Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. A puppy will recognize it's name after repetitive use of the name over time. If you reward with treats when she comes in response to her name, she will likely respond much faster. With patience and time, you will see that Susson will eventually respond to her name. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
