Rachel aims to be smooth and calm as a handler. She firmly believes that every mistake is an opportunity to learn. She loves the detail and precision of handling and the challenge of teaching skills to her dogs.

“I love to compete but I am pragmatic about my dogs and strive to help them be the best they can be in competition and life,” Rachel says.

As a coach, Rachel is passionate about helping students learn and understand agility. She is analytical and direct, but always tries to add humor to her teaching.

She also wants to challenge each handler to stretch beyond their expectations and set new goals of achievement: “I support each attempt and provide the encouragement to keep going.”

“The more I learn about how dogs understand Agility the more I am amazed that we created a sport that we originally didn't know how to do. Witnessing the evolution of this knowledge and the opportunities to improve our handling with this knowledge is both fascinating and exciting.”
