From lead pulling, jumping up & reactivity to calmness & reliable recall.

Based in Dolgellau, regularly working with clients across North & Mid Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire and the North West, with travel to other areas available by arrangement.

Reviews

“Our young Labrador Mac was a mad bundle before his two-week residential with Gabby. He came home so much better behaved, and Gabby helped us understand our role in building his confidence and better behaviour. She offered clear guidance and encouragement throughout. I’d recommend the residential to anyone with a dog with boundless energy that doesn’t listen!”

— Abigail Emma Bell

“We had a two-hour session and Pip walked wonderfully on the lead, with no pulling and hardly any reaction to other dogs. I learned a lot about relaxing on walks and noticing the signs before Pip blows up. Really enjoyed the session and would recommend anyone struggling with their dog to contact Gabby.”

— Debi Nicholls

“Had my first session with Gabby today and I’m already seeing a difference in Zeus, my GSD. The hints and tips have given me confidence, and I’ve found they make a vast difference. I would highly recommend Gabby K9s dog training.”

— Mike Wanderingdog

“I wasn’t sure about residential training, but he came back a completely different dog. He’s so calm and relaxed, doesn’t pull on the lead and actually listens to me. Taking him for a walk is a pleasure now. I know it’s a long process and I need to keep following everything I’ve learned so far.”

— Anya Wiercioch

“Absolutely loved our sessions with Gabby. She pinpointed problems straight away and helped us correct them. Walking our dog has become so much easier, and building a bond with him is just magical. The sessions were fun too, with new games to direct his attention. Thank you for helping us better understand our dog’s mind.”
