Nantwich Dog Trainer Top Dog Again!

LUXlife magazine applauds the winners of this year’s Pet Products & Services Awards.
Nantwich based dog trainer Nose to Trail has once again been crowned Top Dog in a National competition with founder, Rachel Rodgers being awarded the accolade of Best Clinical Animal Behaviourist 2024 (UK) for the second year running from the LUXLife Pet Product & Services Awards.

As a Clinical Animal Behaviourist Rachel works with dogs who have established behaviour problems, specialising in dogs with separation related behaviour issues, commonly referred to as “separation anxiety”. These are dogs who struggle with being left home alone. This is often discovered due to the dogs barking to the point neighbours complain, owners coming home to toileting mess in the house or the dogs even trying to escape causing physical damage to the property and in very sad cases, to themselves.

Rachel works remotely with separation anxiety clients using cameras to observe the dog’s behaviour when they are left home alone and creating unique training plans with new guides for her clients issued daily during their training. Her success in supporting clients to get their independence back is what has led to her success in these awards.

LUXlife launched this programme to recognise and celebrate those delivering excellence through services and products dedicated to the health, wellbeing, and luxurious comfort of our pets. They said “Our award winners are devoted to improving the lives of all beings; from dogs and cats to farm animals and exotic pets, giving peace of mind and enjoyment to us as owners, these businesses and individuals are truly raising the bar for each and every one of their customers.

Awards Coordinator Laura O’Carroll commented on the achievements of our winners: “Our pets mean so much to us, and we know they each deserve the finest options for their health and wellbeing. Our winners have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to quality to improve the lives of our beloved pets, while helping us to feel like the greatest pet parents out there.
