Where does your dog fall?

Norwalk dog obedience and leash training

Obedience and Leash Training

Pulling, jumping, ignoring commands,  the everyday stuff that makes owning a dog exhausting.

 

We see this constantly with Norwalk dogs, and we teach real obedience that holds up at home, not just during a training session.

Dog reactivity and aggression training in Norwalk, CT

Reactivity and Aggression

This is what we built Hope Gables around.

 

Lunging, growling, biting, resource guarding. We've rehabilitated dogs most trainers wouldn't touch, right here in Norwalk and across Fairfield County.

 

If your walks feel like a constant battle, this is where we start.

Why Norwalk families trust
Hope Gables Canine

Nick started Hope Gables Canine after rehabilitating his own reactive dog, Layla, the hard way: trial, error, and a handful of trainers who didn't get it right.

​

That experience shaped how we train today: no shortcuts, no one-size-fits-all plans.

​

We've since worked with dogs from SoNo to Rowayton to East Norwalk. Different breeds, different histories.

​

Same result: it holds up once your dog comes home.

This is what 'winning your walks back' actually looks like.

Reactive dog trained by Hope Gables Canine in Norwalk, CT

A year ago we adopted our pup Piggy and immediately learned she was highly reactive on leash — pulling with such strength every time she saw another dog that our anxiety levels were sky high before we even left the house. We sought out remote, desolate places to walk her, or went out at odd hours, just to avoid other dogs. After working with several trainers over six months with little to no results, we found Nick and Hope Gables Canine. Following her October Board & Train, Piggy now walks confidently by our side, past other dogs, without reaction."

Based in East Norwalk. Serving all of Norwalk.

Located in East Norwalk, we've spent years helping local families work through everything from pulling on walks and jumping on guests to severe leash reactivity and aggression.

​

Unlike large franchises, your dog isn't being sent off to an unfamiliar facility or passed between a rotating cast of handlers.

​

Whether you're in SoNo, Rowayton, West Norwalk, Cranbury, or Silvermine, this is where the work actually happens, just minutes from wherever you call home.

Board & Train is a premium, limited-availability program.

Most placements run $6,450 and up. We work with only a handful of Norwalk-area dogs each month so every dog gets the attention they need.

If that's the right fit for you and your dog, let's talk.
