Thank goodness for Sonia! Sonia was called to help us with a whole gamete of issues we were experiencing with our 14 month old moodle (maltese x poodle).
These issues included unruly walks, constant barking (day and night), occasional toileting inside the house, snappiness towards small children and aggression towards other dogs.Gorgeous Curly Five minutes into our consultation Sonia had ‘diagnosed’ what she believed was the cause of ALL of Curly’s very inappropriate behavioural issues; lack of structure and a very topsy turvy hierarchy. ‘A dog with no structure is like a child with no rules,’ these were her exact words. Sonia sprung into action and demonstrated some very strict and specific ways of managing Curly and his behaviours, some of which I was a tad sceptical about despite Sonia’s best explanations. In particular was the use of a crate at night time, for car travel and ‘rest time’ during the day. I’m surprised and pleased to report that Sonia was right and Curly does in fact LOVE his crate!

Within a week of implementing all of Sonia’s techniques we noticed profound changes in Curly’s behaviour. He became manageable and as strange as this sounds even seemed grateful for all the new rules. He is a MUCH calmer, relaxed and affectionate dog. He now hangs off my every word and instruction, very eager to please. We now enjoy our walks and he even comes running with me beside the pram! There is still a way to go with his interaction with other dogs but he has also made considerable progress. Dog training takes time, patience and someone like Sonia to point out all your (yes YOUR) faults and point you in the right direction. We have Sonia to thank for restoring peace to our household!

Money well spent, thanks Sonia!
