I can’t recommend Rayanne enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and what motivates them. What really impressed me was how they tailored the training sessions specifically to my dog, Rolo. She pinpointed exactly where he needed the most work, which in our case was staying calm in public.

Thanks to Rayanne’s guidance, Rolo has learned to be much quieter and less reactive in public settings. Now, I feel confident taking him to restaurants/outings. But most importantly, I’ve learned how to better communicate with him and give him the cues he needs to succeed. If you’re looking for a trainer who is both knowledgeable and easy to work with, Rayanne is the way to go!

“I have loved and raised a lot of dogs and cats over my lifetime and did it the way my parents taught me. The last 2 dogs I had as puppies was 14 years ago. My husband and I decided to get a puppy to fill the lonely place in our hearts from the loss of one of our senior dogs and I realized that training methods have probably changed in the past 14 years! We live in the boonies which made it inconvenient to travel to a trainer or to have the trainer come to us. That's where Rayanne comes in! She made it so easy to set up our virtual meetings where I could stay home. She is a very caring person and intuitive in helping me train our puppy. Of course, it was really me that she was training! She has helped me navigate through the typical puppy stages as well our unique situation in dealing with our senior dog who is blind. Everything she recommended has helped us survive the puppy stages. I have been consulting with Rayanne for 8 months now and will continue to use her expertise in the future. I highly recommend her!”

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Rayanne. Our dog Ace began having some behavior problems, including aggression, and we were very motivated to figure out ways to support him and reduce potential for aggression in stressful situations. We previously had an aggressive dog (who came from an abuse situation), and we learned that folks have varying responses to these dogs. We were worried with any trainer that they may refuse to work with Ace or that their ideas about aggressive dogs may negatively affect the way they worked with him. I am truly delighted to share that I never needed to worry about these things with Rayanne. She is exceptionally kind and non-judgmental, and I always felt that she had Ace's best interests as her focus, while understanding and integrating the context in which he was having issues. She was thoughtful and endlessly showed grace to both Ace and us, his parents! It was really exciting through this process to discover how smart Ace really is and his ability to quickly pick up skills. We focused in on chin rest as a skill to support Ace, especially at the vet, and we did lots of muzzle desensitization to help Ace feel comfortable should we need to use a muzzle for safety. Ace is really nailing it in both areas and we feel much more confident in our abilities to help him be successful! I am deeply grateful to Rayanne. If you're considering training for your animal, I cannot recommend her highly enough! You won't regret it.”
