Sue first got involved with dogs in the early 1990's when she got a Rottweiler named Bria. Her appreciation for the breed led Sue to train and apprentice with multiple trainers to develop and polish her skills. After 10 years of part time training, Sue became E-Collar Certified and began training part time at a local dog training company. Sue now has a long list of training and competition experience from basic obedience, competition obedience, agility, dock dogs, and hunting dog training.

Known for her tremendous success in the DOCKDOGS circuit, Sue is also well known for her remote training collar programs that have given her clients dogs the freedom to not only be off leash but be the dog that is obedient in ANY situation!

Sue training takes the approach that dogs need to "TRAIN THEIR BRAIN" and not just learn a self fullfilling response to commands. Challenging dogs to think and bridge the connection between command and behavior and teaching owners how to be the leader that is positive, clear, and consistent for their dogs is key. Training is not just about training dogs, its about training people and dogs together and Sue gives clients and audiences new ways to think about how to achieve this during her seminars.

In April 2006, Sue Barnes and Kris Rose opened their MYTDOG operation in the Des Moines, IA area. MYTDOG is a full time training facility that specializes in remote collar training and currently serves many clients from Kansas City to the Mississippi River. MYTDOG is a full service dog training company dedicated to helping owners in all areas of dog training.
