Rachael started her journey with dogs in 2006 with her Border Collie Emme, since then she has spent her entire life learning about dog behavior and care. In the past 19 years she has traveled across the East Coast learning from as many dog experts as she could while training and competing with her own dogs. More than anything Rachael enjoys sharing her time with canine companions and she typically spends her days out exploring new hiking trails or throwing a ball for her furry guests. Rachael attended UMass Amherst and graduated in 2020 with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Sciences. While there she studied all kinds of animals and researched best practices for caring for domestic pets. While attending college Rachael worked at her local humane society in the kennel to help abandoned pets find their forever homes. After graduating she went on to work as a home based dog trainer under expert tutelage. Rachael lives on a 16 acre horse farm with her own two pups, Huzzah and Aven. The farm boasts many fenced in paddocks that boarding dogs are able to explore and enjoy. Visiting pets often go for walks in neighboring towns to ensure their enrichment and exercise goals are exceeded. If you think your pet would enjoy a rural vacation please reach out for availability!
