Our Instructors

For her whole life, Em has been an animal lover. She grew up helping out on her grandparents’ farm and later moved on to fostering dogs and puppies, which she still does today. Em wanted to be a vet growing up, but realised the medical side was not for her, so she headed down the dog training avenue.

Em got into dog sports with my mini Dachshund, Frankie, when he was about 2 years old and that sparked a big interest for her. She then adopted a mixed breed from the shelter, Nana, who needed some help for her anxiety, which turned into reactivity. Em discovered nosework and from day one, she was hooked (and so were the dogs). Em currently competes with all of her dogs in both nosework and other dog sports.

Em has a special interest in developing ‘sensitive’ dogs and helping them become stronger through nosework. She also really enjoys using nosework for puppies to help socialise and create brave, happy and confident dogs
