Excellent one-on-one instruction. Viktoriia is knowledgeable, firm but kind, responsive and generally loves dogs. Highly recommend.

I took my new puppy to train with Viktoriia and she was amazing. I learned so much from her in just a couple of weeks. She truly loves what she does and is always willing to answer all of my random questions. I appreciate that so much. And she does boarding! So glad I found Active Canine Academy!
Viktoriia, is very patient and friendly. She responds quickly and she gives advice on what items may be needed for your dog. She is awesome with my puppy!!!

I am so thankful for Viktoriia. I was having a hard time walking my dog because he would pull the leash and when we walk he would always bark like crazy to other dogs and even people. I knew I needed help and I came across her profile through my nephew and his girlfriend. Our first day with Viktoriia was so chaotic, I was so nervous because I knew my dog would immediately bark, but she was so calm and helped me calmed down as well. I love how honest she is. She knew exactly what I needed. I can’t thank her enough for her help, my walks with Kobe are so much better. We are able to enjoy our time together and even enjoying our walks without excessive pulling or barking towards other things. Our private lessons taught me so much more as being a dog owner. I highly recommend her. Shes the absolute best.

My roommate and I adopted our dog back in November of 2024. she was very disobedient and refused to use listen and use the restroom outside. she also had a very bad barking problem. whenever me and i roommate left the house she would bark non stop to the point where we were getting noise complaints from our leasing office and from neighbors as well. it was so bad to the point where we thought she had separation anxiety so we were prescribed meds for her, which did not work at all. I started to research training places and i found vikktoria. we started our 6 session training, now our dog Dolla doesn’t bark anymore whenever we leave the house, she knows many commands and is now using the restroom outside constantly. Vikktoria is also super funny and made the training very fun. She made us feel super comfortable and was extremely helpful with our dog’s situation. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with training, she’s stern and knows what she is doing.
