Dog Training - Sue Battel

Dog Training - Sue Battel I am a valued member of Pampered Pet Sitting .My philosophy does not include dominance or submission. It focuses on developing RESPECT.

I have been a valued member of the VCA Maple Shade Animal Hospital for 18 years. My background as a certified behavioral therapist, along with many years working within the animal hospital, gives me a unique perspective on animal care. Twenty-five years ago I apprenticed under three different dog trainers over a course of five years. I have been involved in training search and rescue dogs, narcoti

cs and police dogs, and schutzhund training. I have even worked with a pure bred wolf for two years. During this time, I began to formulate my own programs based on my philosophy of RESPECT. My goal for you and your dog is not one that includes submission, fear or domination. Instead, I can help you forge a bond with your pet that most owners could only dream of having. Love, praise, patience and consistency are the hallmarks of my program and the keys to its success. Through a personalized program tailored towards your individual pet’s needs, I will teach you how to modify ANY behavioral issues your dog may be having to maximize their success. PROGRAMS OFFERED:

PRIVATE LESSONS- Our private training program is a personalized program designed for behavior modification, as well as a way to teach you how to reach the highest goals you have for your dogs. Some concerns are better dealt with on a one-on-one basis. We teach owners how to be comfortable with- and not embarrassed by- their dog’s behavior at a friend’s house, at home with company or out for a walk. What most owners don’t realize is that serious behavioral problems, such as fearfulness and aggression, CAN be dealt with, so we design our programs for those issues as well. In our private training sessions we set our clients and their best friends up for GREAT success!!! AGILITY DOG TRAINING- An advanced level of dog training designed to develop stronger communication levels between dog and owner while teaching both a higher level of teamwork. This eight week program will find your pet mastering dog walks, weave poles, tunnels and much more! Under the guidance of trainer Sue Battel, you will have the opportunity to spend quality time with your pet while channeling his or her behavior in a positive and fun-filled direction. CANINE GOOD CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE- Every owner wants to think that their well-trained dog is a good canine citizen. I can make sure your dog is ready to take the test and qualify for the AKC Canine Good Citizenship Certification. PUPPY CLASSES- Our puppy kindergarten classes are the perfect place to start if you are a first time dog owner or have not raised a puppy for several years. Your puppy will learn basic commands and you will learn helpful tips for housebreaking, chewing and biting. Puppies must be 8-10 weeks old and immunized with their first DHLPP booster. Classes are one hour each over a six week session. It’s the perfect opportunity for your puppy to learn good manners while socializing and playing. WHAT SETS US APART:

Our affiliation with a well- respected animal hospital
You work exclusively with one highly skilled trainer who designed the program- not with apprentices
Our training program is strictly “on leash” training. Your pets are too precious to risk having them hurt while following their instinct to chase a rabbit into traffic, etc. Training takes place in either our climate controlled indoor space or, weather permitting, our fully enclosed outdoor area. OUR PHILOSOPHY:

LET THEM BE DOGS
LET THEM LIVE LIFE AND ENJOY IT
YOU CAN NEVER LOVE A DOG TOO MUCH

Feel free to call us with any questions

It’s Tick season! We have been finding a lot of ticks on dogs in the past week. I know of two friends who recently found ticks on themselves from just doing yard work or sitting in their yard. They don’t live in woodsy areas and needed to get put on antibiotics as a result. Please make sure your pets are being treated for ticks, fleas and heartworm through your veterinarian and please be diligent in checking yourselves!! Happy Spring!!

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY....GETTING BALANCE BACK IN MY HOME.... Good morning. I have been wanting to share my personal journey with everyone for a while now but I have not been sure exactly how I wanted to do this post.
So here it is. So as I have shared with everyone about the loss of Cassie at the end of September i have not shared how this loss has impacted both me and the girls.
So on the morning of September 26th I woke up at 5: 30 in the morning and found my Cassie dead in my office. She looked like she was just laying there sleeping but as I called her name and she didn't respond i panicked and when I touched her she was cold and stiff.
So needless to say i had a complete meltdown and called my best friend who came over immediately. I went to sleep the night before around 9:00 and Cassie was fine. She ate dinner and we played a little. The belief is that she probably had a spleen mass that ruptured not long after i fell asleep and she passed quickly as they do with spleen masses.
Now CeCe and Hale were both exposed to her body all night and until I could get my neighbor to help me get her in my car at 7:00am. The girls were very very quiet when I woke up that morning and wouldn't walk into the room until we removed Cassie.
So between that trauma and the hiccup in my career i also had to leave the girls home from work for about 6 weeks. I have always raised my dogs to have a wonderful sence of independence but also take them to work with me as well.
So Hale was two and a half years old and CeCe was three and a half when all of this happened. I have always known that when a dog is exposed to the body of a housemate human or dog when they pass it impacts on them in a way that is horrible and can leave their humans feeling helpless. Well this is exactly what happened to me. So Hale has been on prozac since she was a year and a half due to her genetics of a bad breeding and the way she was man handled by her breeder.
CeCe has been an exceptional dog from day one however since Cassie passed away CeCe has been profoundly impacted in ways I with my behavior training alone couldn't help her. So I took her to the veterinarian and did blood work just to make sure it wasn't anything physical as i tell my clients to do with their dogs. CeCe has been exhibiting anxiety behavior like chewing on my carpet and going after my cat in a very not so nice way and having fights with Hale.
CeCe ended up with two puncture wounds in her neck and I had to make the decision to put CeCe on prozac as well . So with my continued behavior training and the medication the difference in CeCe and how much happier she is just amazes me!!
Hale and CeCe are now playing again. The relationship with CeCe and my cat has grown in ways that my mind is blown away!!! CeCe has had a decrease in her appetite which is common but her personality and fun loving self is back!! The year of 2024 was one of my most difficult years in SO many ways but as I always do i find a way to fight to get back to my calming loving kind way of living my life and having my balance back in my home is a big peace of life!! So please understand that all aspects of life can impact on your dogs life including ways you more than likely won't see.
Always reach out and ask for help because it will make such a difference in your life and the life of your best friend!! So this is a recent video of how beautiful the girls are doing. Sorry for the long post but I really wanted to share my personal journey as we are all equal and we all have to get support!! # POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT # LOVE MY CAREER # LOVE MY GIRLS # LOVE MY CLIENTS ❤️

It's Animal Cruelty Awareness Week 🐾🦊🕊️

Cruelty isn’t just physical abuse—it includes neglect, abandonment, and harm to domesticated animals and wildlife. If you see something, say something. We can become part of a kinder, more compassionate world for every living creature.

Let’s be their voice. 💙

MEET BENNY......REHABILITATING FEAR AND ABUSE....TRAINING WITH LOVE AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT....So this beautiful soul is Benny. I met him and his family and few weeks ago and we had our first lesson last week.
When we tried to do anything with Benny he completely shut down. We decided to just try and walk him around and help him feel safe and as we continued we added a little bit of the " Sit" command with an enormous amount of verbal and physical positive reinforcement.
I wanted to share Benny's story to give hope to anyone who rescues a dog especially with a history of abuse. There really is an APPROPRIATE way to teach ALL dogs without creating more fear or domanince.
I am SO honored to be on this life journey with Benny and his family and to be able to take the gift I was born with and help them save his soul! # POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT WITH LOVE # LOVE MY CAREER MY CLIENTS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

MEET HIRO......This beautiful little soul is a very handsome pomeranian who is from Texas. His daddy adopted him after one of his relatives was visiting someone in Texas and their neighbor who was his owner left him tied up out in their yard day and night.
So of course this little fellow has anxiety because of the way he was treated by his first owner. So his dad has such a kind soft heart and only wants the very best for him!!
Hiro struggles to stay in his " Sit" position and the command " Stay" is even harder but with the patience and love from his dad the progress is AMAZING!!!!
Hiro also tends to bark excessively due to his anxiety but even that is on the decrease with proper training and patience!!! This little guy walks SO proud next to his dad and I am SO proud of both of them!!! This is MY purpose this is MY WHY when I go to work everyday!!! I am SO deeply honored to help him !! REINFORCEMENT MY CLIENTS WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So if anyone ever wondered why I have ALWAYS referred my clients to Mary Neale who owns Pampered Pet Sitting and why I am SO honored to have my name and reputation affiliated with Mary! Mary has a heart of gold and such a responsible person and I have ALWAYS trusted her!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This little kitty went into hiding for a few days in a multiple cat household. I set up a camera near the feeding station and caught a shot of her leg and tail and we all breathed a sigh of relief and brought a little peace of mind to her family. We are Pampered Pet Sitting!

CRATE TRAINING……. PROPER USE……NEVER A PUNISHMENT…… I want to talk about the proper use of crate training and why this is such an important topic. I grew up never even hearing about a crate or crate training so this was such a learning process for me as it is for so many.
The psychology behind crate training is that as domesticated as we have made our dogs they are still instinctively den animals and the crate is a mimic of the den. The crate is to be used for POSITIVE REENFORCEMENT only!!! The crate is used for housebreaking and to prevent chewing habits and to save lives !!!!
This means the crate is to be used ONLY when you can not watch your dog . When you go to bed or when you run an errand but it’s NEVER to be used to AVOID behavior issues while you are home like chewing so if the puppy is getting into everything this is when you are to teach the puppy the PROPER manners in the house.
The most a puppy or dog should be in a crate is maybe six hours a day with someone coming over to put the puppy out a few times a day and of course over night when you sleep but when you are home with your puppy you NEED to keep the puppy with you!!!!
I hear “ Well he / she is getting into everything and chewing on my house “ or “ I just want to sit down and decompress from my day and I can’t with this puppy “ . I tell everyone this ….. Life as you once had is changed because YOU chose to bring a life into your home and this little life NEEDS you to help grow!!!!! I have heard time and again “ I didn’t sign up for this “ and my answer is YES YOU DID when YOU made the choice to bring home this beautiful helpless soul !!!!!
The crate training process also helps to teach independence with your puppy so they can stay home alone if you run to the store or so when the puppy becomes an adult at around two years of age if done properly you can wean him/ her out of the crate and never need it again but one thing is for sure ……. You must NEVER EVER crate your dog sixteenth hours a day because you don’t want him / her “ chewing on your house” because that is animal abuse!!!!!!! You decided to bring the puppy home and ALL puppies chew and depending on the breed depends on how active the puppy will be .
This life is YOUR responsibility to mold him/ her and honestly if you are struggling with the “ NORMAL “ puppy behavior that seems to be too much then PLEASE PLEASE reach out to either a professional trainer and / or your veterinarian but DO NOT resort to constant crating and if that is what you believe is the answer then maybe you should reconsider getting the puppy because this is a life that deserves kindness and love!!!! # POSITIVE REENFORCEMENT MY CAREER #❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
