Lager and I enjoyed our training time with Susan! His understanding of commands and response was very quick. We adopted him and did not know if had had any training previously, but it became obvious he had! And he loved Susan! Well worth the hour trip each way. We look forward to taking more classes.

Great to have an option for private lessons during the day. Not even sure how it happened but my puppy really enjoyed the teeter without much stress. I’ve struggled with other dogs being confident but Josey had no hesitation and would approach on her own.

It's very evident Susan does what she does because of her genuine love of dogs! She is committed to helping owners develop the tools to be successful leaders. She is calm, patient, encouraging and just the nicest person. Susan brings years of experience and knowledge as a dog owner, animal lover and trainer to her Paws 4 Fun training center.
