My principles

  • Fair to a dog

It's crucially important to understand your starting level to focus on realistic goals instead of setting a dog up to a failure.

  • Honest With you

To change a dog's behaviour, we often need to change ourselves. I will help you to change the way you communicate with your dog.

  • SUPPORTIVE TO EVERY TEAM THAT NEEDS MY HELP

I know how it feels when someone gives up on you. I know how it feels to give up on yourself. When we start working together, I do everything I can to help you reach your goals because I know you can.

Reviews

  • Luzia and Pike

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Jenya always listened to us when we had specific problems and questions and gave us exercises to work on them. Thanks to Jenya me and my lovely girl are walking side by side through the streets now :)

  • A curly-haired dog lying on a plush gray chair, resting its head on the seat cushion.

    Courtney and Olive

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Jenya is patient and communicative, and welcomed our young daughter's participation in the classes. She even scheduled a meetup with another dog owner in order to help work on Olive's reactive barking 🙏

  • A man dressed in winter gear, including a blue jacket, helmet, and ski goggles, is kneeling on snow in a snowy landscape, holding a chocolate Labrador puppy.

    Austin and Bailey

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I could not be happier that we found BOOPCAMP Dog School. Jenja is extremely knowledgable in numerous methods and immediately found the best ways to train our enthusiastic puppy. During each time we met she could identify the mood of the dog to tailor the session to optimize the training.

  • A dog lying on a gray couch inside a house, with a snowy outdoor scene visible through a glass sliding door in the background.

    Zhanna and Lasso

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I have a Doberman and it is a very clingy dog, which is very difficult to stay alone, and I could not leave him alone for 3(!!!) years and now finally after lessons with Jenya I can safely leave Lasso alone at home and go about my business knowing that he will not be nervous and barking. Also, thanks to advice from Jenya, Lasso has finally stopped pulling on the leash (which was not possible before with two kinologists).

  • A small brown dog with a fluffy tail and wearing a blue harness standing on a rocky riverside, smiling at the camera with a background of green trees and a river.

    Maryna and Fenya

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Fenya is 4 years old and I didn’t expect that such great results could be achieved in just a month. We enjoyed every lesson and worked diligently on our homework. Fenya and I began to understand each other better (I can’t explain it any other way 🙂 My delight knows no bounds, and we will be grateful to Zhenya for many years for helping us become happier 🙂

  • Tatyana and Nicole

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    An absolutely individual approach to each dog, from the largest to the smallest, based on their condition, which she recognizes literally in the first 20-30 minutes of communication with the animal. We received a lot of useful skills, advice and warmth from a very professional trainer and a wonderful person!

  • Happy yellow Labrador Retriever dog sitting on green grass, looking up at the camera with a pink tongue and black leash.

    Jakub and Ario

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Our dog did not feel comfortable in our new place after relocation to Switzerland… He was feeling unsafe and not confident enough. Jenya showed us many tricks and ways how to make Ario feel better 😊 What’s more – Jenya approaches every dog very professionally and individually as well as its owners. She has a lot of knowledge about dogs and can explain particular dog’s behavior. Jenya is very kind and fun person with a lot of patience.

  • A black French Bulldog with a pink stick in its mouth, sitting on a gray outdoor bench.

    Daria and Simon

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    In short: Jenya is an AMAZING dog trainer - the best with whom we had a chance to meet & work! She managed to build the bond & trust with Simon, which helped a lot during the training, carefully tailored all trainings to our and dog's needs adjusting the exercises and approach along the way whenever was needed, was very attentive to our asks and to Simon's behavior and reactions and always was there to support us when needed!

  • Black dog with tan markings on a grassy field, looking directly at the camera.

    Kate and Spot

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I would highly recommend Jenya. She has helped me and Spot so much. She is really easy to talk to and is incredibly knowledgeable.

FAQ

  • I have three main meeting points:

  • Until further notice, I don’t normally do home visits outside of the areas mentioned above. Exceptions are possible for a surcharge starting from CHF 50 per session. These surcharges will depend on my travelling distance. They won’t be low, I’m sorry. Examples: CHF 50 is for Oerlikon, CHF 100 for Altstetten and Kreis 1, CHF 150 for Enge and Manegg. If you live further away, drop me an email with your address to check the price.

  • Yes, I am fully certified to lead obligatory courses in the Canton of Zürich. When our training goals are reached, I will issue a certificate in your name.

  • Yes, I lead obligatory theory courses for new dog owners in English; and I also do examination. To check the details and book your slot, visit this page.

  • Yes. Dogs from the same household or dogs of your family and friends are welcome to join. We can discuss their communication and work on improving their relationship.

    Please, remember: if you have two dogs, and both need to go through compulsory training in the Canton of Zürich, we have to complete a necessary amount of session with each of them.

  • Yes. All family members and other people who regularly have contact with your dog are welcome to join us.

  • We will need a leash, collar or harness. Sometimes we may need a long leash (5 meters or longer, not a flexi leash). If anything else is needed, I will inform you prior to our session.

  • This is one of the hardest questions because it depends on many factors. Usually I make an estimation about that on our first online call, we may correct it on our first lesson or later.

    Every dog has their individual character, inborn predispositions and physical peculiarities. Every human needs their own time to process things and adjust to a new routine. Once we’ve started working together, new problems may arise or we notice already existing issues that seemed to be not as important before.

    I expect you to trust the process. Believe me, my goal is to help you as effective as I can.

  • We meet each other and decide whether we want to work together.

    I will ask you about your dog and your expectations from the training. It is also important for me to tell you how I work and what difficulties may arise on our way so that I’m sure we understand each other and you’re ready to make a change.

  • Yes! You can easily do it online by following the link in the confirmation email you received after scheduling. I ask you to cancel or reschedule our Private lessons (online and offline) at least 24 hours before the start. Otherwise I will have to charge it.

    P.S. I’m also a human, and I understand that you can wake up with a terrible headache or your dog may unexpectedly get sick. If this is an urgent and unexpected issue, please inform me ASAP, and we will reschedule the lesson with no charges.

    P.S.S. Group Courses (like Theory Course for new dog owners and a Theory Exam) have specific cancellation policy. Learn more here.

  • Yes, I understand that life can be unpredictable. If you need a refund, please inform me about it. Since I use an online banking system, I always have to deduct 5% of the purchase value from the refund amount to compensate for the processing fee.

    Refund is possible only for the lessons that haven’t been used (taken). Please bear in mind that all the lessons that were missed (scheduled and not canceled/rescheduled 24 hours in advance) are considered as used.

    If you need to request a refund for the lesson package, make sure to claim it before the certificate expires; otherwise, all the lessons included will be considered as used. You can check the expiration date in your email confirmation.

    Refund for an Intensive Training Program is calculated based on how many days have passed from the start of your package, plus on how many sessions have been used. Contact me for more information.

    Refund for Group Courses (like Theory Corse and Theory Exam) is possible with respect to the specific cancellation policy, learn more here.

  • Lessons can take place in English, Standard German and Russian. I am sorry, I do not speak Swiss German (yet).

    German is not my mother tongue so I will be making some grammar mistakes. I haven’t met people who had a problem with my German but I still think that I have to let you know in advance in case it’s a crucial thing for you.

  • My name often looks confusing for German-speakers. The first letter “J” sounds the same way it does in the following English words: juice, jelly, jam, joy.
