Rachel is a qualified level 2 dog trainer. As part of her training process, Rachel combines her incredible knowledge of dog behaviour with her enthusiastic and empathetic approach to teach owners how to train their dog using positive, reward based techniques.

 

Rachel set up ‘In The Dog House Training’ back in 2019 and has kept tails wagging ever since! She has experience working with all breeds and has successfully taught owners how to deal with issues including: 

 

• Recall

• Walking to heel on a lead 

• Counter conditioning for reactive dogs

• Anxiety and separation guidance

• General puppy training

• Canine first aid

 

Through experience, Rachel believes in 1-2-1 dog training as classes are too distracting, especially for puppies. Socialisation is addressed in her training programme but in other ways. Rachel initially likes to meet the dog and owner at their home to get to know them before venturing outside to train due to constant distractions. If this is inconvenient, she will arrange a suitable location.

 

From £50 per hour session.

Rachel travelled to us to help with our miniature dachshund and in just one session we have learned a list of simple tricks to help with dog reactivity on walks and manners in the home!
