Today marks the final day of classes for The Dog Path in Washington.
I wanted to say how lucky I’ve been to work with each of you. Working with dogs has given me the opportunity to meet some of the best people in the PNW who allowed me into their lives and gave me the privilege of getting to know them, their families, and their amazing dogs.
The West Coast gave me a whole new language in dog training through positive reinforcement and the ability to listen to each individual animal and human to make them a better team together and improve their relationships. K9 Nose Work gave me the chance to bolster those relationships and keep the fun in training for the team and myself.
I’ve learned from incredible teachers, mentors, and colleagues, too many to name, and several of which I’m now lucky enough to call friends.
I’ve learned and grown from each person and dog and every one of you has made me a better trainer and a more complete person. Thank you for the years of support, learning together, and invaluable experiences. I’ll take all these with me as I continue my training journey in my home state of Pennsylvania and hold them with me forever.
Thank you for everything!
❤️ Rachael
