Rachel is a holistic dog psychologist, helping dogs overcome behaviour problems and humans understand their dogs. Through her work, she coaches dog parents how to easily adjust the brain and body chemicals a dog needs to lead a calm and happy life. Sounds complicated but Rachel reminds us that anyone can do this and in her view it's essential that we embrace these simple steps!
Rachel has developed her knowledge through degree level studies in Psychology, complemented with a Canine Behaviour Diploma through the British College of Canine Studies which is accredited by the Pet Education Training and Behaviour Council. These as well as her additional qualifications in Research Methods and Canine Health and Nutrition all ensure her knowledge is based on up to date research.

This knowledge has helped her rehabilitate many dogs, some who's owners had been told their dogs could not be helped. She advocates against the use of aversive methods and particularly the use of pain or choking to remedy behavioural problems.
