FirstBarkGabriella is very attentive and provided training that is reward based and not punitive. This has been in issue with past training that did more damage to our boy. Gabriella has a very therapeutic approach to you personally and clearly knows animal psychology.

We love Gabriela and would highly recommend. She knows dogs, and she will get to know YOUR dog. She has so much theory and practice to draw from to tailor what your dog is showing he needs. Every session will come with follow up notes and resources and as many phone calls as you need in between sessions. She helped us integrate a newly adopted one year old dog who was decompressing, integrating and needed to learn how to be in a family in a home. All the things!
i could not be happy with gabriela as a dog trainer. she thoroughly explained her process and followed up each session with a multi-page assessment and resources to enforce her approach. my dog billie has come a long way thanks to high five dog training.
She was amazing! Wish we could have stayed with her longer but she knows her stuff. My labrador has a long way to go but we are beginning to be on the right track.
Gabriela was great. She provided very practical lessons for my 7-month old puppy. Her expertise and knowledge are impressive. Her training instructions were backed up with explanations about dog behaviors which really clarified why my dog was behaving a certain way and I was able to use that knowledge to get the behavior I want! Can't recommend her enough!
