Wind Dancer Referrals, LLC

Susan Hanks is by far the best dog trainer you will find! My husband and I rescued an American Bull Dog named Max who is just adorable, loving and playful. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that he was very aggressive toward other dogs, he pulled on the leash, and he jumped through our window blinds and screens several times to chase after squirrels! We thought we were going to have to return him to the humane society. We researched several dog trainers who either wanted to take him for 2 weeks or charge us way more than we could afford. Then we found Susan and she literally transformed Max within minutes of being here. She taught us how dog packs think, how to read dog food nutrition labels, how to get him to behave, and how to be the loving pet that he wants to be. No longer do we have to worry about him jumping through our house windows or jumping on people, or showing aggression toward another dog or any other negative behavior. Not only is Susan the best animal trainer, she is honest, she has integrity and is she very affordable. If you want your pet healthier and happier and peace in your home, don't wait, call Susan. You'll be glad you did! Lori

I am very glad called Wind Dancer Referrals (Suzy). We called because our new beloved dog Bebe was very aggressive at the fence line, to the point of self harm. Suzy happened to be in town the weekend of my call and worked with us to arrange an appointment for the next day. The moment she arrived we could tell she was the real deal. By reading her behavior, she revealed hints of Bebe's past, like that she was kicked. During the visit she explained both what she was doing and why she was doing it that way. She even roped the neighbors into the session, it was a learning experience for all. After all it isn't just about dog training, it's about people training too. You could hear the passion in her voice when she explained Bebe's past to our neighbors. We addressed not only the problem behavior but supportive pack dynamics to make our new family member comfortable in her new home and release the burden of being the protector from her shoulders.

I STRONGLY and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Susan Hanks from Wind Dancer Referrals!!! She is THE ONE you want in your home to teach you how to train your dog. My sister spent so much $$$ on various trainers and group sessions for our dog just to get NO RESULTS at all. Our dog was traumatized with aggressive and behavior issues. When my sister found Susan, EVERYTHING changed for the BETTER and he has made phenomenal strides. Susan was God sent because his aggression issues were so bad that we feared having him around people for risk of biting/attacking. I’ve never met anyone like Susan who is as intuitive and well versed in understanding dog language and discerning their needs!! She has such a profound gift in working with animals. She’s very reliable, and transparent in letting you know what is working and not working for your dog. Susan is knowledgeable in healthy nutrition options that can also be a contributing factor to your dogs’ behaviors. I can go on and on about her!!! Check out her website and BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH HER NOW!!! -Elizabeth Janvier

First rate experience! We adopted a rescue that was so full of fear we couldn't come near him. His fear aggression led him to bite at us if we came near his space. Susie came to our home & in one mornings time she had given us the tools to be able to physically handle the dog. After 2 months of having him in our home without being able to come near him, we nearly cried when we could first hold him & pet him. Susie went the extra mile & helped us get our little guy to the vet, went over our food choices with him & taught us how to position ourselves so that we could work with him. We were fearful at first to try the techniques without her. However, with Susie's wise words & training of the humans in the house we powered forward. He is now experiencing the love of human interaction. He has since discovered his love for snuggling, laying in the grass & evening walks. I am simply amazed at the turn around. Susie was paramount in giving this little guy a new life. We are forever grateful! The before & after photos say it all!
