Suzie Goes to LA, USA!

Hello all, Tomorrow, Wednesday 24th June, I am flying to the USA, California! And this is much more than "just a holiday" - read on!

I will be staying with my fellow Cesar Millan Ambassador, Jen Freilich, a top USA Trainer and Behaviourist, check out Jen's website for more information: http://www.attheendofyourleash.com/
Jen is my mentor and my most gracious hostess for the week, I am indeed honoured to be able to stay with Jen.

I am privileged to be able to attend the fundraiser that Jen, and our Ambassador Jill, are working so hard in delivering at the moment - this fundraiser is in aid of the Cesar and Illusion Millan foundation, Cesar helps save dogs lives all around the USA!

As well as having this wonderful opportunity to work with Jen and learn even more from her great experience, I will get to meet some stars of the DW show at the fundraiser too - "Daddy" Cesar's dog, a wonderful balanced Pitt Bull, and "Nunu" as well as "Whilshire" the fire department dog - remember these great episodes hey?!

I will take some pictures and then share them with you here on blog.

A huge "Thank you" to my Mum and Dad, without whose support this trip would not be possible, and of course to "Simon" (my husband) who is looking after the pack for me! A special "Thank You" as well to CJ - the founder and leader of the Ambassador group and so much more, a huge inspiration to me, without whom this trip would not have come about, CJ united the Ambassador group and made physical distance no problem. Now with thanks to this group of people my pack are balanced, we are spreading the word in the UK about the sucesses of Cesar's Way, and...I am going to America!

"Stay Calm Assertive" Pack Leaders - I will be posting soon from States Side so stay tuned!

"People Training"! Let's Talk Dogs!

Pack Leader events are all about learning a little dog psychology to help you live in balance with your dogs. These classes are popular because they are all about real life with our pet dogs, not just dog training or only the science!

We look at how to be the Pack Leader, how dogs learn and how our dogs make associations leading them into a type of behaviour or response! And so much more - to find out all about this "people training" then get in touch so I can send you a sample menu...I mean list of topics! We do look at real problems and into the solutions, there are regular "Q&A" sessions as well.

I love presenting these events, we have fun while learning all about dogs. This event in the picture was in Northamptonshire, hosted by my wonderful friends at "Pack Your Paws" and "The Scarlet Paw Print" who also have my "Thanks" for the photos, please do visit their websites: http://www.packyourpaws.com/ and http://www.thescarletpawprint.com/about.html

We can have these events with or without your dog present, we do have half or full days, I can meet your needs so we can create the event just for you!

I share with you success stories, my top tips, and my dogs Bob and Sadie help with demonstrations. Visit my website for further information about my services http://www.suziecrystaldogs.com/

Learn to talk with the animals, species dog!

Pack Leader Training Days!

Here is a picture from one of my people training events, this one was in Northamptonshire. These days or half days are all about teaching owners a little dog psychology and how to be the Pack Leader, Cesar's Way!

At these events "dogs are welcome" too! Here I am leading the way with my Sadie and Bob modeling "how to walk as followers"! This is human leadship/adult dog socialisation - a way to walk together in harmony.

So we begin with a "Pack Walk" - a structured walk to unite all dogs as one pack, this is not about "saying HI" in human ways by us sharing touch/hugs/words with other dogs. Nor is this walk about letting the dogs play, it is all about walking in tune together so all dogs become one pack, "just for now"! All the dogs also learn that none of the other dogs on the walk with them are a threat to them! This creates a balanced bond, while releasing some excited dog energy, many dogs get excited when new people and dogs are all in one place near them, so then all dogs can calmly wait while I teach their owners.

More about these classes coming soon, I run them "Anytime .. Anywhere .. Any Place", a wonderful way to learn more about Being the Pack Leader as I coach you and a chance to meet-up with friends, their dogs too. A fun experience for all as well, including behaviour problem solving!

This is "The Power of the Pack Walk" - Walking together is truly the way to contented canines and pleased people!

A little more about the foundation

this fundraiser is supporting:

*****

National Geographic’s “The Dog Whisperer,” Cesar Millan and his wife Ilusion Millan have founded The Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation, a national, non-profit 501(c)(3) foundation designed to aid and support the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of abused and abandoned dogs.Your Pledge allows The Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation to provide financial support and rehabilitation expertise to shelters throughout the United States, ultimately enabling them to maintain the highest standards of care and assistance to animals under their protection.

*****

The millions of animals that enter shelters each year need the help of strong Pack Leaders. We count on you to lead the charge in helping The Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation save more dogs from euthanasia. Each of these abandoned animals deserves a second chance. Together we can prevent unwanted litters, assist overcrowded shelters, and provide resources to the rescues that work diligently to rehabilitate these dogs and find them the forever homes they deserve.

*****

With your donations, the Millan Foundation is able to provide monetary grant support to the shelters and rescues20on the front lines. These organizations are rescuing dogs from abusive puppy mills and euthanasia lists, alleviating shelter overcrowding through spaying and neutering, and educating today’s youth on proper pet care and the humane and compassionate treatment of animals. To learn more about the foundation, please visit www.MillanFoundation.com.

So please join me in wishing the organisers Jen,

and fellow CA Ambassador Jill Vega,

great success with this event!

THE UK - "CRYSTALDOGS" WISH YOU WELL!

Model Dogs!

The "Power of the Pack" can truly help other dogs recover balance and teach puppies how to follow the rules of the pack...home!

I have recently begun taking Max, my balanced Dobey, out for walks with the "Rehab 3" - my 3 Terriers who have been "highly reactive" to other dogs they pass-by in the past. While Mickey and Timmy simply react with excitement, PeterPan would react with aggression!

Walking with Max we are now passing-by other dogs with no reactivity from any of the "Rehab 3"...nothing...after just one week, they walk on by just like their respected, high ranked dog Max!

I spent much time rehabilitating PeterPan from his severe dog-dog aggression, 1 year in recovery he is no longer red-zone, yet he would still react with a level of "Terrier excitement" upon seeing another dog, now with Max to help he is much calmer and not so anxious. PeterP needed much one-one rehab time first, now he is ready to walk with the others Max is proving a great role model!

I add though this is not all due to modelling from Max, I have increased the pace and the amount of challenge during this exercise, both mental and physical! As well as stepping-up my calm assertive energy - altogether this works and I am the leader of this 4-dog-pack!

Some of my dogs are very experienced "stooge" dogs, dogs who can help other dogs recover by remaining calm submissive and showing the way to balance through their own behaviour/energy, this works well even for an insecure or aggressive dog.

Ava, the puppy, has 9 other balanced dogs to model from on our walk, she is doing great walking in tune with the pack, ears back truly focused on walking next to me in balance with the pack!

The "Power of the Pack" is truly inspirational, if we are open to learn from our balanced dogs we can indeed help other dogs, dogs helping dogs recover balance.

"Discover the way to lead the way" -

My 14 dogs can show you the way too!

Together, my pack and I are CrystalDogs, -

We have "Pack Power"!
