NorthShore Canine Academy - Sophie Amphlett

Sophie is really caring and professional in her approach w puppies and older dogs, a true master at the art of dog training. But even more important is training us humans to understand dog behavior and the importance of consistency in a household. Sophie was able to connect w everyone in our family from the 10 yr old up to the 78 yr old grandparents, all have a hand in training a puppy and she did a fabulous job at teaching all of us - the puppy's good behavior is a reflection of the training she gave him and us!

We were debating whether to put our new puppy in classes but decided to spend a bit more money for some targeted coaching - and we’re so glad we did! Sophie was not only able to coach (or correct) behaviors we were seeking to address with our puppy, but even helped us with our adult dog - and managing their dynamic - too. It’s evident by the way the dogs responded to her, and how much their behavior improved after just a few sessions, that Sophie is a master at what she does!

Sophie is amazing. She worked magic with our new puppy and really helped my whole family feel at ease as we adjusted to a new puppy in our house. As new dog owners we had no idea how to approach crate training, potty training or anything. She helped support not only my husband and I but also our 3 children and my nanny. Sophie is not only knowledgeable but fun to work with. I feel so lucky to have found her help during this transition!!
