WE LOVE DOGS OF SOUTH FLORIDA! COURSES
Our Puppy Kindergarten Course is a great way to begin your relationship with your new family member. Little ones learn name recognition, impulse control and how to be social with others. You learn to help your pups focus on you so teaching them sit, stay, come, wait and walk loosely on a leash are easy for them to grasp. We also address common household challenges like house soiling, jumping, mouthing, garbage can commandos, barking, door dashing, counter surfing and more. Our “Better Than Basic” Obedience Course is similar to Puppy Kindergarten but for is for dogs of a more advanced age. In addition to Puppy Kindergarten curriculum, your dog will learn to heel, how to cope with distractions, distance work and more. Our Advanced Obedience Course takes training to a higher level.

Canine Good Citizen or CGC is a test to promote responsible dog ownership and to encourage the training of well-mannered dogs.

CGCA or “Community Canine” tests your dog’s advanced abilities to navigate public settings and your communication with your dog.

ABOUT SUSANNE BLOOD
We Love Dogs of South Florida! Premier trainer Susanne Blood understands the mind of a dog and the motivations behind canine behaviors better than any "Dog Whisperer." Her love of dogs is evident in the way she orchestrates her classes...tiny dogs and big dogs, timid dogs and rambunctious ones…all co-exist and learn together. Her masterful praise and consistent encouragement inspires confidence in both her human and canine clients and her teaching methods are not only fun, but very productive. Susanne helps strengthen the bond of love between you and your dog. Susanne Blood was born in Germany, and raised in Michigan where, at age 12, she trained her rescued beagle mix and shepherd/husky mix in obedience classes just like expensive AKC registered “show” dogs. A lifetime passion for dogs and training was born! In 1980, Susanne moved to Broward County with her beloved cocker spaniel, Calvin. She attended training classes and soon found herself at the National Guard Armory on State Road 84 teaching the courses for the Fort Lauderdale Dog Club and Command Dog Training. She has served as a volunteer trainer with the Doberman Rescue League since 1982, and in fact, she and her husband have been owned by Dobermans since they married in 1988. Susanne is proud to share that all of her dogs- Dobermans, Cocker Spaniels and a Toy Poodle have all competed and titled in the Obedience and Conformation rings
“Our life with our dogs is precious,” says Susanne. “I believe that all dogs, large and small need some education and guidance from us to grow our relationship with them. Opening the door to communication with our dogs leads to a wonderful relationship that lasts a lifetime.”
Developing this relationship with your dog takes commitment, but with Susanne’s help, it can be fun, quick and easy. This lasting relationship results in less dogs turned into pounds/shelters. IF they are turned in to a pound/shelter, a well-trained, socialized dog is far more likely to be adopted. Susanne has helped her clients train giant breeds to toy, registered, mixed breeds, rescues and everything in between- all with the same goals in mind- winning in the Conformation, Obedience, Agility, or Rally rings, becoming a good canine citizen or a wonderful, cherished friend!
