Susan Engel
Founder, Training Director and Canine Behaviorist

Susan is lucky enough to be living her childhood dream of working with animals. She is a dog professional with more than 23 years of extensive, full-time experience working with families and their dogs.

She was the Director of Humane Education at a large veterinarian hospital after 7 years as a veterinary assistant. Her desire to help homeless animals prompted positions as an animal shelter manager and a great dane rescue volunteer. Susan's growing dedication to animals was recognized by the members of Animal Welfare Association, which resulted in a position on the AWA's Board of Directors.

She is the creator & instructor of a responsible dog owner seminar that is offered free and monthly to the community. She has been a guest lecturer at college animal science programs and at veterinary hospitals. Susan is an instructor of seminars to teach other professional dog trainers. Susan is the Canine Behavior Consultant for several large veterinary hospitals in her area.

Susan is nationally recognized for her "Keep Everyone S.A.F.E." program that assists families with aggressive dogs. Susan is founder and adoption director of a non-profit adoption program where her company donates all education services to the dogs and their new families.

Susan was one of the first 50 Remote Collar Specialist in the US and Canada. And one of the first in New Jersey. She is pictured here with Fred Hassen (middle) and Ron Nober (right). Susan is a professional member of the International Association of Canine Professionals and National K-9 Graduate's Association.

Susan has taken Scout, her boxer and Riggs, her Belgian Malinois thru the certified Pet Therapy program with Therapy Dogs, Inc.. Twice a month they visit folks in local assisted living homes. It is a rewarding and fun time for all.

Susan is the Founder of Project: Troop Dogs which is a non-profit organization that sends care packages to the Military War Dog Teams overseas.

Nature has always been a passion for Susan. When she is not working with the dogs, she enjoys caring for her 10 Muscovey ducks. And on most days you can find her taking pictures, gardening or landscaping on her wooded property in the country.
