Rachel Rodgers is an experienced dog trainer and behaviourist based in Cheshire, UK. Having worked with a range of species, from dolphins to dogs, Rachel went on to be a manager for the RSPCA and Dogs Trust Dog School. She has a PGCE (Professional Graduate Certificate in Education) and has spent time as a lecturer in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and Canine Behaviour and Training. 

Dog Training and Behaviour is an unregistered industry, so it is important you pick your trainer carefully.

With a Master's degree in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare Rachel has a thorough theoretical knowledge to underpin her practical skills. 

Rachel is a fully accredited member of Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), number 01367.

She is also working towards Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist status with the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors and is therefore a provisional member. 

In November 2018 Rachel was awarded Animal Trainer of the Year at the inaugural Animal Star Awards. 

Long gone are the days of dominance theory! Here at Nose To Trail we believe in keeping your bond with your dog strong. That's why we use reward based training and the least intrusive, minimally aversive methods to help you modify your dog's behaviour. We follow strict code of conducts to keep our accreditations, and will only take on behavioural cases after correspondence with your vet.  

Everything we do is with the aim of increasing your dog's happiness and well being, and we aim for you to have fun along the way too.
