Susie Danzis of Training Tails Dog Training is one of the best dog trainers in the Bucks County area. I remember when she first started her career. She is amazing with people and great with the dogs. I'm the owner and president of Bobs Pet Stop "In-Home Dog Behavior Training", and I would highly recommend Susie to help you with your dog in her training classes. Keep up the good work Susie!

We used Susie for our Standard Poodle, Ozzy's kindergarten class. She is wonderful! She is full of amazing and helpful information to help you understand how your puppy thinks and feels. She helps teach you how to get the best out of your puppy. We loved her class and looked forward to learning more and more about training our puppy. She really understands dogs and how they think! I can't wait until our next round of classes!

My dog already stopped agressive leash pulling after one session and an hour of practice after class. I can't wait to see what happens in the coming weeks. I highly recommend! Thank you Susie!

We've attended Susie's Puppy Kindergarten, Reliable Obedience, and Therapy Dog training - and also had her private consultations. Susie has great intuition, knowledge, and experience about dogs that she easily and readily communicates. As a result of her guidance, our much-loved dogs are better members of our family, and I wouldn't be surprised if they thought that about us.
