Rachel is a dog-whisperer! Our pup was hyper and neurotic. Now she’s confident and happy. Thank you!

Rachel became our puppy's behaviorist in his early stages. We are extremely grateful for the high quality of care, ability, and genuine humanity Rachel displays throughout her puppy training series. Through one-on-one behavioral training (especially of you, the humans), she ensures that you and your pup are not only closer to the same page, but that you better understand puppy/dog motivations and reactions in general, and your dog's behaviors in particular. And, Rachel's friendly demeanor has resulted in her being one of our pup's favorite people. We agree!
Rachel is a fantastic and empathetic trainer who worked wonders with our dog Rowan. I'm so glad we have been able to work with her and I always reference her helpful emails which have helped us learn the best way to also train him when she's not around. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trainer.

Rachel has been WONDERFUL - I can't say that enough. We first met with her for a 6-week, once-a-week, program at our home when first got our puppy and it was a huge help. He absolutely loved her, but most importantly - Rachel helped us learn how to keep that training going when she wasn't around. I thought I knew the basics about training a puppy but *NEWS FLASH* definitely not haha Rachel is so positive, easy to talk to and answered all our questions (even the silly ones.) Double bonus - we had an issue pop up several months after we first met; I messaged Rachel and she was very helpful. She even followed up a couple weeks later to be sure everything was ok. Three cheers!
Rachel has been caring and training my 3 bulldogs for the last 13 years. She has an amazing way with dogs. I can't tell you how many times a friend has mentioned to me, " I saw Sophie with Rachel, she so good with her". That made me feel great. Rachel always goes above and beyond. You can tell that she really cares about her dogs. I would highly recommend her.
