This podcast could change your relationship with your dog. Great episode topics and Susan is an amazing teacher as well as a dog trainer (and those two things don’t always go hand in hand)! This podcast library is an invaluable resource to any dog owner. You will come back to many of these episodes and listen again. Sense with useful information.

My dogs and I are so grateful for these podcasts! I tend to listen to each episode at least three times, mostly while driving in the car. I always learn something new, gain new insights. I have shared podcast episodes with the professional trainers I work with. They have adopted the approach and use the lessons learned with their other clients. The ripples spread outward ad infinitum!

I love these podcasts. They are so full of good information. I love the science behind it. Learning the psychology of how my dog processes learning as been so interesting and fun. I love watching him work things out. You can see the wheels turning in his brain. Susan Garrett is a terrific teacher both educational and fun.

I grew up around hounds and was taught to train them in not the friendliest of ways. As I grew older I noticed flaws in this approach. Susan Garrett’s podcast has help me to rehabilitate my approach to something that feels right in my soul, training with kindness. I hope that I can pass this training and passion for dogs along to the generations after me.

I wish every down owner could find Susan Garrett’s podcast and YouTube channel. Her approach is pretty different from anything else I’ve come across and so much more effective and enjoyable for both dog and owner.

Susan’s blend of scientific theory and application is spectacular. She is extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and clear. The podcast and videos are well edited and thoughtful. I learn so much about dog training AND about myself and how I treat animals and people. Thank you Susan and team!

I absolutely love this podcast. I have listened to episodes several times to help grasp the concept better and learn while on the go. I also love the visuals on the YouTube videos, they are very helpful to see the whole picture.

I started listening to Shaped by Dog and it quickly became my favorite podcast! The education Susan provides is fantastic! With the information I learned from Susan I was able to help my previously shy and low drive Miniature American Shepherd gain valuable skills that have opened up her world. She is now confident in new environments with unfamiliar people and dogs. We have even started training agility and she is picking up skills and behaviors quickly and enthusiastically! Sending thanks to Susan and her team for putting out such great educational content that helps so many dogs and the people who love them!

This podcast has the interesting conundrum of being fantastic for new dog owners because of the good information Susan has to offer but also being bad because of the condescension she gives for any mistakes or misunderstandings a new dog owner would make, along with heavy criticism of any training technique that doesn’t match with her own.

As someone with a six-month-old GSD pup, this podcast has been a lifesaver for me. I absolutely love it. Thank you Susan., for sharing your expertise, enthusiasm and insights.
