    Thank you Sonya for sharing your fabulous knowledge, the simple steps for training our pups. I'm so glad we found you. The one to one session was amazingly simple but so fantastic to watch and to put into practice. The lads don't realise that they are being trained, to them it's fun and for me too. I'm so pleased with their progress in such a short time. The 'come' command has been so invaluable while walking them on the lanes. It keeps them safe in an instant. Very one that meets them on their adventures, whether in the park or in a cafe they all comment how polite little puppies they both are! Thank you xxxx

    Sonya come round on short notice to give advice and help me understand my new troublesome rescue bulldog a bit more. She had a positive impact straight away with him herself and then give me some pointers and help to do it myself. Noticed a difference in the first day. Will be having more sessions soon. Would recommend.

    Sonia helped me with my dogs barking in my garden. Within the first session I saw a change in his behaviour. Sonia was very reassuring and supportive for both me and buddy. Nothing ever seems too much trouble. I would highly recommend Sonia to everyone! Thankyou again!
