We asked Sonja to address a situation we were having with my 6 yo boxer mix and my dads 2 yo Feist mix. Two female dogs, both insecure were not getting along and we needed help. Sonja was great, explained why the dogs were acting the way they were. Gave us tips and tools to address the situation. She was great with the dogs, they were very receptive to her. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

Sonja was what we needed! Our dog was the crazy pup and she taught us how to properly train him. She's very informative and very knowledgable. No regrets!

I rescued a 9 month old puppy that had months of bad behavior built up, as well as socializing issues and separation anxiety. Sonja was able to give me key training tools to untrain the bad behavior and retrain her the proper way. Every day is a work in progress and repetition for my dog. I also needed training myself on how to properly introduce her to strangers and how to properly reinforce what she has learned. I have seen a lot of improvement in her over the last couple months since training has started. Sonja takes her time with you during each session and truly cares for the dog she is working with. She is also available for any questions or concerns after the training session which helps if any instances come up in waiting for the next session.

Thanks so much Elyse. So glad to hear that your sweet girl is improving. Stay in touch.

We reached out to Sonja to help us learn the ropes of training our new puppy during quarantine. We had a few basics down, but we needed some help with more complex behavioral traits. She gave us helpful tips that helped our dog learn things like leave it, letting us eat our food in peace, and not biting on the furniture. Hope to continue to work with her well into Lincoln's future!

Dog Smart's reply

Thanks for your kind words. I look forward to following up on Lincoln"s training soon.

Sonja is wonderful!!! She previously helped us train a lab puppy, and she is working with us on training our new lab puppy. She has great tips on teaching them so many commands, such as waiting at an open door without running out, going to the bathroom in the same spot, and how to ring a bell when they need to go out. Our new puppy didnt want to go anywhere near his crate, but after one lesson with Sonja, he is going in on his own. Sonja makes training a new puppy fun through games they enjoy!!

Dog Smart's reply

Thanks 😊 Call for a follow-up once he is 6 months old.
