"I have a 'house-full' of dogs, most of them my husband and I have adopted through rescue, and they all have their unique personalities and temperaments. Sonia visited our home to meet our dogs and it was obvious that she was readily accepted by all of them! Sonia Mullen's expertise and interpersonal skills to relate to animal behavior and her knowledge on how to professionally re-direct their attitudes and overall actions and interactions was very impressive! We had been having a behavior problem with one of our dogs, Sakari, and the brief time that Sonia spent with her in training, Sakari had a complete turn-around!"

I have wanted to send you a note of thanks ever since Abbey came home. She has been wonderful. She understands what we want 100% and seems so eager to be "good". We have followed your directions on greeting strangers and it helps her tremendously. Once she has been introduced she seems to be fine with them.. she still has her barking moments but is sent to "bed" and seems to understand why she is there. The literature you gave us has been very helpful and we all enjoyed the pictures and video clips !

I am having a hard time not cuddling her at night (she was like my electric blanket) keeping me warm and falling asleep together. "But" she is curling up with Benjamin (our other dog) and keeping him warm now. We have had visits from a friends new puppy and Abbey has been so great with him. He has tried to nurse her twice and she just does not know what to do with him ! But amazingly enough she is gentle and wrestles with him and tolerates his puppiness.

We are so thrilled with your service and only wish we did it sooner. You have taught us how to help her and taught her where she is in our "pack". We are so grateful to you and will highly recommend your services. You are worth every cent and then some !!!

"I can't recommend Sonia Mullen and her techniques enough....she worked with my 3 young chihuahuas and she taught all of us so much. Because of her I am a much more relaxed dog owner and the leader of the pack! Sonia is kind, gentle, intuitive and understands how animals think. She showed me things I never would have noticed on my own and she taught me how to interact with each dog's personality. She is a wonderful trainer and human being and I am so grateful I found her."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Sonia Mullen, and her training of dogs. She certainly understands dogs, their behaviors, and all things concerning dogs. She is very good at what she does, and has done wonders for my German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix. "

"She is a calming influence on my dog, for sure. This dog is hyper beyond belief, and she has her doing what she wants in a very short amount of time. She understands what makes them tick..."

"I certainly would recommend Sonia to work with anyone's animals, and know that whatever problems she is handed, she will deal with them in a precise and efficient manner. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her, and continue to do so. Anyone would be very fortunate indeed to have Sonia work with their pets."

Sampson Brunelle, Great Dane/Lab

"When we adopted Sampson a 1 1/2 year old 92lb Great Dane/Yellow Lab Mix we knew he was going to need a lot of work. We also knew we could not bring this large bully to puppy obedience. That's when we found Sonia's website. It was the best thing we could have done. She is terrific!!

Sonia gave us hope when we thought there wasn't any. She really knows, and understands, how to interact with dogs. Sonia also taught us so much along the way. How to walk Sampson and also basic commands. Most important she taught us to be the ones in control.

We highly recommend Sonia Mullen to anyone looking for a wonderful trainer." - LuAnn and Dave Brunelle

Klondike Kegley, American Eskimo

"I can't say enough about how much Sonia Mullen helped us with Klondike, our rescued American Eskimo. Anyone who knows this breed knows how anxious these dogs are. Sonia helped us to learn to understand what Klondike was trying to tell us and she helped us to learn the best way to respond. Sonia worked directly with Klondike, but the most important part of her training was her work with me and my husband. Now, we have a basic understanding of "dog language" and can better understand Klondike and what he needs. We have continued to practice with Klondike and he continues to progress. Now the whole house is much calmer, thanks to what Sonia taught us.

Sonia Mullen has a wealth of knowledge regarding dogs and dog training. I truly believe that anyone who has a dog will be amazed with how much happier both they and their dog(s) can be after having worked with Sonia!"

Pepper Mason, Newfoundland

"Sonia was a God send! When our Newfoundland puppy was having some behavior troubles Sonia came to our home and worked with all members of our family to get Pepper to listen and follow the rules. She worked wonders with our children and as you can see Pepper made her stage debut in the children's Peter Pan dance recital. Thank You Sonia!"
