Thanks Sue--you were a life saver for us. We love Jingles. And continue to practice what you have taught us! Funny we are the ones needing the training...Jingles is a natural!

I just wanted to give you an update on Fanny. I don't know if you remember the scenario with her or not, but I emailed you back in mid-late June about her fear of men in the house. Aaron and I have been working on this for the past 3 months and she has been doing much better. We immediately had all visitors give Fanny really delicious treats (hot dog chunks, cheese, cooked chicken) when they would meet her outside. She has been doing really well with this. Just last night Aaron had a male friend (who ended up brining 4 girls with him!) come over to pick him up and they all gave her a treat then came up to the apartment and she just walked around and sniffed everybody while she wagged her tail. Now, whenever the doorbell buzzer rings, she gets so excited that she barks a little bit and wags her tail like crazy. Thanks again for all your help. Fanny is gaining confidence everyday and every time she meets a new person.

I have trained my two dogs with Sue and it couldn't have been a better experience for them or for me. Whenever I had a question, she was there with a sound response, tailored to the individual dog and to me. She's still always available as a resource and sounding board. Training with Sue was both effective and great fun. I recommend her unequivocally.

Manny LOVES Sue. Each time Sue would come for a session, Manny would be so excited to see her. Sue is patient, instructive and caring with our family and with Manny. Through the training, our family learned simple techniques of how to instruct our dog. These techniques were easy enough for me and my young boys to practice with Manny. Now people can come to the house and be greeted by a much calmer dog.

Sue's method of training is by far the best there is. After working with her for almost one year, I can say that the training has been outstanding for both my Dane and me. I feel like Thunder and I are truly partners working toward his CGC and eventual Therapy certification. Because of Sue, this giant dog and I have a deeply rooted kindness and respect for each other. We learn together. There is no better outcome one could ask for between students and teacher!

Proof Pawsitive and Sue Loucks offer a really special dog training experience. She was able to set me up with dog training, or should I say "People training" in a very short time period, as we adopted a dog with some special needs and I needed help right away. Sue was very good at identifying the issues at hand, and was able to offer a solution to most of his issues. Within a very short time, the dog was able to walk on a leash without pulling (too much) and confidence was being built in both of us. Sue is very dedicated to helping people help their dogs become great canine citizens! I would recommend her and Proof Pawsitive to anyone looking for help with their dogs. Allowing the dog to be able to make the correct choice is the best way of dog training I have ever experienced.

Louie and I were both happy after seeing you yesterday! Thanks for all the pointers as we move toward our goal of "CGC" -- and yes, I know I've put in a lot of work with him but the "third way training" and you have made our first year together so much better!
