Training difficult dogs
I was once in your shoes.
If you’re seeking reliable dog training in CT that provides lasting results, I’ve been there.
Years ago, my Australian Shepherd, Layla, was highly leash-reactive. I went through numerous trainers and spent thousands of dollars on false promises before I finally found the right trainer to help her.
That experience inspired me to spend the years that followed shadowing dog trainers in the industry, so I could help people like you build a new relationship with your dog.
Today, Hope Gables Canine has trained dogs of all breeds to stop barking, leash pulling, jumping, lunging, destructive chewing, biting and beyond.
Our dog board and train program runs the spectrum, from basic obedience to the most complex behavioral issues, whether you’ve struggled for years or you’re raising a puppy who just needs a little guidance.

Results matter.
That's why we strive to provide the absolute best dog training in CT and balanced training techniques that will far exceed your expectations.
As a dog trainer in CT for 10 years, I’ve worked with nearly every breed and behavior issue. The main differentiator about our training programs is that they are not one-size-fits-all or cookie cutter in nature. Each dog is unique and you're deserving of a program that is tailored specifically to your situation.
Our years of experience working with all types of dog behavior issues allow us to troubleshoot if something is not working for you and effectively pivot as needed.

"From the moment we picked him up, the difference was immediately noticeable. His obedience, ability to regulate, and overall calmness is night and day compared to where he was before."

"Her anxiety, reactivity, and aggression are a million times better… They didn't change who Birdie is. She's just calmer, more confident, more responsive, and an absolute joy to take places."

"We are going for multiple walks a day. They don't charge our guests when they come to the door. They both happily walk into their crates in the evening and get a full night's sleep."

“If you are, like I was, reading these reviews because you are at the end of your rope with your dog… allow this post to relax you. I was you once… No more counter surfing, biting, barking, jumping, lunging. His whole demeanor is just more relaxed.”
