Veronika Voitovska: zoopsychologist and dog handler expert
Hello, I am a zoopsychologist and dog handler expert. I provide behavioral assistance to dogs and their owners using humane methods. I work online, which means I can help you even if you are in another corner of the globe.
I am Veronika Voitovska: zoopsychologist, dog handler expert, doctor by education and the owner of a large kennel where 15 adult dogs of the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Bully breeds live. I have been working with dogs for over 15 years: from raising and training puppies to participating in and judging competitions and exhibitions.
My specialization is dog behavior: from puppies to adult individuals with a difficult past. I help owners establish relationships with their pets and learn to «speak the same language».
How can I help
aggression towards people and animals, resource protection;
fears, anxiety, phobias, moving, visits to the vet;
«street reactivity»: barking and lunging during a walk;
destructive behavior at home, barking, marking;
socialization of puppies, raising a family with children;
My approach to zoopsychology:
Only humane, scientifically proven methods — without pain and intimidation. I will say right away — pain and oppression of a dog practically does not affect them in terms of positive dynamics. The use of such methods is generally inappropriate in 90% of cases.
I use knowledge of zoopsychology, veterinary science and medicine for a comprehensive understanding of the dog.
Experience of daily life with a large number of dogs in a kennel allows me to see behavior not «in theory», but in real practice.
I am constantly improving my skills: seminars on zoopsychology, sports training, canistherapy, modern teaching methods.
How the work goes
1. You describe your dog’s behavior, what worries you, what seems wrong to you. Send me videos that I will tell you. At this stage, we find out the problem and goals.
2. Then we call each other by video link and work through the whole problem. We outline an action plan for the next 2-4 weeks. The video conference lasts at least half an hour. The first video conference usually takes 1-2 hours.
3. Individual plan for 2-4 weeks: exercises, adjustments to routine. During this time, you keep and record all changes in the dog in notes and on video. Send me reports, I analyze.
4. Repeated video conference after a certain time, if necessary.
The formats of consultations on zoopsychology that I offer:
Online consultations (video communication) — convenient from any country.
Family activities — so that all family members understand the dog equally.
Why do people trust me in zoopsychology and cynology:
More than 15 years of practice with dogs of different temperaments and levels of training.
Expert experience: judge of competitions and exhibitions.
Owner of a kennel, where 15 dogs are raised and live every day.
Medical education — I see not only psychology, but also the health of the dog.
International seminars and constant development in the profession.
Result
The dog becomes predictable and calm, the owner — confident and understanding. Your life together is built on trust, not on struggle. In general, we often discuss along the way not only issues of zoopsychology, but also cynology, veterinary medicine. I have a lot of experience in dog breeding in general, so I understand that absolutely everything is interconnected and affects the behavior and reactions of any dog.
