Erin is the absolute best. She trained Oso when he was just a little puppers and she recently came back when he’s about 10 days shy of his 14th birthday to help train him to use the mesh screen door for my patio to let himself out to go to the bathroom. She has an easygoing demeanor when it comes to training, provides clear instructions, explains everything and repeats herself when you need her to, and is overall just an amazing resource. I send all my friends and colleagues to her when they ask for a dog trainer.

We had such a great experience with Erin! Our situation involved introducing 2 newly adopted young cats ( 6 and 10 months old ) to our 13 year old high prey drive dog. Our cat of 18 years had recently passed away and our hope was introducing the new cats would be somewhat smooth considering the cohabitation of over a decade but it proved more challenging than we had imagined. Erin is calm and cool and slipped in easily. All the pets loved her and adjusted to her presence quickly. Erin gave us expert advice and helped us to get past the road blocks we were encountering. She had great suggestions to reframe our intros through different exercises that really moded the needle forward. It was super valuable having her keen eyes watching all the animals body language and also we humans. Getting that feedback in the moment was super helpful. Also, great having another set of hands if needed to wrangle the kids! Thanks so much Erin! The kids say hi!

We have had an AMAZING experience working with Suzanne! Our pup Leo is very nervous and anxious, but we can already see the difference that training is having on her confidence. We can't say enough good things, and look forward to jumping into level 2! I highly recommend this dog training for anyone in the area looking for training using positive reinforcement (which should be every dog owner!)

I cannot say enough amazing things about Erin! We are so happy that we decided to go to Woof for our puppy training, she did an amazing job helping us to learn the basics of dog obedience. Our dog came out of puppy class knowing everything you would want your dog to know (sit, stay, down, place, come, etc. etc.) and more. We use what we learned in class with him every day, we're so grateful for her knowledge. Training is more fun for him because he can be successful and because when he disobeys we can redirect his behavior to one that we want. Erin is so good with dogs, she is so in tune with their behavior. No matter the situation we encountered we would bring it to class that week and Erin would have a recommendation for us that worked, she was integral in helping us through the first few months of being a dog parent. Woof! training with Erin is a MUST!

Both Erin and her partner were so knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. My puppy Benji loved coming to class and they helped him so much with socialization. Took the time to answer all questions and met everyone+dogs where they were. We’d love to stay but are moving to LA! We will miss our weekly puppy classes.
