Training humans to speak dog

Rachelle's Ruff Riders is an in-home dog training business in Magnolia, Texas that also serves Tomball, Conroe, The Woodlands and nearby north Houston areas. Trainer Rachelle Trafton is a CPDT-KA certified professional dog trainer with over 5 years of hands-on experience and says she has trained thousands of dogs.

Method

Training is science-backed and relationship-focused, using classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and management and prevention. Rachelle uses positive reinforcement and fear- and pain-free methods rooted in compassion and clarity.

Services

In-home private training covers puppies (socialization, crate and potty training, biting, jumping, barking) and basic manners (leash pulling, door dashing, counter surfing, recall and focus). Behavior help targets minor reactivity, fear and overarousal. A board and train for manners or puppies and luxury boarding both take one dog at a time in her home. Consultations are free.

One client wrote that after one session there were "so many helpful tips and tricks" for her two dogs.
