Pup-ular with Clients
I can't say enough good things about Rachel. She worked with us to help our rescue puppy get started on a good footing. She showed us some great techniques to prevent reactive behavior. We are so happy we were able to work with Rachel and highly recommend her!
My puppy and I absolutely adored working with Rachel. She is one of the most thoughtful, engaging, kind, caring people, and my puppy (while lovable) is not the easiest.
Do not hesitate with Rachel - she really is the best of the best.Rachel is an amazing dog trainer! We had previously done some group classes elsewhere, but were not getting the results we wanted. Hiring Rachel was the best thing we ever did for our dog.
The individualized training was incredible.I was impressed how quickly we started to notice a change in my Yorkie’s behavior. If you’re having any type of behavioral issues with your dog I would 100% recommend a session. Did I mention our sessions were all through FaceTime too? So convenient!
Rachel is a wonderful dog trainer! Patient, positive, encouraging, & explains clearly w/ useful demonstrations. I love that she offers full explanations for each technique & the rationale behind them. My 6-month poodle has thrived w/ her positive reinforcement approach to training.
Rachel is really great. She helped us with our 8 month old adoption puppy a bunch with barking and being better walking on the leash more calmly, nipping at us, and resource guarding. She gave us a lot of techniques and ways to help him (and ourselves!) be less anxious and aggressive.
I cannot say enough good things about Rollins Dog Training. Rachel is amazing - she taught our dog everything, from how to walk properly to all kinds of tricks. People are amazed when he (happily) performs for them! Whatever the issue is, Rachel will know. We can't do without her.
Rachel is fantastic. My dog loves her so much & I appreciate all she has done for us. Very organized & punctual. Rachel's experience as a trainer identified anxiety issues in my dog & provided correction & custom training. She is incredibly patient & caring with both the dogs & humans.
Professional, knowledgeable, very patient with pups & owners. Listens attentively, makes her own observations, drafts an action plan, & follows through with enthusiasm. One of those people who is devoted to her career & clients. Highly recommend!
Rachel is a fantastic trainer! She has instinctive skills with pups, and really understands the psychology behind their behavior. Amazing! I'd recommend her to anyone and any doggy.
Rachel is an incredible trainer. She helped us potty train our bernedoodle puppy in a matter of weeks & gave us tools to prevent all the classic puppy behaviors (chewing, counter surfing, pulling on leash). It’s amazing how quickly you can see results with positive reinforcement training.
Rachel is everything a client could want in a dog trainer: communicative, organized, dedicated, patient, positive, & intuitive. When our dog suddenly started having accidents, Rachel was able to pinpoint a cause even before our vet did & to address the behavioral effects of a health issue.

Positive reinforcement training uses approached training by using rewards to promote good behavior. Contrary to the popular myth, this does not mean that we allow unwanted behavior to take place unchecked.
Through the use of crate training as well as play pins, baby gates, and many other safety techniques, we restrict the ability to perform bad behavior while training alternative good behaviors.
Many dogs (especially young dogs) will be a bit anxious for a short while when their owner leaves them home alone. Most dogs that start out upset about being left home alone will eventually be able to calm down and rest after a short period of time.
When a dog spends an hour or more crying, pacing, or being destructive in the house then they might be suffering from separation anxiety. If this is the case with your dog then specialized training to help develop new coping skills is the only way to help cure this condition.
Rollins Family Dog Training is specially certified to help with this specific form of anxiety disorder. Please schedule a free phone consultation today!
