Sonia was wonderful to work with. She taught our Peanut wonderful manners and we had fun doing it. She offers many extras as well. Well worth the money. May take her up on some of her other extras such as daycare and potty training.

Sonia with The Heart of Caregiving truly reflects the company title in her approach to puppy training and puppy parenting training. She established a firm but loving relationship with our 12 week old puppy and taught him (and us) calming obedience techniques that have already helped us very much. I will definitely call Sonia again for leash training.

Having Sonya help with my pup was worth way more to me than she charges. Today was the first time since I got her I could spend time with her without getting puppy bit. I was even able to put her on the leash and take her out and back in without an incident. I love the way she gently corrected me when I got the command steps confused. She kept the training session lighthearted yet serious at the same time.

Sonia was an excellent trainer and was very informative on how to train our 5 month old corgi. I originally thought my puppy needed a two week training, but Sonia was able to give solutions to almost all our problems in one session! I am excited to see more improvement from my dog and I appreciate that I can still communicate and ask Sonia questions if I need to! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing training for their dog!

Sonia was great with my dog -- she could characterize his behaviors very accurately and gave me many great pointers for training him! She is very professional in terms of communication, transparency about her approach and pricing, as well as being flexible/tailoring to my dog's needs :)
