Introduction: UpSwing Canine Behavioral Services offers private, in-home training, in the comfort of your own home. Each session is tailored to your individual dog's needs and all lesson plans are carefully constructed by a credentialed and experienced professional - especially for your unique dog! We are dedicated to helping you to actually understand and communicate effectively with your dog in a kind way. We put a heavy emphasis on building your relationship up with your dog while providing fun and enrichment during your dog's session. We give you the tools necessary and most importantly, we teach you how to teach your dog. Dogs are learning every second of every day, so you need to make sure they are learning the right things! We deal with many different kinds of behaviors from simple manners to complex anxiety, fears, reactivity and aggression. With nearly 20 years working with dogs, Rachel is the only Certified Canine Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA) in Butler County and she has been held to a high standard for testing to achieve such. She maintains her credentials with continuing education credits to assure that all methods are the most up to date. Training has evolved - we know so much more now than ever about how our dogs think and why they engage in certain behaviors. Our pet dogs have been misunderstood for far too long. Myths and archaic training tactics have been normalized and passed down, but it is now time for a change. Are you ready to learn more about your dog? We can't wait to teach you!

Rachel is an excellent trainer. She is very thorough and detailed throughout the whole process. I went to Rachel with help for my rescue dog. He has severe anxiety and vision issues. Rachel was able to provide me with step by step techniques that enabled my dog to feel at ease. Rachel also showed me basic commands and advanced techniques for behavioral issues. Rachel is extremely compassionate and patient with all her clients. I highly recommend Rachel if you want a successful outcome in your dog training.

Rachel is amazing!!! I don't know where to begin. My dogs adore her! She has worked with my 1 year old Lab Mix, Lizzie Sue, on multiple occasions for advanced enrichment activities, one-on-one training, introductions at daycare, and most recently group Trick Dog Training Classes. I have noticed a huge difference in her since working with Rachel. She's more attentive and listens so much better! The biggest difference is how I have learned to be patient with her and how to properly ask her to do the things. Rachel's skills, knowledge, and passion shine through with everything that she does. We love Rachel and look forward to working with her more in the future!

Rachel is awesome! She truly has a passion for teaching dogs (and their owners). She was a wonderful resource when I fell into the world of trick training with my youngest dog. If you're in need of a wonderful trainer, look no further!
