Background

Sophie writes: "My love for dogs started from a very young age. When I was seven years old, I volunteered to walk dogs at the Humane Society." She describes a family dog "who ended up fear reactive and bit the neighbor" and had to go through intensive training – an experience she says "sparked an insatiable curiosity to understand why dogs develop behavioral problems and how to solve them."
