If you have a new puppy and/or older dog with a few annoying habits, Susan’s skills are invaluable. Starting with the basic commands (come, sit, down, stay, stop, leave-it) prepares your dog or puppy to be an enjoyable, well rounded family member. Positive reinforcement is the most valuable tool employed, the key being that the dog enjoys the training process and wants to repeat good behavior. Training sessions include:

​

• Working with dog(s) and family members in your home

• Taking the dog(s) to play and train with other dogs in action

• Training on basic commands both with and without distractions, one on one

• Training outings to public places where the dog learns how to properly interact with people, animals and objects that they are unfamiliar with
