Clever Canines

Saw immediate changes to our puppy behavior, great and practical advise. Sophie is really friendly and professional. Highly recommended

I spent a very informative few hours with Sophie from Clever Canines. My Lowchen puppy was amazingly good around Sophie. I thought the dog would get some training but it was actually me that got the training, and helpful tips, and I really enjoyed the conversation..and the advice.I can thoroughly recommend Sophie to anyone that has a new puppy.Sandy Moore

Sophie was incredibly patient and understanding with me and my lab, she let me ask all of the questions I needed to and made sure I understood everything fully before we moved on.Her approach is aimed towards the owner, rather than just the dog, so instead of paying a fortune for multiple sessions or classes I feel like I've learnt the skills to ensure I continue to do the right things for my dog forever!Thank you Sophie!!!

I would highly recommend Sophie and Clever Canines.When we got our 2nd puppy we needed help walking them both together. We consulted Sophie, she was friendly and non judgmental and offered great easy advise to follow. Within a short space of time we could walk both puppies together. What is an added bonus with Sophie is she is only an email away, we had a TV issue with the puppy which I emailed to Sophie and she again offered great advise, after using her technique only twice we saw improvement. I would not hesitate to recommend Sophie.lk

Oh my gosh! Having a puppy can be a tough road to go down. Believe me, I've had some really rough rides. But it turns out I never needed to. Who knew? If I had met Sophie 40 years ago, I would have had a much smoother road. She walked in and Sydney was immediately calm. As if he didn't need to be the boss anymore. No worries. He literally went into another room and played with a toy for about an hour! Sophie taught us the basic rules of dog behavior and how to put them into action. It was easy and after she left we had a new dog. This is not hyperbole and I'm not being paid to say this. Her fee was worth every penny! Thank you Sophie!

We needed a trainer that understood our struggles and put our family at the heart of the solution. Sophie’s professional approach ticks all the boxes and she has a solution for every problem . Sophie is great at identifying areas for improvements and tweaking our technique to help us achieve a better outcome! She is not only a fantastic dog trainer, she’s a brilliant human coach too!! Our puppy is now thriving and we are learning together so quickly. We can’t thank her enough.

This was the best money ever spent. I really got such a good understanding of what was going on in my house. The dogs are so much better now. I highly recommend Clever Canines. Sophie is calm and so knowledgeable.

Having not had a puppy for a long time, it was so helpful to have one on one training and we saw immediate good changes in our puppies behaviour once we learnt how to treat unhelpful behaviour. I totally recommend Clever Canines to anyone looking for great quality training. Angela

Sophie helped us with our very anxious Malshi who barked all day long. Her advice and tips we adopted brought progress within the first few days. With Sophie's sound advice we are confident our girl will lead a much calmer and happier home life.

Thanks Sophie for helping us with our 15 week old puppy. The house is much calmer now. Spending one on one time with us and Bonnie has helped us to understand how a puppy thinks. We were unconsciously allowing our puppy to learn some bad habits. With Sophie’s knowledge and understanding we have made some changes that have had a huge impact. We feel we are now setting the rules and Bonnie is much happier now she has a routine. Sophie has helped with her barking, feeding and biting and recognizing when Bonnie is over-tired. I now get to spend more quality time with her when she's well rested. Thanks so much for all your help, I can't believe the difference it's made. You are a lifesaver!!
