![]() Susan began her journey in positive reinforcement training when she attended the first annual conference of The Association of Professionat Dog Trainers (APDT) in Valley Forge, PA. As a professional member of the APDT, Susan is committed to keeping current on the most humane, force free, and effective training techniques available. She and her dogs have attended numerous training camps including Say Yes! Training Camp, Kinetic Dog’s Agility Camp, and Camp Gone to the Dogs, as well as seminars on the subject of positive reinforcement given by noted trainers including Leslie Nelson, Jean Donaldson, Sheila Booth, Susan Garrett, and Pat Miller. Susan so enjoyed teaching with Greenwood Dog Training School that she enrolled in the Educational Leadership program at Immaculata University. Her graduate education connected learning theory to all the work she has been doing over the years. In 2012, she completed her secondary and special education certifications through the state of Pennsylvania – helping her to enhance and enrich the learning experience of the human end of the leash. |
![]() Also inspired by the 1998 APDT conference, Mary was thrilled with what she learned at Camp Gone to the Dogs and at seminars by such accomplished trainers as Sheila Booth, Pat Miller, Leslie Nelson, and Sue Sternberg. She is also a professional member of APDT. Mary brings plenty of teaching experience to Greenwood. She has worked at Wilmington Friends school since 1998, teaching computer classes for 11 years before becoming the library media specialist, teaching Quakerism classes, and assisting the IT Department. With a degree in psychology, Mary enjoys working with dog owners to help them teach their dogs to become well-behaved, responsive members of their families. ![]() |
