For people tired of apologizing for their dog
The behavior is fixable—and you don’t have to do this alone.
Where Clarity Meets Confidence — and Every Dog Transforms.
Badass Dog Training is a luxury behavior training experience for people who feel stressed, embarrassed, or overwhelmed by their dog’s behavior—and for those who simply want to bring out the best in the dog they love. We specialize in reactivity and aggression, while also working with puppies and family dogs who need clearer guidance. We teach you how to lead with confidence and clarity.
If walks feel tense or having guests over makes you uneasy, it’s not because you’ve done something wrong—you just haven’t been given the right guidance. Through our Leadership Reset Method™, we replace guesswork with clear, thoughtful direction through in-home training, board & train programs, and online coaching.
The results are calm walks, relaxed visits with friends, a dog you’re proud to share, and a life together that feels composed, confident, and genuinely enjoyable.
How it Works
-
Everything we do is custom. The more we know, the faster we can change your life.
Pulling on leash? Barking at guests? Puppy chaos? Or maybe your dog’s reactive and you’re done walking on eggshells. We get it — and we can help.
Fill out our quick form, tell us what’s going on, and book a free call to talk through your challenges, goals, and what’s possible for you and your dog.
-
We don’t guess — we assess. Seeing it live shows us exactly what needs to change.
We’ll meet you where the problems happen — at home, or out in the real world. Watching your dog in action helps us find the root cause of the behavior and map out the best place to start.
Example: Your dog loses it when people come over? We’ll teach you how to calmly send your dog to their kennel when the doorbell rings — so you stay in control.
No pressure. No obligation. Just clarity and a plan.
-
No cookie-cutter training — only what works for your dog and your life.
All of our training plans are custom. Once we’ve seen the behaviors, we’ll build your custom game plan. You’ll know what to do, when to do it, and why it works — step by step.
-
Confidence. Control. Calm. That’s what transformation feels like.
We’ll guide you through the process so you can finally enjoy life with your dog — peaceful walks, relaxed guests, calm energy at home.
By the end, you won’t just have a better dog. You’ll have a bond built on trust and respect — the kind that turns heads.

Why choose badass?
We Train Real People for Real Life
We don’t just train dogs, we teach people to lead with confidence.
Other trainers chase obedience in controlled spaces. We train real people, in real homes, with real challenges. From coffee shops to crowded sidewalks, we build trust and respect where it actually matters — in your everyday life.
We’re not looking for perfection. Our goal is progress — lasting, lifelong growth for both you and your dog.
Leadership, not leashes. We’re built for owners who want to lead — not just manage.
We Fix the Why, Not Just the What
Behavior change starts in the brain, not the collar.
We go beyond obedience drills. We uncover what’s driving your dog’s behavior — fear, confusion, or frustration — and teach you how to respond with clarity, not emotion. That’s how real transformation begins.
We’re not chasing quick fixes or perfection. We’re teaching understanding — the kind that grows stronger over time.
Understand the cause. Change the outcome.
Results That Last a Lifetime
Feel capable again. Develop skills to handle anything with confidence.
We give you lifelong tools — not temporary tricks. If you stick with the program, you’ll learn how to read your dog, communicate clearly, and build the kind of relationship that lasts. Because this isn’t about perfect dogs; it’s about becoming a confident, capable team.
We’re not looking for perfection. We’re building progress, growth, and mastery that lasts.
Freedom. Clarity. Lifelong results.

“I was at the end of my rope with Dolci’s barking and pulling — walks were miserable. Gabby built a plan that worked for our family. Now Dolci greets guests calmly, walks peacefully, and we can even take her on vacation. Total game-changer.”

“Our rescue dog, Bean, was reactive and even attacked me. Gabby stepped in when we were ready to give up. Nine months later, Bean is calm, happy, and thriving. Thanks to Gabby, he truly has his forever home.”
