About Canine Karma Dog Training

Canine Karma Training is THE original "Relationship-Based Dog Training" program. We have a truly unique approach, as our program is focused on the relationship between the dog and owner, because relationship is everything. "Relationship dictates behavior and obedience, not repetition." Whether or not your dog listens to you or behaves for you is purely based on the relationship you have with them. You don't get an "obedient" dog from endless hours of working on basic commands (sit, down, come). We focus on educating our clients in order to create a much more knowledgable and capable owner. The relationship we build for you results in: a dramatically easier, well-behaved, and obedient dog, that you'll enjoy for the rest of their life.

Truly amazing training& care, developing trust with each dog, building dog’s confidence and minimizing any nervousness at being away from home.

Our 1yr old puppy Luna went to Isabela and David with serious anxiety and confidence issues, and the transformation has been incredible. From the very beginning, they kept us updated with progress reports and videos, showing the care and attention they put into her training. We’ve seen both her confidence grow and her obedience improve tremendously. Luna can now stay calmly in place even when our toddler is running around, something that felt impossible before! It’s clear they truly understand dogs and want to set both pups and owners up for success.

I recommend Dave and Isabella to everyone who asks. They are very passionate and amazing with dogs. My rescue had been trained by several other trainers and not until Dave and Isabella gave him a chance did he really thrive. He’s a nervous and anxious rescue and has had some crazy experiences to where I wasn’t even taking him out in public anymore. The vets had him on Prozac and it wasn’t helping, but I also was scared to take him off thinking he would be worse. I had my own setbacks with his training prior to Dave and Isabella and this was really my last hope for Bailey. He was with them for almost 6 weeks due to lack of crate training and aggression, but now that I have had him back for a few months he is like night and day. Everyone who saw him before and then now is so impressed. All he needed was some patience and understanding and the ability to be trained the way he needed. I needed and lot of training as well. He isn’t perfect due to certain circumstances, but he is the sweetest dog and he is able to enjoy life a lot more now and I learned to trust the process as well as myself when handling him. He is no longer on Prozac and able to enjoy life and the boy loves working for treats.

Dave and Isabela are the real deal. They pour their heart and soul into the dogs and clients they work with and it shows in everything they do. Their dedication to clarity, education, and true progress sets them apart in a big way. I’ve worked with Isabela on the nutrition side of things for my own dogs, and her knowledge is next-level. She’s kind, patient, and genuinely invested in helping owners understand how to level up their dog’s meals, whether it’s transitioning away from kibble, understanding how to feed raw, or enhancing what you’re already feeding. They don’t just train dogs they build relationships, educate owners, and advocate for long-term success. Highly, highly recommend connecting with them if you want trainers who truly care and actually know their craft.

Gabby is simply amazing. She is like a guardian angel to myself and my dog Cali. She is so patient, kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Her training style is firm but nurturing and my dog responds so well to her. In addition to training Gabby provides boarding for my pup which keeps her in the same type of environment that she is at home. My heart is at ease every time I drop Cali off and she pays me no mind rushing to go to Gabby. If you’re looking for an amazing compassionate trainer who not only has the knowledge but the passion for dogs Gabby is your person. If I could gate keep her I would because the selfish part of me would love to keep her all to ourselves.
