Testimonials
“Very Knowledgeable. We have absolutely loved working with Sue! She is calm, kind, and very knowledgeable about dogs. We are so pleased with how many things our puppy learned in just four sessions. My husband and I felt very supported by Sue with any questions we had, and we enjoyed having her in our home so she could see our dog’s living environment. We are thankful for Sue’s guidance, and we felt like it has made our transition into having a new puppy much easier knowing we had someone to ask questions to. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”
– Sara T.
“VERY happy. We hired Sue to help with our new puppy who will be a very large dog. Sue was great and her services are very affordable. She knows dogs, she knows what they’ll do before they do it, is patient, kind, professional, has a great sense of humor, is flexible with scheduling, offers great ideas to help with issues, makes training fun and her ability to train in our home was a HUGE plus. She also offers socialization opportunities which is a must for all puppies/dogs. We are VERY happy we found Sue to help us! I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have a well-behaved puppy/dog!”
– Rachael
“Sue was very quick in her communication when I initially contacted her about puppy training. When we started training sessions with her, Sue came to our house and offered 6 puppy sessions for a very reasonable price. Our Great Dane puppy was very responsive to Sue and her training methods. She has quickly mastered nearly all of the basic obedience commands Sue had taught us. Sue has been very flexible with scheduling the weekly sessions, and is always available to answer questions if they should arise. We also love the free puppy socialization play dates that Sue and her husband offer at their home. We have recommended Sue to everyone who has asked us about puppy or dog training.”
