I have known Em and seen her with dogs for years. She is competent, compassionate and extremely experienced in dog training and rescue. Em would be the first person I’d call to help with my pup for any training needs!

Emily is a brilliant and gentle dog trainer. She's so good at what she does, and it is clear she loves animals and training them. She completely changed my pups behavior ! Do yourself a favor and give Emily a try. You won't regret it.

My dog was having accidents only when staying at a particular house, and Emily was really helpful in identifying the core issue. She pointed out that the previous tenants probably had a dog pee on the carpet and never had it professionally cleaned. This made Maya treat the house like an en-suite bathroom. We had the carpets professionally cleaned, and that completely resolved the issues. Emily asked very detailed questions that helped us get to the core of the issue. I appreciate that she was available to troubleshoot the problem when it came up. Her responsiveness and friendliness made a big difference. Thanks again, Emily, for your invaluable help! I highly recommend her as a dog trainer.

Emily worked successfully with several of my foster dogs over the years. She has The critical thinking skills and intuition that I haven’t heard from other trainers. She knows behavior inside and out. She took one of the most fearful dogs I know, and helped him gain confidence so that the dog was able to integrate into an adoptive household beautifully. Emily‘s communication skills are very understandable and cohesive. She gives her heart to each dog she helps, and provides follow through and thorough plans. It has been Really great to work with her and I hope to continue!

Emily has been exactly what us + our 1 year old aussie doodle needed. At around 10 months old all of a sudden our happy confident pup became riddled with general anxiety and became reactive to new people. He could barely handle a car ride. After working with a few other behavioral trainers and not getting anywhere, we found Emily. Finally someone who provided more than just saying to try additional enrichment. She was flexible and understanding to set up a situation where she could evaluate what was going on several times, and has patiently helped provided concrete science backed approaches to help with navigating adolescent dog reactivity. The path to managing and helping an anxious dog is long, but Emily will stay with you providing education and empowerment through it all.
