Training with Rachel

​​

I work with busy families who want their dog to fit calmly into family life, without the stress of group classes or rigid training schedules.

​

All my training is bespoke, 1-to-1 and built around what matters most to you and your family.

​

Based in Petts Wood, I work with families across Orpington, Bromley, Locksbottom, Chislehurst and surrounding areas.

Who I help

 

Local families juggling work, kids and busy lives who want practical training that fits into their life and their routines.

​

Whether you're struggling with stressful walks, a dog that won't settle at home or you're bringing home a new puppy, I help you get things calmer and more manageable.

​

Behaviours around the house

  • Jumping up and overexcitement

  • Barking indoors or in the garden

  • Helping your dog relax and settle

  • Helping anxious dogs feel more confident

  • Handling social situations calmly

​

Stressful walks

How it works

​​​​

1. We have a free chat to talk about your dog, your household and what you'd like to work on. No pressure, no obligation, just a conversation to see if I can help.

​

2. I put together a tailored training package based on what you need. Usually this would be between 3-6 sessions over a few weeks, with WhatsApp support throughout.

​

3. Our first session is at your home, then we move out to local outdoor spaces as needed, depending on what we're working on. We'll make sure training sessions fit around your life and routines.

​

4. You'll get clear, practical steps you can follow immediately after each session. No complicated plans or unrealistic expectations.
