Emerson is an expert trainer and dog behavioralist. She turned our 6.5 year old lab/Weimaraner around and really helped us not only to learn the basics to continue working on our pup consistently even after the week long program but also to read our dog’s behavior and what he was feeling and needing from us. She worked very well with our schedule needs and took feedback well when we struggled to reach out to her during her busy schedule. I would say, be patient with her and communicate your expectations from the beginning and she will exceed them, just as she did for us. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get their pup trained.

Emerson is great and very knowledgeable. The program pricing is very reasonable for everything that she offers. I highly recommend her services. My dog is a completely different dog ,in a good way, then what she used to be.

Emerson does a great job. Puppies can be overwhelming. We had no idea where to start. Emerson made it easy to dive right into training. We have seen much progress so far. Also, our puppy loves spending time at her training sessions. Thanks.

Had a really great first experience after recommendations from others I know into dog sports! I have never done barn hunt so this was all new to me. My dog Oliver had sooo much fun, he can be a nervous guy but he loved meeting his new trainer friend that had the fun smelly rats. After just one time of getting some help finding his first rat, my little pom found ALL of them on his own for the whole lesson. The trainer did a great job with Oliver and building his confidence. We are already booked to come back!
