PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Susan started pupDOGS Training in 2009 after 20 years of educating children.  She combined her passion for training animals with her knowledge of human learning.  Although her title is Dog Trainer, it is her ability to educate the species at both ends of the leash that sets her apart from the competition.
