Complete K-9 Academy, Inc.

Complete K-9 Academy offers two primary training formats: On Site private lessons and intensive Boot Camp board-and-train programs. All programs begin with a 2-hour on-site evaluation to assess the dog’s behavior and determine the best training path. Puppy Education is a one-time 1.5–2 hour session for puppies 6–13 weeks old. One on One Obedience provides weekly private lessons for dogs 13 weeks and older. Boot Camp is an intensive, short-term program (typically 1–2 weeks) where the dog stays at the facility and receives full-time training from Gaby. Behavior Rehabilitation is a specialized Boot Camp for aggression, fear, and anxiety. Problem Solving is available in both On Site and Boot Camp formats for persistent behavioral issues. All programs are custom-tailored, with no group classes.

Complete K-9 Academy, Inc. is a professional dog training facility owned and operated by Gabriela Gallas, who has been training dogs and their owners since 1999. Located on a 15-acre property in Myakka City, FL, the academy offers private, one-on-one training programs with no group classes, ensuring personalized attention for every dog. Training is delivered through two main formats: On Site lessons at the facility and intensive Boot Camp board-and-train programs. Gaby uses a balanced training method that combines positive reinforcement with corrections, emphasizing clear communication and pack leadership rather than food bribes. The facility also provides pet boarding, custom training equipment for sale, and behavioral rehabilitation for aggressive, anxious, or reactive dogs. Clients appreciate that Gaby personally handles all training—no assistants or staff are involved—and that results are achieved quickly with real-world applicability.

The academy specializes in solving deep-seated behavioral issues such as leash reactivity, aggression, excessive barking, and poor recall, with programs tailored to puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Dogs that complete training receive a certificate, public recognition on the website and social media, and ongoing owner education to maintain progress. The facility is described as clean, secure, and spacious, with ample room for dogs to exercise and train.

In addition to training, Complete K-9 Academy sells custom leashes, long lines, and training collars, and offers boarding services for dogs whose owners need temporary care.
