I first made contact with Sonia after we introduced our new puppy (GSP) to our adult dog (mastiff cross) with some difficultly. We were having some difficulty with the two dogs getting along and alongside this, we were also having some behavioural troubles with our adult dog. Without Sonia's assistance I don't think we would have been able to be in the happy situation we are in now, with two dogs living in harmony.
Sonia attended our house for a joint behavioural/puppy consult. She spent approx 3 hours with us and both dogs. Immediately she had the puppy sound asleep in her crate and introduced the adult dog to his new crate. Sonia has provided us with assistance in regards to raising a new puppy, retraining our adult dog and creating an overall effective structure in our home. Sonia took us through everything you could possibly need when you're raising a new puppy, our only wish was that we had found Sonia years earlier.
Sonia's assistance during and after the initial consult has been invaluable The ongoing support we have had access to, especially during the stressful beginnings, went above and beyond my expectations. After a rocky start to owning two dogs, we now have dogs who are crate trained, able to station on their mats in our lounge room, play together and explore the world together.
I cannot thank Sonia enough for her endless assistance over the last five months and look forward to continuing our training journey through a number of her classes.
I will continue to recommend Sonia to everyone I know when they are getting a puppy, because the earlier they start practising what Sonia teaches the better it will be.
