Alisa Sannikova is a trained animal behaviour scientist with the skills and experience to help your pet today.
I have over a decade of experience working with a diverse range of animal species, combined with a degree in zoology from the University of Sydney (B. Sc. Adv, Hons) and LLA Professional. My passion is in helping pets to live in harmony with their guardians and achieving effective and efficient behavioural change in a humane, enjoyable way. I use the latest scientific training methods to change animal behaviour for good – together, we can build strong habits for life, not mere ‘quick fixes’.
I currently provide my services for free to Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, and Eastern Suburbs Dog Training Club. I’m a committee member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers Australia, and I love expanding my understanding of behaviour and training for the benefit of my clients.
