Marius Dubosas
With over 15 years of dog training experience with a strong background shaped by his service in a specialised military canine unit, Marius brings discipline, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behaviour to every training session. With particular expertise in protection work and developing a dog’s natural drives, Marius focuses on building clear communication, structure, and trust between dogs and their owners.
Meet Marius
My journey with dogs started early and was later shaped during my military service in a specialised canine unit. That experience gave me a calm, observant approach to training and a strong ability to read canine behaviour, even in everyday situations.
I hold a Grade A Helper qualification and have competed in dog sport at both national and club level. Through this experience, I’ve learned that the best results come from clear structure, trust, and a strong relationship between dog and owner. I always start by understanding what you want to achieve with your dog, then break the training down into clear, manageable steps that fit into real life.
My military background brings discipline, patience, and respect to every session. I have a particular strength in protection work and understanding a dog’s natural drives, while always balancing this with control, calmness, and relationship. I’m fluent in Lithuanian and Russian, which allows me to work with a wide range of clients, helping owners build confident, trusting partnerships with their dogs that last well beyond the training sessions.
Training Technique
Marius’s training is built on structure, clear communication, and trust. Drawing on his background in working dogs and dog sport, he helps dogs understand what’s expected of them while strengthening the relationship with their owner. Each session is adapted to the individual dog, so progress feels steady, achievable, and rewarding.
