Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

I first started working at a dog daycare on a whim right after college. It was supposed to be a very temporary transitional job, but I absolutely loved learning about dog behavior. It wasn't until I got my corgi, Guster, that I really got into training. I love working with him and teaching him new things. Our favorite thing to work on is trick training! Learning new tricks together solidified our relationship and taught me so much about how to communicate with him. He has made me a better trainer and challenges me to continue learning and practicing. I love teaching and working with owners to build a strong bond with their own dog and understand how to effectively communicate with them.

Certifications:

CPDT-KA

Dog training services include

More info about Rachel Drachman's dog training:

I provide private sessions for puppy socialization and training, basic obedience, advanced obedience, and reactivity. I teach group classes for basic and advanced obedience as well as reactivity.

Behavioral issue focus:

I often work with adolescent dogs on things like leash manners, impulse control, and general obedience. I also work quite a bit with reactivity in dogs.

Dog training methods:

When working with clients I start by getting some background information on their dog including the behaviors they are seeing and what their goals are. From there we determine the root cause for any problem behaviors and work to address them. I demonstrate and coach owners through any necessary behavior modification and teach alternate behaviors so they can practice and reinforce any desired behaviors.

Why I became a dog trainer:

I want to help people understand and communicate with their dog. Owning a dog should be fun for the human and the dog, not frustrating and difficult. I want to help owners be able to enjoy their dog, and help dogs live happy and fulfilled lives.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Many reactive dog clients come in for a session and are stressed and frustrated with their dog, understandably so. My favorite thing about training is working with people and helping to make them feel more comfortable and confident. I love when my clients feel that they understand their dog better and feel more confident and hopeful going forward with training.

My #1 dog training tip:

Whatever gets reinforced gets repeated.
