Flora was a very “fizzy” young puppy an into everything when we first started training with Sophie. She quickly got us sorted with a number of exercises & advice during the 1-2-1 sessions which were well worth it. We then followed this with 2 sets of classes and the social walks which all helped to turn the fizzy Labrador into a well-trained and obedient dog we feel we can take anywhere. Sophie is an excellent trainer and one we have recommended to our friends.

Molly, my black Labrador, and I have been training with Sophie for 2 years. Sophie is clear in her instructions and is very good with humans and dogs. She offers a number of different classes and workshops which are helpful in training/keeping the dog thinking. Classes have small number of participants, giving time for individual attention. Molly loves her classes, we would recommend Sophie to anyone wanting to train their dog. Everyone should have a Sophie in their training regime!

The best day of the week is our dog training day. Sophie makes training a dog enjoyable, fun and rewarding for both the owner and dog! Sophie is an excellent dog trainer and we would recommend her to anyone as her knowledge and skill set of understanding dogs behaviours is incredible which in turn means the owners and dogs are trained to a high level. She makes it so easy to ask questions and find the solution that works. Following Sophie’s instructions at class…

We started training with Sophie when Domino, our Cocker Spaniel was 12 weeks old and we have never looked back. Sophie is a fantastic, patient trainer who we have learnt much from. Domino always enjoys the classes and has come a long way in his training. We would highly recommend Sophie to anyone who is looking for a dog trainer.

Mango, our Golden Retriever and I attended three sets of training classes with Sophie and five years on Mango still retains all the basic commands. Sophie made the classes fun and emphasised the need for regular repetition whilst rewarding the puppy accordingly. The “leave” and “heel” commands in particular have got us out of lots of sticky situations! I would recommend these classes to anyone.

“It is safe to say Parker was a challenging puppy. Sophie’s training sessions were amazing she taught me how to relax and connect with him and he is now a wonderful and well behaved dog that I am proud to be with. When Whizz joined us, Sophie adapted her training so I could work with them both together. We have a very happy doggy family and I cannot thank Sophie enough. She has a wonderful calm manner about her that instils confidence in both…

“Thank you Sophie for the brilliant training you have given Alfie and I over the years. You’ve taught us how to work together and I truly have the best dog. With a bit of hard work and patience (he’s a Beagle x Terrier!!), I now have the most wonderfully social, lovely natured dog and life companion in Alfie. Thank you so much Sophie, I always highly recommend you”

“We took our Golden Retriever to Sophie’s puppy training classes at Bledlow Ridge. They were fun for both the dog and us humans and we learnt a lot. The results were so successful that we have also joined in with some of her walks and further training. We are getting a new 8 week old puppy very soon and look forward to training with Sophie once again.”

“We started training with Sophie during her weekly Puppy classes with our WCS puppy, Winnie and have progressed to her Intermediate class. The life skills our puppy has learnt have been instrumental in keeping the brain of such an active breed engaged and happy whilst giving her a great recall that will keep her safe out and about. Sophie was able to identify very quickly what our puppy found easy and also more challenging and even in a class situation Sophie was able to…

“Having taken Molly, our Gordon Setter puppy, to puppy classes and also had some 1-1 sessions at our home, I can highly recommend Sophie. Not only does she have a deep understanding of dog behaviour and a wealth of experience, Sophie is able to impart her knowledge to dog owners in a clear and calm way. Her puppy classes are the calmest I’ve been to!”
