She emphasizes reframing your outlook to change how you experience a situation, as emotions drive behavior.
She aims to bridge the gap of miscommunication between dog and human.

Alexandra F with Walton, Ryder, and Pinky: Gabby creates safe spaces for people and pets in a way that makes the person feel informed, engaged, centered and full!
She brings light to the experience and trust where vulnerability is needed.
It is magic to witness and even more to take part!
I am so thankful for the healing Gabby has allowed self and others!
How amazing that her practice exists and helps to shape others’ lives!
I couldn’t imagine a more phenomenal sitter for our trio!
The way she engages with them so directly, levels with them and loves them..
I loved seeing her on Ring, they have such a gentle, fun and playful, affectionate dynamic together!
Our pets are family, children, the loves of our lives!
I’m so grateful to have someone who I can trust with their care..
My high drive 40lb wild sunshine, my sassy intelligent 60lb tripod, my weirdo goof 65lb potato..
We love Gabby and are so thankful for her being apart of our lives!
Emily with Cowboy: We stan Gabby!!! 🧡 We took a weekend vacation which meant leaving our 1.5 yr old blue heeler puppy for her first time ever away from us and we needed to find the right puppy sitter.
Gabby was definitely the most ideal choice!
She's dedicated her entire life to working with dogs and it shows.
Our heeler is a lunatic, wildly energetic, and protective of our space, but Gabby navigated working with her calmly and smoothly!
Her meet and greet session with the pup is essential!
She has excellent communication with timely updates throughout the day - abundance of photos and videos included!
Her presence really allowed us to relax and not stress about our pup while we were away.
She was at the house to greet us upon our return home and give us thorough rundown of the weekend with our dog!
Cowboy is excited to see you for the next time we’re in need :)
Jamie B with Possum, Winnie, and Little Man: Gabby is an absolute gem of a dog sitter!
She has taken the time to get to know what each of my dogs require and has always always been such a positive figure in their lives.
Gabby lives and breaths animals!
Highly recommended
Jenny and David with Magnus: Gabby is THE BEST.
If I have any pet related questions or needs Gabby is the first person I think to ask.
I truly consider her an expert in anything related to pet care.
If you’re just running across her page on Rover, I have to say you’ve seriously lucked out.
There is no one I trust more with my pets, and I’ve never met anyone else that has such a broad scope of knowledge in pet care and such an amazing passion for it!
Over the years she’s helped me with anything from proper care for a sick stray kitten to very good and effective dog training/sitting.
And I’m pretty sure every animal that’s ever met her instantly loves her and feels comfortable with her.
Thank you for everything, Gabby!
Barbara S with her 5 dogs!: I had never met such a true life “dog whisperer” until I met Gabby.
She has a gift of relating to dogs that is truly unbelievable.
They really listen to her and respond like they understand and love her!
She is the best at what she does.
Highly recommend Gabby!

Danielle Robinson
Danielle Robinson moved to Middle Tennessee in 2003 after growing up in Connecticut. She credits her childhood black Labrador Retriever/Great Dane mix for teaching her about the unconditional love and support that dogs provide.
Danielle’s first dog as an adult was a gentle and well-mannered Australian Shepherd. The bond they created encouraged her to foster rescue dogs. Danielle taught the foster dogs basic obedience skills and socialization, thus increasing their potential for successful long-term adoptions.
In 2012, Danielle started working as a professional dog trainer teaching group classes and private one-on-one lessons ranging from basic obedience to advanced training, including training for the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen award.
Furthering her commitment to learning and growing as a dog trainer, she successfully completed an internship at the largest no-kill animal sanctuary in the country, Best Friends Animal Society in Utah. There, Danielle cared for dogs who had very diverse backgrounds and specific behavioural issues, including several dogs saved from the Michael Vick dog fighting ring.
Danielle’s goal to be a service dog trainer started when she saw a news story about people who raise and train puppies for service dog organizations (puppy raisers). The story inspired her to become a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. For the next seven years, she opened her home to these puppies teaching basic to advanced obedience as well as service dog-specific skills. This experience increased her knowledge about the care and attention puppies need.
Danielle currently lives with her dogs Miracle, a Shepherd mix, and Emma Grace, a black Labrador Retriever. She enjoys hiking, snow skiing, photography, and scrapbooking when she is not at home with her dogs.
Training Philosophy
Danielle Robinson is a positive reinforcement, force-free, Certified Professional Dog Trainer—Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA). At Praise Pet Love Dog Training, we value the human-dog bond and strengthen that bond through positive reinforcement training methods backed by scientific research. Making our training fun encourages trust and builds a solid relationship with your dog without the use of fear, pain or intimidation. By valuing your dog and you together, we can achieve the behavior you want from your dog.

Jeff - Danielle has impressed me with the depth of her dog training skills. She went beyond training our dogs to putting together a plan to introduce our dog to our newborn to helping us introduce our new puppy to other dogs. I would highly recommend her. I’ve never met anyone who knows more about dogs.
Valerie - Danielle is the best! She is very thoughtful and creative. She just seems to know the best approach for your dog. She doesn’t shy away from tackling behaviour issues.
Marcia - Simply the best! An absolute dog whisperer!! Totally professional and kind. Top-notch!
Cary - I confess, like most seasoned dog owners, I thought I knew how to best train my 8 week old English Shepherd. I enrolled us in a puppy class with Danielle because I thought the socialization would be good for both of us. Danielle’s quiet attention and sense of humour, not only made me more aware of what “Booker” was thinking but really helped me to understand how best to communicate with her. I highly recommend her services & knowledge. You’ll end up with a well-behaved dog who has gained a loving and lasting friend….one who will be there whenever you need her!
Dinah - Danielle is an amazing trainer. She has helped my dog become confident and well-behaved. You can’t go wrong with Danielle!
Anita - Danielle helped us so much when we adopted a young dog that was hit by a car. As she was healing we discovered the new dog didn’t get along well with our first dog and we needed help! Our vet referred Danielle to us and we felt she would be a great fit from the start. Danielle is very creative and inspiring in tackling this task which is a work in progress. She believes in and works the positive reinforcement method; Danielle is very intuitive with dogs.
It’s hard to believe as I remember the before training and present relationship the two dogs are having.
We also moved to a new home and she helped us transition both dogs for the move and the advice was spot on.

Telani Lasoleille's mission is to foster a harmonious relationship between people and their canine partners.
