Same Results, More Connection


For years, we offered this proven board and train program in person, working hands-on with dogs of all breeds and behavior challenges. To help even more owners and dogs, we’ve transitioned this program online, bringing you the same expert system with even greater benefits.

Instead of sending your dog away to a facility, you’ll now train them right at home, where they learn best. This approach not only creates real transformation, but it also helps you build a stronger bond with your dog from the start. ✨

This isn’t just another training course. It’s a step-by-step, structured program that has already transformed 100+ dogs. Now, you get the same results-driven system with the flexibility, support, and convenience of training at home.

What Other Dog Owners Are Saying

Chewie 🐾

"Working with Susan was truly life changing, not just for Chewie but for our whole family. She didn' just train our dog, she guided us in changing our own interactions with him, helping us establish a healthier, more balanced relationship. Thanks to her, Chewie now understands his place in our family pack, and we can include him in so many more aspects of our lives."

Frances 🐾

 "We went to the beach for a week and took Frances at 11 months old.  We were astonished at his amazing behavior with so many people and dogs walking by at the beach.  I say it all the time, Why invest so much time and energy into a pet and not teach them to behave?"

Sammy 🐾

"Thanks to Susan, Sammy had the tools he needed to navigate his fears. Instead of panicking, he observed from his crate and his dog bed in the place command, processing everything without stress... Now we are living a whole new life together. We go on off-leash hikes, play freely, and his goofy, fun-loving personality has truly blossomed. I can't thank Susan enough for giving both of us skills and confidence to enjoy life together

A little bit about your trainer


My name is Susan and I've had a connection to animals from a very young age.

I became a veterinary technician 10 years ago and it was through my work in the veterinary setting that I took a real interest in behavior. I quickly became known as the tech that enjoyed working with the more difficult patients, whether it be an extremely shy dog or an aggressive pet.

I wanted to take this gift that I have working with dogs with behavior issues and help not only clients of the veterinary hospital I worked at but the surrounding communities. This is why I created Pack Leader Dog Training.

Since creating this business, I have studied different techniques from various trainers to find which methods rang true with me and have come to love balanced training. Balanced training is using both rewards and punishments. I have developed my training programs to be individual in that it encompasses the WHOLE dog and is individually personalized to each dog and family.

My goal is to improve the relationship between dogs and their people, making for a more balanced dog and human. You CAN enjoy your dog.
