Rachael is fantastic! Highly recommend. I was at my wits end when I called her to help me with my 6 month old rescue puppy Roxy. Giving up was not an option for me. She tailors her training to the individual dog and what will work for her. Rachael makes everything seem so logical and simple. She sends you notes after each training session so you can go back over them to refresh your memory and also makes herself available for any questions you might have. She took my Roxy from being a little crazy puppy to a well behaved girl. I cant say enough good things about her. Look no further do yourself a favor and call her. You will not regret it.

We cannot say enough great things about Rachael! She has completely exceeded our expectations. Rachael started working with our Golden Retriever puppy, Mila, when she was just 4 months old, and the progress has been incredible. Mila is now such a well-behaved, confident, and happy puppy thanks to Rachael’s patient, knowledgeable, and consistent training methods.\n\nRachael goes above and beyond—she’s always available to answer our (many!) questions and helps us fine-tune every aspect of Mila’s training. She has even helped us with our 9-year-old Mini Aussie, offering personalized guidance that’s made a big difference for her too.\n\nRachael is professional, kind, and truly passionate about what she does. We couldn’t recommend her more highly—she’s simply the best! 👏🏻

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with our dog trainer Rachael! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about helping both us and our dog succeed. We saw such a huge improvement in behavior, listening, and confidence in such a short time. She made training enjoyable and easy to understand, and she always took the time to answer our questions. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and talented dog trainer. Thank you for everything!

Rachel is amazing and truly has a gift for dog training. We are lucky to have found her as we did one on one training. She helped us with training our golden retriever puppy. As we all know puppies can be overwhelming. With her guidance and support our puppy is learning and quickly (place, sit, down, leave it, walking, greetings, no, yes, etc. etc. etc.). Her videos are also very helpful.

We had such a great experience with Rachael! She did a great job at training our dog Lola as well as us. We had a dog that was super reactive to other dogs that came off very aggressive and somewhat frightening for the other dog. Through our sessions we were able really help Lola not react or to not react negatively when she saw other dogs. This has made camping with Lola 100% more enjoyable. My wife and I would highly recommend her.
