Sophie is amazing! You can tell that she truly enjoys what she does and it shows when it comes to dog training. We have an energetic, two year old pup with some barking and fear-based issues and Sophie has been a godsend! She gave us great, practical tips and we have started to see a difference in our dog’s behavior!

Sophie has been a blessing. Glad I learned about her training on NextDoor app! For years I had wondered about no fear based training and thought just a different approach. Nope!!! It actually is the best and easiest type of training. The choke collars for example create more fear in a scared dog. If you have a nervous dog, they learn best with the No Fear, rewards based approach. Sophie follows up with you and genuinely cares about your dog.
My wife and I had Sophie help us with our reactive dog, as we will soon be welcoming a newborn. She is very knowledgeable, and gave us a lot of tips for just general training, and our specific situation.

Sophie really is a dog whisperer! Within five minutes of meeting Sophie, my dog stopped barking and settled right down. Her techniques worked like a charm, and she had him literally eating out of her hand. My dog is very protective of our home and doesn’t like people entering his space. Sophie was the first exception to that rule. She gave me strategies to use, a list of treats and dog toys to entice my dog to break the cycle of being reactive to visitors in our house. She achieved all of this in one session! Sophie is definitely the Dog Trainer to call!
Sophie is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to dog training. She helped me with all 3 of my dogs. I know I can go back with any questions or issues a she will gladly help. Very positive and easily gets the dogs to behave in a proper manner.
