Active Canine Academy

Working with Viktoriia has been nothing short of transformational — not just for Kyro but also for me as a dog mom. Her calm confidence, deep knowledge, and genuine love for dogs from day one stood out. Kyro was almost five months old when he started board and train, and Viktoriia knew exactly how to channel his puppy energy into obedience, focus, and confidence. Under her guidance, Kyro learned solid foundations, leash manners, off-leash control, and impulse management while keeping his playful, loving spirit intact. Viktoriia doesn’t just “train” — she connects. She took the time to understand Kyro’s temperament and built a trusting bond that made all the difference. I appreciated the regular updates, videos, and transparency throughout board and train. Viktoriia also empowered me with the tools and techniques to maintain everything Kyro learned. I now feel confident leading him, and Kyro is more confident, happy, balanced, and thriving. If you’re looking for a trainer who is skilled, intuitive, professional, understands dog behavior, and truly cares, Viktoriia is the one. Forever grateful for everything she’s done for me and my boy! 💙🐾 — Andrea & Kyro 🐶

My boyfriend and I adopted a 4 year old ACD. Blue was very reactive and aggressive with other dogs. He even attacked Viktoriia's dog the first day of our evaluation. (Blue's leash unclipped) After she saw first hand how he was she worked with us and was very patient and firm. Gave us great advice along with homework for us to do with Blue. Overall, we see a difference in Blue after the 6 sessions. We are able to walk Blue even if there are dogs nearby and he listens to commands compared to before. We are very happy we booked with Viktoriia. She also replies quickly to messages and I think that is a good quality especially when hiring someone for help or trying to book any sort of appointment.
