I went to a few different dog trainers before I stumbled upon Inna. The other trainers were either "balanced" trainers (e.g. some negative reinforcement), not very responsive, or parroted the same advice and I was feeling extremely stressed from raising a new puppy on my own. I took her puppy manners class and began emailing her with any related puppy questions and I cannot emphasize how much she has helped me with raising my puppy.

She really listens to the specifics of your situation and how you communicate with your puppy and tailors her advice to help. This is something that I did not get from other trainers. I definitely do not feel as overwhelmed as when I first brought my puppy home and I appreciate all the attention and help that Inna has given me. She really cares about her clients and their dogs and I am looking forward to taking more classes with her as my puppy grows.

Inna was an amazing teacher, would highly recommend anyone who has a dog with behavior issues to work with her.

Inna help me and my dog-aggressive pup on calming behaviors, muzzle training, and general recall. She is patient, kind, and super effective. I highly recommend her services!

Great, patient, calm dog training. We've had a few trainers in the past but thought the techniques we learned here were the most efficient, and to be honest even a little fun! We've noticed a definite difference in our pup's behavior/aggression.

Christina is amazing. I have a two cats fighting and we don't know if they will ever go back to be friends but having her help has been a big support all along. She always follow up on me and make sure to get updates. I totally suggest her 1000 times and more.

The pandemic hit in the middle of training and we had to do the majority of our training over Zoom - which our trainer Inna handled perfectly! Our puppy Dolly is so well behaved and sweet and Inna helped make that happen. She's super personable and gets to know you and your pup and how you interact, and she's fantastic at tailoring lessons to your specific needs/worries. Couldn't have asked for a better class, and we'd recommend it even during the quarantine!

Working with Inna has been a great experience! Our adopted dog Bonnie started having some behavior problems and aggression towards other dogs a few months after she came home. Through working with Inna we've learned to combat these issues and now feel like we have the skillset to continue training her on our own.
