Meet the Team

Connor Kingfisher
Coaching, STEAM Scouts, SuperPup Scholars Advisor

Growing up with Labradors and Chesapeakes, Connor has been a dog nerd since childhood. From working at dog daycares, later running a daycare and boarding business, training group classes, individual coaching, partnering with a local breeder, to fostering they’ve worked with all types of breeds - neonates to seniors - professionally since 2011.
Connor found a strong interest in socialization and canine communication after rescuing multiple dogs with behavioral disorders.
Their love of teaching people of all ages comes from their time working as a K-12 substitute teacher as well as walking international visitors through the history of the Aleutian Chain while running the Unalaska Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.
Their current teammate is an Icelandic Sheepdog named Nausicaä. When they aren’t coaching clients, hiking with Scouts, or raising puppies, Connor enjoys reading research papers and articles on animals and neuroscience, learning dog sports with Nausicaä, and relaxing with a good audiobook.

Susannah Bruck
Blog Writer, SuperPup Scholars Advisor

Susannah has been involved in the world of dogs for over 20 years, starting as an 11-year-old in 4-H with a reactive Border Collie mix named Moose. Since then, she has trained and competed in obedience/rally, conformation, agility, and other sports with her Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. She also volunteered for 7 years at the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in the Animal Care and Adoption Center, which allowed her to build her training skills through working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and backgrounds.
Susannah currently has a delightful, overachieving Duck Toller named Briar. In addition to dog sports, Susannah enjoys hiking, visiting breweries with Briar, creative projects, and talking excessively about dogs.
