Fellowship of the Paws Dog Training

Sue has done the most amazing job increasing my greyhound’s confidence through her classes. She was such an anxious dog in new places and now she’s so great at focusing on me and being brave. Thank you sue!

We got our first Greyhound and weren't sure what to expect or what to do. Sue was absolutely fantastic! We went to her Greyhound class and gained not just skills but an understanding of Greyhounds and why they behave the way they do. Could not speak more highly of the professional way Sue took us on our journey!

Our greyhound Rocky is an exuberant boy with a love for life! BUTTTT he was very unpredictable on walks in particular when small dogs would walk past, and there would be pulling and jumping which was made so difficult because he is 36kgs of muscle. We did the reduce reactivity and loose lead walking course through Sue and implemented what we learnt everyday. Nowadays it's like walking a different dog!! He walks by our side, knows how to leave it" including ignoring other dogs

We could not recommend Sue more highly!!! We got in touch late last year for some walk and train lessons for our 2-year-old blue cattle dog, Storm. Our desire for some structured walks was twofold; we were going to be overseas for a few months and wanted to provide our dog-sitter some reprieve, and also we were still dealing with ongoing leash reactivity in Storm, despite having paid another company $$$ for a board and train package in 2021. Sue was warm and confident in our initial consult, asking lots of questions to make sure she really understood where Storm was at, and what our goals were. Even though we were away overseas, Sue always endeavoured through detailed feedback about each of Storm’s lessons, accompanied by photos and videos. In what felt like no time at all, the results spoke for themselves! Sue also worked with our house-sitter to ensure that he was using the same approaches and techniques, to provide consistency for Storm. A few months later, it’s like walking a different dog. Storm is calmer, more responsive and in control of himself, and in turn, we are much more relaxed when we walk him. We are so thrilled with the progress Storm has made, and ever so grateful to Sue.

Can not rave about Sue enough. I have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, one is still a puppy. Little Makenna is a delight and I adore her but needed some assistance with training and redirecting her enthusiasm. Like a lot of puppies and particularly large breed, Makenna was terrible on lead and I had no hope of being able to build up to a reliable recall without some help. Puppy preschool and regular obedience just wasn’t working for Makenna. I tried everything I knew, and then reached out to Sue. Lifesaver! And Sue knew what to do right away. What I really appreciate about Sue is her patience with both my puppy and me. Talking me through what she was working on with Makenna, so I can continue the work and be consistent. Makenna is so good on lead and has an amazing recall at 8 months old, I am so happy with our results. We are continuing our Walk and Trains with Sue, and I highly recommend this to anyone who wants their dog to be their best selves

The Fellowship of the Paws is our first choice for dog training and pet sitting. We have a retired greyhound who went through a few phases as he adjusted to pet life but now, thanks to Sue, he is a pleasure to take out and about (we even go to cafes together). We cannot recommend Sue more.

Sue has been an incredible help in training our 2 big dogs manners on leash as well as in our home. She has taught us effective techniques that we can implement now as well as with any future dogs. Sue is very professional and knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviour. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their four legged friends.

I cannot recommend Sue enough!Her lessons are always informative, easy-to-follow, productive, and most importantly, fun for you and your dog. I love the google drive training logs she provides so you can keep track of your pups progress, and get feedback from her between lessons.Sue is flexible with scheduling, realistic with your training goals/expectations and is super non-judgemental - which I LOVE.I highly recommend Sue for all your dog's training needs. She has helped myself, and my border collie Scout immensely with issues such as pulling on the lead, reactivity to other dogs, and teaching Scout how to just be 'calm'.Since starting training with Sue, the bond between myself and Scout is 10x better than it was. She is so much more engaged with me during walks and general day-to-day activities!I'm so glad I found Sue and will gladly continue to use her services :)
