Susan is an absolutely phenomenal trainer! Her puppy kindergarten not only gave our puppy the socialization she needed to play well with other dogs but also taught us as owners invaluable tips and techniques on how to raise the best version of our dog. My wife and I left every class with insight that we felt confident practicing at home to improve our puppy's behavior and to instill good habits early. Susan is patient, communicates incredibly clearly, and gives personal attention to everyone regardless of how many people are in class that day. She is also wonderful to work with in scheduling sessions and answering questions. I can't recommend her and the Paws4Training programs highly enough!!

Susan is an excellent teacher! Our Australian Cattle pup had a late start and was feeling very shy, but Susan made sure to take it slow and our puppy went from shy and fearful to playful and eager to engage throughout the class. We were so proud when she played with all the other puppies during our final class! :) Susan was also always glad to answer questions and responsive. Thank you, Susan!

We did puppy kindergarten here and we all (both humans and dog) loved it ! Susan has been great to work with and learn from - lots of opportunities for both education and play.

The Kindergarten class was excellent! Susan is a wonderful instructor and you and your puppy benefit so much from the information she gives you and teaches you. The socialization with other puppies was valuable and Susan makes sure to segregate puppies according to size and personality. I would not hesitate to take more classes from her. Well worth it!
