Gabby White
Gabby White has been practicing various dog training methods for the last decade.
She became frustrated with the strict mindset of “bad habits” and “bad behaviors” being negative events rather than perfect opportunities for growth.
Training Philosophy
Gabby White believes that dog training is applied science, expectation management, and above all- maintaining a positive attitude for change to happen!
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.

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!
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
