I had a great experience with Sonya! I have a 2 year old Rottweiler who is a very sweet dog, but also extremely stubborn. I have had big dogs my whole life, but he is my first Rottweiler. When my normal training that I used to do with my Boxers did not work with him, I knew I needed help. Sonya was recommended to me and I couldn’t be happier and more grateful for all the help and guidance that she provided! I did a consultation with her and even after the consultation, I was able to get some basic direction on what to do. I then chose to do her five week obedience course and it has been phenomenal! He just finished his last class with her this week and his behavior has improved immensely!
If you are struggling to train your dog and want to support a local small business, make sure to contact Sonya! I promise, she will do everything she can to help give you your dog back. Thanks again Sonya, I couldn’t have done it without your help!

Horrible experience. We missed the first class, but were told to still come to the second class. We then sat and watched for 30 minutes as the instructor practiced with every dog multiple times, except ours. Because “he isn’t ready”, when literally all the lady was doing was walking in a straight line. There was also a very aggressive dog there barking and trying to bite at others dogs throats. We also asked for water for our dog who was hyperventilating and the lady just said “no I’m not getting him water, he’s fine”. Terrible terrible experience all around. Not to mention the fact that there is an ash tray filled with half smoked blunts and joints sitting on the front porch right where you walk in for the business. Joke of an establishment do not come here

My wife and I have used Sonya’s services on multiple occasions for our very energetic yellow Labrador. These services include a 3 week board and train program, puppy kindergarten, and boarding services when we are out of town. Sonya is very professional, friendly, and thorough in her training. Our dog LOVES visiting and working with her, she is as accommodating and knowledgeable as they come.
There are (four) one star reviews that were posted on 2/11/2025:
I was present in the class they are referencing.
There is zero substance in any of those reviews that are remotely close to being true.

We used Sonya’s services for both of our puppies. Doggie kindergarten for both and with our older girl we did the advanced class to work on leash work and both were amazing. She’s very patient and now I am able to walk two large breed dogs by myself outside!
Most recently we used her boarding services. Our youngest dog has severe anxiety and does not do well with strangers or in different environments so safe to say we were nervous having to leave town. There’s nobody else we would trust with our pups! She sent updates to ease our mind which helped a lot! Thank you Sonya!
