“"If something is too good to be true, then it probably is." Welp, that's a lie.

Sophie loved and trained my boys in literally ONE DAY. I thought when I picked up my boys they would have a couple of their quirks fixed, but they have done a complete 180°.

Prior to spending ONE DAY with Sophie my boys would be a nightmare going on/getting ready for walks, bark endlessly at every noise outside the house, try to escape the house every time we opened the door, and lose it when they saw other animals. Going out in public with them was embarrassing and stressful.

Two weeks later they are still going strong as model citizens. Yes, sometimes they need a little reminder to be good boys, but now they and I have the tools to easily correct behavior.

It is with great confidence that I recommend Sophie's One Day Dog.”

“I first saw Sophie's One Day Dog Training online, I was So enthusiastic to find a trainer that made me feel confident that they are passionate with what they do (Based off reading Sophie's credentials and her about section.)I have a 9 month old labradoodle boy. really well behaved boy for being a puppy but never trained him yet properly. sophie explained everything clear and simple for me to understand. Its really amazing to see your pup transform in real time during the session. After our session I'm beyond impressed with the 1 on 1 training experience overall.”

“Sophie is truly a miracle worker.

Our dog Bosco has been through what feels like every trainer in San Diego for his unruly behavior. Our family became unable to safely take him on walks and positive progress with him seemed unattainable.

We met Sophie at Dog Beach where she was extremely kind and informative. We booked a half day care & train session with her. We were all extremely skeptical of the fact that she could train our Bosco at all, let alone in one day. Let me just say, we still haven't picked our jaws off the floor. We returned to the most patient, respectful, obedient dog I have ever come across. It was like Sophie had done some kind of magic on him. During our review and learning session, Sophie explained everything in a very knowledgable way about dog language, communication, and our new role as alpha dog trainer. It helped us all gain new understanding about dogs that we had never been taught before. We can now take Bosco with us anywhere, have fun on walks, and not constantly worry about the next bad thing he will do which is something we never thought would be possible. This is the best dog training I have ever been through. I recommend Sophie's One Day Dog Training to anyone with a dog, it is the real deal. Thank you Sophie!”

“Sophie's training was absolutely awesome . She had turned my new puppy around 100%. Made him more of a off leash dog . Made him understand no is no . Helped with the biting and jumping on people. I recommend the full day training to help your dog or puppy understand how they are supposed to behave . I will be bringing back Jack to see you again just to reinforce some of the stuff you have already trained him . You have a fan with Jack and me as well . We will see you again soon.”

“I used to have insane anxiety every time I took Ollie out for a walk, knowing he would be barking at every person and dog we saw. I tried every tip and trick I could find online and even spent months working with other trainers only to be told he might never get past his behavioral issues. After a couple hours with Sophie, he was completely transformed! All of a sudden, I can take my dog with me and not have to worry about the constant barking and pulling. I finally have the dog experience I always wanted, and my pup has never been more confident!”

“Sophie is the master of dog trainers, she is kind and result driven. she explained things in the simplest and most effective way to getting your dog to listen obey. no complexity just simplicity in no time. My puppy was walking along side me without pulling including stopping and sitting in less then an hour under my 2 simple commands. incredibly quick turnaround. thank you so much Sophie.”

“Sophie is amazing and wonderful at training. This is my second review. Its been 3 days since she was at my house training my two dachshunds to walk on a leash without pulling and running. She also worked with them not to bark at people, dogs and charging out the door barking at everything. Frannie and Lulu are 99.9% different dogs. They don't pull on the leash now , they walk right next to me, they sit, wait until I release them withOK to walk again by my side. If they start to bark ,I say "NO, Quiet" and they stop until the other dog passes. I was hesitant about using the Springer collar to train, but it works and it doesn't hurt my dachshunds. She really does know how to train in a day. Thank you Sophie, Im so glad I called you , you are the best.”

“Before meeting Sophie we tried five different trainers and programs and nothing truly stuck. It was one step forward, and two steps back. Both being first time dog owners, we struggled with understanding how to communicate with our dog Jingles and set healthy boundaries that corrected behavior and kept our anxiety at bay. We found Sophie and were immediately drawn to her kind spirit, love of animals, maturity, and felt an immediate sense of trust and safety leaving Jingles in her care. Each time Jingles trains with Sophie there is an immediate change in behavior. The biggest difference is she trained us to be better dog parents and since meeting her Jingles has become the best behaved dog - we literally always get comments on her good behavior and give all the credit to Sophie! Sophie ended up being a part of our wedding and helping Jingles walk down the aisle.. We couldn't have done it without her and we are constantly in awe of her gift and knowledge, and making our little family happier all around!”

“Sophie literally changed me and my pups life. My beagle was very misbehaved. She would go through my trash, chew on shoes, and pull on the leash. I was having a really difficult time trying to figure out how to train her on my own and we weren't making any progress. Lola had a full 360 after getting training with Sophie. She no longer chews on things or digs up trash and most importantly, doesn't pull on the leash or even need one anymore. Sophie worked some sort of magic and I would hire her again 100x. Lola now is an off leash dog and I get so many compliments on how well behaved and sweet she is. THANK YOU SOPHIE.”
