Testimonials
Gabby with Perspective K-9 has been the best thing we could have done for our 4 year old reactive Australian Shepherd. He was incredibly dog reactive on and off leash and is very weary of strangers, but when Gabby came over to do a consultation for us, her calm and comfortable energy won him over and had him in her lap for love and kisses.
Not only is she amazing at reading a dog’s energy and making them comfortable, but she has been the best trainer we have ever worked with (and we have worked with multiple). She taught us how to make our dog more comfortable meeting new dogs and navigating new environments by using her own well trained dogs. Gabby gave us the tools and training to help correct his behavior that shows actual lasting results.
Her board and train program is also the best peace of mind whenever we have to travel and can’t bring our dog with. She does a fantastic job making him comfortable in her home and continues his training so he gets to have fun by playing with her dogs that he loves AND he gets to use his Aussie brain with special training sessions. The best part is that she creates a Dropbox with photos and videos of your dog enjoying his or her own vacation while you’re away so you can see how much love and attention they get.
We will gladly be her clients for our dog and making his life the best it can be

We reached out to Gabby at Perspective K-9 regarding some reactivity issues we were having with our American Staffordshire Terrier, Luna. Gabby was very helpful with confidence building for both Luna & myself. Luna is thriving & consistently showing improvements as we continue to work with her. Dog training is definitely not a one & done deal, we consistently work with Luna & we have tips to work through any unforeseen reactions that we learned in our lessons. & Gabby still checks in periodically or allows us to reach out if we have any concerns. 🙂

I could not think of a better person to send my dog to than Gabby. She truly cares about you and your dog and will give you all the tools you need to be successful!! After rescuing my 2 year old GSD, I quickly found out she was fear reactive and had no leash training. After training sessions with Gabby, my Nala walks great on her leash and has improved immensely when it comes to reacting to other dogs. We can now enjoy long walks together without worrying about a big reaction! If you want a trainer who cares about you and your dog’s experience, go to Gabby!!

About the Trainer
Psychology K-9 is a dog training business based in Raleigh, NC, led by Gabrielle, a certified dog obedience trainer who began her career at Tranquil Dog Training and earned her certificate from the Animal Behavioral College. She offers personalized training programs for dogs of all ages and breeds, focusing on building strong owner-dog relationships through tailored methods that adapt to each dog’s unique learning style. Services include private in-home lessons, board-and-train programs, and hybrid options that combine both. Gabrielle specializes in behavioral modification for reactivity, fearfulness, and aggression, and provides ongoing support with check-ins and video documentation during boarding. She also offers pet boarding as part of her programs, where dogs stay in her home with structured training and playtime alongside her own dogs.
Her approach emphasizes calm, confident energy and uses a variety of training tools to find what works best for each dog, avoiding one-size-fits-all methods. Clients appreciate her hands-on, compassionate style, consistent communication, and the lasting results she achieves—even with challenging cases like reactive Australian Shepherds and fear-aggressive German Shepherds.
