FirstBarkSophie was so gentle and kind with my little 5 pound poodle. I was really impressed by her approach. I’m really looking forward to applying all the tips and tricks she shared to make him more comfortable around strangers and around my 6 month old baby.

It’s five minutes of the first training lesson. I can tell she loves dogs and is very committed to making the relationship between the dog and the human compassionate and loving one. She taught us so many things that we didn’t know about how to deal with toddler age puppies. So glad we met her, I would recommend her to anyone at home with their dog.

Sophie came to our house to work with our new, very energetic puppy. She worked wonders after just two visits, giving us not only strategies and skills to work with the dog, but helping us understand much more about dog psychology so that we can approach training and handle behavior challenges better in the future. She is a very skilled dog trainer, and, most importantly, loves dogs so approaches everything she does with a focus on enjoyment and positivity for the dog.
Sophie is an outstanding dog trainer! Her expertise and caring approach have made a significant difference in our dog's behavior. Highly recommend her services!

Sophie was so amazing to work with and I am so grateful to have found her! She made training my dog very approachable and fun for both of us. Sophie is super accessible and fast to reach, and easy to book with. I love her philosophy of positive enforcement and noticed immediate leaps in improvements after the first training alone! Having her meet me at my apartment for the training was great because she pointed things out that I might not have otherwise realized. I highly recommend Sophie!
