Sue is a fantastic trainer. My German Shepherd Dog is 51/2 months old and has already learnt a lot from the puppy classes. Sue's classes are well structured and very educational for the puppy and most importantly for the owner. The instructions given were very clear and Sue explained every step bit by bit and gave reasons why the pupy and owner should do things the way we were shown. To start with my puppy was very shy but by the end of the course he is a very sociable and happy puppy. I had a few problems with getting the puppy to walk to heel and to stop pulling and Sue was more than happy to take the time to visit me and show me what I was doing wrong and how to correct it. After one lesson the puppy and I improved no end. Sue also gives great advice on types of food etc... If I ever get another puppy I would definately go to Sue and I tell anyone who asks where good puppy classes are held.Sue is also great fun and very easy to get on with. Well done Sue. Keep up the brilliant work. Oona F

Sue was very friendly and excellent at her training. We thoroughly enjoyed the dog training and would highly recommend her as we already have. Sue was very good on the advice and training.

I have just completed a 6 week dog training course. I had just got my dog from the Dogs Trust and she is 2 years old. Sue runs a course for older dogs (older than puppies) and we went off to the training session to find Sue who is knowledgeable, inspirational, and encouraging. Sue made the 6 week course enjoyable, and even when I struggled with understanding in class Sue took the time to make sure I understood it fully, so I could continue the training at home. Even those that have problems with their dogs other than basic training Sue helped. Time was never an issue. I cannot recommend Sue enough. The course is good value for money and its has been a great 6 weeks. I will miss my Wednesday evening training session. Thanks for everything Sue.
