I’m Rachael, the trainer behind Assured Canine Training. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and a wide range of other animals. But my real journey into dog training began when I brought home a sweet puppy who developed severe anxiety when left alone without a human.

After her first major emergency surgery, her anxiety worsened, and I knew I needed help. I reached out to trainers and behaviorists, but nothing truly helped her or gave us lasting relief. That’s when I made the decision to study dog behavior and training myself—not just to help her, but to truly understand her needs and how to support her.

Now, I use everything I’ve learned—along with real-world experience—to help other dog owners navigate their own challenges. My mission is to support dogs and their people with compassion, clarity, and practical training that makes a lasting difference.
