About Me

I'm Emily! I first became interested in dog training when I (unknowingly) adopted a reactive dog. I learned everything I could through classes, research, and meeting other reactive dog owners. I definitely fumbled along the way! I found that rewards-based training methods were the most effective and I’ve since adopted and worked with other dogs with behavioral issues. In 2023, I started volunteering in obedience classes and shadowing other trainers at the MSPCA. In 2025 I began working as a trainer and earned my CCPDT certification. I am a CPDT-KA professional dog trainer. 

I am passionate about working with dogs and their humans on basic obedience as well as problem behaviors, and fear based behavior issues. I am a science backed positive reinforcement trainer using fear free approaches. I am comfortable handling all sizes, ages, breeds, and reactivity levels and will work to provide you with the skills to build a long lasting relationship with your pup based on trust.
