NorthShore Canine Academy - Sophie Amphlett

Sophie was so gentle, patient and loving with our 2 year old dog, Luna. She provided us with many resources and recommendations for how to help Luna with her anxiety and fear of going outside. We highly recommend Sophie! She comes to your home with all of her treats, tips, tricks and toys which we deeply appreciated! She also followed up with us after her visit to check in and provide additional resources. Thank you Sophie!

The Best Dog Trainer Ever! Sophie is truly the best dog trainer I’ve ever worked with, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she walked into our home, she was so personable, gentle, and welcoming, immediately putting my rescue dog at ease. The way she spoke to him and treated him was so incredible—it was clear she has a deep understanding of dogs and a natural gift for training. I was amazed by how quickly my dog picked up new skills and tricks under her guidance. Up until that point, I genuinely felt hopeless, but Sophie proved me completely wrong. She showed up on time, fully prepared with treats, toys, and a clear plan. She even sent us a detailed list of everything we’d need to keep him trained and entertained after her sessions. Thanks to Sophie, our home is so much more cohesive. She not only trained our dog but also taught us what to do, what not to do, and what changes we could make to create a better environment for our one-year-old pup. Her expertise, patience, and kindness have made all the difference, and we’re so grateful for her. If you’re looking for someone who will transform your relationship with your dog while making the process enjoyable and stress-free, Sophie is the trainer you need! She’s truly a lifesaver!
