A little bit about us
Complete K-9 Academy is owned and operated by Gabriela Urevitch.
Gabriela began working with dogs first in her native country of Bulgaria. In 1999 she came to the U.S. and continued
her involvement in the dog training world first as the apprentice of a LA dog trainer and later in the opening of her
first dog school in IL.
By 2006 Gabriela had created three dog training schools, one in IL and two in FL. Each school quickly grew in
popularity thanks to Gabriela’s love for working with problem dogs and her talent for communicating that knowledge
to their owners.
She refers to her training method as a “balanced” one, offering both positive and negative reinforcement to the dog...
“No food/bribery is used during training. A dog gets physical and verbal praise for a job well done and a correction
for his mistake. The balance is achieved and the dog is a “complete” one when he willingly offers compliance and
enjoys doing so for his handler.”
Gabriela operates Complete K-9 Academy as an In Home dog and owner training service offering private lessons and the
popular Boot Camp program. She travels between Naples and Bradenton daily and trains 7 days a week.
Accompanying her is Kaiser - a male Doberman Pinscher who works for the school as a demo dog and serves as a distraction in lessons.
Gabriela’s years of experience in canine psychology and real world approach to problem solving have made Complete K-9
Academy one of the best Private Dog Training Schools in America.
