Cana Gomez

Trainer – Baynine

Cana Gomez has known since she was just three years old that she wanted to work with dogs, and she’s never looked back. Turning that dream into reality has been one of the most rewarding adventures of her life. Her journey with her own dog, Envy, has taught her invaluable skills and shaped her approach to training with patience, empathy, and intention.

Along the way, Cana has been fortunate to learn from respected mentors, Moriah and Elly, whose guidance continues to influence her work. With their support, she has developed creative and effective ways to connect with dogs of all types, helping them grow while strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners.

Today, Cana shares her life with Envy and continues to build on her passion for training. She enjoys working with all breeds and finds fulfillment in helping owners better understand their dogs while creating lasting results through positive, effective training.
