Hola! I'm Gaby, if you see an email from Delizideey G Bautista that is my full name.
At 4TLOD, we believe every dog deserves the chance to succeed and every owner deserves the tools to build a strong, healthy relationship with their dog. Our training focuses on clarity, communication, and practical guidance that owners can apply in their everyday lives.After completing hundreds of hours in an intensive apprenticeship under the world-renowned training methods of Canine Karma Training, 4TLOD delivers high level dog training and education to dog owners across Northern Virginia.
​
Every dog is trainable regardless of age, breed, or past behavior. Lasting results don’t come from a “perfect dog,” but from a committed owner who is willing to learn, stay consistent, and make meaningful changes in their day-to-day life with their dog.
Our founder and lead trainer was born in Guatemala City and raised in Virginia from a young age. As a bilingual trainer, she is passionate about making professional dog training and education accessible to both English and Spanish-speaking communities.
We specialize in a range of in-home dog services that address the root causes of behavioral issues, treating dogs' behavior as a reflection of their needs and the relationship they have with their owners.
When choosing our boarding or Day Train services our canine clients experience a structured environment with strong leadership, all while having plenty of opportunities for enjoyable activities. We understand and respect the individuality of each dog, adjusting exercise, socialization, and relaxation to their unique needs.

Why do you & your dog need training?
​
Improved Communication: Training facilitates better communication between you and your dog. You'll be able to convey your expectations clearly, making day-to-day interactions smoother and more enjoyable. This will help your dog understand what's expected of them and encourages them to repeat desirable behaviors.
Adaptability: A well-trained dog is more adaptable to new environments and situations
Emotional Well-being: Dogs that receive consistent, training tend to be happier and less stressed. They understand their role in the family and are less likely to feel anxious or insecure.
Community Integration: Well-behaved dogs are more welcome in public spaces and are easier to include in social activities. This enhances your overall quality of life as a dog owner.
