FirstBark100% recommend Paws 4 Fun. I took my Akita/Elkhound dog and Grandkids. Susan was great and took extra time to include all 3 kids in her training. Oldest child was 10. Classes were fun, she gave us great tips and I felt prices were very reasonable. I love that Susan offered private classes. Our dog is a farm dog and it was much less stressful for the kids, Susan and myself!

Susan taught us so many skills when we attended her class for Reactive dogs. Don’t give up on your pup- she can help you! She is anything but withholding when it comes to her advice, resources and, years of experience. My unsolicited advice: Start your dog with training early. Pay the money, make the scheduling work and, INVEST in your pet and yourself. Let Susan teach YOU and your dog the skills that will give you peace of mind, success and a long happy life with your 4 legged family member.
Ivy had a lot of fun doing Agility training and Susan is very knowledgeable and patient while learning the obstacle courses.
Ricky and I love training with Susan. The half hour private session is reasonably priced. A little physical and a little mental fitness helps me and my dog as we get older.
Susan is an amazing teacher, we went from not following rules (trouble maker) pulling the leash to walking beside me without leash during long walks. Thanks Susan you are awesome.
