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.

From the moment we brought our Chihuahua puppy home, we knew we wanted to invest in quality training—and we couldn’t have picked a better company than Canine Karma Training with Gaby. We started as private clients and eventually enrolled our puppy in the Board and Train program. It’s not often you see small breeds like Chihuahuas receiving formal training, but we wanted ours to break the stereotype of being aggressive or small dog with a big personality. Gaby completely understood that and worked with our puppy in a way that was effective, compassionate, and tailored to her and our family needs. I highly recommend Gaby and Canine Karma Training to anyone looking for a trainer who is not only skilled and reliable but also genuinely cares about each dog’s unique personality and potential. With love, Minnie and Family

We have been working with Gaby at Canine Karma Dog Training for the past two and a half years, ever since my puppy was just six months old, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, she showed incredible patience, care, and skill in guiding us through the training process. Thanks to her dedication, my puppy has grown into a well-behaved, happy, and confident dog, which has made our relationship so much more enjoyable and fulfilling. Over the past year, we’ve also entrusted Gaby with boarding my dog several times while we were traveling, and she has done a fantastic job each time. I never have to worry when my pup is with her—we know she is safe, loved, and well cared for. It gives us such peace of mind to have someone so reliable and trustworthy to count on. What we appreciate most about Gaby is not just her training expertise, but her ongoing support. She is always available for advice on how to reinforce the training at home, and her guidance has been invaluable. She genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and it shows in everything she does. We cannot recommend Gaby highly enough. She is professional, compassionate, and truly gifted at what she does. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog with love while also providing excellent training, Gaby is absolutely the best choice.

You can have complete peace of mind your dog is receiving the highest quality training available. Not only are they incredible skilled, but they also truly care for and love every dog in their care. That kind of dedication is priceless.

I have a Great Pyrenees who I wanted to have trained as my service dog, multiple other places told me his breed wouldn't allow him to be one and they did so successfully. I now have access to things I never dreamed possible, because they trained my dog. Which has allowed me access to restaurants, movies theaters, flights, and my classes. Along with any questions I have, I can text to them regarding training, diet, and even health. I have also boarded my service dog there when I need to go on short trips, I never worry about him because I know he's in great hands. If I ever miss him while he's being boarded, I know I can count on updates and photos while I'm gone. I can't recommend them enough.

My experience with Canine Karma Training has been exceptional. From the initial consultation to program completion, David, Isabela and their team of trainers have been nothing short of amazing. After filling out the online survey, I heard back from David within two days. We set up an initial call and within the first 30 minutes, David noted that the biggest issue was my dog and I's relationship and gave some steps to move forward prior to the training. After the phone call, I decided to do the 45 day board and train for Bert and it was worth it! Before training, Bert had some behavioral challenges especially with his confidence. The team at Canine Karma took their time to build his confidence, obedience and their overall relationship with him to get him to where he is now. They remained transparent throughout the whole process, answering any questions I may have had along the way, and sent updates with photos and videos from their various training sessions and field trips. The progress Bert made during his short time was impressive. He is now calmer, more focused, and listens attentively to commands. I can take him on adventures with me more easily knowing he won't bark or lunge at everything that may seem scary to him. The training allowed me to build a proper relationship with my dog, making life SOOO much easier. Even though Bert has now completed his program, I feel like I've been given the proper tools and education to further his training at home. Additionally, the ability to ask any questions and get support from David, Isabela, and the team even after completing the program is the best part. I highly recommend Canine Karma Training!
