Meet the founder
Hello, I'm Susi - Your Playa Vista Dog Expert
Built from a lifelong passion for dogs, Playa Vista Social Pups is rooted in serving the community with intention, structure, and care. With years of experience in pet care and dog walking, I now focus on training — creating balanced, confident dogs and well-informed owners.
What started as hands-on experience evolved into a deeper commitment to understanding canine behavior and training. I’ve completed over 800 hours of in-person training alongside multiple highly regarded trainers, working with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and real-world challenges.
My approach is built on direct experience, structured methods, and a deep understanding of how dogs learn and respond. Over the past years in professional training, I’ve developed a system that emphasizes clarity, consistency, and accountability — for both dog and owner.
I remain committed to ongoing education, continuously refining and evolving my methods to ensure every client receives thoughtful, effective training that delivers lasting, real-world results.
