Who We Are

Our Vision 

To expand knowledge and understanding for people worldwide on what dogs need to be happy, healthy and lifelong members of their family. With a focus on an innovative ‘game-based’ positive reinforcement training system and education, we help dogs to be better understood and to stay in their homes for life.

Our Philosophy

Dogs always do the BEST they can with the EDUCATION they are given in the ENVIRONMENT we expect them to perform in. This belief brings together our company vision and Susan’s mission to work with our global community to create better, positively enriched lives for dogs and the people who love them. 

Our Experience

Dogs That is brought to you by Susan Garrett and the Say Yes Dog Training Team. A world-leading educator of dog trainers, Susan is also one of the most successful agility competitors of the last three decades. She has won multiple Gold Medals at National or World Championship events with every dog she has ever owned over the past 30 years. Susan was one of the very first dog trainers to share knowledge online when she opened her "Clicker Dogs" website many years ago. Susan has helped hundreds of thousands of people enjoy a great relationship with their dogs through her workshops and keynote speaking around the world, award winning books, DVDs, magazine articles, blog posts, podcasts, free dog training and dog agility video series, and online dog training programs.

Susan is world-renowned for her innovative game-based positive reinforcement training that is grounded in the science of animal behaviour. A life long learner, Susan has been at the cutting edge of online education development since 2008, with the introduction of the much loved and wildly popular online dog training course, Recallers. We are planning even more sharing, education and fun in online dog training with Dogs That! Dogs that are happy, healthy and lifelong members of their family is a passion for Susan, the team, and the thousands of dog lovers who form our incredible global community.

Before joining the Say Yes Team, my career had an interesting but fluid path from mechanical engineering, to education and then to development in the legal sector. And now I'm able to combine passions! I’ve had dogs and been involved in a few varieties of dog sports since I was 16 and have a passion for the ‘dog training’ component of everything. In the pre-internet days, I was looking for better ways to train and read articles by Susan in a magazine, which I loved and was my first introduction to “Say Yes”! I live with my amazing husband and dogs on a couple of acres in the sub-tropics.

COACH & CUSTOMER HAPPINESS

Dogs and dog training have been a part of my life for a long time. Since hosting Susan for her first visit to Australia in 2003 I have continued to be inspired by Susan’s awesome vision as an educator helping to change the quality of dogs’ lives around the world, visiting and training with her in Canada on many occasions.
With a background in administration I contributed to a number of projects over the years (and continued to host Susan when she visited Australia). Joining the DogsThat team in 2021 was a perfect way to merge my love of dog training (especially dog agility) and Susan’s approach with my administration and organisational skills.

Marching to the beat of my musical heart since childhood, I'm the guy who can't stand still. To cure my chronic boredom, I dived into the world of design and code. It started with graphics, then web design waved hello, and soon, coding became my jam.

In a surprising twist of fate, I joined Say Yes in 2023. The mission? Making life easier for humans and dogs! When I'm not crafting digital wonders, you'll find me singing in the shower, savoring delicious food, hitting the open road, and cherishing family time. Residing in Islamabad, Pakistan, life's a simple melody with my wife, daughter, and parents.

Growing up in Switzerland, I worked in various fields, ranging from finance to administration and government service. In 2019, I embarked on an adventure with my wife and our animals, moving to northern Sweden. Here, we set up camp on a small farm in the middle of vast forests. We love spending our time in the beautiful nature during the long fairytale winters with our seven sled dogs and enjoying the summer and picturesque falls out on the trails with our two horses.

I enjoy improving our farm, thriving in all kinds of team sports, and diving into everything fantasy-related, from books and movies to games and trivia quizzes. After learning a completely new trade as a carpenter for four years, I was thrilled to get the chance to join Susan’s fantastic Say Yes team. Working surrounded by our dogs and my office cat purring on my lap is a dream come true.

Being part of this marvelous team is truly uplifting every day. You won’t find a finer bunch of lovely professionals combining their passion. Our Customer Happiness team is always here to help and to improve the lives of our members and each animal.

PODCAST HAPPINESS

rEAD MORE

My biggest interest has always been dogs, I have owned English Springer Spaniels since I was 15. I have always tried to learn as much as I can about dog training and behavior and I recently found the Shaped By Dog podcast. I was instantly hooked. Finally a community who feels as I do about their dogs. Susan’s philosophy changed my life with my dogs for the better. 

I was running my own business but I wanted to be part of a team again and do something I’m truly passionate about. I knew after a few months of watching the podcast that I wanted to be a part of the mission to make life better for dogs and the people who love them. By chance I checked our careers page and there was a vacancy on the podcast team!

I am part of the Podcast Happiness Team and love helping to get our insightful
and informative podcast out to our wonderful community. When I’m not at work I’m walking my two Springers, Echo and Lichen, climbing or hiking with my wife.

PODCAST HAPPINESS

rEAD MORE

Growing up in a rural part of the U.S., I always felt a call to broaden my horizons. I spent five years living in Europe and experienced many different cultures and ideas that sparked my love of learning.

I have worked in many fields, from logistics to libraries, but helping people has always been at the core of my goals. As an empathic lifelong learner, I was drawn to the philosophy of Say Yes since I discovered it looking for help with my own dog. Being part of the podcast happiness team is a dream come true.

In my free time I enjoy reading, writing, and playing video games. I live in the Southeastern U.S. with my four cats and Australian Shepherd, Evie, surrounded by books, blankets, and coffee mugs.
