What people are saying.

  • “As a first-time dog owner (poodle mix), I have benefited a lot from Emily's guidance. After a year of self-taught positive reinforcement training learned from YouTube tutorials, I realized I needed professional help to address certain issues, such as walking on leash, separation anxiety and comfortability around other humans and dogs. Within just one private session, Emily helped address my dog's tendency to pull on the leash during walks. He has learned to enjoy sleeping in his crate (which he used to hate being in) and has also learned to relax using a place command. Attending the group trainings and pack days has contributed in him becoming more confident around other dogs. Needless to say, Theo is a much more confident and happier dog because of Emily.”

  • "As soon as we were able to give Riley the mental and physical stimulation that she needed her behavior completely changed. A few of my favorite things about Embark Dog Training are that Emily will meet you wherever works best for you, whether that’s at your home or a park near you. I also absolutely loved the group trainings/pack days. It has been so good for our dog Riley to not only train with the distraction of other dogs but also to play with other trusted dogs. Something that I have gotten from Embark Dog Training that I didn’t expect is a friendship, Emily is the type of person that you can text questions to, send videos of your dog reaching new goals to and she genuinely cares about you and your dog success. We are happy to report that we now have a dog we trust and it is truly life changing! We couldn’t thank Emily enough!”

  • “Before Embark Dog Training, my husband and I had fallen in love with a sweet little German Shepherd, only eight weeks old. We quickly realized that she was actually half Malinois. If you know anything about Malinoises, you know that they are extremely smart, hard-working and determined dogs. Without training, this translates to over active, misbehaving, mischievous dogs. It didn’t take long for us to see this in our dog and know that we needed help. We found Embark Dog Training through a friend and thought we would give it a try. After our first consultation and a few lessons I already saw a huge difference in our sweet girl. Emily, the owner of Embark dog training, has an abundance of knowledge pertaining to each dog breed, she was able to teach us what our dog needed."

  • “Emily did incredible work with my pitbull puppy. I came to her while my dog was in a tough stage of her adolescent - where she anxiously barked almost all day. Emily worked with me to get to the root of the problem, helped me solve problems that I didn’t even realize I had, and in about 3 sessions, I learned how to give my dog what she needed and in turn, had a happier, well-adjusted dog. I can’t recommend Emily enough!”

  • “Emily has been helping me and my family with our dogs for years. I’ve always seen great success with my dogs despite the varying levels of their needs. Both puppies and older dogs of ours have all benefited from her training style and know-how. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and always makes sure she’s available for her clients if they have questions or need advice. Genuinely the best money I have spent on my dogs that gave them great foundations that has carried them through years with our family. Even when adopting an adult dog with zero history on it, she was able to help us find success through fears and basic skills for living with a new family. Every dog I own now and in the future will be getting training and advice from Emily at Embark Dog Training.”
