Gabriela is truly amazing! She’s an expert when it comes to aggressive dog behavior. We’ve been working with her for a few months now and my dog has changed drastically. I’m so thankful to have connected with Gabriela.

We had a great experience. Our little aggressive/fearful dog has improved SO much since we started working with Gabriella. We really believe in force free training and we know it works... it just takes some learning and some work. It really builds a strong bond between people and their furry friends. Gabriella is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. She listened to us and focused on our needs. So glad we found High Five Dog Training!

Gabriela was amazing to work with. Our dog had previously been through e-collar training, and after some time we found that she was not receptive to commands and was generally scared a lot of the time. That’s when we contacted Gabriela, and we are so thankful we did. Gabriela was patient and made all of the learnings very positive and easy for our dog and us to understand. Just a couple of months after starting the training, our dog has astronomically more confidence and seems to be enjoying life a lot more, as Gabriela helped us to identify her triggers and work through them. We’re so appreciative of Gabriela. Now after just four training sessions, we have a toolbox of skills we can use for a lifetime.

Gabriela helped us through a very challenging situation with a rescue dog with serious anxiety issues. Our boy was afraid of strangers, reactive to dogs, overly protective of us, and his anxiety at times resolved through aggression. Gabriela helped him develop less problematic behaviors through training. More importantly, she helped us learn the importance of managing his environment to limit the triggers for his anxiety.
Gabriela is a fantastic trainer, and she helped us so much with our reactive dog! She clearly loves dogs, and really listens and gets to know you and your dog. She works with you to figure out what works best for your dog, and tailors everything to meet your dog's specific needs. Not everything works for every dog, and she truly understands that. I highly recommend High Five Dog Training!!
