Who is Olga Chaiko? Olga is the ultimate "dog person", she strikes a friendship with any dog, the shy, the aloof, and the wild. Amazingly the same happens with the human participants. Olga is a great teacher and never fails to communicate her message to each person for 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. No one leaves her lessons without a tangible improvement. Olga will aslo teach you skills that you can use at home to practice with, even if you only have a single jump. Olga has been involved in agility for over 11 years with her Canaan Dog ADCh Space and her Border Collie ADCh Luz, LAA-Platinum and multiple times Grand Prix and Steeplechase finalist. Olga and Luz represented the U.S. at the 2006 IFCS Championships and brought home five medals.
