Suzanne has been amazing! We sent our puppy to her for a 10 day training. She visited us at home first to see how the puppy interacted with us and specific things that were important to us for training. While she had our pup, she made videos so we could see how the training was going and so we could continue the same thing at home. After he came home, Suzanne did a few follow up visits as needed to be sure everything was going well! She went above and beyond and is truly passionate about helping families have the perfect dog for them.

We have used MCMinnville Dog Trainer twice, for 2 different dogs. Each dog needed something different from the training process. Our 1st girl needed more confidence building & bonding time (actually for the both of us). I wasn’t as focused on her learning all the commands as I was just having the overall experiences, but she did AMAZING. Our 2nd needed to go back to doggy school. His first training wasn’t in a socialized environment and that’s what he needed the most. His “stranger danger” anxiety has gone way down - in fact on our walk this morning her didn't bark at one person! Suzanne is great with all dog personalities and really focuses and teaches per dog. You’re in a group setting, but she sees what each dog needs help in and show you tricks to help YOUR dog do well. Best dog trainer out there ❤️

Suzanne is very talented and has an amazing gift for people and dog training, it's a team thing.
Over five years ago, we met Suzanne Parker, McMinnville Dog Trainer (formerly, Mac Dog Trainer). She's the real deal. Suzanne takes the time to assess your pup and their needs and provides you with the tools to go forward. Suzanne's balanced, behavioral training is truly the best way to help our pups be all they can be. We learned dog training happens every time we are together, at home, or the park or the store. When everybody understands the expectations, things are so much easier and so much fun! Suzanne has helped to whistle train our Miss Charlie (85-pound English Chocolate Lab) in an off-leash environment, which is awesome. Refresher training and tips from Suzanne's website are extremely helpful. I always feel I can reach out if we are in need of additional training. Both of our daughters and their rescue pups have also trained with Suzanne are now on track to become amazing family members!
We highly recommend Suzanne Parker, McMinnville Dog Trainer, for you, your pup and your family.
No need to make excuses when you leash walk your dog if they are pulling you down, barking, are unsettled, or whatever.
Suzanne will help to guide you, providing the tools you'll need so you and your pup can be the team you always wanted to be.
I think dog training is another type of insurance to help ensure good behavior whenever we are out together, and we are forever thankful and grateful for this!

Suzanne has been a real godsend with our rescued French Mastiff. Our dog’s history left her with very little socialization skills and she had a proclivity to lunge at people, dogs, bikes and trucks. Within a few sessions with Suzanne and following her direction and advice our dog’s behavior was radically changed. She’s now successfully been social with other dogs off leash and her demeanor has relaxed on walks and in meeting new people. Highly recommend Suzanne’s services.

We've been working with Suzanne, both individually and in her Urban Good Canine Citizen class. Our 5-yr old Catahoula Leopard is smart and happy to please, but my husband has never had a dog and I've had, but never really ever trained, dogs. Suzanne is great with the dogs, to be sure! But I almost think her greater strength is with the dog's humans! She's been so supportive and friends comment at what a wonderful dog Blue has evolved into! (Even if he was already any amazing pup!)
MIRACLE worker!!
Where do I even begin?! We did one session with Suzanne for my dog with leash reactivity. My dog already turned a corner with our first session. For the next week we did homework with her and practiced what we learned with training and within less than a week she was walking on the leash like a completely different dog. She even is behaving better in the house and with us better too. I cannot recommend Suzanne more than this. She is the BEST dog trainer. She is very very informative on EVERYTHING that you do with your dog in the sessions and the leash/collar you put on your dog in the sessions. If you have any questions she is very informative. There was not one question I asked that she did not know. It didn’t even take 2 full sessions for her to help us with our girl having leash reactivity. I am so thankful that I was able to meet Suzanne and see how wonderful of a person and dog trainer she is. She truly does have an amazing gift. If you need an amazing miracle worker don’t think twice about contacting her! And not to mention her prices are very very reasonable. You can tell she really enjoys and loves what she does. I am so so thankful that I found Suzanne to be my trainer!
We have a 3 year old Frenchie named Clarkson who was very dog reactive. We had been to numerous other trainers in Sherwood, Portland and Carlton. We had been working with him since he was less than 6 months old and didn’t seem to be making much progress. We reached out to Suzanne and the change we have seen in Clarkson over the past 2 months have been life changing!! We cannot say enough about the amazing, practical approach that Suzanne takes. She truly gets to know your pup very well and builds great trust and rapport with them. In addition to Clarkson we also have a pug who is a year and a half old. She recently went through level 1 Obedience with Suzanne and it was fantastic as well. We would recommend anyone needing help with your dog(s) to reach out to Suzanne as she will be able to help no matter what!
