Struggling with Your Dog’s Behavior?

We know how frustrating it can be when your dog’s behavior makes everyday life a challenge. Pulling on the leash, barking at strangers, lounging at other dogs, jumping or biting, stealing things and chewing, acting out when left alone—it’s exhausting. You're not alone, and there’s no need to feel stuck. Whether it’s aggression toward other dogs, anxiety, constant zoomies, or just needing help with housebreaking, we’ve helped countless dog owners overcome the very same struggles and changed their lives for the better!

Here are some common behavior problems we solve for our students...If any of these sound familiar, we will turn things around for you and your dog!

  • Is your dog completely out of control on the walks, pulling you on leash all over the place?
  • Always sniffing, or looking for something to swallow?
  • Jumping on people?
  • Barking and growling at everyone passing by?
  • Aggressive to other dogs?
  • Anxious and nervous or distractive when left alone at home?
  • Seems to get the zoomies always at the wrong time, no matter how long your walks are?
  • Running away when called?
  • Are you embarrassed to have company over?
  • Are you avoiding taking your dog places with you?
  • Does your new puppy need extra help learning housebreaking?
  • Is your relationship starting to feel like a frustrating burden at times?

You’re not alone—most dog owners come to us with the same frustrations. Time to turn things around! With personalized training and a little guidance from our team, we can help your dog become more confident, obedient, and relaxed.

DOG TRAINING THAT WORKS... AND LASTS!

DogSports4U Will Help You Make a Breakthrough in Your Pup's Behavior

Let’s make your dog the best companion they can be! At DogSports4U, we go beyond basic training commands to create a well-rounded experience that benefits you and your dog. Olga's talent, skills and knowledge has created a unique approach that's proven to work successfully with thousands of dogs and their humans! Here's how:

Motivation

We use motivation by tapping into your dog's natural drives. This is how learning happens and how a fun, loving relationship develops between you and your dog.

Communication

We will teach you how to communicate clearly and consistently to stop unwanted behaviors and set boundaries. You and your dog will speak the same language!

Fair Leadership and Accountability

Fair leadership is dogs appreciate and thrive on, and you will become the center of their world by being a fair and clear leader of the pack.  

Accountability produces consistent, reliable results. We’ll show you how to bring clarity, fairness and respect and how to hold your dog accountable to make her happy and fulfilled.

Wellness

Our holistic wholesome dog approach works! We promote wellness through nutrition, fitness, mental and emotional well being and training. We approach each dog from his or her perspective based on their breed genetic DNA as well and particular dog in front of us. By tapping into their drives and genetic needs using exercise, play, and training, many behavioral problems disappear on their own...And the bigger ones that don't get managed daily by fulfilling the dog's needs correctly.  We will teach you how!

What Florida Dog Owners Are Saying About DogSports4U

Olga is fantastic!

"It has been a long time since we had a puppy in our home. They are adorable but they have so much energy and puppy behaviors that can be very disruptive to your quiet lifestyle. He made our older dogs look like angels! Sam stayed with Olga for two weeks for training. Who would know that the deadliest hurricane to hit Florida in 100 years would occur just days into his training! Olga made plans to evacuate and protected our puppy as if it were her own, training him while they were on the road. I was amazed at how much Sam learned at just 4 months old and look forward to him returning for future training. Olga sent pictures and videos of his progress on a daily basis. They are a great resource for me to reinforce special commands. When Sam hears her voice, he gets so excited and tries to jump on my computer to get to her. I was so excited to have someone with Olga’s extensive dog training experience and professionalism and would highly recommend her!"

Jack and Kathy Byron
Sun City Center, Fl

She is a trainer we would highly recommend!

"We found Olga through an internet search and have been pleased with our choice. Olga is very personable, professional, and very knowledgeable about training dogs and humans alike. She takes the time to make sure we try to stay consistent with our training for our dog and if there is a need for extra attention, she is there to help. She is a trainer We would highly recommend!"

Jack Webster
Rotonda, FL

Dogsports4u Academy is the best!

"For the past 30 years my dogs all have been trained by Olga. An amazing, kind , highly professional who became friend and a rescue for “ mischief friends”. Newfoundland Iris (who I brought from former Soviet Union in the 1990's) lived for 15 years, Olga was a beginner trainer spent significant time teaching Iris water rescue, successfully. Second dog was a beautiful Rottweiler Benzi. Gorgeous puppy with typical behavioural problems. Olga's patience and kindness resolved and thought my dog and my family how to live in harmony and enjoy each other’s company. Olga even helped train my dog to be featured in Vogue magazine and become a star in telephone commercials!!!! Benzi earned her “ stay”!!!
Highly recommend! Reach out to “ dog magician “ with kindness heart to train your best friend!!!"
