Sophie is the Founder of So Help Me Dog which started in October 2015. She has always had a passion to work with animals and when she was little wanted to become a vet. Working at the Melbourne customs breeding facility reignited her study again when she made the big move to Sydney in 2013. She then completed Cert III in dog training and behaviour in 2014 and started So Help Me Dog in 2015.

Dogs wellbeing and health is the number one importance when it comes to working with dogs for Sophie. She strives to educate the public on how to raise a healthy and well balanced dog by understanding dog communication, dog psychology and body language. She is also passionate about helping dogs going through difficulties such as generalised anxiety, puppy development and reactivity issues. With her knowledge and expertise she has helped 1000s of dogs and pet parents better understand and learn how to manage behavioral and training issues.
