Riker joined the Dog Trots’ pack as soon as he turned six months old. He doesn’t miss a day in the week to wrestle and run with his buddies.

I found Gloria with Dog Trots by going to the dog park and watching which dog walkers were good. Gloria is excellent! Top notch. A real dog behaviorist that is skilled. I watched her deal with dogs, puppies, owners, and aggressive breeds for a few months before hiring her for my dog. My dog now goes three times a week with Gloria’s off-leash groups. Our dog waits anxiously by the gate until Gloria pulls up and jumps into her doggie truck excitedly.

Our dog is a sweet and well-behaved dog today because he has spent the past three years with Gloria and his pals at Dog Trots. She provides superb service and personalized love and attention. She is conscientious, concerned, knowledgeable, and most important, she LOVES dogs. In my next life, I want to come back as one of Gloria’s Dog Trotters.

We have absolutely loved working with Gloria over the years: dog training, boarding, off-leash adventures… it has all been great! Our dog loves her so much, and her guidance has been key to helping us understand his needs. Not only that, Gloria’s love for all of her pack really shows! The dogs obviously adore her, and she adores them!

Gloria is absolutely AMAZING and the most special person we’ve had the privilege of knowing. We first reached out to her when we adopted our 3 month old pit mix in hopes she could help us with reactive and anxious tendencies.

From the first moment Gloria stepped into our home, we knew she would be able to help us better understand our pups needs and even helped us to communicate with one another.

Adopting a puppy can be very stressful at times, Gloria was an important part in our journey of becoming a family.

We’ve done 1:1 in home trainings, a walk training and even a dog park training and we whole heartedly believe Gloria was instrumental to our pups socialization (both human and pups).

Our pup is now a part of the weekly dog pack and it’s the highlight of her week, so much so that she automatically goes into her kennel in anticipation for the Gloria pick up! 🙂

Gloria has continue to go above and beyond when it comes to loving and supporting our pup. We couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Gloria is amazing!! We first reached out to Gloria for in-home behavioral training a few weeks after we adopted our young reactive dog, Callie. Gloria was instrumental in helping us learn how to communicate with our dog, giving us the tools we needed to manage her reactivity and more confidence as new dog owners. We could see dramatic improvements in Callie's behavior after our first session, and we learned great tips on house-training, leashed walks, barrier frustration, etc. Since then, Callie has joined Gloria and her gang for weekly adventures, where she gets picked up from our house (!!) and comes home tired, happy, and well-socialized. It's clear Gloria loves dogs, and with the combination of training and adventures, Callie is blossoming into a confident and happy pup.

Recently, Gloria stayed with Callie in our home for a week while we were away, and we were so impressed with the photo updates and amount of care Gloria showed both Callie and our house - she even stayed late to accommodate our delayed flight. We feel really lucky that we found Gloria, and we would gladly recommend Gloria's services to anyone with a dog.
