FirstBarkWe enrolled our Pug in the Puppy course and had a great time. We learned a lot from Susan and our Pug was able to socialize with several other dogs. Very nice space. Lots of room to work and play.

We love going to agility class at Paws 4 Fun. It's a great workout for both me and my dog. Thanks Susan for all your work in helping us to become better handlers for our dogs. I would highly recommend Paws 4 Fun!

Paws 4 Fun has been exactly what the doctor ordered (literally vet recommended) for our high drive Australian Shepherd. We look forward to our weekly training and Susan has been wonderful in finding what works best for our girl during training. She understands that what works for one pup may not work the same for the next. Our Liberty (pup) is so excited to see her every week, if I had more free time I would go twice a week. Highly recommend for any dogs that might need a bit of obedience and or structure or a job to do!

Susan worked with our shepard-mix dog as one of our last trainers. Our dog was very reactive and Susan had great patience with Molly. Unfortunately, by the end of our training block, Molly had not been able to get her reactivity under control. Susan felt that Molly had more anxiety than reactivity and suggested we talk with our vet about getting Molly on some anti-anxiety meds. We did that and Molly has shown wonderful progress in controlling her emotions. She's become a true pleasure to walk and is the sweetest snuggler we ever had. We firmly believe we had a most successful training experience with Susan!
Susan didn’t only give us a great experience but provided insight and guidance through the puppy trenches. She showed us what steps to take and where to start to create a kind loving and gentle dog for our family and these training corses helped our big boy so much. Overall a great experience!
