“When I first brought Auggie home, he was fearful - even afraid of water. After some dedicated training with Susan he’s been totally transformed. He listens to commands, is sociable, and even loves to swim!”

“Proud mom here....Tucker's training has been going great overall. Come, sit, wait, settle, down and walking on leash when there's no dogs around. The only thing I struggled with is he wanted to jump and lunge at other dogs when we were too close. This was particularly challenging given Tucker's size and strength and given my lack of size and strength...ugh. But Susan came to the rescue. Although we had been doing walks every once in a while I realized he needed more...so he went to Susan's for a week of board and train and she specifically worked on him being around other dogs and learning to walk past them without reacting. And it was a complete success!!! I have walked him along the river, past lots of dogs. He looks at the dog, I say leave it, he looks at me, I give him a high value treat and we keep walking. I have done this 4 times in the last week and each day and each time a complete success!! So proud of my boy and so great full for the help from Susan.”
