I’m Raychel!
Lovely to meet you!
I'm Raychel, and I'm dedicated to helping animal caregivers like you build meaningful and fun relationships with their four-legged friends.
With years of experience, qualifications and a deep understanding of animal behaviour, I have the expertise to guide you and your companion towards meeting your goals.
With an unwavering commitment to positive and compassionate training methods, I prioritise building trust, using clear communication and creating a safe and enjoyable learning environment for both you and your dog/ cat. I believe in developing a mutual understanding between you and your pet, because caring for an animal in your home is as much about responsibility as it is about love. I exclusively use up-to-date scientifically proven positive reinforcement methods so I can give you the best possible advice
I’d love to work with you.
Why this is the only job for me
I’ve always been fascinated by the unique bond between humans and animals. The family dogs that I grew up with as a child had a profound impact on my life. I spent many years volunteering with all sorts of animals from dogs and cats, to hedgehogs and swans. From rescue centres, rehabilitation centres, conservation groups to veterinary centres.
I went onto a degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and got Scrumpy (cockapoo) and he sparked my interest in animal behaviour. Then a couple years later, I purchased my house in 2020 I brought Sonny (cocker spaniel) home and worked on expanding my knowledge through my masters degree in anthrozoology and achieved the CCAB accreditation. I have also recently welcomed a Labrador pup into my life and planning to begin my PhD journey into Resource Guarding.
I now dedicate myself to this work. I believe that every companion animal deserves a loving home and their people deserves the joy of a well-behaved and happy furry friend.
I’m passionate about helping owners establish a deep and meaningful connection with their furry companions.
With years of experience and a genuine love for dogs and cats, I’m committed to providing effective and ethical training solutions tailored to meet your unique needs.

"Raychel has helped me with my scared rescue dog, Mila, for almost a year now. She is extremely patient and encouraging to both myself and Mila and we have both learned so much from her. She aligned with my beliefs in positive training and is hugely well informed on current pet behaviour and psychology. Thank you Raychel from both of us!."
