Dunmore Barks

I signed our dog, Rita for two weeks of day school training. She struggled to be calm in social situations and lacked confidence, which resulted in her being extremely nervous, very attached to myself and husband, and barking excessively. I was unsure how Rita would handle being in a new location with a stranger. After the first day, Rita and Miss. Rachel were best friends! Rita was so happy and relaxed going to school everyday. I was more than comfortable leaving my dog in Rachel's hands. Rachel listened to our concerns with Rita and developed a personalized training program especially for her. Rachel is knowledgeable in the science of dog training and how dog's think and function. She approaches behaviors with such kindness and truly treats all dogs like her own. Training is a group project with you, your dog, and the trainer. Rachel provides all the information needed to help you continue supporting your dog's lifelong training journey. Rita has made huge improvements since going to day school at Dunmore Barks. She can now walk through crowds and join us at breweries and restaurants without barking or getting anxious. I've had many compliments saying how much more relaxed she is since going to school. Thank you Miss. Rachel for all your hard work and helping Rita live her best life. 💚

I cannot say enough about much Rachel has done for me and both of my pups. My previous dog was extremely reactive, and I started taking her to Dunmore Barks for the private Gym Sessions. Unfortunately, I lost my girl only a few short months after starting our sessions, but having that private time and space for her to run, play, and learn freely with us made it the best time of her life! I am forever grateful. After adopting my current dog, we started with Gym Sessions, and then also began Private Training. Rachel’s passion for helping dogs and their families is unmatched! She is incredibly dedicated and talented, and it’s quite evident she’s well-educated in dog behavior and training. At Dunmore Barks, Rachel has created a learning environment fueled by passion and dedication, and filled with fun and love.

Rachel is absolutely amazing! She worked wonders with my two littermate Labs and taught them how to walk together on a leash without dragging me down the road. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does. What I appreciated most was how she took the time to really get to know each dog's unique personality and customized their training program to fit their individual needs. Rachel is incredibly down-to-earth, easy to work with, and truly invested in helping both dogs and their owners succeed. I couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and caring trainer!
