About Calm Family Dog Training

WELCOME TO CALM FAMILY DOG TRAINING . MY NAME IS SUSAN COLE AND I AM THE OWNER AND HEAD TRAINER. Does your dog drive you crazy? Does he pull on the leash and drag you down the street? Does he sniff and mark everything in sight? Does he beg at the table and get underfoot in the kitchen? Does he steal food off the counter? Does your dog bark at and jump on visitors? Does your dog get left at home because you cannot fathom bringing him with you? I can totally relate, I have been there myself. There is hope, I can help. You can have a Calm, Family Dog in this busy, crazy world.

Ms Sue is amazing - her calm demeanor and authenticity is what I loved most working with her. My sweet cute miniature schnauzer puppy turned into a rebellious 1 year old that ate everything, didn’t listen or obey. We had tried other trainers and methods as a puppy that did not work and ended up at the ER the night of Christmas Eve due to eating Christmas decorations. Luckily no surgery was needed but something had the change. Then I found Ms Sue and her easy, fun and loving training methods worked for my Sweet Ned. I choose the at private home training and what a difference it made. He is not perfect yet but he’s come a long way in 6 weeks. He listens and obeys and is able to be the sweetest companion to me. Ms Sue does miracles- not really but she does know how to communicate with dogs and I for one trust her with my Sweet Ned. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Look at this relaxed pup! Sue is magic. She brings this kind energy into your home, whispers confidence-building ideas into your dog's ear, and gives you concrete and simple tools to help develop the potential in your dog. We had become frustrated with some specific behaviors Otis was showing us - all fixable and yet frustrating, in need of change. We now have the tools to help our sweet boy shine. Sue is encouraging, explains her rationale for her commands, and uses positive reinforcement with Otis - nothing punitive here. He learned the PLACE command in under five minutes and that has been a life-saver for our family. If you are willing to PRACTICE what she's laying on you, you will see a huge difference. Thanks, Sue, for your kindness and expertise!

Sue was absolutely amazing! She helped me and my boyfriend get through to our ten month old German Shepard Gojo. He was counter surfing, pulling on the leash and just being a stubborn Shepard. He is now doing so much better. We are continuing to work with him every day and can’t wait to work with sue more in the future!

My family has 2 Golden Retrievers (8yr old male and 5yr old female). Sue came to our house for our training sessions and they seemed to really take to her. I was a bit unsure given their ages if they would listen and if lessons would stick but I have definitely seen an improvement. Highly recommend!

The work that Susan did with our pup in a week has made a great difference. There is still some work that needs to be done on our end on a daily basis to reinforce the training but Susan gave us all the tools and knowledge as well as laid out the groundwork for us to make our pup the perfect companion for our family. I would recommend her to any family who doesn’t have the time to get their dog where they need to be. Thank you again for helping our pup.
