Susan Isaacs

We found Susan to be very knowledgeable, friendly and adaptable. She is good with people and with dogs. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a high-quality dog trainer.

Susan has been wonderful to work with our (now 3 mo old) puppy couldn't love her enough! being able to speak with Susan between our sessions is a unique perk I've never heard of other trainers offering, being able to check with her about how to handle new behaviors our puppy shows is beyond helpful and ensures we continue to guide our pup in the right direction and don't let bad habits stick before our next scheduled in person session.
Her method of positive - not exclusively food driven - reinforcement is something we wanted and she does not falter on this either.

Susan is a terrific trainer. She has been working with our 11 week old collie puppy and he has benefited greatly. She is both excellent with pups and adults alike. Her private sessions are very informative and she follows up with emails reviewing the activities introduced during the training sessions. In addition she is a great resource for dog toys, dog food etc. We highly recommend her.

"Gus" our 80 pound chocolate lab was a nightmare to walk, pulling and uncontrollable. Susan returned my call in less than 10 mins and we were able to schedule an evaluation.
Susan was on time, detail oriented and straight forward.
After a short conversation and answering some questions about Gus' we got straight to work.

I'll spare you the specifics but I'm not exaggerating when I say later that evening we were walking a different dog.

I cannot recommend Susan enough and we are so excited to enjoy walking our dog again.

Susan is absolutely wonderful. She helped me build a language with which I could use to help train my sweet shih tzu. Susan is always easy to schedule with, and was very respectful with COVID guidelines. I cannot recommend her enough with training a puppy. She uses positive reinforcement and helps ensure that the owner (me) stays consistent with training!

Susan is great - can't recommend her enough. My boyfriend and I had a "foster failure" situation with a German Shepherd puppy, and we really wanted her to be well-trained (especially because we have a cat, and I didn't have any prior experience training a puppy).

We reached out to a few trainers, and we're so glad we went with Susan - she's a great teacher (both for humans & dogs). Our puppy loves the training sessions. Since working with Susan, I feel so much more comfortable and confident communicating with our dog. Reading and watching videos doesn't compare at all to working with a trainer - she catches things you wouldn't think to google. Susan has also been extremely helpful recommending gear. Highly recommended!
