Glad you're here.
I'm Emily, a certified dog trainer.
If there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s that you’re not alone. Even the most skilled trainers have challenges with their dogs. None of us are exempt, and that’s often what brings us into this field. I’m dedicated to supporting you with the same compassion I once needed myself. My goal is to strengthen communication between you and your dog, build sustainable routines that meet everyone’s needs, and help you build a happier life together. With every case, I tailor my approach to the individual using welfare-forward, reinforcement-based training.
