The Dog Mamaa
Downtown Toronto Dog Training
Positive reinforcement, personalized coaching, and ongoing support - no punishment, no force, just lasting change.
Living with a reactive, fearful, or aggressive dog can be stressful for both you and your dog - it doesn't have to stay that way. The Reactive Dog Rehab program focuses on real-world, indoor, and everyday situations where your dog struggles - from fear of visitors to resource guarding or noise reactivity. Using science-based, reward-focused methods, we create lasting calm and confidence without punishment or force.
Real Results for Reactive Dogs
"Gabrielle helped my dog overcome behavioral issues including reactivity towards other dogs. I've tried a few trainers in the past but have noticed a significant improvement in my dog's behavior thanks to Gabrielle's easy-to-follow methods. I loved that Gabrielle came directly to our neighborhood to work on my dog's triggers. She was also always available for follow-up questions."

Transformations That Last Beyond Training
We highly recommend Gabrielle for anyone who has a reactive dog and looking for a certified/experienced trainer specializing in reactivity. After completing the reactive dog rehab package with her, we’ve seen such a positive difference in Binou, and we truly appreciate Gabrielle’s compassionate and individualized approach to training. What stood out to us most was how patient she is, always meeting Binou exactly where he’s at, and tailoring the training plan to his specific needs. Unlike our previous experience with a different trainer, Gabrielle doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. She listened to all my concerns and equipped us with practical management techniques for navigating the challenges of city life with a reactive dog. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel much more confident with the tools and strategies we have in place. The session summaries Gabrielle sent after each lesson, along with the handouts, made the training process much more organized and less stressful. It was reassuring to have a clear roadmap for moving forward. I will definitely be booking more sessions to build on Binou’s progress.

Gabrielle was a phenomenal trainer. Very warm and patient with our dog Broly. She was very helpful with his puppy fundamentals and reactivity issues. She constantly checked in and very quickly became one of Brolys best friends. I cant recommend her more.

Shay & Norman
Had such an amazing experience with Gabby! She taught us the magic of clicker training and re direction and it has completely changed our walking experience! My dog can move through the world with much less anxiety and reactivity. She also provided many exercises that help my dog re direct his energy in many environments! Would highly recommend! We love you gabby 💜
Natasha & Momo
Highly recommend!
Gabrielle's personalized approach and intuitive guidance in reactive dog rehabilitation have greatly boosted both me and my pup Momo's confidence during our walks. With her kind support and extensive knowledge of dog behaviour, Momo has made remarkable progress. After completing five sessions, her training was able to significantly reduce his anxiety around triggers and decrease his overall reactivity.
Thank you again for your exceptional training services!
Mung & Ollie
I would highly recommend Gabrielle. We were sceptical at first as our min-pin/chihuahua is already 4 years old. Between this and the breed being known as high strung barkers, but we gave it a shot. Ollie is now much better behaved and much quieter. And Gabrielle is a sweetheart. A pleasure to know her. A big thank you!!
