Susan and team provided an excellent experience. We went in for Puppy Kindergarten when our pup was 9 weeks old and took home solid foundational tips for encouraging the behaviors we want to see. Also a great opportunity to socialize your pup with other dogs before they receive their final vaccine. Easily worth the money, and we are already enrolled for the Middle School course.

Reviews
Susan is an experienced trainer holding small classes in her Wallingford space. We enjoyed our puppy training and playtime! We learned to train her with positive reinforcement and the techniques have worked well with our doggie.
As a first time pup/dog owner I was so happy my vet recommended Paws4Training. It offered a great start for basic training, socialization and also understanding your dog's behavior. Susan is an excellent teacher and is very knowledgeable on dogs, their behavior, and how to train effectively. Not to mention my pup loved it and got to play with other puppies and exert all that puppy energy (making for a nice quiet evening afterwards). Definitely recommend Puppy Kindergarten for all new puppy owners.
