This is the second dog that Gabby has trained for me. The first one remains kind and obedient. The current puppy is bigger and stronger. Gabby took the time to learn what makes this dog tick. He did the on-site boot camp where they board your dog. My dog came back well mannered and obedient. He is now happy to work with me on his training sessions. I would highly recommend her!! read more

Complete K9 Academy changed our lives! Gaby taught us just as much as our German Shepherd. He went from a highly reactive dog to one who is content and obeys the rules. We now don't have to worry about taking him on walks and him dragging us down the street. I highly recommend Gaby at Complete K9. read more

I can not tell you how happy I am that I chose Gaby to train my do Shadrach! She is amazing and the training is worth every penny. We went to see Gaby before moving from Tampa to New York city. I was worried about Shadrach's manners and ability to adjust to a new living environment. We went to meet Gaby at her home/ training facility and after assessing Shadrach, she recommended a complete training program with some behavioral rehabilitation with some follow up training sessions for me. I dropped him off for 10 days and when I got him back, he was my same sweet loving dog, but just a better version of himself; well behaved, less anxious. In my sessions with Gaby and Shadrach, she taught me all the commands and gave me insight into how she taught him. She made sure I felt confident in his new commands and training. Now, 6 months later, he is such a pleasure to take out, to walk, to be around my friends and family. I get so many compliments on his behavior. He is not always perfect, but he is close. And when he is not, I feel like I now know how to correct him in a meaningful way. I am so happy to have had Gaby in our lives and would highly recommend her! read more

Complete K-9 Academy, Inc - Pet Training Near Me - Myakka City, Florida

Complete K9 Academy Gaby is the best of the best. If you want someone that really spends time teaching your dog good manners, look no farther, she's the one. My Abbey (she's a golden retriever) was having issues with jumping. Not a little but a lot and very high to the point I was worried about her hurting me. Nothing seemed to stop her. Had her at other trainers but that didn't help. Gaby found the way to stop it. While also teaching her to come when called. Gaby is a one on one trainer ... her business, she's the boss and the trainer. Unlike other places that use other people to walk and play with your dog because they have too many dogs in training and having to divide their time among them. Your dog will get all the training from Gaby herself as she only take a max of 2) dogs at a time. She really knows how to speak the language of dogs and will also teach you. Explained everything to you in details so that we can understand. Actually looking forward to using Gaby in the near future as Miss Abbey gets older and picks up any bad habits. Complete K9 Acadamy is an awesome, secure place, extra clean, large kennels and plenty of room to run. I will also take Miss Abbey to board with her anytime I get a chance. Thank you Gaby Becky Campbell Boot camp Level 1 & 2 read more

Our 5 mo old mastiff puppy, Stella, was getting big and hard to handle. We have normally trained our own dogs (not that well, but at least the basics,) but since we had experienced 2 moves in her short life and were unable to give her the adequate time she needed to learn new behaviors. We chose to have Stella go for Boot Camp Obedience 1&2 which meant she would be gone 8 days. I was fine with that, but our kids were not. :) Gabby, the owner of Complete K9 Academy, only takes 2 dogs at a time to train and I knew with that kind of one-on-one attention that Stella would be a joy, instead of a stressor, when she returned to us. After going through an initial evaluation to see if Stella would benefit from Gabby's training, we returned to Complete K9 Academy to drop Stella off. During that drop-off we went over all of our hopes for her, the issues she was currently having and issues we personally wanted to avoid in the future. Stella was able to play freely with Gabby's dogs while we were talking and get to know her temporary home for an hour or two before we left her. Over the next week Gabby sent several videos of Stella to show us that she was not only happy and well, but what she was learning. The kids lived for those videos as they missed her very much. Stella went through the intensive training working with Gabby in many situations, (ie. obeying through distraction, learning she is to be submissive to the human in control, not the other way around, how to heel and not pull the leash (yea!!!), to wait at the door until released before going out, etc.) When we returned to pick Stella up, Gabby had us wait a distance away while she showed us what Stella could do and before she let Stella greet us. I knew how hard it was for Stella to wait, but she did work and she worked well. She also had to sit and wait to be released before she showered us with kisses. We spent another hour with Gabby showing us all that Stella learned and trained us how to keep building her newly established obedience into habitually behavior. She showed each of our 4 children (5-12 yo) how to walk her properly and to correct her if need be. It was wonderful to watch our 5 yo be able to handle a dog that only a week before he was a bit afraid of. I couldn't be more thrilled with how Stella came back to us. Understanding that she is a mastiff (slower obedience timing than Gabby's dobs) and that she is a puppy, I was amazed at how she well she did. We are doing our homework to the best of our ability and have 2 more "lessons" to attend that come with the package. I would highly recommend Complete K9 Academy to anyone with any need for dog training. ESPECIALLY, if you are ready to give up on the dog. Gabby trains police dogs, narcotic dogs, etc. She can turn around a little monster and make it a great family dog. She is such a pleasure to work with and I hope many other dog owners will enjoy the benefits of having their dog trained by Gabby at Complete K9 Academy. read more

We adopted a German Shepherd from a friend without knowing what background he had. Knowing that German Shepherds can be a handful and have a bad reputation for being "vicious" my wife and I sought out a trainer that could help us make him a well rounded pup. Another friend spoke highly of Gaby and immediately after meeting her, there was no question she was the right trainer for us. A few weeks later, Kaine started Level 1 at her property. Little did we know, she trained us more than Kaine...haha. There were immediate results and the training has made Kaine an obedient, confident, and happy young adult. He is now just over a year old and we get compliments all the time how well he responds to us and minds his manner out in public. After training, we still visit Gaby, Kaya, and Kaiser and she has always been just a text or call away with any questions and help us resolve any behavorial issues. Thank you Gaby for being amazing at what you do and sharing your passion with others. read more

Hands down. This is the place to choose for training your dog/companion. 5 stars for sure! Owned and run exclusively by Gaby (Gabriela Urevitch), this is a boot camp program for training your dog that is second to none. Gaby, alone, trains the dogs, and only accepts two at a time. She will spend much training time with each one of them. There are 5 acres of grounds for the dogs to roam. This includes a pond for them to enjoy, as well. The grounds are well maintained. There is even an obstacle course area for dogs to master. The kennels are clean and she is able to allow each dog his own space, with the opportunity to be outside during the day and sleep on a cot indoors, at night.. Water is always available for them. Owners supply their own food. There is just no doubt that Gaby loves her work and loves working with her dogs. The training was wonderful and completely what we wanted and needed. We adopted our dog, Jack, 18 months prior to our taking him to this Boot Camp. Although we thought we were "training" him, there were a few things we needed to overcome. Through Gaby's training, we now have the understanding as to why our own techniques were not working. Plus, Jack needed to learn socializing with humans. Gaby took him on outings to Lowe's and Starbucks, teaching him to trust us with his safety and to be unafraid. But, surprisingly, the training and help do not stop after boot camp. Gaby is "on call" via the internet, phone, or texting, even after the training is completed. We know this first-hand, as we have communicated several times already. Our Irish Setter, Jack, completed his boot camp in March 2014. Gaby sent us text messages, e-mails and photos during the time he was in training. We had consistent communication, so we knew exactly how Jack was doing. Look at her website in detail...you will be amazed! What more could an owner want? This Complete K-9 Academy is the best and we recommend it to everyone. Snake and Marianne Princeton, Il read more

When I first met Gaby I had already worked with one professional trainer and a second semi-professional. Neither worked out well. I had adopted 2 Flat Coated Retrievers, very large dogs and the first time in my life I'd had 2 dogs at one time. I was overwhelmed and my dogs were confused and unmanageable. Then we met Gaby. First she trained me...and then my dogs! Unlike the other trainers, she has instincts and great insight to the nature of both the dog as well as the owner. In a short time I became a true and confident pack leader and my dogs fully accept me as such, No more chewed shoes, no counter surfing, jumping up on people, tugging on the leash, or chaos and confusion. Now I'm happy and they're happy, and I can't express the joy and happiness we share together now as a result of what we have learned because of Gaby. It's so much more than learned commands and behavior. Gaby goes beyond that in teaching you to become a confident pet owner and instilling that feeling of trust and security, and loyalty in your dogs for you as their leader and protector. And further more, if a new situation or problem presents itself (as it did for me these 3 years later when I moved) I know I can call her and she will discuss the problem, tell me why it occurred, and give me the solution. Me and my boys simply love what all Gaby has done for us. We're all exceptionally happy campers! read more
