This was our first experience working with a dog trainer, and I’m very pleased 🥰 Already by the third lesson, I saw how Ami was responding and following my commands 😍 After completing all 8 sessions, I got exactly what I wanted. But we’ll definitely continue training with Marina because I see tremendous progress 🤍
Anastasiia and Ami
My impressions of our trainer, Irina, are absolutely fantastic! All commands and recommendations were clear and easy to understand. I thought my spoiled dog might be hopeless, but Irina dispelled all my worries, and I am incredibly grateful! We've started a healthy relationship between me and Vegas, and we'll keep moving forward! Thanks again! :)
Kristina and Vegas
Good day! Here we are 🐩 already graduates of your National School of Service Dog Training. Our puppy joined your 'first-grade' class without any socialization experience or knowledge of commands. Thanks to the trainers’ extensive knowledge, attention, and individualized approach to every dog (the dogs were of different breeds and ages), they taught our puppy how to properly follow commands, behave in social environments, and provided a lot of useful information that we still apply today. Special thanks to trainers Emma, Sergey, and Marina. Buddy had individual lessons with Emma and participated in group classes with Sergey and Marina. After completing the course, our puppy has changed dramatically. Thank you very much!
Lena and Buddy
We got a dog for our child (by the way, our child is 16 years old), and it was a well-thought-out decision, including the breed choice. It was important for me that they learned to understand each other. We started training with Sergey immediately after Polly (Jack Russell Terrier) finished her post-vaccination quarantine (she was 4 months old). Initially, it was challenging for both my daughter and the dog. Huge thanks to Sergey for his patience. About two months have passed since completing the course. Now, our puppy (almost 8 months old) walks calmly, even off-leash in safe places, and loyally looks at her owner while obeying every command. Sergey has taught them to become a great team. Your specialists are highly qualified, and I always recommend your school when asked where we trained our dog. Many thanks to your entire team!
Maria and Polly
An excellent school! We completed the basic course, and it was extremely effective. Trainer Alexandra sensitively understood our relationship with our dog. Nobody felt stressed; the training sessions were convenient and comfortable!
Kseniia and Luna
Greetings from Kharkiv! I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to a true professional—Svitlana. I have a Labrador and Russian Spaniel mix. As you may know, mixed breeds can be challenging, especially with an owner who initially didn’t understand her well. Additionally, the war affects everything, and Kharkiv isn't exactly calm, which also impacts animals. However, Svitlana taught us to understand each other and gave us essential training skills. Thanks to her, walks have become enjoyable rather than stressful. Before Svitlana, many trainers refused to help us because of Kessie's mixed breed, and we couldn't manage to train on our own. Only Svitlana accepted the challenge, and we're incredibly grateful. She's professional, clear, understandable, and straightforward. Thank you very much!!!
Tetiana and Kessie
I’d like to thank you for such a wonderful instructor! We’re very satisfied with the results, and we really liked Olesya as a person. She’s attentive to every detail and very pleasant to talk to! We wish you continued success! The training recommendations are already working — we’re seeing great results!
Daria
She established a connection with Morgan on the very first day, and he learned the basic commands literally in 2–3 sessions. I sought help due to aggression toward people and other dogs — we started managing this around the sixth session. The difference before and after is huge! Maria is very pleasant both as a person and as an instructor — not a single complaint. She always tried to adjust to my schedule, which is crucial for me as a serviceman. I'm extremely satisfied with the result — it exceeded my expectations!
Viktor Zavoloka
Individual training sessions with Olga were the best decision we made! With her support and belief in us, we managed both our emotions and our overstimulated puppy. And the group sessions led by Olga and Taisia are amazing! Every dog gets attention without exception — they notice everything and give helpful advice. We’re truly happy to have met such great professionals!

You are the best school in the world, and you have the best instructors. You can’t even imagine how proud I am to study under Mr. Oleh Romanovych, Mr. Serhii, and Ms. Oksana. It’s a true treasure that these people share their experience with us.
I am genuinely grateful to the School and to Mr. Oleh Romanovych for his dedication and knowledge, for uniting the best instructors and doing everything to ensure that Ukrainian cynology thrives.
Thank you.
Diana Hitlan
I'm continuing my studies with great pleasure. You have truly top-level instructors. This is not just a school — it's a whole community. You can see how everyone puts their heart and soul into the dogs — it's incredibly inspiring.
Viktoriya Ledney
The instructors are wonderful, the course is good, a lot of attention is paid to the students. Feedback is at the highest level, they explain and break things down even if it has already been said multiple times. If there are more interesting courses, we will definitely take them. What I liked the most was that you can follow your own schedule. Because service duty doesn’t always allow you to attend the online class live.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
No, prior training is not mandatory. We have developed a comprehensive program that integrates all key elements of basic obedience directly into the learning process. If your dog has not been trained before, you’ll be able to intensively acquire all the necessary skills and achieve the course objectives. Please note: to fully cover the foundational material, the duration of the course in this case will be extended by one month.
Yes. We train dogs of all breeds starting from 9 months of age. Even a small dog can perform protective functions and serve as a serious deterrent.
Yes. Aggression is not required. In this course, we teach the dog to act on command and in real situations, not to be uncontrollably aggressive.
No. On the contrary, the dog becomes perfectly obedient, more restrained, confident, and better controlled by the owner. Training in protective skills develops self-control and a clear understanding of when to act.
Absolutely. The dog acts only on the owner’s command and maintains a stable psyche. We eliminate situations of uncontrolled aggression.
The optimal age to start is from 9 months to 3 years. In some cases, training is possible for older dogs, but only after prior evaluation by a cynologist.
You gain not only a well-trained dog but also a reliable protector, capable of acting in critical situations and ensuring the safety of your family and property.

The dog lies without a leash in front of an item and, on the command “Guard,” remains in place. If anyone attempts to take the item, the dog signals readiness to attack, and if the attempt continues — attacks and immediately returns to guarding. The dog can guard an object from one or several intruders.
The dog protects the owner: it reacts both to the owner’s command to defend and independently if there is a life-threatening situation, repelling the attacker.
When an offender tries to escape, the dog, on the owner’s command, pursues and prevents them from fleeing.
The dog is capable of countering an attacker attempting to strike it or its owner with an object.
An assistant fires a shot from a distance of 50 meters. The dog remains calm.
The dog fearlessly attacks the opponent’s arm despite the attempt to fire. Even after a shot is made, the dog continues the attack.
The dog escorts the offender to law enforcement authorities, preventing escape. If an escape attempt is made, the dog attacks.
The dog can identify the scent of the desired item among other objects, finding the correct one or belonging to the owner.
The dog guards the territory or premises: it reacts to the appearance of strangers near the entrance door, gate, or fence, gives a warning signal, and, if necessary, engages in active defense. The dog is capable of detaining an intruder until the owner arrives or gives the command “Release.” Training is conducted both indoors and outdoors, helping the dog clearly understand the boundaries it is responsible for protecting.
