"I've had many dogs but my new Labrador has been a different sort of dog. In the past I've understood the direction to take form a connection with my dogs. This boy was a puzzle and Sumac helped me to understand what he needed to help me communicate what I wanted from him. Since our two private lessons my dog and I have formed a closer bond and we will continue to experiment using the new tools Sumac gave us."

"Sumac went out of her way to accommodate our schedule and broke our pup out of his shell on the first visit. She certainly knows what she’s doing and I would recommend her a millions times!"
