OUR PACK
Eric began his career in caring for animals when he worked as a vet tech for 5 years and doing behavioral work at the Humane Society. His heart would continually break when he would see people surrendering their pets because of behavioral issues. Knowing that nearly every behavioral issue can be fixed/managed with proper training he chose to pursue a career as a dog trainer/behaviorist. He is deeply motivated in helping people and their canine friends remain together. Eric is experienced in many methods of training as he recognizes that the only sure path to success is a path that the dog’s owner is comfortable using. Eric has been training dogs for over 15 years and has yet to meet a dog he couldn't help.
Rachel is an OU graduate with a Bachelor of Science. She began working for Invisible Fence after college. This is when she discovered that her path to happiness would be one with dogs walking beside her. With her knowledge of biology and an understanding of how a good diet is just as important for dogs as it is for humans she began to delve into the world of canine nutrition. She has been providing nutritional counseling for 10 years to clients and has helped clear up many ailments such as sensitive stomach, skin allergies and even behavioral issues with good nutrition. Rachel has developed relationships with local pet stores to ensure that her clients have a convenient place to get healthy food and treats for their dogs. Rachel is often found behind a camera lens photographing her favorite subject, dogs.
Charlie is a 15 year old American Field Lab. Mostly retired now he still works part time helping to evaluate and socialize dogs. Rachel adopted him at 8-weeks old. Charlie is vital to Dog’s Way Training Club (DWTC). He is a true representative of DWTC’s mission, to create a healthy, happy, well-mannered dog while still being able to be a dog. Charlie is also a certified therapy dog. When not working he loves playing Frisbee, keep away and getting hugs.
Gus also works full-time. He is a 9 year old American Foxhound/Beagle mix. Eric and Rachel fostered him, his brother and his mom. It only took a few days for Eric and Rachel to decide that Gus was going to be a member of the Willaert Pack. Gus is extremely high-energy and is happiest when he has a job to do. He loves to run, catch Frisbees, learn new tricks and climb trees. He has an unmistakable voice and is truly a hound at heart.
