We travelled from Kent to work with Emma and couldn’t ask for more. Both Emma and her team were very kind and understanding and have helped up overcome our dog, Holly’s anxiety when around strangers and other dogs. We have come away from the sessions with lots of techniques and strategies to continue to help Holly improve. We also know that Emma is only a phone call away if we need any more support or help. Emma is amazing and we owe her a massive, massive thank you xxxx

Emma was recommended to me via a dog grooming colleague as I was having problems with my young Irish Setter, Dana. I attended one of Emma’s recall workshops, as her poor recall was one of many problems I was having with her. However due to Dana being somewhat over exuberant (Tigger on Rocket Fuel), we had to work away from the main group as she was far too distracting to the others. At this point I was at the end of my tether with Dana, totally feeling like she would never improve. Emma was very kind and understanding and offered to see us on a 1-2-1 basis. Our first training session was based around Dana’s jumping up at visitors and within 10 minutes of Emma being there, she had improved, it was literally like watching magic before your very eyes. Since we have been working with Emma, me or Dana haven’t looked back, Emma is definitely the fairy godmother of the Dog Training World.
Thank you Emma

I first met Emma last year when my otherwise ‘perfect’ rescue terrier turned into a very difficult little dog. After about 6 weeks following the re-homing, he suddenly began to bark aggressively at strangers and refused to allow anyone into the house. With Emma’s guidance and patience we have reached a point whereby we can have visitors and Charlie is really enjoying their attention as he sees a link between strangers and very nice treats!! We are still working on issues with the garden but are getting there. Emma has remained on hand and I have found her support and advice invaluable. Emma has also helped work with Charlie and other dogs and we recently introduced him to a friend’s dog which he loved. To be honest I don’t think I could have coped with such a damaged little dog and got anywhere near to where we are in his training without her. If you are having any problems with a dog or simply want a well behaved pet, please give Emma a call.

‘We worked with Emma on a 1-2-1 basis with our dog Rufus. Despite attending numerous training classes, we were having serious problems controlling Rufus’s behaviour both at home and on walks.
Emma’s friendly and straighforward approach helped us to relax and to understand how to interact with Rufus. The improvement has been amazing and it’s now a pleasure having Rufus around!’

Hi Emma, just wanted to say thank you again for all your help with Meg and Alfie this morning. We now feel so much more confident with them and know that by following your advice we will have two happy, respectful dogs (and we will be 2 very happy owners!) We were quite nervous about it but you really put us at ease. When we went to training with Meg for a short time last year we were made to feel like naughty school children!
We will keep in touch and let you know how we are getting on.
Very Best Wishes,
Helen, Martin, Meg and Alfie
‘My 11 year old son and I took our Sheltie, Charlie, to agility with Emma and loved it. Charlie is very nervous around lots of dogs and the small size of the group really helped him. It was also great to get the personal treatment that you wouldn’t get with a big club. Thanks Emma.’
Tracy and Charlie
Thank you very much for coming to see us today and giving us so much valuable advice. We were impressed with your understanding of the issues we have with Milly and the solutions you have suggested.
