Gala is inspired by being surrounded by dogs, which makes her feel connected to nature and humility. Her fascination with canine communication, particularly how they peacefully resolve conflicts, led her to pursue a career in canine care and training.

We had a great experience working with Gala. Over the course of two weeks, we saw noticeable improvements in Bella’s behaviour. Gala was attentive, pointing out areas where we could make further progress (confidence building), and provided us with helpful training videos to follow at home. She also followed up with us on Bella’s progress and provide additional training advice. We’re excited to continue working with Gala to improve Bella’s training! More...

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Gala, and we truly couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Gala went above and beyond in every way.
Her professionalism, patience, and genuine care for our dog Alfonzo stood out immediately.
She not only helped him make real progress, but also made us feel confident and supported throughout the process. The training was tailored, thoughtful, and delivered with so much dedication. Alfonzo has grown so much, and it’s all thanks to her consistent guidance and encouragement.
We’re continuing with the ongoing training and feel really positive about it because of the solid foundation Gala helped us build. We’ve had such a great experience and genuinely couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Thank you, Gala, and thank you Tail Tales for such an incredible service!

I did a course with MaiaK9 and I have been learning so many new skills to apply when walking my reactive dog. Every time I have doubts or questions Gala The Dog Trainer will give me the best advises depending on every scenario. I feel satisfied with this programme because my dog seems happier and calmer since the training programme started. Thank you Gala! More...

Dog Walking
CaniCrew have been invaluable for us and looking after our dachshund whilst I work a few office days a week.
He is well looked after and always returns in a very happy mood.
Couldn’t recommend Gala and her team enough for dog walking services in London

I Would highly recommend the puppy program to any dog owners looking to achieve great results from online sessions. Gala was super friendly and very excited to meet our 3 month cockapoo, and he was willing to learn during the session!
It was then we knew we had chosen the right course and the perfect trainer!
Gala listened to our needs and was on available when we needed advice. She was absolutely great providing information, and you could instantly tell her love for dogs, she was great.
Thank you Gala! We will will miss our evening sessions and so will Enzo! And thank you CaniCrew, would very highly recommend!

Dog Training
Gala is a wonderful dog trainer. My German Shepherd used to bark in the street at anyone passing in the street, pulling the leash in agressive way to run to anyone she sees.
I was not able to control her at all.
She used to jump to greet any member of the family to say hello.
After the training, now I am now able to take my god out to the park, she is not barking at people anymore and not jumping to greet people.
Gala is wonderful, very helpful and always there to give advice if needed.
Thank you very much Gala for your hard work.
Wish you the best.

Pet Sitting
Gala is an incredible professional that had our lion head rabbit for 3 weeks when we were away for holidays and we can tell that it was like if we had never left Melo Maria because she kept us updated of everything daily with photos and videos. She was flexible and available as well. We truly recommend to work with her. More...

Gala and Alba are amazing. They quickly earned my dog’s trust and he enjoys their daily walks around London with them!

Gala put so much effort to make your dog feel safe and has knowledge about dogs welfare.
What do you love most about your job?
Working with dogs is my dream career. I admire their honesty, loyalty, and the way they communicate without words. Dogs bring joy, peace, and unconditional love into our lives, and I feel honoured to be part of their journey — helping them thrive and strengthening the bond they share with their owners.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After losing my dog Gorda, who was by my side for 16 years, I realised how much joy and meaning dogs had brought into my life. I wanted to dedicate my career to giving other dogs the same love, care, and guidance she had. I also enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and connecting with both dogs and their owners, creating the best experience possible for both.

I am a reliable, responsible, and fully qualified professional with a genuine passion for dogs. I take time to understand each client’s needs and tailor my services to suit their dog’s personality and routine.
