Your GSD is a Special Breed with Unique Needs
Your dog was bred with a dual function making them uniquely different to any of the other herding breeds.
This is an overlooked and underrated fact that causes many GSD guardians to reach for aversive training methods in a last ditch attempt to solve the "unsolvable."
But it doesn't have to be that way!
"I do not typically leave feedback reviews but Gabriella more than deserves one. She deserves more than 5 stars - that is for sure! I am so beyond happy with the training guide and with Gabriella herself. It truly has been such a great experience..."

About Your Instructor
Hi!
I'm Gabriella, the certified professional dog trainer behind the brand Life of Mutts.
You may know me from German Shepherd Corner, the authority website on all things GSD.
I work exclusively with humans who share their lives with German Shepherds and their mixes.
You might be asking, "why exclusively Shepherds?"
In short...
I got tired of seeing so-called "experts" recommending that this magnificent breed should be dominated and "shown who's boss."
Since 2014 I have worked with and helped hundreds of GSD guardians who are frustrated at not having the relationship they want to have with their dogs.
And have come to realize that dominance training is the cause.
My goal is to support you and provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to build a deep trust bond with your GSD.
Using games-based, positive reinforcement training methods and understanding of the complex needs of our canine friends.
Without pain, force, fear or dominance.
