Testimonials
“Before we had Sophie’s input, every walk with our gorgeous but reactive dog Felix, was stressful. With Sophie taking the time to get to know us and Felix we are now able to go for a walk and feel confident in how to manage his outbursts. We had tried other dog trainers who were good but weren’t as sensitive in their approach. Sophie listens to you rather than jumping straight into telling you what you’re doing wrong. And Felix loves her!”

"Sophie has been 110% dedicated and committed to helping us train our rescue dog Rosey. Rosey came to us with a lot of behavioural issues after being rehomed 3 times. After only 3 months working with Sophie, she is a completely different dog. Sophie has been so patient with all of our questions and has always been available outside our training sessions to support us. We highly recommend Sophie to anyone needing some training with their dogs - we’re so lucky to have found her!"

"I highly recommend Sophie, she is an amazing dog trainer and has helped us with our dog Eddy in so many ways. Sophie clearly loves dogs (and all animals!), and is very knowledgeable and confident in knowing the right way to train our dog. She also understands that not all dogs are the same, so gives individual advice to us. She came to our house to train Eddy, but we also did some training at different parks and with small groups of other dogs and their owners, which was super helpful. She is very patient and calm with Eddy and uses positive training techniques. Sophie is only a phone call away too if you have any questions or need advice. I would definitely recommend Sophie!"

"We’ve worked with Sophie for almost 6 months with our nervous and sometimes lead reactive American staffy. From the first meeting we felt heard and had a clear plan on what we could work on to help her. Sophie is very knowledgeable and has been supportive and empathetic with our nervous girl. Highly recommend her to anyone needing support for their dog."

"Sophie has done wonders with my reactive dog Charlie. Her approach not only transforms the dogs but also the owners and also teaches people how to be a proper leaders and advocates for their dogs. I have seen such a dramatic change in my dog training with Sophie, and her holistic and individualised approach has made me feel confident in the long term behavioural change in my dog. She works on finding what motivates your dog to increase its overall well-being and looks to the root causes of problems not just the surface level symptoms. If you want a realistic, kind and very well-rounded approach to training your dog please look no further. Sophie will take the time to really get to know your dog, and work to not only reduce problem behaviours but build a better bond with your dog. I personally, am eternally grateful for all of her assistance."
