Hi, I’m Emma.

I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with qualifications in Dog Training and Behaviour from the Victoria Stilwell Academy, a leading international dog training educator. I am also a graduate of the the School of Canine Science Puppy Lab program.

Located in North Sydney, I service the Lower North Shore, Inner West and Eastern Suburbs with in-home training, or conduct sessions from my North Sydney dog training studio, depending on your needs.

I help humans to teach their dogs desired behaviours, using positive reinforcement and scientific methods. My goal is to explain how dogs learn and to help my clients understand behaviours and why they do what they do, from the dogs point of view.

Training can be challenging and stressful, but I’m here to help you, and having assisted countless individuals and families with their new puppies, adolescent, adult and senior dogs, I can help with all kinds of individual problem behaviours.

I participate in regular continuing professional development to expand my knowledge about the latest research and science related to positive reinforcement training. Recently this includes:

  • APDT Dog Training Conference 2023

  • Victoria Stilwell Dog Training Conference 2024

  • Glasgow Dog Training Conference 2024

  • NACSW K9 Nose Work® Instructor Course 2024/25

I am a current member of the Pet Professional Guild Australia (PPGA) and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers Australia (APDT).
