Mountain Bound K9

Raquel is absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Kodi and Juneau. I noticed a positive difference in their behavior after working with her, especially with my nervous Aussie. We love how she uses play to shape new behaviors and work dogs through their fears. I felt comfortable leaving them in her home, knowing they were safe, cared for, and loved. I couldn’t recommend her more highly for both training and dog sitting!

I sent my dog down to Raquel for some basic commands and leash training. She was very good with Mac and me, explaining everything and sending me videos and pictures. I would text her all the time asking how he was and if he was doing ok and she always took the time to answer. Very professional and she treated Mac like one of her own. I like the fact that when I went to pick him up she gave me a sheet of commands and ways to continue with his training. Mac is doing very well and I’m learning to be strong on my end too. I would recommend Raquel for training to anyone who needs it.

Raquel is an expert in dog training. She grounds her love of dogs with sound behavioral expertise. She has helped me to understand dog behavior and how best to bond with my dog to succeed with her training. I also feel very reassured when I board my dog with Raquel. I know that I can trust her to consider my dog's needs and that she isn't simply collecting a paycheck (saying that because there are some places I've boarded my dog where it is clear that is the case, unfortunately). I can tell my dog trusts her every time my reluctant pup goes over to Raquel quickly and excitedly for pets - my dog feels safe too. I have recommended Raquel to everyone struggling with training. Raquel takes training seriously and provides professional, thorough sessions. You can trust your pup with Raquel!

I purchased a puppy from Raquel in August 2023 - I am absolutely thrilled with everything about my puppy and my experience with Raquel as a breeder. She is a responsible breeder, doing all the proper health testing, and ensuring the parents are wonderful testaments to the breed. She did a phenomenal job raising this litter, the puppies were all well socialized, healthy, and happy. The temperament testing and our discussions led Raquel to match us with the most perfect puppy for us. He is everything we wanting in a dog and more. Raising him has been a wonderful experience, made all the better by being able to regularly chat with Raquel about the puppies. I feel so much privilege to have a great relationship with my puppy’s breeder - we regularly talk about the puppies, training, and more. Raquel has given us wonderful advice about diet, training, and raising a well rounded puppy. As a trainer, I work with a lot of puppies and my puppy from Raquel stands out as confident, happy, playful, and well mannered. He is very special and has inherited so many incredible traits from his parents. I am beyond thrilled to have a puppy from Raquel and I know that we will have life long support from her. Raquel gives the same high level of care and attention to her dogs, puppies, and clients’ dogs - if you have the opportunity to work with Raquel, don’t hesitate. I wish all of my clients had a breeder like Raquel!
