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 🤍
Kristina and Vegas
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! :)
Lena and Buddy
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!
Maria and Polly
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!
Kseniia and Luna
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!
Tetiana and Kessie
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!!!
Daria
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!
Viktor Zavoloka
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!
Svitlana
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!
