Hello Pet Parents,
My name is Rachel, and I own Rachel’s Pet Care, LLC. I offer various services, including daily pet drop-ins (20-25 minute short visits, petting sitting drop-ins (2-3 hour visits). If you’re looking for training while you’re away from home, or need support in your dog's training services. I offer pet walk and train drop-ins, private in-home puppy coaching, and private one-on-one pet behavior modification teaching, if you’re looking for pet care that includes training for your dog or puppy who needs additional support while away from home. I do provide behavioral modifications for your older dog who might be experiencing some unpleasant behaviors, or perhaps you need puppy training. The Puppy training provides helpful guidance throughout your puppy’s development stages to help your puppy become a healthy adult dog.
I do wear many hats! I believe in taking those first individual steps into puppy/ dog ownership. It shouldn’t matter if you’re adopting or rescuing a puppy or dog.
I do specialize in working with puppies as they enter their new home. Puppies go through different development stages before entering adulthood. However, Pet ownership can have some amazing benefits and some challenges as well. I do know this from my own experiences.
This is why training your puppy before they enters adulthood is essential.
However, this doesn't mean unpleasant behaviors can’t arise at any time throughout the dog’s life. Having someone walk you through those unpleasant behaviors and creating a behavior modification solution is essential.
At times, unpleasant behaviors can arise out of nowhere due to fear, anxiety, or nervous energy, either from the dog or the owner or both, or maybe a negative experience. I am here to help with those behaviors and give you the support and guidance you and your dog will need.
I know from experience that puppies have a positive growing-up experience and proper training during the different stages, but they still develop some fearful behaviors. I want you to know I am here for you throughout your pup's life! I had two pups with different fears.

My puppy program is called “ Pawistive puppy coaching”. It starts with basic knowledge of understanding the puppy’s “ body language.” In the dog world (animal kingdom), all animals speak through their body language, so the lack of communication between humans and dogs is more challenging. The puppy doesn’t understand a foreign language. This is when mistakes can happen between humans and dogs. Humans speak using verbal language, but dogs do not! This is when frustration can occur between dogs and humans. In my program, you will learn to communicate through your body language and visualization cues before learning verbal cues. The reason for this is that so many dogs are relinquished to shelters due to behavioral issues that can be solved with just a little knowledge and patience.

I adopted both my dogs from shelters as puppies. They both had some fear-based behaviors. I have experience working with fearful dogs. I had my own! Some pups or even older dogs might have stressors known as triggers that cause nervousness around humans, noises, etc, or Anxiety dogs who might have some issues being left alone or might have nervous energy around new places, or riding in cars. I know the importance of the transition of a puppy or dog into their new home environment; With years of experience as a young girl living on a horse ranch with lots of cattle dogs, who had to train horses alongside training puppies, and my genuine love for animals, I ensure your pets receive the best care possible.
