Absolutely loved the training. Attended with 2 of my dogs and the training was structured so well for each of them. Sophie was amazing and explained everything so well. She is extremely knowledgeable and can explain clearly. Plenty of homework to work on. Fab venue and will deffo be attending as regular as I can .

I would highly recommend Sophies scent training workshops Sophies scent training sessions and her extensive knowledge, empathy, support and skills in understanding and managing dog behaviour alongside scent work training has been helpful and fun. We now have new skills to help utilise our very clever 2 year old wheaten terriers brain. Previous to this training the best way to describe our strong willed dog was as a permanent ball of fiz During a series of 122 sessions Sophie was able to understand our dog and give us tips to use to manage her behaviour on a daily basis Bramble now has a great work ethic and she needs to use her brain as part of playtime dailnot just regular play and walks. Scent work is now part of our daily routine Bramble is much easier to manage and a happier and contented dog with occasionsl fizzes but we csn now enjoy and manage these moments

Sophie is so knowledgeable and friendly, our spaniel Pippin has loved our scentwork sessions! With Sophie’s support we have just completed our Silver course which from the outset was clearly not Pippins favourite odour but, Sophie has been great at building Pips confidence and developing our teamwork. We highly recommend working with Sophie and can’t wait to join more sessions!

Just been on a scent detection workshop with Sophie in a small warehouse. It was a great challenge for my dog in a different environment and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s really great to try unusual locations.

Having a working cocker spaniel I knew I needed to give him a job, he loves sniffing things out when we play at home so when I found Sophie did sniffer dog training it was perfect. I love learning new things and helping to train my dog to do something he loves. Sophie is such a lovely kind gentle trainer with all the dogs in our classes and they clearly all love her. My dog gets so exited when we get near the building and can’t wait to go in.

I have used Sophie for both 1 to 1 training and also the sniffer dog bronze, silver and gold courses and would highly recommend her. She has such a positive attitude with the dogs and Molly my cocker spaniel absolutely loves her. She is so knowledgeable and has such a wide range of different ideas to help your dog with any issues or concerns you have.

We are currently on the Gold UK Sniffer dog coarse having completed the Bronze and the Silver. My Bichon girls have also done a few workshops and some fun competitions. Sophie is patient with myself and my girls and makes the classes not only interesting but so much fun as well. She has a vast knowledge in scentwork and will guide you to get the best out of your dog. I can highly recommend Sophie to anyone who is thinking of starting scentwork.

Our cocker spaniel Mazie attended bronze, silver and gold sniffer dog training. Sophie is excellent. The classes were enjoyable and we learned lots. It’s clear she enjoy this work and provides lots of guidance on working with your dog. These classes were a refreshing break from the typical dog training and clearly worked for us! Thanks Sophie x we will be back for more.

I can’t recommend Sophie and her scentwork classes enough. She’s so knowledgeable and able to read and cater every activity (and homework!) to each individual team and their current level / challenges. We were struggling with getting our dog to use his nose instead of his eyes after doing the UK Sniffer Dogs online course and Sophie made suggestions that meant we saw improvements within the first week. Shes also brilliant at understanding and catering to different dogs needs. Our dog can be dog selective / reacts to being barked at but she manages the classes brilliantly so this was never a worry for us, even down to making sure dogs enter and leave individually and swap activities thoughtfully so there’s always enough space that the dogs don’t feel uncomfortable or forced to meet. We’ve since passed the Bronze course and can’t wait to start silver with her next month!
