Welcome to Paws Down Dog Training! My name is Rachael, and I’m deeply passionate about helping dogs and their owners build strong, trusting relationships that lead to a peaceful and harmonious life together.

My mission is simple: to bridge the gap between dogs and their humans by teaching effective, positive training methods that create a bond built on understanding, respect, and love. Whether it’s addressing behavioral challenges, teaching foundational obedience, or helping new puppies adapt to their forever homes, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Beyond training, I have a heartfelt dedication to shelter dogs. Volunteering my time at Stealing Hearts Rescue has been a profoundly rewarding experience. I believe every dog deserves a chance to thrive, and I work hard to help these incredible animals overcome their challenges, find homes, and discover their best selves.

At Paws Down Dog Training, I strive to create not just well-behaved dogs, but also confident, happy companions who enhance your life as much as you enhance theirs. Together, let’s create the peaceful, comfortable environment you and your dog deserve.

Thank you for trusting me with your dog’s journey—I can’t wait to meet you!
