About Our Teams

Gabrielle

Owner, Trainer

Gabrielle has a lifelong background in animal care and training, with deep roots in the world of animal husbandry and behavior. Raised in a rural part of Tallahassee, FL, she gained early, hands-on experience breeding, caring for, and training a wide range of animals—including dogs, rabbits, birds, and more. Influenced by a family legacy in the biological sciences, Gabrielle developed a strong foundation in animal behavior from a young age. In 2024, she and her husband Raj took their passion to the next level by acquiring the kennel, where she now plays an active role in training and placing highly capable, well-tempered dogs. Gabrielle is committed to helping individuals and families find the right canine companion through a combination of professional insight and genuine care.

Raj

Co-Owner

Raj comes from a healthcare background, where he witnessed the challenges many people face living with chronic conditions. This experience led him to recognize the unique value of service dogs in supporting both physical and emotional well-being. His interest in dog breeding and training is rooted in a desire to provide practical, impactful solutions through well-trained, purpose-driven dogs. He helps with sales and social media marketing for the kennel.

Sharon

Lead Trainer

Sharon has trained Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd Dogs for “oh my goodness, a long time” according to her (formally, at least since 2011). She began training dogs while living in Puerto Rico. She has trained many breeds including Golden Doodles, Dachshund, German Shepherds and many other breeds. She specializes in service dog training. She frequently states that “dogs are my life” because they are “no drama” and we agree! She is so passionate about training dogs that her daughter, Jeranish, grew up around her work and passion so much so she followed in Sharon’s footsteps in the same profession.

Junniell

Trainer

Junniell began his career with animals as a professional horse trainer in California, where he performed this work for over 25 years. He has always loved training and working with animals. He joined our kennel in 2022 and specializes in protection and decoy work. He also edits and puts together a lot of our videos that you may have seen on various social media platforms.

Jeranish

Trainer

Jeranish has been training dogs since 2017 but grew up watching her mother, Sharon, train and welp dogs from a young age. She specializes in obedience training for our dogs.
