About
I focus on achieving the right frame of mind rather then just obedience techniques. Results come quickly with my methods, and I tailor my methods to and for each individual dog and owner team. I don't ask clients to book a package of sessions to achieve their goals-most need me only once. My dynamic group class is run differently than any other, and as you will find from my testimonials, I am always there for my clients to help keep the good results going! No forceful methods, just the right communication and teamwork to achieve what you need, even with long standing issues. Unlike other trainers, my degree and knowledge of human psychology is combined with dog psychology to help heal, create, and strengthen bonds and bridge the gap between the two languages. Dogs always talk to us-- I teach you not only how to listen, but how to talk back. Go to my website and use the links for my Facebook page and my Tumblr where I have dozens of training articles ! The ripple effect! A happy dog-human team brings a world of difference to your life and those around you. It's incredibly rewarding for me to watch the positive changes. So many clients call me in desperation -- I like not only giving them hope but helping their lives change for the better.

So far Emily does a superb job. You can tell she is passionate about animal behavior. I especially appreciate and welcome her instruction on training me! I need the training more than my dog I think. My dog follows me so I think Emily can help train me and my dog and help to alter behavior to get to the best behavior my dog can achieve and represent my breed. Emily truly has a fantastic gift with animals.

I really liked that she didn't give me special words to say, or 'tricks' to do. She showed me real skills that build a trusting relationship between myself and my little furry man Ivo. In my case, I have a very confident boy that needs more structure and strong leadership. She showed me how to change my posture to better communicate my authority to him, to speak with a controlled tone while teaching, and not to get discouraged if something doesn't go 100% perfect. Progress is where to focus :) Our boy was jumping up on people, ignoring commands that he'd heard a thousand times, not coming when called & was lunging at runners and anything he felt moderately threatened by. Since training he's been testing his boundaries, but I've seen SO much improvement it was well worth it.

Emily was calm, knowledgeable, experienced, and a great teacher. She explained dog behavior in a way that made complete sense, demonstrated with our dog exactly what she meant, had each of us practice what she demonstrated, and also gave us very specific tasks to use with our dog. Our dog responded quickly to Emily's techniques, which was amazing for us to see. Emily is just excellent.

Emily is awesome! We had brought home a new puppy and our current 7 year old black lab rescue was very aggressive. Emily was able to come over right away and changed the dynamics in one session. I thought once she left I wouldn't be able to continue what she had just done but with her suggestions and some new crate training and other changes and trying to "equalize" the dogs, I was able to and my family was amazed as well! She literally is a miracle worker and I will definitely be using her again soon to work on more puppy issues and socializing them both. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

She was just awesomeness. Learned a lot from her to teach my dogs the necessary things to behave well. Great trainer and person.
