I have personally seen Dr. Karen Sueda work with probably close to 100 different cases ranging from cats eliminating outside of their litterbox, to resource guarding puppies, dogs biting their owners, to dogs lunging and biting at each other in households and on walks. I have to say I can not think of one single case where she wasn't able to help the owners improve their pet's behavior in some way, with many cases being completely resolved. She also helped me with my own dog and his phobias/anxieties. As a dog trainer, I have had a few "mentors" throughout my career, but I definitely learned the most from Dr. Sueda. Her consultations are incredibly comprehensive: She first gets a THOROUGH history so she knows exactly what's going on with your pet, then based on your situation and pet's individual personality, she comes up with a behavior modification plan that will suite you and your environment. Her methods are ALWAYS humane and positive and she exhausts all possible options before thinking about prescribing medication. When she does prescribe medication, she doesn't just throw the same pill at every pet and call it a magic fix. She takes the time to make sure you are comfortable with it, and chooses a medication and dosage specific for your pet's personality and situation and closely monitors them afterward. I have had the luck of getting to "shadow" many of her cases, as well as work together on mutual cases and I learn something new every time. As a previous client and colleague of Dr. Sueda's, I 100% recommend her to anyone needing serious help with their pet's behavioral issues. (she's especially great with kitty potty issues! :) ) read more
