180dog

For nearly five years, we have struggled with our dogs’ anxious and fear-based behaviors. Various trainers and online programs left us unintentionally confusing our dogs and exacerbating our frustration. Then we met Gari, and learned that a dog behaviorist was what we were missing. She taught us that lasting change comes in baby steps and how to help our dogs make choices that give them confidence (and us peace). Gari walked us through each step with patience and positivity. She is a gifted teacher and ally. We are a month into our new routine with the dogs and are seeing genuine improvement in both the dogs and our relationship with each. Thank you Gari!!!!!

Gari is phenomenal! She was able to train my dog to listen and behave without any yelling or hitting or scaring, and my dog kept her fun wacky personality. What is extra special about Gari’s training is you can tell how deeply she cares about what she does and your dog. She takes time to get to know and understand your pet and works with you to help bring out the best in your pet. I hope to work with Gari again in the future. I feel I got more than my moneys worth and I definitely recommend her for anybody looking into training their dog, as she is more than a trainer but a behavior specialist and the difference is very apparent!

Gari is not only knowledgeable, she is very understanding and caring. My rescue is a very anxious and nervous dog and Gari was incredibly patient and optimistic in helping to tranform him for the better. I noticed how incredible she is around my dog and is extremely professional. After one session, Gari was able to detect my dog’s triggers and behavioral issues that needed to be worked on and improved. I highly recommend Gari. She is the epitome of a highly experienced, qualified and charismatic trainer. I am so happy that I chose to work with her as she is an incredible person and clearly loves what she does. My dog absolutely adores her!

There was an immediate positive change in our dog after just one session with Gari. Now, after 5 sessions, she is a totally different dog. Gari has worked with us on various commands that are helping our dog, who is a rescue and 3 years old, conquer her fears and unacceptable behaviors. Gari doesn't only work with us in the 1 hour sessions, but sends us videos to watch to further reinforce the training methods (even Bailey likes the videos!) Bottom line, she is teaching us to train our dog, rather than just training in 1-hour segments. I would 100% recommend hiring Gari & 180dog!

Working with Gari has been amazing. She is extremely kind and knowledgeable and Bitsy loves training with her. Gari has helped us make our dog happier and make us better pet parents. Her technique for training is all about positivity and rewards. We could not have asked for a better trainer or a better experience. Bitsy would have said thank you also, but she is exhausted from today’s session.
