Rachel Flatley is an accomplished trainer, competitor and teacher. Her classes, seminars and lessons with individuals have helped handlers achieve outstanding results. Rachel has earned nearly 300 performance titles on her own dogs (Boston Terriers, a Papillon and Border Collies) as well as titles on a Chinese Crested, a Scottish Terrier and a Corgi. Not only do her dogs perform with accuracy, their enthusiasm for their work is evident. Rachel consistently finishes in the top of her class with multiple dogs (in obedience, she has earned High In Trial awards on 5 different dogs). Rachel started her training school 11 years ago in the Gainesville area. She works full-time training dogs and their people in multiple venues (obedience, agility, rally and freestyle). She has written training articles for nationally circulated magazines as well as a booklet on optimizing practice time and not falling into common training pitfalls. Most recently Rachel has released “Training Meals”. This popular product is a deck of laminated cards containing instructions for mini training sessions for your dog at meal time (or any time).
The first seminar half-day session provides the beginning handler with techniques to communicate obedience elements using games and positive reinforcement.
The second seminar half-day session is scheduled after students have practiced the exercises on their own. The second session advances beginners in their handling skills by focusing on how to maintain attention to create enthusiastic heeling necessary for success.
