My name is Sue Woodworth and I have had a love for animals my whole life. I began training and showing dogs in 1986. I showed in the Obedience ring and competed in Novice, Open and Utility levels with my German Shepherd Murphy. Murphy and I were active in the St. John's Pet therapy program where we visited local retirement homes on a weekly basis.

In 1994 I opened my own obedience training school for family dogs. As I was always looking for new training methods,
I would attend seminars and conferences on a continuing basis. At one of those conferences I was introduced to the
Tellington Touch method of training. It was totally different from any training I had ever done and it was there that the seed was planted.

In 1997 I began fostering young puppies from the local OSPCA. With the help of my 2 daughters, we would work with these puppies until they were adopted.  One of these puppies, a boxer-cross named Mocha never left. She was a wonderful puppy who was abandoned in a dumpster and was terrified  of thunderstorms. It was at this point that I remembered about the TTouch workshop and signed up for a week long training seminar in Quebec, Canada to see if it could help Mocha overcome her fears.

After 7 days of training and surviving 7 thunderstorms with Mocha, we came home with a whole new method of working with animals. I went on to complete my training to become a practitioner and graduated in 2001 as a level 1 Practitioner for companion animals.  In July 2005 I became a level 2 Practitioner for companion animals.

TTouch is now a very important part of the work that I do, not only with PuppyTails, but also other animals that I own and work with.

In Feb 2008, I have completed the Canine Massage Practitioners Course. I will be offering Canine Massage Workshops in the future.

I am an Canine Good Neighbour Evaluator for the Canadian Kennel Club.

I am a current member of the Tellington TTouch Practitioner's guild, the Canadian Association of Professional Pet Dog Trainers and the Canadian Kennel Club as well as being certified in Pet First Aid. I am a certified Animal Reiki Master Practitioner and  I am also studying Animal Communication. In the past I have spent many hours volunteering at the local OSPCA and have conducted temperament tests for them.

I share my life with my partner, 2 daughters, 2 dogs, 3 cats, a parrot, a bearded dragon and a ball python snake.

IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS AND A HEAVY HEART THAT WE ANNOUNCE THAT WE LOST OUR BELOVED MOCHA ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2009. WE MISS YOU DEARLY AND  WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU TAUGHT ME AND ALL THAT YOU TAUGHT EVERYONE ELSE AND EVERY DOG YOU MET!
