The Method

A fun way to solve serious problems

Learning should be fun, even in the most extreme cases. That’s why Soozy Pooch uses game plans as a simple, effective way to work with you and your dog.

What makes it work

Understand how your dog thinks

You’ll learn your dog’s language and teach your dog yours, so you can read every move and head off problems before they start.

Respect, not force

The goal is to help you become a confident, fair leader. Good behavior is built on trust and respect, never harshness.

Fun, game-based learning

Dogs of any age, and the adults and kids who love them, learn through play. It works, and everyone enjoys it.

How the game plans work

Game Plans are in-home visits to you and your areas of concern. Together you’ll set goals and learn the exact steps to reach them. Each visit brings games chosen for you and your dog to work through whatever issues you’re facing.

There are 30 games in all. Because every dog, and every human, is different, Susan mixes and matches them to fit you and the problems you’re solving. By the end, you’ll have met your goals and gained real confidence handling your dog. No matter the behavior issue or miscommunication, there’s a solution.
