Training with Rachel

​​​

I help busy families build calmer, more enjoyable lives with their dogs, without the stress of group classes or rigid training schedules.

​

All 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

​​

Whether you're struggling with stressful walks, a dog that won't settle at home, reactivity towards dogs or people, or you're bringing home a new puppy, I can help.

​

What I help with 
 

Behaviours around the house

  • Jumping up and overexcitement

  • Barking indoors or in the garden

  • Helping your dog relax and settle

  • Interactions with children and family life

 

Nervousness and reactivity 

  • Barking and reactivity towards dogs, people or other triggers

  • Helping anxious dogs feel more confident

  • Handling social situations calmly

​

Stressful walks

  • Pulling on the lead

  • Barking and lunging on walks

​

How it works

​​​​

1. We have a free initial chat to discuss your dog, what's proving challenging and what you'd like to achieve. No pressure, no obligation, just a conversation to see if I can help.

​

2. I put together a tailored training package based on your goals. Usually this would be between 3-6 sessions, with WhatsApp support throughout.

​

3. Our first session is usually at your home, then we move out to local outdoor spaces, depending on your dog's needs. 

​

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