Sophie is a very talented dog expert. She taught our new pup so quickly — not just commands but also how to avoid problem behaviors, product recommendations and much more. She knows a ton about canine behavior, a true dog whisperer. Scheduling sessions was super easy. Grateful we found her!

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!

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.
