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.

Sue was awesome and helped us tremendously with our little girl. When we got her at just barely 3 months, she was an absolute demon, land shark, and of course as a puppy she had zero impulse control. With Sue’s help, we were able to watch her transform into a calm, obedient pup. It is so nice to be able to have people over/taking her places knowing that she has a strong base of commands and obedience.

Sue was wonderful to work with! She laid a great foundation for our extremely high energy Brittany puppy. She taught us a lot during our meeting as well. Our pup understands being in a command vs not and we know what we need to do to continue the work that she started. She was extremely communicative with us and sweet but stern with our puppy. Would recommend!

We are very pleased with Sue and her Calm Family Dog Training in home sessions. Our 2 Cocker Spaniels (11yrs and 2yrs) both were a bit of a challenge, 11yr old habits not easily broken and 2yr old had flight issues especially with strangers. During the 5 sessions we learned better ways to communicate expectations as well as correction techniques. Both dogs were very excited to train and very receptive. This may sound funny although they now have a Job!!! :)~ The training collar used by Sue provides both guidance and when needed correction to remind dogs expectations. Extremely impressed with Sue's processes and results from the training. What all need to understand is it requires humans to be on the same page and practice often, which is what we will continue to do.

Sue is amazing!! She helped us transform our 5 month old corgi puppy into a well behaved girl! She was too smart for us so we knew we needed a professional!! She taught Jude how to respect boundaries and have a respectful calm attitude. We will definitely be having her work with our other 2 dogs!!

Our Texas Blue Lacy, Bluedreaux, is smart, full of energy, and lots of fun, but also lots of work. Sue gave us solid strategies for helping Blue to settle and follow commands. She is also great at "training the handler" -- we probably needed as much training as Blue - or more. …Read full reviewClose full review

Our Texas Blue Lacy, Bluedreaux, is smart, full of energy, and lots of fun, but also lots of work. Sue gave us solid strategies for helping Blue to settle and follow commands. She is also great at "training the handler" -- we probably needed as much training as Blue - or more. We're grateful for Sue's calm and patient instruction. We'd recommend her to anyone with a high-energy, nervous dog like our Blue.
