Get ready to make effective and lasting behavior changes using fun, force-free dog training techniques that will enhance your bond with your dog! Doesn’t that sound magical!?
If only it was magic…
trust me, if I had a magic wand to solve all of your problems
I would wave it over you and your dog immediately!
Now, I may not have a super cool magic wand but I do have knowledge on dog behavior and making the training journey more fun for you and your dog. If you’re in this for the long haul then I’ll be sure to share some of my (not really magic but kind of magical) secrets with you!
Hi! I’m Emily!
Your (hopefully) new dog trainer!
I am a multi-certified dog trainer who has a strong sense of empathy for dog guardians struggling to understand their dogs. I was once in your shoes and want to teach you how to approach your struggles with compassion, kindness, and gentle dog training methods!
Certified Training Methods
These are dog training methods that you can feel good about!
To ensure that you and your dog have a safe and fun learning experience, the only dog training methods used are the ones recommended by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior while following Dr. Susan Friedman’s Humane Hierarchy.
You will never find punishment, force or harmful training tools such as remote e-collars, prong collars, or choke chains in your dog’s training plan.

What dog guardians are saying…

“We loved Emily! She’s obviously passionate about dogs, positive training, and has creative solutions for the individual needs of pets and families. 10/10 recommend!”
Laurel and Scott with Archie
“I found Emily in a time when we needed her BADLY. Our sweet elderly dachshund was experiencing worsening behaviors that were impacting his quality of life (and mine). But forever grateful for Emily helping us get our happy boy back.”
