Expert Canine: Behavior & Training

Rain was just wonderful. She made me feel confident and gave me the tools to continue training long after our sessions ended. I use those tools every day with my large Shepard. I have a huge improvement in recall, leash walking, reactivity, and overall behavior. I like that she uses positive reinforcement and I helped me gain trust from my dog. Rain was very responsive to issues that I ran into and called me after hours many time to talk through training issues that I was having. I believe that she really cares about her clients and I would recommend her 100%.

Rain is truly an expert in positive dog training. Her specialty is working with anxious and reactive dogs. She has helped us immensely with our 3-year-old reactive Carin Terrier. Her expertise has saved us a lot of time by teaching us how to properly train our dog without making things worse. We have worked remotely with her during the pandemic and feel we have gotten our money's worth many times over from her observation, advice and helpful videos. She is patient and answers all our questions. Because of her extensive experience, she anticipates problems we are likely to face when working out issues with our dog who is overcoming early-life trauma she suffered before coming to us. Rain helped us understand what our dog is going through and changed how we view her behavior. Rain is one

Rain is an incredibly professional, compassionate, and thoughtful dog trainer and behavior specialist. When I first adopted my rescued golden doodle, Rain helped me with her barrier (leash, car, fence, window) reactivity and separation distress. Rain instilled confidence in me as well as my dog, helping us both overcome the distress and embarrassment that comes from having a dog that sounds like a maniac on leash. We learned skills for long term behavior change and success, and my dog has gone from a skittish rescue to a confident companion. I highly recommend Expert Canine for dog training and behavior services.

I highly recommend Expert Canine. Rain helped us with our fearful rescue dog who would growl at my husband and anyone else besides me. We spent a couple thousand dollars trying to get our dog better with local trainers and even a boarding trainer. They did not help at all. In fact they probably made it worse. A couple of them even wanted to use a shock collar on our poor scared dog. We said no but I don't know what happened in boarding training. After that we found Rain. We felt hopeless and she made everything better. Now our dog loves us both and seems happy here and does not growl at my husband any more. We learned exactly what we needed with Rain. Many thanks to her.

Rain has been great. When we started I was very confused and unsure of why I wasn't able to help my dog do what he needed to do. She has helped me learn how to let my dog Charlie know what I want so that we are happier together. She is very helpful, very knowledgable, very skilled. I would recommend her services to anyone.
