Brilliant Pup Behavior

I can not say enough great things about Emily, her skills, her knowledge set, her empathy, or her training style. She spent thirty minutes with my young field lab and not only assessed him accurately, but knew exactly what he needed in order to not only thrive in training, but to be a happy, well balanced dog. Any of you who know field labs know they are extremely high energy and apt to be bored and difficult to live with without physical exercise and prodigious amounts of varied intellectual stimulation. In other words, they can be a handful. Emily communicated with Jasper beautifully and was able to get him to calmly walk on a leash through our hardware store with care and grace (and a lot of positive reinforcement). Better yet, she trained ME to be able to continue the work at home so that I can continue to reinforce Jasper's skills and positive development. We also have a "project" lab at home who has a whole host of medical and neurological issues. She is astounding with Ellie, kind and patient, and she cleverly and creatively works with Ellie's difficulties (which makes ours a much happier and calmer household). Emily is a a joy to work with, kind, funny, and so, so talented. Anyone would be lucky to work with her!

I can’t say enough about Brilliant Pup and Emily Wolf! It’s a huge commitment to become a positive reinforcement trainer requiring many, many hours of education and practical experience. Emily has completed the years of coursework and hands-on experience that makes a trainer great. She’s one of a small handful that Farfel’s adopters turn to when a dog needs additional behavioral help. We’ve only had the greatest experiences with Em’s help and guidance. Additionally, we count on Emily for advice and she’s always given freely of her time and expertise.Check out Brilliant Pup if you’re searching for help with a challenging behavior…you’ll be so glad you did!!

As a person who has taken many dog training classes, I thought I had a fairly good grasp on training pups with behavioral issues. That was until I fostered a pup that had reactionary problems to people, dogs, and any outside stimulation. He would bark excessively, lunge, and bite It got to the point that I couldn’t take outside my home and yard, nor have company over. My experience with Emily Wolf , (owner of Brillant Pup Behavior) was a game changer. In just a few sessions she was able to train “Cowboy” how to trust and feel safe. In doing so, she also gave me new tips and tools to reinforce his positive behavior. Emily uses only positive reinforcement training skills and has an innate ability to connect with dogs and teach humans while doing so. Needless to say “ Cowboy “ was adopted by an amazing family and lives life large , hiking Colorado mountains daily with his dad! Thank you Emily for such a successful happy ending!!!
