Animal Magnetism

This trainer was training a beautiful dog in Home Depot today. She was talking to some people while training the dog. The dog bumped her head by accident, and this trainer slammed the dog’s face down, he yelped in pain super loudly, pulled tight in the flat collar, got in the dog’s face angrily and yelled at him. The dog kept trying to pull his head up off the floor, and her foot on the leash kept his head and neck strained against the floor. The dog was obviously in pain and distressed. I have not worked with her myself, but clearly she does negative reinforcement training techniques. Negative reinforcement techniques are awful for the dog and they just make them scared of the handler and people in general. This dog was clearly scared and in pain. And he didn’t even do anything “bad”. (No

I am so glad we found Vanya. After we adopted our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, he had aniexty issues which gave us great cooncern about his transition into o ur family. She came to the house, trained us on how to work with is anxieties so that we better understand him. After 2 months, he has come a long way. He is now in is puppy playful mood and trust in us. I would definitely recommend her for dog behaviors.

Just had Vanya with Animal Magnetism to our house to do rattlesnake and toad avoidance training for our two dogs. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. The training was very quick and effective! I feel so much more comfortable knowing my dogs have been trained. I highly recommend her to anyone! Get your pets trained because rattlesnakes and toads can be fatal to pets and antivenom is like $1000 per vial (and most bites require more than one). Save money and your pet’s life with training!

Worked with Dr Vanya with my very specially stubborn Border Collie mix pup, many years ago. But she's always been the first person I reccomend to anyone with a dog (or animal!). She is professional, caring, funny, and whip-smart! I can still call or email with questions even for my other dog and she remembers me and is able to offer tips and suggestions. I will always be her client and reccomend her!

Vanya humanely trained all four of my dogs, individually, to avoid rattlers and Sonoran desert toads! And she did this at my patio, where they have all been bitten and poisoned! I can't recommend her more highly! Ten ⭐s
