Working with Polina was an absolute game-changer for our family! Our timid rescue dog struggled with resource guarding and aggression, especially toward my spouse, but Polina handled our challenge with expertise, patience, and kindness. In just one in-person session and a couple of virtual trainings, she taught us simple and effective techniques to manage and resolve these behaviors and also helped build our dog’s confidence and trust. The transformation in our dog has been incredible, and our household is so much happier and more peaceful now. We can’t thank Polina enough for her guidance and support – highly recommend!

My 7-month old golden retriever puppy Willow has been working with Polina since I brought her home. I had tried group classes, online classes, online videos, etc but nothing was working because until I started working with Polina did I realize none of it was tailored my specific puppy's needs. From day 1, Polina has not only helped me work to fulfill Willow's needs but helped me become a more informed (and confident) owner about Willow's obedience, traits, even diet! We've worked on socialization, leash training, settling, basic obedience, and reactivity and the routines I've learned have not only impressed other dog owner friends, but ones I use with my 11 year old golden! I appreciate how patient, understanding, and even a little tough love Polina has provided, all through a positive reinforcement approach.
We had a wonderful experience having Polina help us work with our two dogs. Her steady, gentle and caring approach helped both our 6 year old Pepper and 16 month old Yuki, settle and be more responsive to commands both in the house and when out walking. Her patience, consistency and responsiveness with us and the dogs made it a very enjoyable and rewarding experience for all. Thank you Polina!!
I am so grateful for Polina! Her patience, knowledge and clear instructions have helped me to better understand my pup, Coco, and build a stronger relationship with her. Coco was stressed and barking when home alone, and aggressive to people coming into our space. She is now calm when alone, and I now have the tools to help her deal with the anxiety of strangers coming over. Thank you, Polina!
