Rachel is very knowledgable and patient, she teaches in a way that is easy to understand and uses actions that are manageable and adaptable to each individual.
Thank you for helping us train our little Maltese, Toby. His improvement is fantastic. We have already recommended you to friends and will continue to do so as we have living proof of the effectiveness of your training.
We work extreme hours and to have Rachel walk our dogs is very reassuring - the dogs adore her and she even offered to take the dogs to the vets when I've been at work!
My Border Collie, Max, was pulling on the lead and not responding well to dogs running up and around him. Rachel taught me some great techniques that are very effective. Rachel also walks Max every week. It is very important to me is that Rachel is a professional trainer and I can trust her with Max and he adores her.
