What people say about EPP . . .
“Suzanne changed forever our early puppy program forever. Our puppies are leaving the breeding center far more equipped and ready to head out in to the world with our volunteers better then every! Our success of our program has been enhanced beyond ever imagining.”
Yvonne Martin, Guide Dogs of America
“I unexpectedly found myself preparing to raise an entire litter of puppies that I hoped would become happy, healthy souls that could thrive in a fickle human world. I signed up for her online Enriched Puppy Protocol (EPP) and none too soon; my Tijuana street rescue gave birth not long thereafter. Nothing in my life with animals challenged me as much emotionally, as sometimes physically, as raising seven Malinois-GSD-Greyhound mutts from day one. Training one puppy to be mentally and physically balanced is no small feat, multiply that by seven! Suzanne’s EPP was an essential guide that I referred to countless times, providing not only practical guidance and well-researched biological information, but also a perspective that fueled an effective and compassionate learning process for my high energy pups. I discovered that her practical knowledge from years if raising infant puppies combined with her extensive behavioral experience made her a virtual unicorn. Whether you are an experienced behaviorist or a new puppy parent, I cannot recommend Suzanne’s instructional resources highly enough. I guarantee you won’t regret the investment, and neither will your canine kids.”
Renee Owens, ethologist & conservation biologist
“Our dog trainer Pat Rapaport of Hole in the Wall Dog Training in Morehead City, NC suggested we follow your EPP raising our pups. I wanted to let you know that the pups are doing FANTASTIC. They traveled on a 12 hour car ride last week, stopping three times for potty breaks and to eat. They didn't whine or mess in the crate once. They are adapting well to new environments and our second home in Pennsylvania (including first time seeing snow!), and have been handled by kids as young as 2 years old and adults. They seem to be resilient, curious and ready to take on the world. It has been a lot of work, but the results are amazing!”
