I could not recommend Gabriela enough as a trainer! In just three lessons, my shy doggie went from barking at Gabriela when she entered the apartment to saying hi to her with a tail wag and a little jump. I feel so grateful to have learned so much from Gabriela — I feel way better equipped as a dog owner, because I'm able to better read my dog's communication signals, understand what her triggers are, and do all that I can to facilitate her living a less anxious, fearful, shy life. Gabriela knows her stuff, is extremely thoughtful, and treats her clients (both human and canine) with respect and empathy. Thank you for working with us, Gabriela!

Gabriela is amazing! She does an amazing g job explaining the psychology of the training for both you and your dog. We will continue to use her services and cannot recommend enough. We have done board and train for previous dogs however really like her positive reinforcement training.

5/5

We have talked to several trainers in the area and High Five Dog Training is the absolute best. Gabriela is responsive, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. In our first session she spent the time to learn about our dog and her needs, offering support and advice throughout. The personalized attention and care makes a huge difference and we couldn't be happier!

Gabriella was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and passionate about working with pups. We came to her for help with our 8-month-old rescue dog who was dealing with separation anxiety and some, erm, rambunctious behavior (bye-bye shoes!). Gabriella maintained a positive and growth-oriented mindset and immediately put us and our doggo at ease - we are first-time puppy parents! She did a great job answering our questions, but also consistently took the time to investigate and get to the root of our concerns. We feel much more empowered and excited - would highly recommend!

We worked with Gabriela at High Five Dog Training when adopting our first family dog. Our pup was an overseas rescue and so we had to work through some trauma, her first time ever being in a home with kids, new sights, sounds, etc. Gabriela was so wonderful helping us navigate all of the "firsts" for us and our dog, all in a positive and encouraging way. We are so grateful for her guidance and couldn't be happier with our experience.
