Emily’s training journey began when she became a city dweller and couldn’t keep a horse in her backyard. One dog turned into two dogs, and now she’s got three! Her previous experience as a ranch horse trainer has transitioned well into the world of dogs, and she now has four years of canine training experience under her belt.

​

Emily has spent time apprenticing with a canine trainer in Winnipeg who specializes in behaviour modification, has attended multiple seminars geared towards dog sports and obedience, and has worked with private clients on things like basic obedience and manners. Her personal dogs have titles in Dock Diving, have successfully completed Canine Good Neighbour certificates, and are now getting into competitive obedience as well as training for the very demanding sport of French Ring.
