Rachel spent countless hours in her teens on a working quarter horse ranch. It was there she first learned the power of positive training and a non-force based approach to communicating with another species. Rachel earned a B.A. in Social Sciences from The University of Michigan, and a Master’s Degree in Social Work (M.S.W.) from The University of Pennsylvania. She is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (L.I.S.W). Merging her passions for animals and social service, Rachel launched A Better Pet LLC in the fall of 1998 (becoming an LLC in 2000). Starting with pet dog training, and offering both private in-home & group services, Rachel naturally progressed into service dog training with a sub speciality in autism, psychiatric and mobility service dogs. “Inventor” was added to her resume with the creation of Har-Vest: 3-in-1 Backpack for Dogs, the first and only hybrid no-pull harness, vest/backpack and calming cape on the market today. Har-Vest has proven to be an amazingly functional and therapeutic product for pet and service dog animals, both on leash and off. The first section of THE SIX PILLARS OF DOG TRAINING WISDOM, an interactive program of study designed for both owners and dog trainers, is now available and is included at no cost for those who participate in private training. THE SIX PILLARS OF DOG TRAINING WISDOM helps demystify the process, making dog training easy and fun, regardless of your background, experience, learning style or goals. Rachel also offers a variety of programs for both owners and trainers (with additional options coming in 2019) and is available for public speaking. In addition to expert witness/evaluation services, pet-matchmaking consults, rescue/re-homing services, she has a small outpatient clinical therapy practice for clients F2F and through Talkspace.
