Overcome your struggles and thrive together

Hi, I’m Rachael!

Consider me your trusty mediator, here to help you and your dog foster a mutual understanding that makes life better for both of you. I don’t take sides and I don’t judge.

I’m here to help you and your dog communicate clearly with one another, so you can thrive side by side in harmony.

Rachael Gwynne Forseti Dog Training and Behaviour

Why Forseti?

Forseti is one of the lesser-known Norse Gods.

He may be rarely mentioned, but he holds an important role, one of settling disputes.

Known as the God of Justice, he regularly practices mediation to ensure the fairest outcomes to all involved. And that’s exactly what you can expect from me.

A fair and gentle dog trainer who considers both you and your dog, and helps you find your way to a happy co-existence with one another.

Do you want to have better control of your dog?

Well, you’re in the right place… sort of!

You see, at Forseti, we work to help your dog master their own self-control, to give your dog agency in their life and to allow them the freedom to make good choices.

But my dog doesn’t make good choices I hear you cry!

Oh, they will. With guidance, encouragement and rewards for making awesome choices, you’ll soon be confident in your dog’s ability to choose to be a superstar!

You’ll discover how much happier you’ll both be when you build trust, understanding and cooperation.

“Control is an illusion” – Melody Beattie

We talk about control a lot when talking about our dogs… but it’s a horrible word. How would you feel if your every move, desire and response to things was controlled?

Horrible right?

Now, imagine how you’d feel if you were supported, guided, and trusted to make your own good choices. If you didn’t have to hold everything in, but you were free to express yourself (appropriately, of course!)

There’s another win to ditching control – and this one’s for you!

What would it feel like if you had to spend all day, every day trying to control your dog? Exhausting right? And not great for your relationship either.

There is another way….

When you train with me, you and your dog will learn to co-exist without the battle for control. Your understanding of one another will soar, and bumbling along happily together will become your status quo.

I want to help you learn how to get the best from your dog

Our dogs have evolved over thousands of years and the relationship between [hu]man and dog is like no other.

We have bred specific traits and created multiple breeds – my role is to help you understand these, so that you can use them to motivate your dog, strengthen your relationship and co-exist in harmony.

I work with dog owners to bring out the best in their dogs and support them to succeed in our crazy human world. With a supportive dog trainer at your side, you will understand each other and enjoy the life you’ve always dreamed of together!

German Shepherd Training

I absolutely love German Shepherds. They are an incredible breed who are all too often misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t need a firm hand and a large dollop of control.

German Shepherds and other large breeds respond just as well to positive dog training techniques as smaller breeds. They don’t need a powerhouse dog trainer or dominance to elicit great behaviour, they need the same level of understanding and gentle guidance as any other being.

Brute force, aversive equipment and being the boss won’t make either of you feel any good. You’ll still be feeling helpless and your channels of communication will only be rendered more damaged.

Instead, step into a new way of training that feels good, builds your bond and delivers triumphant improvements without the struggle.

“A significant impact on our daily life”

Rachael has provided us with such great support as we have learned to understand and positively manage our reactive high energy and high prey German Shepherd Luna.

She provided constructive challenges and ways to change how we respond to situations (training the humans) and created great practice scenarios which have had a significant impact on our and Luna’s daily life.

I genuinely don’t know what we would have done without her amazing training and support. Thank you!
