From Thousand Oaks to Boston—Emily Made It Possible
Emily is an absolute miracle trainer! We recently signed for a condo in Boston and soon discovered that any unruly behavior from our dogs could lead to serious consequences. With three dogs in tow, we were overwhelmed and anxious about their behavior—especially since they would bark and jump at other dogs during walks, or bark in the house whenever someone rang the doorbell or came over. Enter Emily. We found her through a stroke of luck, and she took our dogs under her wing for a three-week training program. The transformation has been nothing short of astounding. Our once-rowdy pups are now models of obedience and calmness. They walk beside us with grace, even in bustling public places and around other dogs, responding flawlessly to our commands. Emily not only trained our dogs but also coached us on how to maintain their newfound discipline. She managed to erase years of ingrained bad habits in just a few weeks. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, our dogs' lives—and ours—have been completely transformed for the better. Emily is not just a trainer; she’s a lifesaver. We can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind she’s brought to our new life, from Thousand Oaks, CA to Boston, MA. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to transform their furry companions' behavior!

Six Months of Progress with a Trainer Who Truly Cares
Emily is absolutely fabulous. She has been training our mastiff for the last 6 months and I'm astonished with every new trick and command he comes home with. She takes the time to really understand the dogs and also spends as much time necessary to train the owner with how to control the animal. Emily is attentive and super easy to communicate with for any means. She even checks in from time to time to see how the pups are doing and asks if help is needed over the phone. She always sends updates and pictures while the dogs are with her. Emily's facility is perfect. Her kennels are clean, organized and she's taken the time to make the kennel area extremely cozy. Her training area is currently being updated as well. You can definitely tell Emily is not only great at her job, but also genuinely enjoys it. My pup gets excited as soon as we pull up. Not only does he love Emily, but I do too. I'm super lucky to have found her. I 100% recommend Emily for all dog training and/or boarding. She will love your dog just as much as you do.

Highly Recommend—Emily Helped Me and Roxy Thrive
Emily is training my dog Roxy to be a service animal to assist me with my severe anxiety and the trauma responses I have. It is a worthwhile investment and I highly recommended Emily and her team. She has a great setup for boarding and for training and I saw a huge difference in Roxy's obedience within the first few sessions. I signed up for the training package she offered and I could not be happier. I get compliments everywhere I go about how well behaved Roxy is.

Ongoing Success with a Trainer Who Truly Understands Dogs
Emily has worked with our pup Luna since she was a puppy for private lessons and boarding/boarding and training. Luna enjoys her time with Emily and Emily has a great understanding of dog psychology. Luna has come so far under Emily!

Peace of Mind for Our Anxious Pup, Pluto
Emily is the best! Our dog Pluto is anxious and skeptical about new people, and Emily knew exactly how to connect with him and help build his confidence. Emily is so kind and accommodating, and we know Pluto is in great hands any time we travel or for any training needs. She provides regular updates with photos, and does a great job of making sure Pluto gets attention and exercise while he's in her care. I would recommend Emily to any dog parents out there!
