About Our Teams

Gabrielle

Owner, Trainer

Gabrielle has always had a passion for animals. Growing up in a rural part of Tallahassee, FL, her childhood home was always filled with animals - rabbits, lovebirds, dogs, cats, fish, and more. Growing up she found herself breeding, caring for, and training various species of animals as she always gravitated toward working with them. Possibly because of her grandfather’s background as a Professor of Marine Biology. She always envisioned a life working with animals in some regard. Eventually, that vision became a reality when she and her husband, Raj, bought the kennel in 2024. She has since learned a lot about training these strong and intelligent dogs and looks forward to helping connect individuals and families with their forever dog.

Raj

Co-Owner

Raj has a background in healthcare. His interest in dog breeding and training stems from his clinical practice where he has observed time and again the great impact that chronic diseases and illnesses have on his patients. It is clear to him that dogs trained in service work can be incredibly beneficial to many people.

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.
