I had a fantastic experience with Sofia from Very Amazing Dog Academy. She is knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and behavior. The training methods covered were clear, effective, and easy to continue practicing at home. What stood out most was how Sofia involved my daughter throughout the process. My daughter enjoyed participating in the training, and it was wonderful to see the bond between her and our dog grow stronger. Since completing the training, life at home has become so much more enjoyable. Our dog is better behaved, listens more reliably, and we feel equipped to handle situations that used to be challenging. Sofia's guidance has made a real difference in creating a calmer, happier environment for our family. I highly recommend Sofia to anyone looking for professional, positive, and effective dog training. Thank you for helping our family and our dog thrive together!

After being pulled face-down into the ice and snow, I realized my 4-year-old Bernese Mountain dog and I needed professional help. Honestly, I was the one who needed the training--bruised ego, soggy clothes and all. I called and left a message as soon as we got home, and Sofia responded quickly, reassuring me that she could help. Sofia taught me how to be a kind yet firm leader. Now Beatrice looks to me for guidance and our walks are much more pleasurable. We've also seen great success with her recall. Sofia is a patient, encouraging teacher who understands dogs just as well as people! We loved the variety of training, from classroom work to real-world practice in parks and retail stores. Highly recommended!

Sophia is an absolutely wonderful dog trainer and a truly beautiful soul. From the moment I met her, I was struck by her kindness, patience, optimism, and genuine love for both people and animals. She has such a calm and confident presence, and it makes all the difference when you’re feeling overwhelmed. I came to Sophia with a very awkward and intimidating situation — managing three large dogs while being a smaller, older woman who was honestly scared about handling them in public. Two of my dogs are rescues, so you never quite know what behaviors you’re going to get, and my biggest goal was simply to be able to walk all three dogs safely and confidently in public. In a surprisingly short time, Sophia helped make that happen. We are now walking comfortably and confidently together. We still have progress to make, but she gave us the tools, structure, and confidence to move forward, and that is priceless. Beyond her skill as a trainer, Sophia is just a remarkable young woman. Sometimes you meet someone who quietly touches your heart, and she is one of those people. Her compassion, dedication, and love for dogs truly shine through in everything she does. When she shared that one of her dogs lived to be 17 years old, it spoke volumes about the kind of care and devotion she gives. Sophia, it was such an honor to meet you. I know we only worked together for a short time, but you made a lasting impact. You are amazing, brilliant, confident, and full of heart, and you have such a bright future ahead of you. Thank you for helping us and for being exactly who you are. Highly, highly recommend.

We had the most amazing time learning to skijor. Sofia was incredibly knowledgeable and a great instructor. We would recommend to anyone!! We’re so excited to have a new activity to do with our dog in the winters:)
