Wind Dancer Referrals, LLC

We couldn’t be more happy with Wind Dancer Referrals. We were looking for a well qualified competent trainer who could give us the time, attention to detail and really want your puppy to be a great member of the family as well as a farm dog. We have a 4.5 month old Australian Cattle Dog who is amazing, lovable and high drive. We needed a way to harnesss his excitement into training. We really wanted to make sure that he was going to fit in at home and on the farm. Susie was here for five minutes and we were already amazed at the command she had. She went through all aspects of owning a dog, training and communicating with our puppy. She did a fantastic job. Susie was amazing at training and explaining. She gave homework for us to work on and we provided a 48 report as to our progress with our pupppy. It was great to be able to communicate what was going right and what we needed to work on. What really helped us is we are able to see where our puppy needed more instruction and also were we needed more instruction. We couldn’t have been more happy and we are over the moon to have found Susie. We can’t wait for our next session.

We recently purchased a lab puppy and were growing increasingly frustrated with some behavioral issues. We decided to seek some professional training, so we began searching the internet for local trainers. We started the process at 9:00 pm looking at websites and reading reviews. We stumbled upon Wind Dancer Referrals (Susie) and was impressed by the reviews that were on line. The next thing we noticed is that she was open at 9:30 at night! We called Susie and discussed the situation and she came to our house the next day. Within minutes of her arrival, we were already seeing a change in our dog’s behavior. The session included a health assessment, a nutrition assessment and then teaching (owner and dog) five commands. Susie leaves you with homework to continue reinforcing the commands and then asks you to provide a 48 hour update on how the dog is doing. We were extremely impressed by Susie’s professionalism in the way she handles the dog and in the immediate change that we saw in our energetic puppy. Susie makes herself available for questions and pointers and we would (and have) recommended her to others looking for help in training their pets. We look forward to our next training session which will include teaching our 3-year-old granddaughter to give Winnie commands. Susie is a true blessing to our family.

Susie is a God-send. She came out to help us with our beautiful 6 year old Golden Retriever Cooper that has gotten aggressive and bitten 3 members of the family over the past 3 years. This last time it was to the point where we were needing to find him a new home. These were isolated stressful situations that happened once a year and we tried to adjust ourselves, but after the last instance I found Susie. She is helping us re-train him and helping us work with him to desensitize him. We have had her out once and plan a return visit to keep up the great progress we have made. We are helping him not resource-guard by regularly giving and taking away bones. We are working with him on basic commands and now understand that there are many components that were probably at the heart of his issues, but we are hopeful. He is eager to please and play and loves the trainings. Thank you Susie for helping us!!! SHE IS A DOG WHISPERER:)

Nov 24, 2018. Cant thank you enough Susie for the incite and professional competence in training & modifying our Nala's behavior. For working around our last minute schedule change due to unexpected circumstances & traveling from WI to NC. We adopted a 2yr old female German Shepherd who spent most of her time in a kennel & next to no interaction with any other dogs. She had much seperation anxiety, liked to nip & wanted to be the alpha dog with us & any dog she saw. Since the time Susie has spent with her, Nala has been more responsive to our commands, her anxiety level & nipping has decreased & her interaction with other dogs has improved & continues to do so. Even her interaction with our 14yr old cat has improved remarkably. Thank you again Susie for your work with our sweet Nala & educating us in how to bring out the best in her.

Susie is simply phenomenal when it comes to working with animals! We truly believe she is the dog whisperer. This is the second time we had her come back. She had helped us train our female Akita Phoebe two years ago. Phoebe even after two years still knows all her commands that Susie taught her! It’s simply amazing! Today in just two short hours Susie had our ten week old Akita puppy sitting, doing down, going into his crate and letting us know that he wants to potty outside. Susie was so patient with our puppy Spencer. Never forcing him to do anything. Only positive reinforcements. It’s amazing what a little patience will do in the long run. My husband and I are very happy with the service we received. We highly recommend Susie for all your animal training needs. She is hands down the best!
