What Sophie offers you,
your pets and/or your business!
Pet Product Reviewer|Field Research
Field Product Testing/Research: personally field testing pet friendly products for myself and/or my pets. I.E. dog walking harness & leash, dog walking accessories, dog collars, pet I.D. tags, holistic natural cat treats, pet foods, blueberry dog treats, gear & small dog clothing, books , pet sprays, etc. I especially enjoy helping the small business person (such as myself) that creates their own unique pet products & would like to send me their item in exchange for my blogging about the item after field testing it! Sending me an item does not mean I will endorse it or like it though, I will be honest in my reviews and only spend time blogging about items I have personally field researched and approve of! Items sent to me for consideration for product review are not returned nor refunded and our mine to keep as a gift for my time spent reviewing it.
Email me first to see if I am interested in field testing and reviewing your particular product (or I might just contact you first!) and what compensation is required if any other then receiving the item to preview. My review then goes onto a page on this blog of mine then I use various social media venues to share that blog page; i.e. Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Instagram. Please consider creating an affiliate program for my repeat reviews being shared that bring you sales from my blog and social networking skills! My pets and I must eat too!

Animal Behavior & Communication|Dog Psychology
Ever wonder what it is your pet is thinking or why they are doing the behavior they are doing? Want to find some answers? There is something you desire your dog to understand and learn but your dog is not following through and you are not quite sure how to train your dog to understand what it is you are wanting it to do exactly? Wouldn't it be great if you could contact a translator to help bridge the gap of interspecies communication? You can! I have been able to successfully communicate with animals all my life on a level different then most humans communicate. I watch & understand animals "signals" behaviors being in tune to their body language which they use all the time. You might think your pet is "acting out" but what they are really trying to do is get your attention about something in the only way they know how! Thus, I created the term "pawpathy"
My goal is to help you be a better pet parent by creating a tailored plan that meets the needs of both you and your pet to create a winning team! I will help you understand your dogs behaviors, teach you and your dog to work together as a team, to understand basic commands and achieve interspecies communication. All this is taught to you and your pet in a loving positive approach to dog training.
Basically what this means is that, the animals want to learn but they might be confused about the message you are sending or language you are using. This could be your body language, your unintentional reward of bad behavior or your lack of experience as a dog trainer, etc. etc. (after all most people are not dog trainers or animal communicators so this is where I step in and help both the human and the dog achieve balance together!) I am here to clear things up...to translate different languages, to help both you and your pet understand one another more effectively!
My personal motto is: "Coaching humans - translating for animals!"
I can also advise and consult on what type of dog personality by means of a puppy or shelter dog aptitude tests in order to determine which dog/puppy would be best for you and your particular lifestyle. I.e. family pet, guard dog, farm dog, emotional support companion, jogging partner, house mouse, service dog, therapy dog, etc.
