WELCOME!

Growing up with a great love for all of the dogs (and cats) in Rachels family, she was always the person friends and family came to for house and pet sitting. Eventually she found herself working in a pet grooming salon in 2012, where she began her professional pet care experience. Learning everything from grooming and nail trims, learning to identify skin issues, and understanding both common and uncommon signs of stress and health issues with pets, Rachel became fascinated with understanding dogs and dove deep into canine language. After a few years she made the decision to start a business and began by walking family and friends dogs, soon leading to her first *stranger* client! It wasn't long after she opened, she decided to put up the tuition for a Fundamentals of Dog Training program based out of California. Tug Dogs provided a wealth of knowledge. Taking each and every module and its curriculum very seriously, while still living at home, Rachel instilled training methods in all of her family and was proud to do so. ​ To this day, Rachel still loves all things dogs. (I mean, how could you not?!) She enjoys reading about dogs, meeting dogs, watching dogs interact with other dogs and their humans, and joyfully continues to educate herself through seminars, research, and online programs.
