FirstBarkSophie is incredibly knowledgeable about how to handle dogs that are easily triggered. It was so helpful having her in the house with us and practicing management tactics to handle our dogs triggers. She gets dogs instinctively and our family is so grateful that we found her!

Sophie helped me become confident in my dog's needs and behavior! If you live in north suburbs, don't waste your time searching for a dog trainer, and just book with Sophie!
Sophie was absolutely amazing with our cavapoo Bruno! She was flexible with the times we needed her for training, and was so patient with Bruno. At 5 months old I did not expect him to learn or retain the amount of training he did. He continues to do amazing and after just 4 o…Read full reviewClose full review
Sophie was absolutely amazing with our cavapoo Bruno! She was flexible with the times we needed her for training, and was so patient with Bruno. At 5 months old I did not expect him to learn or retain the amount of training he did. He continues to do amazing and after just 4 one hour sessions is doing great with his commands. Sophie also offers tips for puppies, how to keep them busy, out of trouble, keep them from boredom, etc. She was a blessing for us to have as first time puppy owners and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I reached out to Sophie for some help with SA with a recently acquired 5 year old poodle who has had lots of changes and flips out if I leave (which I can't since I live in a condo and he howls, not barks!). It is a slow process but I received lots of reference materials and am working through the process. My poodle was transfixed the moment Sophie walked in, and Is think she could have had him doing backflips in the near future; her training style is awesome! SA is not really trainable, but I did get good insight of how to move forward and incorporate training and am working on that project now. Definitely a Dog Whisperer!

Sophie did a great job quickly accessing my dog's issue and helping me figure out ways to alleviate the problem. Stella is doing a much better job walking on her leash and paying attention when called. I really liked all the quick resources she sent me so I didn't have to read through tons of information. The training games she recommended has become a nice way to bond with my dog and not another task on my to do list.
