Psychology. Relationship. Fulfillment.

Consultation

Let's talk! Consultations are the ​first step in your training journey. ​We will have an in-depth ​conversation about your goals, ​lifestyle, and relationship with ​your dog. Together we can ​discuss what fulfills your dog, ​what could be missing in your ​relationship, and how to create ​balance in your life together. I will ​explain what approach I believe ​will work best to achieve those ​goals and set up a plan of action ​to implement moving forward. ​This is a great time to ask ​questions and see if I would be a ​good fit for you and your pup. ​To schedule a consultation, fill ​out the contact form or send me ​an email!

Complimentary

Owner training private ​sessions

These private 1:1 hourly sessions give ​you the opportunity to learn to train ​your dog with my support. We will ​implement the customized plan ​created just for you at the initial ​consultation and I will guide you ​through different methods, ​strategies, and tools to help you ​achieve your desired goals. You will ​then be expected to practice on your ​own time until the next session to ​maintain progress.

Foundations

In this 6-8 week program, you and ​your dog will learn the basics of ​crate, place, and loose leash ​walking. This is where you should ​start if your dog doesn't have an ​off switch, if your dog pulls on ​leash, if your dog is destructive in ​the house, or if you’ve just adopted ​a dog and don’t know where to ​begin. On place, in the crate, or by ​your side are the 3 safe zones ​where your dog can go to feel at ​ease. We will be working on state of ​mind, creating calm associations ​with place and crate, as well as your ​connection on leash. Each session is ​60 minutes. Individual training ​sessions come with video of what ​was worked on that day for your ​reference. At the end of our 6-8 ​sessions, you will have a better ​understanding of how to ​communicate, connect, and ​continue your training journey ​towards a healthier, more ​harmonious life with your dog.

TRAINING AND ​ENRICHMENT VISITS

These visits are for dogs who ​have gone through our ​foundations program or our ​puppy program. These hourly ​visits are designed to physically ​and mentally fulfill your dog ​during the work week. In these ​sessions, we maintain training ​while adding enrichment to their ​day. Depending on the dog, the ​weather, and the mood of the ​day, these activities will vary. ​Some examples are pack walks, ​exposure to new environments, ​place work, structured play, ​confidence building, treadmill ​work, cooperative care, among ​other things. I believe that giving ​dogs a variety of activities keeps ​them engaged and challenged. ​These sessions can be catered to ​your dog's specific needs if ​requested. Video footage of ​what was worked on will be ​available through a shared album ​for your reference.

We will be working on various ​things including recall, co-operative ​care, obedience, diet, daily schedules, ​leash work, thresholds, boundaries, ​exposure, structured play, body ​language, separation, potty training, ​breed fulfillment, and more. You will ​learn how to develop the leadership role ​in your relationship and how to better ​communicate with your pup. Video ​footage of each individual training ​sessions will be provided through shared ​album for your reference.

Day train

Day trains are designed to tackle ​multiple behaviors or skill sets at a ​time. During a 4 hour window, I will ​work on the plan of action discussed ​in our initial consultation. You will ​receive video footage of what was ​worked on so you can implement it ​and practice on your own. A follow ​up Owner Training session 1-2 weeks ​later is recommended so we can work ​though any kinks that may have ​come up and adjust our training plan ​as necessary.

Gu​s

"Rachel has not only trained ​my dogs to be good 4-legged ​citizens of our community but ​she has also deepened our ​family's love and relationship ​with them. She is ​knowledgeable, dependable,​ and patient and has given us​ the gift of a deeper connection​ with our sweet Elie & Gus."​

Po​ppy

"We are so grateful to have ​Rachel training not only Poppy, ​but us too! Her training has ​changed our mindset and ​deeply impacted our day to ​day in the most positive way. ​Poppy has gone from a spoiled ​brat to a fulfilled part of our ​family."

Sc​otch

“We've been working with ​Rachel at Pawsitive Vibes PNW ​for almost 2 years now, and she ​is amazing. Not only has she ​helped train our pup, but she ​trains us too! She is always ​finding creative ways to ​stimulate the dogs she works ​with and our pup loves being a ​part of her pack. We can't ​recommend her enough!”​

Cass

"Rachel has been working with our dog, Cass, since Nov 2021. Cass struggled with separation ​anxiety and we were worried about his safety during the short periods of time when he ​needed to be left at home. (We tried crate training him on our own and it proved traumatic ​for all of us... making Rachel's mission even more difficult.) Cass would spend a few hours a ​week with Rachel and she would send us progress photos/videos of their sessions. (My ​favorite was a video of Rachel and Cass in the crate together... Cass had so much anxiety ​about his first time back in the crate that he was shaking. She sat with him to keep him ​company and massaged his shoulders and legs to help him relax.) Rachel was so patient ​and supportive with him! She took the time to go at his pace and she worked with my ​partner and I to continue the progress at home. Just last week, Cass spent 2+ hours calm, ​quiet hours in his crate all by himself- something that I didn't think was possible for him! ​Rachel has worked miracles with Cass and has been an invaluable resource for us in ​navigating how best to work through his anxiety. We trust her completely and couldn't ​recommend her highly enough!"

Ro​sie

"Rachel is such an amazing ​dog trainer! We have had such ​a wonderful experience ​working with her over the last ​year. She not only has helped ​us train and connect with our ​new puppy, but giving us ​many tips on working with our ​elder dog too. You can tell with ​every interaction Rachel has ​with our dogs, she truly cares ​about them and the ​relationship she is helping you ​build with them. Her calm and ​understanding training ​techniques have brought so ​much growth in both of our ​pups. I have had multiple dogs ​over the years, and tried ​various training locations & ​programs, but working with ​Rachel has by far been the best ​experience we have ever had!"
