REVIEWS

"Highly recommend Sue's services - professional, informative, succinct and easy to understand content. Saved us tons of hours going down the internet "advice" rabbit hole... We did a Zoom session before bringing our new pup home and I would high encourage new pup owners to do a training session with Sue to build the right foundations for a healthy relationship with your fur baby!"

"We need more than 5 stars! Sue has changed our dog's life and ours. You are so gifted with dogs and people.. Just absolutely amazing.
We travelled interstate to Animal Stars Dog Training and it was a trip worth every second.
Thank you - we miss you!"

"I am honestly lost for words when it comes to Sue as a trainer...  she has been able to offer an almost immediate solution.  ...Better yet one of the few trainers I have met that actually walks you through everything she does and justifies it all perfectly and then sends you away with all the tricks to maintain what she has taught the dog. Her rates are incredible and her services incomparable.  I could just not recommend her enough."

"Sue is absolutely amazing! I spent two hours with her working one-on-one with my pup today. The positive changes in my puppy’s behaviour by this afternoon have been incredible. Sue has up-skilled me to be able to lead my pup using the right techniques and backing it up with consistency. Highly recommend "

I must admit that when we were at Sue’s doing the two-hour training with our pup, I was a little overwhelmed by how much work we had to do to fix the early mistakes we’d made. But honestly, since we got home, it’s like he’s been transformed overnight! The two hours with Sue made the most incredible difference; it’s like his place in the family hierarchy clicked and we all feel more confident and relaxed. I really can’t thank you enough Sue - Griff is a different pup! You’re amazing.

Sue provided me with wonderful insight into establishing clear communication & a strong bond between myself and our labradoodle puppy. We had excellent one on one training with Sue and the service that she offered is exceptional. Nearing 6 months of age our puppy is a wonderful companion whom I look forward to sharing many adventures with in the years to come.
Thank you Sue ..xx
