In-Person & Virtual Consultations & Training
During our virtual or in-person sessions I will show you how to read your dog's body language and to respect canine communication, and I will guide you through the steps to solve your dog's behavior issue using effective and humane modern techniques based on behavioural science and positive reinforcement.
I can help you address such issues as loose leash walking, recall training, separation anxiety, aggression and fears (food guarding, barking and lunging at dogs or people, etc.), introducing a new dog if you already have one, and other issues that prevent you from fully enjoying your life together.
I believe in training without intimidation and do not use any traumatising methods or equipment. I advocate a reward-based and force-free training approach.

60 € per consultation

* 10 € less for Zoom meetings

Professional advice on choosing a right fit dog
Ready to adopt and wondering if a malinois, a husky or a bully-mixed rescue dog is a better fit for you and your family?
Let me show you that there is always more to a dog than its breed DNA suggests.
We will discuss your family situation and life style, define which traits you are looking for in your perfect dog companion and narrow down your choices. I will explain the potential risks and needs associated with your preferred breeds (if any) and help you identify the right match. Together we will determine the small changes that you might have to integrate into your life to ensure a smooth introduction of your new family member.

40 € per Zoom consultation (~1.5 h)



Coaching re newly adopted puppy or adult dog
Everything you need to know to prepare for a new dog in your house. Optional follow-up monthly subscription to have all of your everyday questions answered and myths debunked.
Please note: full behaviour modification consultations are not included as they require more time and work. Please refer to In-Person & Virtual Consultations for solving problematic behaviour issues. However, I will surely help you with all minor issues and help you prevent them.

40 € for one-hour Zoom meeting

40 € / follow-up monthly subscription for Q&A via chat application, with up to 5 questions per day (excl. Sundays)

First Consultation
During our initial consultation (virtual or at your home) I will clarify the necessary details, explain all possible causes of the problem and answer your questions. Together we will establish a training plan suitable for you and your situation, I will demonstrate and explain the exercises to work on. You will also receive my recommendations by e-mail after the meeting.
Happier Human-Dog Relationship
The complexity of the situation and your progress with the exercises determines how many sessions are necessary to achieve the desired outcome. The road to success is not always straight, and I am here to guide you through each step to ensure that you and your dog enjoy a happier life together.

Philosophy
When I think about the relationship between a human and their dog, a single word comes to mind - RESPECT.

Respecting a dog's needs and providing meaningful choice opportunities creates a bond between a human and their dog and plays a key role in diminishing undesirable behaviour manifestations.
Ultimately, mutual respect translates into truly enjoyable relationship.

Meaningful change in your dog's behaviour starts with change in yours. That is why my work is focused not on training your dog for you, but on enabling you to do it by yourself. I will equip you with all the necessary tools and guide you through the steps to train your dog and solve your problem.

My job is to help you create an environment where both you and your dog can thrive and succeed.
About
Elena Panteleeva

Sobaki is a behaviour consulting project that was created out of passion for animals' welfare combined with scientific curiosity. The adoption of an adult dog from a shelter in 2014 introduced me to the world of behaviour and ethology, and gradually led me to re-orienting my life from pursuing a business career in change management towards educating humans to understand and respect their non-human companions and changing the way their relationship evolves. Our experiences constantly shape who we are, and as my business career taught me to dare, I set myself on an equally challenging and fascinating path of dog behaviour consulting. I strongly believe in the power of life-long education and see my mission in passing my constantly growing knowledge to my clients.
