‘A brilliant dog 1st aid course covering everything you would need to know, from saving your dog’s life to learning to put a bandage on an ear.  Fantastic day.’

Gail O’Donnell, A1 Pretty Paws, Gateshead.

‘Many thanks to you and Emma for a fantastic course today.  Loved meeting the gorgeous canine helpers too!  I have recommended the course to some other dog walkers I know’

Janine Fairbrother

‘Overall it was a really good class which I enjoyed.  The nurse was an excellent speaker, fluid and friendly, and I would recommend the course to any dog owner and especially to any dog professional.  Keep up the great work.’

Jayne Lockey

‘Glad I attended the first aid course.  I’d encourage anyone living or working with dogs to go along to the next one.  Now I’m aware of what to do, and just as importantly what NOT to do in an emergency.  Emma explained the dos and don’ts and whys and wherefores very clearly, and the course booklet is a welcome reference guide. ‘

Deborah Collins

‘I truly enjoyed the course and it was great to learn lots of new things and know that I may now be able to save my pets life if necessary! Everyone was very friendly and the day was enjoyed by everyone including your dogs. Thank you for the opportunity and hopefully this experience will help me gain the job I really want working with dogs in the long run.

Suzanne Metcalff

‘If you don’t have a clue about first aid for dogs, then target this course!’

David Holmes, Diamond Dog Behaviour

‘The First Aid Course was very informative and useful.  I hope I never need to use what I have learnt at the course, on Cody or any other dog but I am very greatful incase I ever do.  There was a lovely friendly atmosphere and Emma kept the whole day interesting.  Many thanks to Sue for arranging it and Misty for allowing us to prod and poke her!’

Carole Harrison

‘I thought that the Canine First Aid Course was very enlightening and my friend Diane and I very much enjoyed it. We learned a lot on the course and some things that we were told we were amazed about and it was very worthwhile to be there and have these things brought to our attention.  We found Emma very good and she explained things very thoroughly to us which is good, as on a lot of courses you come away thinking ‘what was all of that about?’ but not on this one.  It was very well presented and everyone was made to feel part of the course.  Please give Misty another piece of chicken from us as she was wonderful yesterday, letting us bandage her leg and ears.  She deserves it!’

Pauline Brown

‘Thanks for providing such a valuable and professional course. As a pet care services provider first aid knowledge is invaluable as no owner would forgive me if their animal suffered in a health emergency. I now feel confident and fully equipped to deal with any first aid situations I may encounter thanks to the courses great balance of information and practical demonstrations.’

Rob Adair

‘I wanted to write and let you know how pleased I am with the Muttamorphosis classes. Polly and I both enjoyed the classes a lot. Many people have commented on how quickly Polly’s behavior has improved, and I’ve noticed a big change in her myself. I was particularly impressed with how all the dogs get individual attention. Being a terrier Polly is very excitable and full of energy, and the individual tips you’ve given me have made a big difference.’

Ann M Wilson

‘Just to say, thank you again for your very useful course. It has certainly made him a much better behaved teenager and everyone comments on how good he is. I have recommended you to someone who was asking about dog training and will do so again, if asked.’

Stephen Lightley

 

‘I must say you have transformed both of us – and the family . I never thought I would have a border terrier who would “leave it” when faced with a bag of chips on a walk . She was on a lead but it’s a good start.She walks well on a lead , sits when I meet people and loves to play with us. She is quite polite to other dogs. And gentle with my cats and does not even notice the guinea pigs , all a result of training and advice from yourself. We have a new saying in our house when faced with any thing new with the dog “ What would Sue say?” and Ruth will tell me. Your name has been quoted so often even my son talks about you. When sitting in the car talking to his friend who has a dog  I heard him say “ Angus you must never set your dog up to fail. That’s what Poppy’s trainer says.”  not bad for a 3 year old.’

Victoria Daniels

“We can’t recommend Sue highly enough.  Her classes have been a vital part of Bertie’s development -and he adores her!  She provides you with the tools to bring out the wonderful potential in your dog; the improvement in all our puppies by the end of the Bronze course was amazing.”

Cath Amos

 

” We have been to Sue’s (Muttamorphosis) clicker classes and had a couple of home visits/private training sessions. Sue is friendly, professional and enthusiastic, she whole-heartedly throws herself into working with the dogs and really seems to have a special way with them.

The clicker classes were enjoyable, helpful, with a relaxed atmosphere, great handouts and fun for the dogs. Since working with Sue, Kizzie’s recall has improved massively and we have been able to use the tools that Sue has taught us to teach Kizzie further skills and commands.

I would recommend Sue to anyone and would have no hesitation in using Sue’s services again.“

Dianne, Megan & Melissa Burnett

 

‘Just wanted to tell you we enjoyed your class, and we have seen a real improvement in Dexter, and will recommend you to our friends.’

Bev & Jason

“We cannot  thank Sue enough for putting her skills and extensive knowledge to good use in transforming our Springer, Alfie, from being a hyper, unruly puppy into a lovely well-behaved dog. Sue’s training and guidance have been invaluable – you just have to look at her own dogs to appreciate her love of animals and enthusiasm for her profession.  We highly recommend Sue and the services of Muttamorphosis.”

SJ Newcastle

“We were very impressed with the way our puppy became a socialised and (nearly!) well behaved dog, all thanks to both your puppy class and more recently clicker class.  I have, and will continue to do so, recommended especially the puppy class, to friends.  Also – it’s good to know that if behaviour problems appear we always know that you will be able to help to sort them out.”

Avery Family

“We bought a Border Terrier puppy that turned out to be a bit highly strung and very nervous of other dogs. Attending Sue’s puppy and clicker classes equipped us with some great techniques and confidence to turn our dog into a well trained and confident adult. We love having a terrier that comes back when called. We valued the experience so much that we now have our new BT puppy in Sue’s puppy class.”

D. Collins

‘Muttamorphosis have provided us with an excellent, friendly, flexible and reliable dog-walking service. I have felt confident about giving Sue access to our home when we are out, and also have complete confidence in Sue’s ability to look after our dog. Our old dog always comes back with a smile on her face and a spring in her step!’

Anonymous

‘Our puppy is so well behaved and a delight to have around the house and I know we can take no credit for this, Sue’s help and training has been invaluable. A wonderful website + service and we would recommend her wholeheartedly!’

Kelly Bowers

‘Two home visits to help me begin training a rescue dog which was extremely helpful in getting started with a dog who had no previous training at all. Lots of help and suggestions to my questions by e-mail. Subsequently joined a training course for several months and worked on various behaviours. Very good handouts and general advice and support.‘

Irmgarde Horsley

‘I have two Cocker Spaniels, Lola and Millie who have both been to the puppy classes that Sue (Muttamorphosis) runs. I found the classes to be fun and informative and the dogs certainly had a good time! As a result I have two well behaved dogs that are a pleasure to own. I would definitely recommend these classes to anyone who has a puppy or is thinking of getting one in the near future.’

Nicola

‘My dog took to Sue right away. He’s gone through a lot of changes in his life and it’s great to see him so happy and at ease with her. Thanks!’

Anonymous

‘Sue is a star! My work pattern is erratic and she is always happy to fit Buddy into her already busy schedule. He can be a challenging dog, but she has had a positive impact on his behaviour, and he is much easier to handle. The ultimate test is Buddy’s reaction when he sees her!’

Jeni Ling

‘Harvey is doing really well in most areas. We have found the clicker training method and your advice amazingly successful. Within the house he is such a different dog to when we first got him. He sits and looks at us to have a door opened or to get his meals. He loves training sessions. Friends can’t believe the commands he understands…I dread to think what life with him would have been like if we hadn’t been to your classes.’

Pete & Vic Smith

‘Sue has been walking Bracken our 41/2 year old Golden Retriever for just 3 months now, but during that time she has managed to overcome our dog’s fear of cars. Bracken used to dig her heels in and need physically lifting into the boot. Now she will leap into Sue’s van without hesitation. Bracken obviously loves her walks with Sue and always comes back happy, exhausted, wet and sometimes muddy – just what an energetic retriever needs. From an owner’s point of view, Sue is reliable, trustworthy and extremely accommodating. We cannot recommend her highly enough.’

Chris & Carole

‘We have used Muttamorphosis services on three occasions – behaviour support, puppy classes and clicker training. We would highly recommend Sue for her knowledge, support and understanding of dogs. Sue has been a great help to our family and has also introduced us to rescue dogs which has now resulted in us having a wonderful pet.’

The Fisher Family

‘I can’t recommend Sue’s classes highly enough, if you follow the course through you can’t fail to notice a huge difference in your dog. She teaches (amongst other things) how to get the dog to focus on you when out and about which means they are an absolute pleasure to walk. Sue makes the classes easy to understand and each dog (and owner) is dealt with as an individual. She is always happy to give help and advice if you are having problems with things that are not covered in class and you never feel rushed. If you ever need confirmation of the fantastic things that can be achieved with Sue’s methods you just need to see her beautiful collie Sage in action!’

Katy Bidetta

‘Through this site and other people’s recommendations and experiences, I found Sue McCabe, who looks after my dog Taz while I am at work. Sue has an excellent and natural ability with animals and I was immediately reassured by my dog’s reaction to her when we first met. Now when I drop him off, he happily rushes through the front door to meet with his friends for a day of fun and games. My job demands a great deal of flexibility and Sue always manages to work things around in order for my dog to be kept looked after and safe while I am away. I hope my posting helps other dog owners to find excellent care for their dog and peace of mind for themselves as I have found with Sue.’

Magnolia Kannava

‘Sue has been an absolute godsend! Ebs is a different dog, very settled, happy and more confident with other dogs since making friends with Sue and the other dogs she walks. I no longer feel guilty about leaving Ebs when I go to work as I know she gets an excellent walk every day. Sue is extremely professional and is excellent with the dogs. A service I cannot do without.’

Sam Clarkson

‘Ruby and I owe a big THANK YOU to Sue’s skill and patience. Ruby is a 3-year-old bull terrier who, after having four homes within a 9 month period, came to me with some peculiar habits – some of which were distressing for her and me. They ranged from fear and lack of socialisation, to aggression and ‘tantrums’. The one-to-one consultation, at home allowed Sue to see Ruby in her own environment, giving her the background needed to devise a training program for Ruby and I that is fun for us, easy to implement and takes into account our needs, lifestyle and Ruby’s idiosyncrasies! She has supported us offering advice, guidance and praise at every turn. Sue has made a small dog (and her owner!) very happy! I would recommend Sue unreservedly.’

Helen Davison (and Ruby)

‘Sue has made me feel happy about being at work during the day, my dog gets more exercise now than if I had been at home all day! Sue makes sure he has enough water and if I have any worries or queries Sue is more than happy to help. She is very professional and has a very special way with dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend her.’

Rachel Dryden

‘I had complete confidence in Sue when she walked our two spaniels for a week recently. She took the time to come out with me before to find out how they behaved and the commands they were used to and generally get to know them. She is very professional but also obviously a great dog lover and my dogs loved her back!’

Sarah Bates

‘I really cannot recommend Sue highly enough. She has been regularly walking my springer spaniel Jay for the last 9 months. She really is quite wonderful with dogs and her abilites as a dog trainer have not only ensured that she has wonderfully trained dogs my 12 year old dog (who is completly deaf) is now trained to respond to hand signals. It is such a help to know the dog gets not only regular walks but also lots of fuss and attention and comes back happy and exhausted! We were also fortunate enough to have her to look after jay while we were away and had absolute peace of mind about how she was being looked after.’
