About Emma – Professional Dog Trainer & Behaviour Specialist

For more than 15 years, Emma has helped thousands of dogs and their owners build better communication, stronger bonds and calmer, more enjoyable lives together. Since starting her training journey in 2009, she has become known across Melbourne for her practical, clear and compassionate approach to dog behaviour.

Emma holds a Certificate III in Dog Behaviour and has run puppy schools across Melbourne for over 15 years, guiding young puppies and their families through the most critical stages of learning and socialisation. Her experience also extends overseas, where she gained valuable insight working with dogs in different environments, cultures and training systems. These experiences continue to shape her adaptable, well-rounded method today.

At the core of Emma’s work is a commitment to positive reinforcement and up-to-date, science-backed techniques. She believes training should build confidence—not fear—and focuses on teaching dogs the skills they need to thrive in real-life situations: around people, in public spaces, and within the home.

Whether you’re starting with a brand-new puppy, wanting to improve loose-lead walking and recall, or navigating more complex behaviour challenges, Emma tailors every session to your dog’s individual needs. Her training plans are practical, achievable and designed to make life easier for the whole family.

With a calm and direct communication style, Emma delivers clear guidance that owners can actually follow. Her goal is simple: to help you understand your dog, support their emotional wellbeing, and create lasting behaviour change that strengthens your bond.

Trusted by families across Melbourne for more than a decade, Emma brings knowledge, passion and genuine care to every dog she meets. If you’re looking for a trainer who listens, adapts and gets results—Emma is ready to help.
