Addressing Your Dog's Training Challenges

Does your dog:

  • Pull on the Lead, making walks challenging?
  • Loose Focus Easily around other dogs, wildlife, or new environments?
  • Struggle with Recall – making off-lead freedom a stressful experience?

I know these are common frustrations, and my one-on-one training is designed to help you and your dog enjoy a more relaxed and rewarding bond.

We’ll work together on tailored, effective solutions so you can feel confident in every walk and every recall.

My Personalised Approach to Private Dog Training

As a certified dog trainer with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), I focus on practical, results-driven techniques, designed to build a calm, cooperative, and lasting relationship with your dog. Every session is uniquely tailored to help you overcome specific challenges and reach the goals that matter most to you.

In general, we cover topics including:

  •  Building focus, connection and impulse control.
  • Key skills such as walking nicely on a lead, recall and whistle training.
  • I also have specialist knowledge of introducing Dog Sports such as Agility, Pet Gundog Training and tracking that provide an appropriate channel for their energy and instincts by offering mental and physical stimulation.

Success Stories

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Started with a couple of 1-2-1 sessions with our one year old collie to help with her attention to us and impulse control... By the end of the course we’d gone from a dog that ran off to play with others at every opportunity to a dog that had found love and enthusiasm for the sport, that actually listened to us, could run a course and not leg it at the end! ... We’ve seen massive improvements at agility club and at home in her behaviour and energy levels... It’s the best thing we’ve done since getting our collie puppy a year ago!"

Confidence building for my dog and myself

Hi, My 🐶 (7 yrs) is a Coton de Tulear, a small gundog breed and we live in Cambridge. Our challenges were that he is an anxious dog, fabulous with the people he knows, not good around people he didn't know. We couldn't trust him to Recall, especially around big dogs. I felt like I had no structure. I didn't know how to lead him, so that he felt safe and looked to me for guidance or how to guide him towards appropriate behaviour. I am not keen on just finding anyone, I always prefer a recommendation. Emma came highly recommended by someone I know, who was doing some gundog training.

We have had 5 1-1's so far and the difference has been amazing. I thought my dog's behaviour was 'ingrained' and he was a bit too old to learn. Not the case at all. We have both learned so much. My dog loves the training and responds really. I have been happily surprised. I was dreading Christmas with people around, but it was commented on that my dog seemed much calmer and content with new people around. He is just as playful as ever and seems to enjoy the training - possibly as he now gets more treats than before😉 but it is a sort of snowball effect. The more we practice, the more we get from it and the better the outcome!

Emma's training would work for any dog, not just gundogs. She is professional, knows her stuff and has a great way of explaining something so that I can take it in😊 We are not overloaded, we go away and keep practising at home and it has made a world of difference.

Emma sends me short videos of our training so that I can remind myself what to do. She sends explanations and if I have any questions I just send her a message and she always responds pretty swiftly.

Training with Emma has made such a positive impact on both my dog and myself and it is also thoroughly enjoyable. We are going to continue and also work towards agility and gundog training so that we can join a group session, once my dog and I are ready!

I would thoroughly recommend Emma to anyone with a dog!🐕🐩🐶😉
