![]() ![]() I relied on any and all reviews I could find to make a decision. I found Calm Family Dog Training and did major research. We definitely recommend Calm Family Dog Training to anyone considering it! Sue was honest that it will take continuous practice for Penny but she would answer any questions we may come across. This also allows for us and our guests to be able to easily converse. We also had trouble with her jumping to greet visitors, but now she will stay on her cot which allows our guests to approach and greet her. We can get chores done around the house without her under our feet and we can all walk her independently or with our smaller dog. Now she is just as sweet and playful, but in a much more controlled manner. So much that I couldn't walk her and our other (smaller) dog at once and our son couldn't walk Penny at all as she was too much to handle. Sue has this incredible, calm aura and Penny seemed to love her! Penny would knock my son and I down as she naturally has a playful and rambunctious attitude. We had a wonderful experience with Sue and her Stay and Train Session for our dog, Penny. Sue posts videos and pictures each day during the training so you can follow your dogs progress, which was awesome to see. ![]() Also, Sue does use a prong collar (and an eCollar if you do the 2 week board and train) along with positive reinforcement, so make sure you are ok with those methods of training. We've had him back for about a week and a half now, and it's been a noticeable change from day 1 until now with how less often we have to redirect him. ![]() Of course, he's still a puppy and tries to see what he can get away with-it's not fool proof, so make sure your expectations are in line with reality and that you're willing to follow up with what Sue teaches. We can put Riggs on his place bed and he stays there! No more going to look for him every 30 seconds to see what he's gotten into when I'm trying to get ready for work or cook dinner. Probably the biggest game changer though was the "place" command. That week with Sue gave us everything we needed! Riggs walks so well on a leash now, waits at all doors, including his crate, and waits for his food. Also, any second we weren't watching, he was taking things off counters or anything else he wasn't supposed to have. He is overall a fairly calm puppy, but needed basic manners. We took our 6 month old golden, Riggs, to Sue for the 1 week puppy board and train. I HIGHLY recommend Calm Family Dog training to anyone! She is the sweetest lady and really cares about the dogs and getting them the best trained they can be. I trusted her with my most prized possession, and I wouldn't trade my decision for anything. Throughout the stay she kept me up-to-date with Maui's progress via pictures and videos. Sue explained everything I needed to know, very in depth, and allowed me to ask questions and interact virtually. Because of COVID-19, Sue and I had to do a virtual return lesson with Maui. I work with her every day and follow the at-home guidelines that Sue provides. Everything that Sue taught her during the program has easily been transferred over to at home with me. She still had her lovable and playful personality, but she was so much more obedient and well behaved. The main areas were: leash pulling, walking, jumping on people, and listening to commands. Maui was already a good dog, but she came back even better. Sue of Calm Family Dog training was EXCELLENT with my Mini Aussie, Maui. I’m excited to have a dog that will fit into our family dynamic well and not be a struggle every minute. I know if we have issues come up now that our puppy is home, Sue will help us work through them. He already seems to be a calmer, happier dog and we are a calmer, happier house for it! I would (and do) recommend Calm Family Dog Training to my friends. It was great to see Sue post pictures and video updates of our puppy’s progress throughout the week because it gave us insight into her process and what we could expect when he came home. If you can get a corgi puppy to resist the urge to herd his kids, that’s major! Sue gave us some tips for issues that arose before his week at “puppy camp” came, which I really appreciated. We just brought our 4 month old corgi puppy home after his week with Sue and he just held “place” for over an hour In our crazy house with wild running children, so I’d call that a total success. ![]() This is our second time working with Sue, and our first time doing her Puppy Basics Jump Start program. ![]()
