What our customers say
Real reviews from real pet parents
Jennifer McGlincy
We love VADA! After a recommendation from a friend, we hired Sofia to work with our Goldendoodle, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Beyond the classroom, our pup enjoyed joining Sofia and her pack on hikes throughout Grand County — it really helped improve his off-leash skills!
Ben Simonds
Sofia was exactly the person we needed for our pup. When we started experiencing 'teenage behavior' we contacted VADA and quickly noticed improvements. Highly recommend in the Grand County area!
Kristi Jarboe
Sofia's knowledge and warmth made all the difference. She's been training our dog since 12 weeks old and helped us feel confident every step of the way.
Kelli Ballenger
My dog Hank and I completed a basic obedience package with Sofia. She was patient, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Melanie Gonglach
Sofia's training methods and outdoor activities made learning fun and effective. Couldn't ask for a better experience!
Allie R.
Sofia uniquely combines dog training with holistic techniques like reflexology and mushing. Her positive approach strengthens the bond between dogs and their people.
