Louise and Rachel | Authors & Trainers
Hey there, I’m Rachel! In 2019, Louise and I begun transforming our dog training into useful online tools and resources that you can access today!
We filmed Albert (Louise’s puppy) every day for his first year to capture all aspects of his training in a real-life setting to form the building blocks to our courses and videos. Our vision has alway been to deliver real life training a real home environment so you too can learn how to fit a puppy into a the busyness and chaos of every day family life but still have a dog that is calm, relaxed, happy and obedient.
We now have grown into a larger group of Happy Hounds that we use in our videos. By sharing their progress, each one unique, you get a true representation of life with a puppy and how to bring out the very best in your furry friend!
All of our courses are regularly updated and all updates are free to existing students.
We would love to help you and your new puppy today!
