About

While volunteering at a shelter walking dogs, Emily met and shadowed a trainer, helping with private sessions and classes. From there, she was hooked and decided to pursue training as a career. Over the next several years, she completed multiple certification programs and started a dog walking and training business. Seeing the groups of dogs run and play off leash in the open outdoors with big smiles has been one of her greatest joys. Emily is committed to science, education and compassion when it comes to living and learning with our dogs. Each dog deserves our patience, kindness and that we take the time to understand them as a species, and as individuals. She sees every single dog as an individual, with a wide range of emotions, motivations, hobbies, likes and dislikes, and is dedicated to help them in the most holistic and ethical of ways. Living with a dog is not always easy, can be confusing and frustrating, and Emily strives to bring the same compassion and understanding to the human end of the leash as well. When she isn’t training dogs, you can find her in a forest or at the beach, hoping to see some interesting plants and animals.
