Masters of Mischief Dog Training

Emily is absolutely amazing. She really knows her stuff when it comes to dogs and dog behavior. We recently moved in to a dog friendly apartment in Boulder which is a problem as our dog, Shaggy, is dog reactive when he is on a leash (lunges and barks at other dogs). We called Emily, who met with us for almost an hour and a half. She came up with an individual training plan for Shaggy as well as helped us trouble shoot problem areas such as the elevator.
We have been working with Shaggy for about a month and I already can see improvements. We now can walk on the other side of a street from a dog without him even caring. She has also helped come up with a «management plan,» that involves finding escape routes and what to do when Shaggy does react.
The best part about Emily is that she always makes herself available to help. Whenever I have a question I can text her and get a ready reply. On multiple occasions she has also been a great person to lean on and talk to when Shaggy has a large blow up. She even said that her job is one part dog trainer one part human trainer/​councilor.
She also lets me meet with her a few times a week in order to use her dog for practice sessions with Shaggy. Over this past month I have gone from frustration and embarrassment with my dog to pride and excitement over Shaggy’s improvement. I can tell that he is much happier and less stressed on walks as well. I cannot thank Emily enough for all her help, and I HIGHLY recommend her for any type of dog training (especially leash reactivity).

I was referred to Emily by another dog trainer because I lived too far away for that trainer. Emily emailed me back right away and immediately set up an appointment. First meeting Emily she took the time to not only get to know the in and outs of the issues with my pups but took the time to get to know me. We sat and talked for over an hour. Emily took notes and made sure to reassure me that she would send everything to me in an email so I wasn’t overwhelmed. She then worked with my pups and demonstrated the tools I would be using. She was never negative about the issues with my dogs.
Within the next couple of days I received the email instructions and I was so thankful. I started using the training instructions and my dogs showed REMARKABLE PROGRESS! My baby girl Georgia developed leash aggression and I was afraid to take her on walks because she would get into «arguments» with other dogs and people. I used the training diligently and I noticed an immediate change. I also used Emily’s other tips like leaving the TV on for them while I was at work, letting them enjoy their walks by sniffing and not trying to pull them away and playing more games with them. My dog’s attitudes completely changed. By the next time Emily came around they were like different puppies. There was so much harmony and happiness I was thrilled! I am incredibly grateful to Emily and her expertise with training. She’s continually giving me praise but she’s the one who deserves the praise. I HIGHLY recommend having Emily train your pups!
