In planning for my puppies arrival 'Georgie' who is a Border Collie and this being a first for me in terms of dog breeds, I did a large amount of research to find a trainer that I felt comfortable with, coming across ALL 4 PAWS dog training. I have to say from initial point of contact,Sonia has been an absolute god sent!
I had Georgie with me for 4 weeks before starting to engage with anyone outside, as this is what I had always done with previous dogs, whilst she was doing great there were a couple of areas that I was concerned about. From the moment Sonia arrived for my initial 1-1 consult our life started to change for the better, Sonia talked me through all aspects that I should be considering in owning a Border Collie to ensure that I raised a calm and well mannered girl. Some of the techniques were very different to anything I had ever done or experienced, as at first I was a little reluctant but followed her guidance as it was very clear that she knew what she was talking about.
The following two weeks were considerably challenging and at times I felt like throwing in the towel however, I had the full support of Sonia, who would touch base each and everyday to see how I was going, make slight adjustments if need be to remain on track and provide the support and encouragement I desperately
needed. At the time the two weeks felt like a lifetime but the results have been amazing and beyond anything I could have imagined. Georgie is now 16 weeks old, she is a calm and happy little girl and we are both doing exceptionally well thanks to Sonia.
I cannot recommend Sonia highly enough, and the only thing I would do differently is I would have contacted her before Georgie arrived rather than wait until she was 12 weeks.
If you want a calm well mannered happy fur family member than Sonia is the one to call !!
Thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart.
