I really like dogs! Behavior & Obedience trainer for Command Canine

10/05/2026

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s just your neighborhood friendly dog trainer! 🕸️🐾

Friendly reminder: you don’t need a ‘bad dog’ to work with a trainer.

Maybe you want better leash manners, a more reliable recall, help navigating the puppy stage, or you just want to understand your dog a little better.

Training doesn’t have to start when something goes wrong. Sometimes it’s just about making life with your dog even better.

Other times it’s helping you grow back the hair you ripped out of your head during the teenage stage. Trust me I have been there. You are not alone!

I have a few lesson spots opening up- come train with me! I would be honored to get to know you and your pup :) The link in my bio sends you to the Command Canine website. Let them know Emma sent you🩵

Sniffing is your dogs version of therapy🛋️

Sniffing activates a dog’s brain and releases serotonin and dopamine🧠. It stimulates the GABA neurons in the olfactory region, which helps regulate anxiety and overstimulation. The easiest thing to do on a walk is let your dog sniff.

For dogs who are reactive, lack confidence, or rely only on sight… building up sniffing skills is so important. A lot of people don’t realize that their dogs nose is their worst sense. Smell is something that we can teach them to build up!

I play nose games with every single dog that I train, whether it’s a board and train or a lesson program. It builds confidence by letting your dog problem solve and have lots of wins!

If you have a dog that gets overwhelmed easy, this one is for you. If you have a dog that barks at every single person that comes in the door (even if it’s someone they see everyday), this one is for you. If you have a dog that is absolutely terrified when they step outside, this one is for you. You may see a pattern here (spoiler alert: it’s for every dog).

I personally taught Easton to find specific scents and we’re looking to do trials in the future. Watching him pick up a scent and actively seek it… it’s the coolest thing to watch. He is able to find anything from: rosemary, peanut butter, thyme, and even medication. When he finds the scent, even he knows he is the 💩.

Most trainers hate to admit it, but puppies aren’t their favorite to train🙀

Puppies have the attention span of a goldfish (bless them). Potty and crate training are ROUGH and not for the weak. Some days you feel like everything you taught them the day before went in one ear and out the other. One minute they are sweet, the next you’d ask yourself is there a full moon out. The teeth come out and your clothes are shredded. You look like you had a 1v1 with a werewolf. I alwaysss remind my puppy owners- this is normal and you are not alone!

I absolutely LOVE training puppies. They’re little sponges taking in the entire world for the first time. They have endless puppy energy, huge personalities, and so much potential. Those first weeks when your puppy comes home matters so much- not because a puppy needs perfect obedience, but because they’re learning what the world means to them.

New people. New dogs. New sounds. New surfaces. Being handled. Being alone. Going places. Settling down. Following boundaries. Learning how to communicate with their humans.

It’s a lot of positive exposure, a lot of positive repetitions, and a lot of patience. They’re still going to be puppies. They’re going to get distracted, make mistakes, have accidents, bite things they shouldn’t, andddd occasionally act like they’ve never heard a command in their life

But getting to have a positive impact during such an important stage of their life is one of my favorite parts of this job.

You’re not just teaching a puppy commands- you’re helping build the dog they’re going to become💛

This is Benny. Everyone say hi. He is a 5 month old Aussie doodle🐾

Benny’s owners adopted him at 5 months old. They said that he was visibly terrified any time Benny left the apartment where they live. They didn’t know what to do, so they signed up with Command Canine. (Luckily they came to the right place😇).

I was the lucky one who got Mr.Benny. (Look at how stinkin cute that face is). Every day we worked on building confidence by positively exposing him to sounds, surfaces, and new environments. We took it slow with lotsss of wins. Benny went to Lowe’s, a couple of parks, a local shopping center, and a local small town square.

After 3 weeks he now has a solid foundation of obedience and a solid foundation of positive exposure for his parents to continue building off of. He knows how to settle even when he is feeling a little nervous. He no longer is flighty when he is afraid. Benny just needed a little bit of guidance!

If your dog is like Benny- we can help! Click the link in my bio to book with Command Canine!

Dogs are built to do more🐑🦆🐁⛑️

For generations, dogs were selectively bred for a purpose- herding livestock, retrieving game, tracking, guarding, and working alongside us.

For some those lifestyles have changed, but the instincts are still there. That’s one of the reasons I recently got into dog sports with Easton. It’s not about winning. It’s about giving him an outlet, building our relationship, and having fun together.

You don’t have to attend dog events for your dog to do the same thing. Find what your dog loves and give them the opportunity to do it.

That’s why I love working for Command Canine. We help calm your dog’s mind, while also shaping their manners. If you are interested in how to give your dog the best possible life, fill out the free consultation link in my bio!

This is Easton. He is the dog behind it all. My soul dog. I got Easton going into my sophomore year while playing college softball. He spent every semester with me. Where I went, Easton went. We graduated together

He has been my best friend since he was 8 weeks old. He turned 5 this past May. He has taught me so much as a person, a dog mom, and a trainer. If you know me, you know e.

He is everything I could ask for as a dog trainer’s dog. He gets along with every dog I have brought in, shares his things with other dogs and people, loves to hike or run on the beach, lets me dress him up in random costumes or take 5000 pictures, is extremely well behaved in public, has modeled for companies like native pet/primal pet/etc, amazing off leash recall…. I could go on and on.

Only downside? He likes to backtalk. He will do what you ask, but you’re going to hear about it. (I encourage it). Swipe to see the last photo.

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m a professional dog trainer at Command Canine💙🐾

I created this page as a place to share my life as a trainer/ the dogs I work with, the progress we make, the challenges we work through, and everything in between.

I absolutely LOVE what I do. Dog training is so much more than teaching obedience to me. It’s about changing the way you and your dog understand each other.

When you learn how your dog thinks, why they behave the way they do, and how to communicate with them in a way they understand, your relationship completely changes.

Whether I’m working with a puppy learning basic obedience, a dog struggling with reactivity, or a dog who is terrified to simply exist in their own skin, my goal goes far beyond creating a dog that just listens.

I want to help create confident dogs, capable owners, and relationships built on communication and understanding.

There is something incredibly rewarding about watching a dog’s world get bigger as they gain confidence. As well as watching their owner realize what their dog is truly capable of.

This page is where I’ll share that process. If you are interested, fill out the free consultation by hitting the link in my bio🐶

This past weekend I had the absolute pleasure of staying with these 3 weens again. I’m partial to the bigger dogs, but these 3 are the world’s BEST snugglers. (Please no one tell Easton because then I’ll have to buy his love with a new frisbee). Wiley, Bella, and Sasha you three will always have such a special place in my heart💖
