Paws Up Reviews

Sara Whitley - Dundee, OR

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 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!)
