TDLR: Susan is amazing! We can’t recommend her enough. She was very gentle and patient with our boy. She’s also generous with her time, I never felt rushed or like she was in a hurry. And she seemingly has an answer/solution for everything! Training a dog for the first time can be very stressful and having her for guidance made it so much better. If you’re thinking about hiring a dog trainer, look no further!

Susan was an amazing trainer that worked with both of our dogs for these last 6-7 weeks. Our dachshund terrier Biggie loved having her show him all the basic sit, stays, place, and much-needed leash etiquette, along with a bunch of behavior modification and our Great Dane became a lot more manageable and is on his way to becoming a much better walker after only about a lesson or 2. She has brought several of her dogs along to help and test them on how they should behave around other dogs, and it has really helped me to know what to do when those type of dog-to-dog interactions come up. I constantly get compliments on how well behaved biggie has gotten since he has completed his training and walking him is now a much more enjoyable time without the constant pulling and going from one side to the next. I would recommend Susan to absolutely anyone looking for a trainer - she was an amazing help and I’m very happy to have been lucky enough to be taught by her.

In my many years as a dog owner, I had never encountered a trainer that could get rid PERMANENTLY of problems such as barking, destroying things, etc., in ONE session. Extremely satisfied and grateful!

Wow - I was in tears of joy to see how quickly our dog can behave when we are given the right tools. Susan helped me learn how to walk our dog, stop him from jumping on people, to focus on us (watch me command) and even a trick of turning around for the fun of it. Susan is easily the most affordable, money well spent. She doesn't put us on a multi-week plan but rather if we need more training or not. She understands the stress of not being able to communicate with your dog and getting family members on the same page so she encourages us to call her anytime we need her, even if for moral support that we are doing things right. She is s sweetheart and my husband and I are thrilled with the outcome. Thank you so much!
