I adopted my golden retriever when she was 7 months old. I had started to wonder if I had made the right decision because she was pretty out of control so I reached out to Rachel at AEG-k-9. I chose to do a 3 week board and train and was so happy with the results. Rachel is amazing and extremely talented. Not only did she make sure my dog was well trained, she made sure I was too! She gave me all the instructions and tips I would need in the future to stay consistent with my dog’s training and I am so happy with the results.

Rachel is absolutely amazing and has truly changed our lives for the better. When we dropped off Hazel, our sweet but very timid almost one year old mini Labradoodle, for a three week training, I was an anxious first time dog owner terrified to leave her in someone else’s care. But after receiving regular updates and seeing how well Hazel was doing, I knew we had made the right decision. Before training, Hazel would pull on the leash, bark at other dogs and people, and lacked confidence. After training, she has been doing great on walks and is even starting to open up to other people. This past weekend was the real test as we took her to a Fourth of July party with about 50 other people. She confidently held her place command even with all the noise, greeted new people, played with other dogs, and even relaxed in the pool - all while being incredibly behaved. We received so many compliments! I’ve never seen her so happy or confident before. Thanks to Rachel, Hazel can finally enjoy life with us. I’m beyond happy with the results and highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for help with their dog’s training!

Rachel provided a wonderfully down-to-earth and flexible dog boarding experience. She was incredibly accommodating, especially with my hectic schedule. My dog was well cared for, and I felt completely at ease. I’ll definitely be using her services again!

Rachel is excellent! My Maggie came back as a new dog! She sends video and pictures and is quick to respond to a text. I highly recommend her!
