Hired on Thumbtack

She is wonderful. We’ve only had my deaf dog for a month now and he’s made tremendous improvements already! She helps me in between sessions to when I have questions about my dog and never makes me feel like I am a burden! I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family!

Hired on Thumbtack

I decided to get a puppy (alone) for the first time in my life. She is a Yorkie and was 3 months old. I am a stickler for a tidy house and after 2 weeks of trying to potty train her (and a lot of accidents), I was about to give up (had actually found someone to give her too). Then it came to me to try and hire a trainer to come to the house. I looked on Thumbtack and had 4 quotes. Rachel was the 2nd trainer that I spoke with and I told her my story. Not only did she listen, she showed empathy and understanding. I told her what I had in mind and she explained that she would be willing to come to the house and train but suggested that the 3 week boarding/training program in her home would probably work best. Her prices were VERY reasonable and she told me what I needed for the training and I dropped off Coco a couple of days later. Rachel updated me daily with videos/photos along with reports. After the 2nd day I was so impressed and excited! After 3 weeks of boarding/training Rachel came to my home and dropped Coco off. She took almost 2 hours showing me not only the potty training but also the obedience commands that Coco had learned. She left and followed up with notes that I could follow. Coco has been home for almost a week now and she is THE BEST PUPPY EVER! Following Rachel’s instructions/guidance Coco has obeyed every command and has not had one accident in the house! Rachel continues to check up on her everyday! She is truly an amazing puppy/dog trainer!!

I recently adopted a five month old golden doodle with a lot of energy and no training. I contacted Rachel and boarded her for a-two week training class. She came back a different dog. She still had the energy, but listened to my commands. Anyone who asks about dog training, I always give out Rachel’s name. She is wonderful.

Rachel has been the best trainer for our dog Elvis. She has imparted the basic obedience and off leash training to Elvis and it has been awesome. The most important factor with Rachel is that she gives a personal touch to everything. She is very knowledgeable, professional, punctual, always available for any queries we have and teaches very clearly and passionately to the dogs and to the dog parents as well. You’ll get regular updates from her in the form of pictures, videos if you leave your dog for boarding with her. We recently took a one month trip to India and the only reason we were able to do it without any anxiety was because we knew our baby Elvis was safe and happy with Rachel. You cannot go wrong with a person who loves dogs. Rachel is a gem of a person and we completely trust her with our little one.

We sent our silver lab to Rachel back in March for dog aggression. She had him for 3 weeks. He went there with no manners and scared to death of other dogs. Today he is so well behaved, walks with no leash and can be around other dogs with out being scared or aggressive. She took him and transformed him! We are so thankful for her! Here is a picture from this weekend with my parents dog that he did not get along with before his training, and now look at him sleeping peacefully right beside him!
