Gabriela was so helpful with training our new dog Pepper. She was knowledgeable, patient, supportive and positive with her approach to Pepper's needs. Pepper was a scared and reactive stray dog we welcomed into our home a couple months ago. With Gabriela's help and guidance, along with reinforcement between appointments, Pepper is a now a member of our family who we all cuddle with and who makes us laugh every day. I highly recommend Gabriela!

Hiring Gabriela, High Five Dog Training was a great decision! I have two large dogs and there was resource guarding and bullying behavior in one; and the other barked all of the time. Gabriela worked with my dogs - and more importantly with me in my home. Both annoying behaviors have stopped, my dogs are more comfortable and well behaved - and I'm happier! Gabriela is a wonderful trainer - but of equal importance has so much specialized knowledge about dog behaviors, and available resources to assist. Thank you Gabriela!

Taking a moment to give an unabashed big thumbs up to Gabriela and our wonderful experience with her! Our new adoptee, Harriet the pit, needed some solid encouragement and confidence building so she can continue to live her new best life. Gabriela was full of knowledge every step of the way — she offered tangible tools and enthusiastic guidance to not only Harriet, but to us, so we can continue to build on our in-person sessions. Gabriela is not only a source of wisdom, but is also just a joy to spend time with: she’s funny, compassionate and the consummate professional. Highly recommend!

Gabriela was absolutely amazing with my new puppy Ruby! I love her use of force free, positive training, and I learned so much from her that I will carry with me as I continue to work with Ruby. She helped Ruby learn how to contain her overexcitement and be a polite, lovely little dog (along with many other skills). Ruby was always so excited to work with her, and I will definitely go back to Gabriela in the future with any additional training needs. 11/10 recommend!
