10/10, would love for Lyuba to walk my dog Niko for years to come. She's responsible, knowledgeable, caring, warm, and professional. Lyuba is the only person I'd trust with Niko because it's so obvious that his safety and enjoyment is her top priority. I've seen that she is fully able to control him without resorting to methods I wouldn't use such as leash yanking or excessive treats. I especially appreciate that she's well-educated in dog behavior and even on different schools of training methods so she understands how I've taught him. At the same time, she doesn't try to impose training and instead focuses on a good experience for Niko. When I told her he has a sensitive stomach and can sometimes be reactive, she totally understood. And each time I've seen Niko after her walk he was calm and content. Lyuba is not only trustworthy and kind, she's very professional and a pleasure to communicate with. I've seen many dog walkers at my local park whom I wouldn't trust my little guy with but when it comes to Lyuba, I only wish she could hang out with him all day! I think my dog sees her as part of the family now. I can't recommend Lyuba enough.

I have known Lyuba both personally and professionally for almost 18 years. She was a student of mine and subsequently became a dear friend. Last month when I was in California, I had the opportunity to observe Lyuba for almost a week in her interactions with her pet, Darcy. Lyuba is an extremely dedicated pet parent and trainer. She takes her dog to the dog park daily and uses that time to reinforce the training done at home. She is patient and loving as well as persistent in her efforts with Darcy. I would entrust my dogs to her care without hesitation and would give her the highest recommendation whatsoever.
