Train With Respect.
Live As A Duo.
DUO K9 was founded with one mission: help owners and their dogs truly understand each other — providing them with the tools and skills necessary to develop confident, reliable, happy dogs all while improving and bettering their relationship.
Gabriela Jimenez
Gabriela Jimenez is the founder of DUO K9 and a professional dog trainer who began her career in Miami, Florida and now operates out of a private training facility in Griffin, Georgia. At its core, DUO K9 is a relationship-based program built for focused board-and-train services.
Years of hands-on work with the toughest cases — aggression, severe reactivity, and high-drive working dogs — and experimentation with a wide range of methods led Gabriela to balanced training, where clear communication and consistent reinforcement come first. Her methodology is rooted in respect, clarity, and consistency, producing stronger bonds between owners and their dogs. Gabriela continues to travel frequently to serve her loyal client base across South Florida.
Hands-On, Every Session.
Real training happens outside the living room. Every dog at DUO K9 gets focused, one-on-one work in real environments — building the calm focus, clear communication, and reliable obedience that hold up in the real world.
The Dogs Behind The Trainer.
Every trainer has the dogs that shaped them. These two shaped everything DUO K9 stands for.
Khalee
The Reason I Train
Khalee is why DUO K9 exists. She's the dog who first showed Gabriela what's possible when patience, trust, and the right training meet — and the reason this became a life's work instead of a hobby.
Mazikeen
The Reason I Compete
Mazikeen pushed Gabriela into the world of competition and sport training — the work that elevated DUO K9 from solid obedience into high-level performance, and shaped the methodology we bring to every dog today.
