Olga Chaiko

Olga has been dubbed a "Dog Whisperer," she strikes a friendship with any dog, the shy, the aloof, and the wild.

Olga is a great teacher and never fails to communicate her message to each person to the full understanding, making people feel comfortable and relaxed. Olga is famous for her sense of humor, her instruction is electrifying and lighthearted, you will laugh your way through the tough courses and your dog will smile with you.

Olga presents unique techniques and solutions that are devised and tailored to each individual dog/handler team right there and then. No one leaves her classes without a big improvement.

Olga hails from Russia, a country where dog sports have always been popular. Ever since she was a child, she was obsessed with dogs, spending her play time with a horde of city strays, teaching them tricks and giving them food and affection. One such stray mixed breed, July, was finally allowed by Olga's parents to become her dog. Olga trained little July to the highest level of competitive Obedience, only to discover that mixed breeds were not eligible to compete. On her 13th birthday, Olga's grandmother gave her a Scotch Collie (farm collie) puppy, Al Gre Ringo, and Olga went on to compete and win in Obedience, Schutzhund, Tracking, Conformation, Summer Combined and Winter Combined on the National level.

Olga lives in Los Angeles, CA and competes in Agility, Flyball and Herding. She currently has two dogs, a Canaan Dog, Space (the first and only Canaan Dog to ever earn an ADCH title), and a Border Collie, Luz. Here is a summery of their recent achievements:
