Emily has always loved animals. We know every trainer bio says that, but really… She belts out Disney songs for the dogs when she thinks nobody’s listening. Her passion for animals comes naturally, and nobody understands more than Emily that a deep emotional connection is the best foundation for a happy, well-behaved dog. Or horse. Or cat. (Emily doesn’t discriminate.) She began training for big-box pet stores in her teens before working her way into a decade-long tenure as the general manager for a doggy daycare.

Throughout her career, she’s studied animal social interactions, off-leash dog play, and behavior modification. She’s currently studying with Jean Donaldson at the Academy for Dog Trainers to earn her Certificate for Training and Counseling.

Her infectious enthusiasm and pure love for her job shine in the classroom, where she entertains clients with an endless supply of one-liners and personal anecdotes. On private sessions, she’s not afraid to get silly and do whatever it takes to make a scaredy-pup feel comfortable. We love her to bits, and we know your pup will too.
