Introduction: I am a certified pet trainer with over 10 years of experience in training ranging from basic to behavior modification. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and rescue animals. My clients say what sets me apart is that I always go above and beyond, no matter the challenge. I adore animals and have developed a keen understanding, through study and experience, of how to compassionately achieve my clients' goals for their pets. My clients appreciate I am competitively priced. I am also educated in certain vet tech and holistic services for pets. I have a large backyard for exercising and training. My assistant trainer is an amazing Shepherd who models proper behavior for pups and teaches socialization in a brilliantly effective way--as only a "Momma" dog can. Glowing recommendation letters provided on request.
Everything! The work is hugely meaningful and fun. Making life as good as possible for animals and their families is extremely rewarding.

Susan is the dog walker, trainer, running companion, and home away from home for our three year old Carolina dog Sandy. The American Kennel Club says Carolina dogs are the most hierarchical breed which means until you establish yourself as their alpha, they can be willful, exhibit dominance (i.e., they want to be at your face level so they jump up), and have almost boundless energy. We were told that Sandy would be as energetic at 13 years as she was at 13 months. We said, What have we gotten ourselves into? But Susan has turned Sandy into a perfect lady. First she taught her to sit in the care\ and not bother the driver. Sandy now loves her rides. Susan took Sandy on long runs. Sandy came home so tuckered out she only wanted to lie on her pillow and sleep. When Susan arrives for Sandy’s run, Sandy gets so excited she wants to jump up and kiss Susan’s face (remember dominance). Susan uses that as a teaching moment so that Sandy minds her manners and has to wait and sit before she gets to go on her run. Susan has four dogs of her own and when she boards Sandy for the weekend the dogs have a wonderful time together. Susan's dogs teach Sandy their good manners. In short, Susan has taken one of the most difficult breeds to train and turned her into almost the perfect pet, because once Sandy learned her manners all she wants to do is kiss and hug you. We love Sandy and she is a full member of our family and we cannot thank Susan enough for helping us train her.
In short if you are looking for help with your dog from simple regular exercise, to boarding, to basic and then complex training, we cannot recommend anyone more highly than Susan Rubin for that service.

Susie was excellent and did a great job of creating strategies to help our entire family including young children train our new puppy. She was easy to work with and was able to provide additional support to help socialize our puppy.
