Paw Paws Canine College

I cannot say enough good things about Sue Clauss, and the services she provides. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional in working with my dog and I. I took our 4 month old Greater Swiss Mountain pup to her last May... (with my knowing NOTHING about how to train a dog). Three weeks later we picked up our pup and I was amazed at how much she had learned and mastered in that time frame. The real challenge for Sue was that she now had to train ME. I have learned so much from her and am still leaning today. Sue walks the talk when it comes to having the dog and the owner achieve success. Sue has met me at our local grocery store parking lot and our Tractor Supply store to work on socialization issues. She has come to our home to work with us. She is straight forward in her approach, with both my dog and myself, ( a value I appreciate). Today, I have a wonderful companion in my dog. She is an obedient and respectful member of our family, thanks to Sue. I now use a collar and leash only when in public, thanks to the training my dog and I both have received. I also Board my dog with Sue. While there are boarding places closer to my home, I want the best for our dog when I am away, so I go out of my way to take our dog to Sue, as I know that she is very well cared for there. I highly recommend Sue Clauss and her training program for any dog and any person that is willing to put in the time to learn what Sue can teach them. Thanks Sue for all you do, I am truly grateful.

Sue has trained several dogs for me over the course of almost 30 years. She is the absolute best person for training your dog and for training you, with a lesson when you pick up the dog and with follow up lessons, if needed, to take care of your trained dog. Dogs love her and respond well to her technique. She is readily available to answer questions and provide advice when you run into issues. I have never had a doggie issue that she could not help me fix. And, I have had lots of doggie issues over the years; housebreaking, chewing, barking, etc. I admit, most of the issues were from me not following her advice to the smallest detail. I used to board my animals with her until I moved to another state. I have never had one animal that did not get excited to see her when I got near her business. My dogs Gini, a Border Collie mix, and Quincy, a Pomeranian, are the best dogs in the whole world. They are sweet, loving, ornery, and sometimes bossy. But, they are also very obedient and I can take them anywhere without worrying about doggie issues. Sue is also a great humanitarian - she rescues animals and places them in homes that are a good fit for the animal as well as the owner. She has helped me truly enjoy the relationships I have had with my dogs. Now that I know the joy a trained dog brings, I would not live with one that was untrained. So, I hope she stays in business the rest of my days. Even though I live in Arizona, now, If and when I need another dog trained, she will be my go to trainer. Thank GOD animals can fly on planes!!

My 13 year old dog, Maggie, is such a well behaved dog. Love it that when I get invited to a friends house, she's always included. Her manners are almost perfect and I owe it all to Sue Clauss at Paw Paws Canine College in Slanesville, W VA. Maggie had obedience training and then post grad classes in off leash training from Sue, and I couldn't ask for a better dog. Sue's been on my mind a lot lately because I'm taking care of a 6 mth old pup that acts like it's on drugs. Hyper active, mischievous but cute. I can't even take him for a walk he misbehaves so badly. Maggie was like that once. I keep thinking about how much he could learn at PAWPAWS Canine College, but now I'm too far away to recommend him to her owner. Too bad. Sue always puts the animals first and trains them with kindness. I hope she knows how much she's appreciated. Sue's whole life has been devoted not just to dog training and kenneling, but also to rescue animals, caring for them, healing them and loving them. She's terrific! Thank you Sue.
