Sessions with Ella are like having your own personal dog coach. She’s knowledgeable and understanding, patient and encouraging. Ollie began training at about six months old and at 10 months, needed major leg surgery. Early training proved invaluable in helping with his recovery because he’d already learned sit, stay, down, and most importantly, place, a spot where he was trained to go and stay indefinitely. It is a pleasure to refer friends (and strangers!) to Ella without reservation.

We were clueless when our Labrador puppy went through the land shark phase, bruising us at every chance he got and destroying a multitude of blankets and other odds and ends. Don't get me wrong, he was an absolute cutie, but he was also a bundle of energy we had no idea how to handle. We played fetch, tug and took him on run/walks to get his energy out but to no avail. That's when I found Gabriella's profile on Nextdoor - a dog whisperer one of the reviewers said, and I was immediately getting on the phone full of hope. Let me tell you, she far exceeded our expectations.
Gabriella came into the picture when our puppy was 4 months old and what's miraculous about her is that she immediately knew what we needed without ever describing it. We went through just 4 classes and our puppy was already meditating in his kennel (it was his favorite spot!) and we were understanding his needs so much better. Long story short - he is now 2 years old and routinely goes to his kennel in the garage when he wants to just chill, he follows commands like drop it, fetch, sit and place and he's like an angel around our new baby.
Gabriella is the dog whisperer, God's angel sent to make all doggies happy and much much more! You need her!

After a disastrous experience for one of our dogs with a well-known local trainer, we feel very fortunate to be able to work with Ella to train our two dogs. We needed help with a few different minor issues and one important one: reactivity towards other dogs.
Ella is working her magic on our dogs and us since we too, need to be trained. She is very respectful of our dogs’ individual personalities and tailors her approach to each one with kindness and patience. She listens to my concerns as a helicopter dog parent, but never loses sight of the endgame: helping my dogs be “socially acceptable” while preserving their spirit and personalities. We feel heard, helped and hopeful, and cannot recommend Ella enough.

If you need a dog trainer for any reason or challenge, I can guarantee you will be so grateful to have discovered Ella— she is known by many as the Dog Whisperer! From the beginning, she has the innate ability to connect with your dog, and she is a delight to work with.

The owner, Gabriella, really has a feel for dogs and knows exactly what to do. After one session with her, my dog was walking better on the leash and that was the main thing we were working on. Highly recommend her. She has worked with about five or six dogs in my neighborhood, and everybody was satisfied.

Dogs Don't Speak English. I can say many things about this beautiful talented, smart, and fantastic trainer, but I will spare you the incredible details of her ability to work with dogs. She changed our puppy forever in such a fabulous way! You can certainly entrust your fur baby with her for any type of training. She has so much patience and so much knowledge. She truly is the dog whisperer!
