Suzie Foster
Suzie has been fortunate to learn how to handle and train dogs from Head Trainer, Shan Foster, her entire life. From watching her Dad train Police K-9s and other dogs at a young age, she has been imprinted with how to communicate with dogs clearly. She immediately showed a passion and drive to become an expert trainer. At age 7, she began personally training her own Dutch Shepherd, Cricket. Under the tutelage of Master Trainer Shan Foster, Suzie has trained her family’s dogs as well as client dogs for many purposes from basic & advanced obedience, hunting, support work, agility, protection, and detection work. She has titled multiple dogs in obedience, trick dog, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), and CGC Urban through the American Kennel Club (AKC). She has been an integral part of the Stray to Service alliance with the Dog and Cat Shelter, training shelter dogs to become service /support dogs and teaching Veterans how to be successful with their K-9 service companion. Suzie has excellent skills training dogs for any trainer, but for her age, she is truly remarkable. Check out our Facebook to see Suzie in action!
