Reactive dog training that increases confidence at both ends of the lead
The Confident Connection Programme
You want to feel confident that you can make things better for your dog. You no longer want to feel like your dog is unpredictable and out of control.
You want to enjoy your dog. And you want to experience all the fun you expected to have with your dog.
Imagine if you knew exactly how to handle your dog when the inevitable meltdown occurs. More than that, what if you knew how to help your dog calm down and feel more focused on things that make them happy?
And what if you could also restore your own sense of calm so that stress and worry was no longer taking hold of you.
My personalised reactive dog training programme will give you bite-size manageable solutions to transform life for you and your dog.

What my client’s are saying….
I recently became Mum to a 4 month old rescue dog from Romania. Una instantly bonded with me but everything else in the world seemed too much for her.
For 2 weeks I tried to get her comfortable with the world and every time we took a step forward we would then take a step back. I was getting upset and feeling like I was letting Una down.
She is a beautiful dog and all I want is for to have the best life, out on adventures with me, running, walking, going to the countryside & beach!
Not a chance.
Una wouldn’t walk outside and was upset by every small noise or person walking past the window.
Because I am on my own I want her to get along with my parents, but that was also hard for Una. She barks and shows her teeth.
Then I found Sonia, she gave me a call and instantly gave me solutions to help Una.
Even before enrolling in the course, I had tools which, helped Una relax.
The course has been invaluable and Sonia as well, who is so supportive, constantly in communication, and there to help.
The 1-2-1 sessions are amazing to get specific solutions & suggestions. The course itself is easy to follow along and logical.
Una and I have a lot of fun trying out the activities. Which not only help her confidence but strengthen our bond. Her progress is outstanding!
I honestly can’t thank Sonia enough for everything she has done to help us.
Be patient, keep your faith and all will get better I promise. With Sonia’s help, you will overcome any barriers you & your dog face.
