"Rachel has helped my dog train as a therapy dog to help children in schools. Not only with Rachel's help but also the reflective and mirroring behaviour of Bonnie is incredible. We;ve done countless hours of 1-2-1 training, parallel walking classes, confidence building classes and therapy dog training in schools. Rachel is amazing - thank you so much."
