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.
Our Services
Your Leadership Reset starts here. See a positive change within the first training session.
Calm Under Pressure Program
The Calm Under Pressure Program is an in-person experience designed for owners who are unsure how to move forward with their dog, feel overwhelmed or discouraged, or unsure how to move forward with their dog.
Whether you’re dealing with leash pulling, barking, jumping on guests, reactivity toward other dogs, tension at the doorbell, guarding behaviors, or simply feeling out of control in everyday moments, this program meets you where those challenges actually happen — in your home, your neighborhood, your real life — not in a controlled classroom. Together, we help you understand what your dog is communicating, step in before behaviors escalate, and respond with calm, steady leadership.
Each program is carefully curated and personalized, meeting you in the environments where challenges actually show up — not in a controlled classroom — and helping you understand what your dog is telling you, step in before things escalate, and lead with calm, steady confidence.
This is a thoughtful reset that replaces stress with calm and hesitation with quiet confidence.
No Guesswork Transformation
The No-Guesswork Transformation is an immersive board & train experience for owners who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or done second-guessing behaviors that feel bigger than they can safely manage alone.
This program removes the pressure of trial and error by placing your dog in a structured, professional environment where unsafe patterns are interrupted, calm behavior is rebuilt, and clarity replaces confusion — while keeping you informed, supported, and prepared every step of the way.
When your dog comes home, you’re not left hoping for the best; you’re returning to a clear plan, renewed confidence, and the skills to carry the work forward.
The Leadership Lab
Our Online Virtual Coaching Program is designed for dog owners who want professional guidance from anywhere.
It’s ideal for common challenges like leash pulling, barking, mild reactivity, welcoming a new rescue dog into your home, or raising a well-mannered puppy.
Through personalized one-on-one video sessions, we help you understand your dog’s behavior, make simple adjustments that create real change, and build the confidence to handle situations calmly and effectively in your everyday life.
This is expert training — delivered online — so you can learn to lead your dog with clarity and consistency, no matter where you live.
Clear guidance. Real progress. Confidence you can carry forward.
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.”
