Helping your dog feel more confident and find peace
Empowering You and Your Canine Companion
Does your dog seem nervous in new situations? React strongly to loud noises or unfamiliar people? Avoid interactions or struggle to relax? You’re not alone—and I am here to help. Whether your dog’s anxiety stems from fear, past trauma, or simply an overactive response to their environment, I offer expert advice, practical tools, and compassionate guidance to help them feel safe and secure. I believe that every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I focus on empowering you with the tools and knowledge you need to support your dog and by fostering trust and offering tailored solutions, I aim to help anxious dogs and their owners enjoy happier, more peaceful lives together.

“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!”

"Raychel was amazing with our dog. Tilly was nervous and shy at first but took everything in her stride and alongside this formed a bond with Raychel. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you"

FAQs
-
When your animal is anxious or nervous a behaviour support package is more appropriate to address this. Raychel has devised 'Behaviour Packages' that involve an in-depth assessment of your dog in order to provide you with the best possible advice. Behaviour issues can be complex and need a more in-depth approach, including nervousness, noise phobias, fearful behaviour etc would be need to seen in a full behavioural consultation.
The training packages are less in depth and only suitable for training issues (things you want your dog to do) such as loose lead walking, recall, to focus on you etc would be one of the training packages, either in one, three or six sessions.
-
Consultations with Raychel require a veterinary referral. Your vet will first need to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be affecting your dog’s or cat's behaviour. This process is in line with the Veterinary Surgeons Act and the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors code of conduct. ANY qualified behaviourist that you contact should adhere to this practice.
-
Whilst I cannot guarantee specific results, my training programmes are designed to achieve positive changes. I can’t wait to give you the support and guidance you need, to help you and your dog succeed.
-
I use positive reinforcement techniques, focusing on rewarding desired behaviours rather than punishing unwanted ones. This approach ensures a safe and enjoyable learning environment for your dog and promotes long-term behavioural changes.
-
In the behaviour packages (bronze, silver, gold) your initial consultation will be two to three hours long. The first half will be an in-depth discussion about your dog, their background, behaviour presentations and then motivations. Understanding your dog is important for you to be able to embark on your behaviour modification journey as a team.
The second half of the consultation is practical - training cues that are going to be useful in your dogs rehabilitation, along with your plan
Note: The mini consultation/ assessment package is a maximum two hours (suitable for less complex issues) so if you would prefer more practical or time in your session, it is recommended to go for a full consultation.
