About Ilya
Hi, I’m Ilya (he/him). I’m a compassionate positive reinforcement dog trainer and behavior consultant living in Los Angeles with my partner, toddler, and our dog Trixie.
I graduated with Honors from Jean Donaldson’s renowned Academy for Dog Trainers, where I studied learning theory, dog behavior, and force-free training methods. Before dog training, I was an ecologist and earned my PhD studying zebra behavior in the wild — so I’ve always been fascinated by how animals learn, communicate, and thrive when they feel safe.
I help families just like yours. Whether your dog is fearful or reactive, struggling with separation anxiety, navigating life with kids or a new baby, or you’re bringing home a new puppy, I’m here to support both of you with kind, effective, science-based tools.
I use only force-free, positive reinforcement methods — never fear, pain, shock collars, prongs, or any kind of force. I’ve seen firsthand how cookies, compassion, and responding to your dog's cues can transform a relationship with a dog. (I switched to force-free training with our own dog Hobbes years ago, and it completely changed our lives for the better.)
I believe in you and your dog. I know how stressful it can feel when things aren’t going smoothly at home, especially when you’re also juggling kids, work, and everything else life throws at you. That’s why I meet you exactly where you are, honor your goals, and celebrate every win along the way.
You’ll never be shamed or judged here. Whether you’re dealing with a dog who barks at strangers, struggles to be left alone, or needs help building confidence around children, I’m in your corner. My clients often tell me they finally feel understood and supported and that their dogs are happier and more relaxed than they’ve ever been.
I’m based in Los Angeles and work both in-person and virtually.

My goal is simple: help your dog feel safe, confident, and happy so your whole household can enjoy more peace and connection.
In a first session we begin assessing your dog’s behavior and your household goals. You’ll leave with a clear, customized plan you can start using right away.
From there, we work at a pace that fits your life and your dog’s needs — always with plenty of support, feedback, and encouragement along the way. My goal is simple: help your dog feel safe and confident so your whole household can enjoy more peace and connection.
