Often unknowingly people make mistakes and create fears, anxiety or even future aggression for their puppies.

When done correctly, it will help ensure your pup becomes confident, outgoing and well adjusted, loving to interact with you and eager to learn.

From the day you bring the baby home, it is important to set up the rules and boundaries, develop the love for interaction and training, prevent biting, start building the special bond while setting up your baby for success to become the dog you dream of...

No matter which one of our boarding camps your puppy will be attending, your best friend will spend the time here as part of our Dogsports4u Academy family!

Our camps provide exceptional reliable results and make it easy for your puppy and super convenient for you. 

Dog training takes a lot of skill, time and patience.  Busy families and professionals don’t always have the time, patience, or the experience to train their own dog well.  Even if you had dogs your whole life, you probably learned how to train 3 or 4 dogs, and the dog you have now is different! An experienced professional trainer has trained hundreds, of dogs. Just like with everything in life, a true professional will always provide the best results...

Our world class training facility is combined with Olga's unparalleled knowledge,  talent and experienced learned in top competitions. Her unique fair leadership motivational dog training approach and human coaching is what makes Dogsports4u Academy the best choice when you want your dog trained the right way, the first time! 

Quality dog training is an investment into years of your life together. You will be happy and proud to share everyday life's moments with your family member. A well mannered trained dog is a joy to have around in all your adventures for years to come! Imagine going to the beach, shopping, sharing lunch together, going for walks, and living in the moment every day...Your dog is worth it, your peace of mind depends on it...

High quality is not always the most expensive, our prices are compatible while our results are superior!

Your pup will be getting multiple training and interaction sessions per day, as well as exercise, and playtime. These private one-on-one sessions will accelerate the process so that once you dog already understands it, we can focus on teaching you how to take over and make it work.

We don't just teach obedience, we work on building confidence, reducing anxiety, teaching the "off" switch for time outs, and stopping bad habits such as barking, pulling on the leash, launching at other dogs and people, jumping, counter surfing, running away, stealing, biting, and other behaviors by providing leadership, confidence, setting clear rules, following with discipline, motivation and rewards.

Then we show you how to communicate and interact together so that a special connection develops and grows strong while practicing obedience skills and games. This is the base for solid training that lasts a lifetime.
