GIFMAF Dog Psychology Center is a family-owned business founded by twin brothers Giann Manuel and Giann Carlos Siervo, who began training dogs fifteen years ago in Venezuela. They are dedicated to continuously expanding their knowledge to enhance the dog training experience, believing that dogs are as much a part of the family as humans are.

The center provides comprehensive dog training and boarding services, specializing in dog obedience, socialization, behavior modification, aggressive dog training, sports training, and law enforcement K9 training. Their unique approach involves intensive daily training programs designed to resolve root behavioral issues and build confidence in dogs.

Programs include full on-leash or off-leash obedience, daily private training sessions, and extensive socialization in various environments, including public places like malls and dog parks, and even a mini zoo at their Wesley Chapel location. They also offer fun activities like pool time at their Miami facility. Each program is personalized based on the dog’s behavior, temperament, breed, and relationship with the owner.

Owner involvement is a key component, with programs including private sessions for owners at pickup, follow-up training at home or in public places, and unlimited monthly group classes and alumni pack walks for long-term support. They also provide regular and structured boarding options, ensuring dogs are well-cared for and continue their training even when owners are away.

Accomplishments

The founders, Giann Manuel and Giann Carlos Siervo, have been training dogs for fifteen years, starting in Venezuela. They continued their education in canine training in Mexico and further broadened their knowledge in the United States, where they achieved numerous certifications and training classes. They have worked and trained in top kennels in Florida and traveled nationwide to continue their studies, earning recognition as highly respected trainers. They also mention having a “Cesar Millan Experience” as part of their training background.

How to Get Started!

To begin, clients are encouraged to browse the GIFMAF website to identify the program that aligns with their goals. They can then contact the center by phone, email, or by visiting their office. A consultation between a trainer and the dog may be scheduled to determine the most suitable package. Once the program is selected, the dog is booked, dates are reserved, and payment arrangements are made.
