Susan is calm, kind and patient.
Susan is calm, kind, patient, knowledgeable and practical! Weaving the science of dog training with the art of melding our lives together, she worked her magic. Susan’s communication and accessibility goes above and beyond. She was there to talk us off the edge in the beginning and always happy to give extra tips and tune ups as needed. Couldn’t be happier or recommend her more highly. Our pup agrees! Judy & Stella

It's worth the investment!
Susan embodies what you want in a competent dog trainer. She understands the pet and the dog owner. She is patient with both and she provides the tools necessary for each to learn properly. Susan educates the owner so they can provide the best training for the dog. She listens to the dog owner’s concern and frustration. She takes into consideration the lifestyle and abilities of the owner and the dog. Then provides a comprehensive program for them both. I highly recommend her and her training. Denise
