I’ve been helping dogs and their people for over 8 years, guiding more than 2,000 consultations — from everyday challenges to complex cases involving anxiety, aggression, overstimulation, and recovery.
My work covers everything from basic obedience and tricks to nosework, tracking, and search-and-rescue training. I focus on building a clear system of interaction between you and your dog — not “obedience for control,” but a true bond and partnership.
For me, the goal is not drilling commands, but creating a strong connection where your dog feels secure with you and can fully thrive.
I share my life with three dogs — two rescues and a Labrador Retriever. Together, we train in nosework, scent detection, and human search work.
I was certified as a rescuer by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM) and took part in real-life search missions as a volunteer handler with the Liza Alert rescue team.
I’ve completed multiple international and Russian programs, including:

• Karen Pryor Academy
• Animal Behavior and Welfare
• Dog Emotion and Cognition
• Specialized courses in tracking, detection, and cadaver search (Sevastopol State University)
• I’ve also attended seminars and training sessions with world-renowned specialists such as Claudia Fugazza, Valentina Balli, Susan Garrett, Grisha Stewart, Alexa Capra, and INBTI instructors including Chad Carpenter and Chris Boyd— as well as leading Russian experts Varvara Bolshakova, Galina Fedorova, Tatiana Shamanova, and Tatiana Romanova.
