Durdica was fantastic with Seamus. He is 6 months and wants to pull on the lead constantly. She helped me understand how to stop that and to feel comfortable taking him off the lead. I can tell a difference in Seamus already and understand what I can do differently. She is a dog guru for sure. More...

We’ve had a couple of training sessions, both in the park and at home, and the results have been immediate. The approach is thorough, clear, and calm, with every step explained in detail so we can confidently put it into practice. We’re already seeing remarkable changes, and we’ll continue with training so we can keep learning alongside our pup. Highly recommended for any dog training needs — clearly very experienced in puppy and dog handling. I should also mention we’ve only had our pup for two weeks, and before that she was free to roam the beaches of Sri Lanka. Truly amazing training. More...

She is fantastic! She took 30 minutes over the phone to give advice and answer all my questions. And during her visit, she really did an amazing job. A true professional with a great attitude. Thank you More...
Angela
Durdica is amazing, and most of all honest, with knowledge and she truly loves what she does.
She firstly helped me last year with my 4months old Puppy and that really was huge for me as I was totally in dark being a first time parent and had tried with a couple of other trainers before her, without getting more results.
Now my boy is 18month old and he has “problems” with the hoover as well as being too jumpy when visitors come home.
And Durdica helped out again with tactics she thought me that seemed to work almost straight away with my boy.
Clearly I have to continue with it every day on my own, but I know she’s always a text or a call away, should I need a refresh or an advice.
I would highly recommend Durdica if you are in need of training for your pooch.
You won’t regret it 👍🏻

Julia is a natural with dogs no matter the dogs personality. She’s helped me so much to build confidence in my 7 month old super anxious King Shepherd, Gena.
I recommend Julia to anyone requiring dog training guidance of any kind

Dog Training
I was really struggling with my dog’s constant barking, and it was starting to feel overwhelming. However, after working with Durdica, I’ve seen a massive improvement. Even after just the first lesson, my dog stopped barking and the change has been incredible. I’m so happy with the progress we’ve made, and Durdica has truly made a positive difference in our lives. It’s made everything so much easier, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help! More...

I’ve recently adopted a completely adorable but untrained 18 month old Pomeranian and needed some help.After only two sessions there’s huge improvement,Durdica really knows her stuff and is training both of us to behave correctly.I highly recommend her.

Durdica Svogor is really knows a lot about dogs and quickly helped me to get to know and understand my dog Luna even more.
Before I found Durdica Svogor I felt that Luna was getting out of hand as she wouldn't listen to me when she saw other dogs. Luna would bark and jump about non-stop to try and play with the other dog.
Now Luna is clam around other dogs and listens to me all the time now.
Thank you Durdica Svogor for all your hard work.

Durdica was great, we have a Labrador puppy that had found his bark and has a bag full of energy, she helped us manage his loud behaviours and teach him some fundamental obedience. Within an hour i felt like we achieved so much it was unbelievable More...

Durdica is an amazing dog trainer - she helped with loose lead walking on our first session, and has given so many useful advice on how to engage and communicate with my puppy. She is very experienced, patient and very clear and with her communication and expectation. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for 1-1 dog training sessions! More...

Durdica is a lovely lady, very knowledgeable and a natural with dogs! We have just started working with her, have had 2 sessions and have already seen an improvement, even after the first session! She explains things in an encouraging way and has helped both myself and my daughter with training techniques and engaging with our puppy in a way that brings out the best in him. We will continue to work with her and highly recommend! More...

Durdica was so knowledgeable and really guided us on how to approach Archie's problems. The moment she walked into the door, she knew exactly how to act around Archie in a way he wouldn't feel threatened. Cannot recommend enough!

Linda
Dog Training
Durdica has been our trainer for several months now. We have a Malinois, her name is Haley. As most people know, Malis are incredibly active, highly intelligent dogs that require constant training. To boost, Haley is also a rescue. Haley’s transformation under Durdica’s expert training is nothing short of a miracle! She has been absolutely fantastic and not only she trained our dog in an incredibly professional way, she also taught us all the relevant skills to replicate what she does. The result is a very content and obedient dog and super happy owners. Can’t recommend Durdica highly enough! More...

Melina
Dog Training
Julia was just absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and kind, helped us to manage to introduce a new puppy to our older dog who is very selfish and dominant, she brought up the “good boy” side of him near the puppy and showed us a glimpse of hope that they will get along well in the near future. She was so caring, always texting me to make sure that everything was going well… Would highly recommend Julia a 100% and hirer her anytime I feel is needed. She is so far the best dog trainer I ever met. Thanks julia, pip and paco enjoyed their time with you xx More...

Durdica came round to help me with harness training as my puppy wouldn’t let me put it on him or take him on walks! She taught me tips and tricks to get him comfortable wearing the harness! In our one hour session he was wearing his harness…and I know how to work with him to continue to get him comfortable with it! I’ll be calling her for all future needs! More...

Fabián Volpe
I recently had the pleasure of working with Durdica and I wanted to share my review of her service. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog training.
First and foremost, the trainer was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She had a deep understanding of dog behavior and was able to explain concepts and techniques in a way that was easy to understand. She was also able to tailor the training methods to suit my dog's specific needs and personality, which I really appreciated.
She was also very patient and understanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns and address any questions or issues I had. She never made me feel rushed or dismissed my concerns, which made me feel valued as a client.
During the training sessions, she was always professional and punctual. She came prepared with a variety of training tools and resources, and was able to effectively demonstrate and guide me through each exercise. She also provided clear and concise instructions, making it easy for me to practice the training techniques on my own.
Thank you Durdica for your amazing job! Uncle Marcolino loves you.

Took Mochi to his first ever training and it was great! Straight away Durdica knew what his problem was and we was working on to address that. Couldn't believe the changes in 1 session could do. Definitely would recommend Durdica! More...
Gail
Dog Training
From the first time I met her she was very friendly and calm in her approach to me and my puppy. Without you been aware she is evaluating what your dog needs and provides instructions on how to assist these in an instructive but easy to follow manner. Best thing I did for my dogs behaviour at present and for the future More...
Sean
She was incredible with both Boo and us. My partner was particularly anxious due to a lack of experience with dogs. She made us both us more comfortable and confident.
Mark Ali
Dog Training
Simply brilliant. She gave me a lot of time and advice on the phone before we met and then she stayed for at least 30 mins extra and refused to take payment for her extra time. In fact, we walked around the crescent with my 8 week old pup and she told me many wisdoms in this time. Cannot speak highly enough of how useful and helpful she was to me and my pup. More...

Julia was great at helping me with Cosmo’s recall. Cosmo responded really well to her and had a great time due to all the positive reinforcement.
Jacqueline Grant
Dog Training
Durdica was able to address all the concerns i had about my puppy, Teddy. She provide direct, hands on support in my home that was both valuable and intuitive. She demonstrated how best to deal with some of the early challenges I am facing with Teddy, that included silent commands, the clever use of treats to supplement training, how to use the leash within the home environment to address bad behaviour. It was a pleasure to work with her and am looking forward to doing further work with her her when my puppy is ready to go to the park in a few weeks time. More...
