About Sue

With over 20 years of experience in dog training across Sussex, Sue is a highly respected professional known for her expertise and dedication. Based in Fulking, West Sussex, near Brighton, she has earned a stellar reputation for resolving a wide range of behavioural issues in adult dogs.

 

Sue’s journey began with a lifelong passion for working with dogs, which took root during her tenure at a renowned kennel in West Sussex. There, she gained invaluable experience in breeding, showing, and training world-class German Shepherds, including specialised protection work. Her role involved whelping, rearing, and training puppies, providing her with a profound understanding of canine behaviour and development. Sue also proudly took on the responsibility of caring for Sussex Police dogs, further honing her skills with dogs from various backgrounds. In addition, Sue has extensive experience in quarantine work, where she was responsible for rehabilitating dogs rescued from around the world. This role allowed her to work with dogs from diverse backgrounds and challenging situations, further refining her skills in positive reinforcement and behaviour management.

 

Sue’s dedication to professional growth is evident through her diploma in Advanced Animal Care and Canine Behaviour, coupled with ongoing professional development. Her approach to training is not only positive and evidence-based but also highly personalised and engaging. One of Sue’s proudest achievements is her ability to explain complex behavioural issues in a way that is accessible and relatable for all dog owners. 

 

Her main ethos is to empower owners with the confidence and skills needed to effectively address their dog’s behaviour, fostering a positive and collaborative relationship.

 

Whether addressing issues such as lead pulling, poor recall, or aggression, Sue’s methods are tailored to each dog's unique needs. Her friendly and professional approach, combined with nearly a decade of experience, has earned her high recommendations from clients. Sue’s expertise has successfully helped hundreds of dogs and their owners, ensuring they have the tools and confidence to achieve lasting results.

 

At Dogs in Line, my training approach combines practical experience, scientific principles, and positive reinforcement techniques. By focusing on clear communication and owner empowerment, I strive to create harmonious and effective solutions that enhance the bond between dogs and their families.
