Our Science-Based, Positive Approach
At Gables Bark & Learn, we exclusively use positive reinforcement and science-based training techniques. This means we focus on rewarding desired behaviors, not punishing unwanted ones. Our methods are proven to build confidence, strengthen the human-animal bond, and create a joyful learning experience for you and your dog. We believe training should be a conversation, not a command. We're dedicated to helping you understand your dog's language and respond in ways that foster trust and mutual respect, leading to lasting positive changes.
Our Training Programs
From playful puppies to advanced learners, we have a class for every stage of your dog's journey. Discover the perfect program to help your dog thrive.

Obedience Training (All Levels)
Our core curriculum, from Basic (sit, stay, come) to Advanced (off-leash reliability, complex commands), designed to improve communication and build a responsive companion.
