I have a cockerpoo who is 1 year and 9 months old. We spoiled her beyond belief when my children and I first received her. However, after a few months, we began to see very clear indicators of aggression towards my family—including territoriality and a fear of sudden movements—which progressively worsened over time. At this point, I contacted Milena since I didn't think there was much more I could do because the aggression was out of hand. We discussed my dog's triggers at length and what we could do to change them in our initial session. I noticed a change in my dog even after our first session, all through sticking to boundaries and training in the home. Milena is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her to anybody who has any dog training issues, especially dogs with aggression. Milena is not just a dog trainer she has become a good friend and is available to answer questions any time of the day, nothing is a problem. More...

We approached Milena when we realized our cocker spaniel puppy could end up being quite a handful unless we laid some strong training foundations. Milena initially took the time to talk us through dog behavior and the ground rules to ensure our pup behaved. From the very first session it was clear these techniques worked as we watched Polly quickly pick up training cues and she was absolutely in love with Milena! We had a few different training sessions with Milena in different environments that would would encounter with Polly - this gave us the confidence to have her off the lead and helped us understand how to both keep Polly safe and let her have a lot of fun, as every puppy should! Polly is now one of the best behaved puppies our friends and family have encountered, best money we ever spent. More...

Our daschund suffered from separation anxiety, peeing in the house and he refused to walk with anyone else but his primary owner.

Milena didn’t just teach us techniques on how to deal with these issues, but she helped us understand why our dog is anxious. She talked us through all of his behaviour issues and helped us work out how we can help him become a calmer pup.

She also understood the breed and knew what techniques needed to be put in place for our dogs breed and personality. And not that, she is also a very kind and lovely person. Very easy to talk to and I will continue to keep in contact with her.

I would highly recommend her to anyone who is having behaviour issues. She has completely changed our dogs life for the better. More...

The trainer called Milena is a very competent professional who really helped me to deal with a very nervous rescue dog. Milena explained in simple terms what the problems were and how to deal with them, displaying patience and expertise. I believe the trainer has a unique and genuine understanding of dog behaviour which she is able to use to great advantage.
I was given simple but very useful exercises to practice with, which were not only helpful for the dog, but also gave me the confidence and understanding to continue the training myself. I thoroughly recommend the services of Dog Academy which have helped not only my dog but me too. More...

We used Dog Academy Surrey to train our very energetic pug puppy Yuna in November and were delighted with the results. We were really struggling with Yuna and Melina helped lay the foundations to improve her behavior. Fast forward 2 months and It’s like we have a completely different dog - a number of our friends have commented on how well behaved she is. We were not sure what to expect with the first session but Yuna took to Melina immediately, (as if by magic) - we knew right then that we had made the right choice. Not only was it an enjoyable experience for Yuna but we know that in Melina we also made a good friend. More...

Milena was professional, flexible, determined, thoughtful, friendly and a fantastic fount of knowlege on all things dog. Buzzby, Mat & I all learnt (and improved) a lot ... And we've got some great advice for the future. We'd definitely recommend Milena and already have! More...

Our whole family are very grateful to Milena for her fantastic knowledge and guidance, giving as much attention to how we interacted with our dog as training Luna herself. Milena was prompt and kind, and provided backup information about her methods. I would whole heartedly recommend Milena and we certainly benefited from the one - to - one support. More...

Very professional dog trainer! I’m so happy and thankful that Milena was training my dog ! She explained me a lot of things about dog behaviour - she has a huge knowledge in this field.
And what is a most important I can really see the results of our work .
And I’m sure I will book another level of training. More...

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU Milena. Together with my dogs we love you!! You know dogs behavior and psyche very well and you shared all your knowledge with me. You have opened my eyes to many things and now we are working on it to achieve success. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! More...

Thank you Magda, it was a pleasure working with you both. I miss you already 💚

Just wanted to say thank you! Milena is like a dog healer. I was considering rehoming my dog because of the destruction he caused every day. Pleased to say I’m back in love with my dog. K More...

Milena was incredibly patient, kind and supportive when it came to the training of my dog and working with me. She took in to account his health as well as his age and helped me by explaining each thing she was doing and reassuring me and him that we were doing great. She’s been nothing but a pleasure to work with, a vibrant spirit and I know if I ever have issues in the future that need addressing with my dog I can always count on her to be there. More...
