Rachel is truly amazing. Both Bella ,our 12 week old Giant Schnauzer, and my husband and I really look forward to her visits. Since Bella was 8 weeks old Rachel has been a part of our lives. Her help and advice are fantastic. With her help Bella is becoming a beautifully trained dog .Our family and friends are amazed. Rachel is kind,gentle and is teaching my husband and I to really understand Bellaand her needs .We have always had dogs, but small ones. Bella, along with Rachel's help,is going to be a truly wonderful experience.
Thank you Rachel. More...

Rachel is brilliant as both a trainer and dog walker. My girls love her and she fully understands them both and their different needs and backgrounds. Highly recommend to anyone.

I have assisted Rachel with rescue dogs with various behavioural and training issues and witnessed her working. She is always calm in her manner with the dogs and displays understanding of their individual needs. Rachel has a great understanding of body language and pays attention to what they communicate, showing respect and space where needed. She works with a hands off, force free methodology, with issues from seperation anxiety and OCD to resource guarding and aggression very successfully. I have also had personal advice from Rachel for my own dogs that has been sound and sensible. She problem solves along side the owner and has the knowledge to come at an issue from multiple angles if one method doesn't work. As long as the owner is willing to put in the work and training plan that Rachel sets out, I am certain they will see success. More...

In Rachel we feel like Bertie has found someone who understands him.
Bertie is very nervous especially of strangers we know that this is going to take time to work through, but with the exercises we have been given we are seeing this stress levels fall.
In just a few weeks he has gone from a dog pulling like mad to get home to a dog enjoying walks especially the sniffing.
We get lots of encouragement and feedback between sessions also the odd bit of additional homework for him.
We know all the hard work will pay off. More...

I have seen the transformation, that Rachel has created, in a dog who initially had severe guarding issues. I have watched the progress of dogs as they gradually go from too scared to move, to becoming dogs happily and actively seeking human touch. I have known dogs that have suffered abuse from humans. After spending time in Rachel's care, I have seen trust in those dogs eyes again. Rachel is exceptionally knowledgeable, and good at what she does. It's more than qualifications and credentials, although Rachel's are impressive, she really respects the dogs that she trains, and tailors the teaching to a way that best suits them. She never sets a dog up to fail. I would recommend Lovewalkies to anyone who has any training or behaviour concerns. More...

Rachel spent a lot of time asking questions and observing my dogs behaviour. She was able to identify triggers for the problematic behaviour and explain how it was maintained. Rachel gave us a number of techniques to employ to change the behaviour.....all of which were kind and positive. Following her visit she provided a full written account of the behaviours and training methods we had discussed.
When consulting lovewalkies you are buying access to a wealth of knowledge and understanding of dog behaviour that you can use to enhance your relationship with your dog and this investment is what leads to change. Excellent service and thankyou More...

Rachel has helped me so much with the dogs I have cared for. She really knows her stuff when it comes to dogs and her advice has always been spot on! Her love for animals is so obvious and she is clearly very passionate about the work she does. I honestly could not recommend her enough! She has been so helpful. Thanks Rachel!! More...

Our big pup Dougie had an eye operation today at our vets in Macclesfield. He commented on how well behaved Dougie had been all day for such a young pup. I explained he has had training. The vet asked where. When I told him it was with Rachel, he knew her and was aware of her experience and skill....he then said "well no wonder Dougie has been so good" � He went on to say how brilliant Rachel's training methods are in comparison to some other trainers who use far more bullying and aggressive techniques. Big accolade to Rachel and Love Walkies recognised and recommended by professionals ���������. More...

I have had the pleasure of seeing Rachel work with a variety of dogs, and the results she achieves are astounding. There are dogs living happily in homes, who may have had bleak futures if not for Love Walkies and Rachel's expertise. Her understanding of dogs, their behaviours, and their training needs, is second to none. What I admire most about Rachel is that she is living proof that dogs don't need to be forced or dominated in any situation. She uses methods that make learning fun for the dogs, and the people too. Her qualifications are impressive, but they are trumped by her friendly approach, her ability to explain the methodology of how she works, in a way that makes total sense, and the lovely caring rapport that is built between her, her clients, and the dogs. I would definitely recommend Rachel as a trainer and behaviourist to anyone who needs help. More...

Took my recently adopted reactive (to other dogs) dog to visit Rachel at the Barn in hope of improving walkies for him. A lovely, safe set-up where the dogs (and owners! ) soon relax. Huge thanks to Rachel. My dog responded straight away to her techniques, which were explained to me clearly so I understood what and why. We are currently reinforcing these techniques with lots of practice, but we seem to have found something that works! But most importantly, something that doesn't induce stress on me or my dog. We will be returning to the Barn very soon! More...

Love Walkies have completely educated and empowered us to help our Jack Russell, Dolly with her lead reactivity along with her general anxiety and stress levels. We have just taken her on holiday with us and we have experienced no problems at all, and thanks to Love Walkies that has completely transformed our ability to enjoy our holiday as well as improving the relationship between us and our dog. Rachel is an educator and helps you to understand why your dog is behaving in the way that she is, then provides you with the tools to make the changes you need to help you dog. She uses gentle and friendly techniques ensuring that your dog is happy and enjoys the sessions. Both of our dogs also continue to attend Love Walkies' weekly training sessions and they absolutely love it, as do we. Thank you so much for all of your help Love Walkies, your help has been a real life changer for us and our dogs. More...

Rachel is such a lovely & caring woman, who is an expert in her field. She has a beautiful, intuitive way of working with dogs, which produces results quickly, because your dog is calm & relaxed. It's all about promoting the bond between you & your dog & nurturing that, which I love. She is an expert in working with 'damaged' dogs & I don't think a dog exists that she can't help. Its always a gamble when you hire a dog trainer but with Rachel you know you are getting the best of the best & I can't recommend her enough More...

I have had the good fortune to have met Rachel from Love Walkies and attend a number of her training classes. I love the positive way that she teaches me to train my dogs and how it is a reward based system as opposed to a controlling style. The whole process leads to happier dogs and a much stronger relationship being built with my pets. I would highly recommend Rachel and Lovewalkies to anyone. More...
