Meet the trainer!

You have the advantage of working with a trainer who competes with her own dog who raised from a puppy to the highest level in one of the hardest dog sports, called IGP(formerly Schutzhund). 

Olga Baram knows about aggression, natural drives and impulse control. The difference between a competitor and  a trainer of pet dogs is the connection and depth of a relationship between the trainer and the dog without food, toys or leashes... In trials, the true connection, motivation and training skills are the only tools when the dog is competing off leash in obedience and protection utilizing his power and natural drives and instincts while demonstrating complete control and concentration in his work and on his handler, all with happy and cheerful emotions and attitude.

Often your dog's distractive behavior, leash reactivity or aggression are the product of misunderstanding and lack of impulse control and inability to constructively channel their natural instincts.  

Working dogs have strong instincts, tons of energy and are high strong.  It takes skill and knowledge with a balanced approach to work with them and to channel them for most amazing results.  Most local trainers are only using the reward based training, or a suppression training,  which are only some of the many training tools Olga has added to her arsenal for each dog over the years.

Olga Baram has been fascinated by dog training since she is 5!!!  This makes it decades of learning and studying and always challenging herself to get even better.  She owned and trained a poodle mix, a Rough Collie, 3 Belgian Sheepdogs and has put multiple obedience, agility and tracking titles on her Belgian Sheepdogs in the past. Olga is now a part of top 5 dog/handler team representing USA at the World Championships with her Belgian Malinois D&C's Bravo, IGP3, FH, CGC who she raised from 7 weeks old.

Olga's passion about dogs made her sponge and soak anything and everything she could come across.  AKC Conformation, Competitive Obedience and Agility along with genetics, breed health issues, puppy imprinting and raising, proper nutrition, from and structure, wellness and physical conditioning.

She has been involved in IGP (Schutzhund) since 1995. It is a highly demanding complex and competitive working dog sport involving 3 disciplines at once - Tracking, Obedience and Protection.  All being judged on the relationship of the handler and the dog team. It requires  precise performance on the dog's part in high state of arousal while being in total control of the handler.  This sport brings out the best in the dogs and challenges the handlers to always evolve as trainers. It is addictive and consuming becoming a way of life for many involved!!!

Olga never stops learning and bettering her skills.  She has been attending lots of seminars and training workshops and trains with top trainers in the USA and Europe. 

Olga is a CCAS (Certified Canine Athlete Specialist). She is an expert in Canine Fitness. She successfully combines the physical mental and emotional wellness from fitness and nutrition with her training programs. This helps take training to another level enhancing motivation and confidence, helping the dogs learn how to relax and overcome fears while engaging their bodies and minds and learning to avoid injuries when running and playing.
