Ginger

Ginger on her first off-leash hike.

Ginger graduated from our Obedience Program in March of 2026.

"Your dog is so well-behaved.” Hearing that from a stranger on the final day of my Golden Retriever Ginger’s training honestly made me burst with pride. I never thought I’d hear those words!

Ginger is a high-energy Field Golden who struggled with behavioral issues, had zero recall, and pulled so badly on walks that they weren’t even enjoyable. She would jump on guests and bark at almost every noise. I was feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and honestly a bit lost.

Then I found Emily, and from the very beginning, her calm and supportive presence immediately put me at ease. What makes her approach so special is that she teaches you alongside your dog, helping you feel confident, capable, and truly connected. I especially loved that she comes to your home, so your dog learns in their real environment with their actual triggers.

In just three weeks, the transformation has been incredible. Ginger now walks calmly by my side, can regulate her emotions quickly in different environments, and we even completed our first off-leash hike. Something I never thought would be possible!

I truly feel like I have the dog of my dreams now. The skills Emily teaches go far beyond basic obedience; they completely change your relationship with your dog in the best way possible. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. She will change your life and your dog’s life for the better!
