We still have a way to go with Pongo, but not as far as we've come. Thanks to Gabriela, our lovable, infuriating furry friend is a manageable handful.

Gabriela is wonderful with both dogs + humans of all ages. She offers tons of useful, evidence-backed training advice for our hyper-social labradoodle “teen” (1+ year old) — including homework, extra tips + tricks + games, and suggestions for training treats + toys. Her positive-reinforcement-based training methods really do work — and the relationship that they have helped build between us and our dog has grown stronger as a result. Gabriela knows a huge amount about dogs, dog brain science, and dog brain development (e.g. puppies’ growing brains, rewiring entrenched patterns in puppies and older dogs, etc.) and she is generous with her knowledge + her time. 110% recommend!

Gabriela worked with our rescued shepherd mix to prepare for our new baby and we couldn't recommend her enough. She has helped us understand our dog so much more and has given us so many tools to use now that our baby is actually here. In addition to giving us exercises to work on until the next session, Gabriela provided us with other materials to read and watch (which are now super helpful to reference as we continue training on our own), and dog treats and toy recommendations specifically for our dog. She is a wealth of information and incredibly generous with her time!
We’re so happy with the training we got with Gabriela. We originally reached out for support introducing a baby into our home of two dogs, but she also helped with lots of other dog training needs. She is no-nonsense and clearly cares about the well being of dogs. So glad we found her!
We had a great experience with Gabriela and highly recommend her. We learned a lot, and her approachable style made it easy for us to implement the training on our own after our sessions were done.
