Wagging Willow

I loved working with Susan from start to finish. She came highly recommended by a friend who had also recently rescued a pup. Susan is very in touch with the special issues facing pups and their parents in rescue situations, which was important to me when choosing a trainer.
Frankie was already 6 months old when we got her so training got started just a little bit late, but you would never know it. Susan was supportive and positive every week. She gave us helpful homework assignments that kept us motivated and honest about practicing, and she adapted weekly plans based on actual issues we were seeing with Frankie.
We are first time dog parents, so this training was as much for us as it was for Frankie. We now have great communication with her and are able to build on what we learned. I look forward to advanced training with Susan!

It takes an A+ instructor like Susan to produce a well trained dog.
She is amazing at what she does.
Susan truly loves what she does and it shows in her training methods.
Susan, you are a true dog whisperer. I am always amazed at each training class how you handle Kahlua and how responsive she is to your teaching methods .
Now that Kahlua has graduated puppy training we can’t wait to see what else she will learn and we are looking forward to our next class with you.

I would recommend Susan and Wagging Willow to anyone who is looking for positive reinforcement dog training. Susan has an extremely strong passion for dogs, and will do whatever it takes to cater her training specifically towards your pet. She uses creative ways to work with your dog in a comfortable training facility. Finding Susan was the best possible move we could have made for our french bulldog.

I truly cannot say enough about Susan and how much she has helped me with my high maintenance pooch. She has helped our relationship with Artie improve and grow, based on a relationship of communication and guidance. I feel so confident that Artie will continue to learn and listen to us, with Susan’s help. She is a great resource of an array of information on canine communication and ways to understand each other better, in a non-​aggressive, positive environment. I would recommend Wagging Willow a thousand times over. Thank you Susan!
