Susan has been training all breeds of dogs professionally since 2003. She believes that patience and consistency go a long way when training dogs and their owners. She is excited to be able to share her knowledge of the "dog world" with her students at Camp Canine.

Susan strives to be "in the know" when it comes to modern techniques in dog training. She enjoys attending local seminars and spending time at the local dog park watching dog behavior, she says "Watching a dog's body language can tell you alot about what a dog is thinking." Susan believes that taking the time to train your dog is the best way help reduce the number of dogs surrendered to shelters.
