The Best Gift For Dog Owners (And Puppy Owners)

Oh Susan, you need a national TV show to show everyone how great it is to teach dogs. 💕

Hi Susan,
I ordered a future puppy this last October 2021 that I will be able to adopt in June or August 2022, when he is 9 weeks old. It has been 4 years since my last PERFECT dog died, taking me this long to trust that I will love my next dog equally. Once I ordered my future dog I immediately started watching UA-cam dog training podcasts because I hoped that I could be as successful with my next dog as I had been with my PERFECT dog.
About two weeks ago I stumbled upon your Shaped By Dog podcasts and have watched every episode through this one (and will watch all future podcasts and then buy some, if not all, of your programs) - yes, I have watched about 10 episides per day!
I completely agree with your philosophies on behavior (I used the same philosophies to raise my three children, ages 37-47 years old, and they are all phenomenal, happy, and giving members of society; i.e., each one is Brilliant).
Thank you so much for all your insights - I now see where my prior training of my PERFECT dog was in tune with your mantra and therefore successful, AND how incredibly SMART and willing to please my PERFECT dog must have been to overcome all my weaknesses when I messed up his training.
With your podcasts and my future enrollment in your classes, I am fairly confident (as long as my ego doesn't get in the way) that my next dog will be just as PERFECT as my last dog.
God bless you for your unselfish offers in dog (and people) training/relationships. thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU.

Love, love loved this. That was me... home school the dog led to Recallers which led to Handling 360. I couldn't believe then where this journey was leading.

Just gifted a friend of Home School The Dog. Christmas gift in advance for her and the new puppy she is getting in January.

Best gift ever! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

[@rachell4307]

I’m crossing my fingers and dropping all the hints for someone to gift me H360 😅😂🙃🐶❤️… and saving up in the meantime! I can’t wait. I really feel like it’s so important to stay ahead of our dog’s education. Recallers is definitely helping with that. I’m starting to see they layers come through! BUT I just started beginner agility classes with my puppy and we are much more effective when I can work on skills before class, then introduce them again in class with distractions… but at this point everything is so new, I don’t even know WHAT I don’t know and I aim to find out 😜
