FAQs

HAPPY TAILS

We have been delighted to have Emma work with our dog, Molly, and I would highly recommend her to anyone… In addition to greatly improved recall skills, she has also become more relaxed on her walks and hikes.  Emma's work with her on meeting people and other dogs has made her more relaxed and comfortable and has made walks and hikes a more enjoyable experience for all of us…We are happy to trust Emma with Molly's training and excited to continue working with her.
