Text reads: “…a wealth of knowledge, advice, and excellent materials both before, during and after the training sessions…and the puppy had THE BEST TIME during all sessions with Emma. Could not recommend highly enough. Super pleased that we (pup and our family) have been set in a really positive path of continuous fun and engagement and learning; very excited for the years to come. Thank you!”

Lovely recap from Mary of our final day training. So wonderful to work with like-minded, creative, thoughtful trainers.

Just arrived home after living in a zoo bubble for the week. So many wonderful experiences shared with an amazing group of trainers and animals. Thank you so much to Educating Animals and the whole team for organising another incredible learning event. Missing it already. Highlights: Training a Tiger recall, close up experience with a beautiful lion, watching a giraffe get a foot X-ray (months of training in action), and target training the binturong.
Back to my lovely clients tomorrow, but will post more once I’ve organised my photos and footage.

ID: An image with text and 5 star icons. Text reads: “[Emma’s] the first person I turn to whenever I’m stuck or struggling with a training issue, and she’s always flexible and happy to help where she can, adapting to me and my dog’s needs, and sharing her knowledge and advice in a way that’s easy to understand.

I completely trust Emma with my dog’s safety and welfare, and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for extra care or training for their own dog.”

Meet Bunny, isn’t she a cutie?
Bunny is a lab x collie and I’ve recently been supporting her and her lovely human with 1-1 training. In sessions we have had a deep dive into training mechanics, skills building and most importantly having fun. Her people are keen to implement specific activities as she grows and so working together directly allows a more tailored approach.

Our sessions have all taken place at the training barn at CDCH, giving us lots of space and a safe environment to build up skills. I’m so grateful to have access to this venue.

The biggest joy working with this particular client, is seeing how dedicated they are to Bunny’s best interests and a core focus on helping her feel safe and foundational work. 🫶

Want to explore 1-1 or classes for your puppy? Get in touch at [email protected], or see link in bio to book onto the next round of puppy classes starting next Wednesday 22nd April. Hope to see you soon! 🐾
