Even though I’ve known Elizaveta for some time, I’ll admit I was still a little nervous — not about her, but about how my dog would feel going into the ring with someone new. Belgian Malinois don’t hand out trust easily, and I wondered how that transition would go. After the very first time they went into the ring together, I had my answer. The connection was there. My dog was calm, confident, and genuinely happy, and I knew without hesitation that I could leave her in Elizaveta’s hands and not worry. Elizaveta has a confident, thoughtful presence that dogs deeply feel. She brings out the best in them through patience, kindness, and true partnership, and it shows in the way they work together. She speaks dog. As a fellow Ukrainian, it means so much to support Ukrainian quality and talent. There is heart, integrity, and pride in everything Elizaveta does. 💙💛 I wholeheartedly recommend her and am incredibly grateful for the care she showed my girl.
Liza has been an excellent resource in learning how to handle a dog for exhibition in conformation. She wants you and your dog to be successful, and is great at demonstrating skills necessary to be a great team.
Liza is a wonderful trainer! I’ve been working with her since my puppy came home, and she has taught me all there is to know about the dog show world, and how to successfully handle my dog in the conformation ring. We have also trained obedience and various dog sports together, and because of her I have a wonderful all around successful dog!
I’ve been working with Liza for a year now. I had been showing dogs but was still relatively new to the show world. In less than a year we got my puppy’s AKC conformation championship. She knows what she is doing when it comes to dogs and I cannot recommend her enough!
Liza is an incredibly talented dog trainer, show & performance handler plus a sensational canine photographer! Highly recommend her to everyone looking for a kind, experienced and multifaceted trainer!
