Amazing- anyone struggling with their dog should bring them here. We brought our dog to Sue maybe three/four years ago as a last resort. Our sweet dog was getting intolerable as she grew older and stronger. Sue taught many wonderful things (including “place” which saves the poor mail man) and now that our dog is 5 years old and we have a 4 month old puppy, we will definitely be sending our new pup to Sue for the same training. Thank you Sue for teaching Bear (and us) so well! See you soon for the next pup.

I had adopted a small dog that had experienced some sort of trauma. The advice we were given with our short training visit paid off. She also counseled patience with the dog and that we have understanding that her whole world had changed and she was simply not certain of anything. Her routines were disrupted and she had no certainty of her place in the social order. So, we gave her some room while establishing routines that were more in her comfort zone.Now, that little dog is very sure of herself and honestly one of the best dogs I ever adopted. Thanks Jenny!

I cannot recommend Paw Paws Canine College enough! I took my 11 month golden retriever to Jenny and Sue for the board training program. After three weeks with them, my dog was incredibly well behaved. After the initial board train, we went back every month for the follow individual sessions which were enormously helpful for advanced skills. People are always commenting on how well behaved she is. She can be in a long down stay, courtesy when guests come to the door, great on leash, and we're continuing to work on off leash skills. All of this is because of Jenny and Sue. My dog also loved them and was so excited every time we pulled into the driveway.If you're looking for great trainers for your pup, look no further than Paw Paws!

Such an excellent investment made for my dog and myself. My goldendoodle puppy is noticeably better behaved as a result of the training he received at Paw Paws Canine College. Jenny not only provided the initial training, but also provided training to continue on with to strengthen and advance the skills learned. Jenny took wonderful care of my dog while he was with her. I appreciated her professionalism, communication, and expertise for dog training. I would not hesitate to recommend Paw Paws Canine College.

Sue has trained several dogs for me over the course of almost 30 years. She is the absolute best person for training your dog and for training you, with a lesson when you pick up the dog and with follow up lessons, if needed, to take care of your trained dog. Dogs love her and respond well to her technique. She is readily available to answer questions and provide advice when you run into issues. I have never had a doggie issue that she could not help me fix. And, I have had lots of doggie issues over the years; housebreaking, chewing, barking, etc. I admit, most of the issues were from me not following her advice to the smallest detail.I used to board my animals with her until I moved to another state. I have never had one animal that did not get excited to see her when I got near her business. My dogs Gini, a Border Collie mix, and Quincy, a Pomeranian, are the best dogs in the whole world. They are sweet, loving, ornery, and sometimes bossy. But, they are also very obedient and I can take them anywhere without worrying about doggie issues.Sue is also a great humanitarian - she rescues animals and places them in homes that are a good fit for the animal as well as the owner.She has helped me truly enjoy the relationships I have had with my dogs. Now that I know the joy a trained dog brings, I would not live with one that was untrained. So, I hope she stays in business the rest of my days. Even though I live in Arizona, now, If and when I need another dog trained, she will be my go to trainer. Thank GOD animals can fly on planes!!

I will be writing updated review in about a month or less, after my precious 'Spirit' Graduates. But for now, talking with these women gave me such good vibes towards their animals, that I'm trusting to leave my little one there for several weeks, despite my own anxiety separation issues!🐕🐾🐾❤I already highly recommend Paw Paws Canine College.

Sue is very knowledgeable and professional. She is dedicated to her clients and works to ensure that both pet and the “pet’s family” are comfortable and understanding of her training program. My dogs Daiseymae and Dakotah love going there and are always excited to see Sue! I know when I leave my dogs in her care that they could not be in safer or more capable hands.

I cannot say enough good things about Sue Clauss, and the services she provides. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional in working with my dog and I. I took our 4 month old Greater Swiss Mountain pup to her last May... (with my knowing NOTHING about how to train a dog). Three weeks later we picked up our pup and I was amazed at how much she had learned and mastered in that time frame. The real challenge for Sue was that she now had to train ME. I have learned so much from her and am still leaning today. Sue walks the talk when it comes to having the dog and the owner achieve success. Sue has met me at our local grocery store parking lot and our Tractor Supply store to work on socialization issues. She has come to our home to work with us. She is straight forward in her approach, with both my dog and myself, ( a value I appreciate). Today, I have a wonderful companion in my dog. She is an obedient and respectful member of our family, thanks to Sue. I now use a collar and leash only when in public, thanks to the training my dog and I both have received. I also Board my dog with Sue. While there are boarding places closer to my home, I want the best for our dog when I am away, so I go out of my way to take our dog to Sue, as I know that she is very well cared for there. I highly recommend Sue Clauss and her training program for any dog and any person that is willing to put in the time to learn what Sue can teach them. Thanks Sue for all you do, I am truly grateful.

My 13 year old dog, Maggie, is such a well behaved dog. Love it that when I get invited to a friends house, she's always included. Her manners are almost perfect and I owe it all to Sue Clauss at Paw Paws Canine College in Slanesville, W VA. Maggie had obedience training and then post grad classes in off leash training from Sue, and I couldn't ask for a better dog. Sue's been on my mind a lot lately because I'm taking care of a 6 mth old pup that acts like it's on drugs. Hyper active, mischievous but cute. I can't even take him for a walk he misbehaves so badly. Maggie was like that once. I keep thinking about how much he could learn at PAWPAWS Canine College, but now I'm too far away to recommend him to her owner. Too bad. Sue always puts the animals first and trains them with kindness. I hope she knows how much she's appreciated. Sue's whole life has been devoted not just to dog training and kenneling, but also to rescue animals, caring for them, healing them and loving them. She's terrific! Thank you Sue.

Save your money. I don’t understand how you can claim to be a dog trainer and then return a dog who behaves worse than before training. At least my dog would come before training and now when given a “Here” command she runs in the opposite direction. Find someone else if you are looking.

Jenny and Sue love your dog as much as you do and they teach your fur baby self control and self regulation. They will remain my training partners!!
