Testimonials

We had such a great experience working with Gabriela at High Five Dog Training! She helped us better understand our puppy’s behavior and needs, which made a huge difference in our daily routine. Our pug is full of energy, and Gabriela gave us practical training techniques and recommended great products that really helped manage that energy in a positive way. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does. Highly recommend her to any new puppy parents!

Gabriela was fantastic. She uses positive reinforcement methods and has a natural way with dogs – she genuinely connected with ours. Our training sessions were efficient and productive, without any fluff or wasted time. She also provides lots of helpful resources and information to support the training at home. She’s friendly and easy to work with, and we saw progress quickly. Highly recommend!

Gabriela was extremely helpful with our dogs. She taught us a lot and we were able to have our dogs engage with one another with her guidance. Gabriela met us at our comfortably level and guided us with her expertise on how to grow our dogs confidence which lead to us successfully getting our dogs together. Would definitely recommend her services. She was punctual and respectful. Thanks Gabriela!
