Rachel has been dog crazy since she was ten years old when her family got their first dog. From that day on, it was all about the dogs! She enjoyed training her dog Shadow to do obstacle courses, tricks, and to swim. She’s a Montana native and graduate of University of Montana Western. While in college, Rachel worked at the local animal shelter cleaning kennels, training, helping with vet procedures, and grooming. She also worked part time in a grooming salon. Rachel has lived in Billings for nine years, where she enjoys being a part of the local dog community. She continues to offer training services and some dog walking, while competing in dog sports with her own dogs.
