About the Trainer
High Five Dog Training, LLC, led by Gabriela Hubbard (CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA), offers force-free, reward-based dog training. They work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, from new puppies needing housetraining to adult dogs exhibiting shyness, fear, reactivity, or aggression.

The business provides in-home and virtual training options with flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend hours. They offer discounted three-session packages, and each session includes a follow-up email with additional links, handouts, and recommendations.
High Five Dog Training specializes in addressing complex behaviors such as dog aggression (including “stranger danger,” resource guarding, and multi-dog household dynamics) and separation anxiety (isolation distress, frustration, FOMO, excessive barking when alone). Their training principles emphasize force-free methods, positive reinforcement, and recognizing each dog as a unique individual requiring tailored sessions.
