FirstBarkSue was amazing!! We had just gotten our new poodle puppy and had so many questions on the right steps for getting him properly trained. She taught us how to teach our puppy firmly what we want him to do. We are now able to take him on walks and how to be calm in public. She's also super friendly and easy to work with. I cannot recommend Sue enough, she is the best!

About Calm Family Dog Training
WELCOME TO CALM FAMILY DOG TRAINING . MY NAME IS SUSAN COLE AND I AM THE OWNER AND HEAD TRAINER. Does your dog drive you crazy? Does he pull on the leash and drag you down the street? Does he sniff and mark everything in sight? Does he beg at the table and get underfoot in the kitchen? Does he steal food off the counter? Does your dog bark at and jump on visitors? Does your dog get left at home because you cannot fathom bringing him with you? I can totally relate, I have been there myself. There is hope, I can help. You can have a Calm, Family Dog in this busy, crazy world.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sue at Calm Family Dog, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. Sue helped my 6 month old Poodle, August, become a well behaved boy. Throughout the training process, Sue maintained clear communication, ensuring I understood each technique and why it was beneficial for my dog. She also provided valuable guidance on reinforcing training at home, which has been instrumental in maintaining our progress. Thanks to Sue’s expertise and dedication, my dog has made remarkable strides in obedience and behavior. What was once a challenge has now become a rewarding experience for both me and my dog. I highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and & affective dog training.
Thank you, Sue, for returning my call in a timely manner and for giving me very practical advice for handling my pup's fear issue. I appreciate how friendly and clear you were with your information. I feel very confident going forward with his training and reassured to have you as a resource should i need further assistance.
Started my 8 week old puppy with Susan at Calm Family Dog and she was extremely helpful! One session and she had my puppy going to his “place”. It’s hard work raising a puppy and Susan made the process understandable and much easier. Highly recommend
Sue did a great job with our colllie puppy- Livvy She came to our home once a week and worked with her for an hour for 5 weeks. She got results so quickly . She gave us the knowledge and tools to continue to work with Livvy. A well behaved dog makes for happier owners and a happier dog. I can confidently recommend her services to other dog owners.
