History

Established in 1998.

I have been training dogs since 1998 and used many mainstream methods. Once I began to study the science of applied animal behavior and learning theory, I chose to advance my education by enrolling in the prestigious Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behavior (KPA). I am now a KPA Certified Training Partner (CTP).

I have helped many owners and their dogs to have a wonderful life together.

Business Owner

I came to the United States from Russia in my early twenties, worked my way through school, received Master of Business Administration degree and proceeded to have a comfortable career in Marketing while dreaming about working with dogs.

I then quit my corporate job and opened Understanding Our Dogs LLC. I have graduated from the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior. I attend multiple conferences and seminars every year to ensure I stay on top of the latest research on dog training and behavior modification.
