Gretta's Dog Training

About Us

Custom training solutions for humans and their dogs

  • We look for best dog training solutions that fit human’s lifestyle and dog’s needs.
  • We use reward based methods (positive reinforcement).
  • We educate and explain why certain (desirable and undesirable ones) dog behaviors appear in the first place. When you know “why” you better understand “how” to change/address them.
  • Our goal is to teach pet parents to solve small difficulties with their dogs without trainer’s help in the future.
  • We look for and analyze roots of psychological reasons for behaviors and treat the real problems, not fight the symptoms.

Gretta is trainer’s dog. She is her main inspiration, proud and engine to progress. Gretta is a mutt that was born and raised in Eastern Europe (Ukraine). Often she helps trainer as a demo dog, assistant and/or “distraction” during sessions.

Gretta knows tons of commands and fun tricks. Takes part in competition obedience and learns nose work.
