My mission
Welcome,
My name is Emma, a lifelong dog enthusiast, student of the world renowned Academy for Dog Trainers and graduate of Animal Behavior. I have over 10 years of practical experience working with dogs all over the world and a firm force free philosophy.
Pictured here with my beloved rescue Benji who kindly tests my training plans and rates my training treats. He reminds me daily the importance of the bond we share with our dogs, the need to be the source of joy that keeps them working, happy and fulfilled.
My mission
My mission is to provide dog owners with a practical, achievable plan to improve their dogs listening skills and behavior. To achieve this we will cultivate a respectful bond using fear free, positive reinforcement methods.
But what does this really mean?
Dogs learn by their actions being reinforced, they will repeat actions more frequently if those actions lead to something that they like. Simply, dogs do things because they work. By providing them with treats, praise or toys at the correct moment, we can ensure that they will repeat the actions we want to see.
