A bit more about Emma

Emma is trained in dog behaviour and has experience training and walking many different breeds including Miniature Yorkies, Terriers, Papillons, Japanese spitz, Rottweilers, Bulldogs, Dobermans and many more.

“The first dog I trained to walk properly on a lead was a Rottweiler that weighed more than I did, but after a couple of walks he was a champion – no more pulling, he was a proper gentleman.”

Emma truly understands the individual needs of dogs and other pets. Listening and learning about each animal’s unique character is vital for creating a good bond and making sure that the animal feels safe with what, at first, will be a stranger.

Emma will arrange a free meet and greet for you and your pet before your bookings are confirmed. Emma uses positive and balanced training techniques that are not harmful to your pet in any way.

Emma was an excellent sitter for our two Dachshunds. Really flexible and able to work with our needs, the dogs loved her, and she left our house cleaner than she found it. Thanks so much Emma!

Emma looked after our pets that is 1 poodle and 5 cats and stayed in our home. She was very competent and we were thrilled with the daily photographs and updates while we were away. We would certainly use Emma again and would recommend her for fur baby duties!

Thank you so much Emma for the care and bonding with Charlie. The communication was A+ along with coming home to a very clean and tidy home. Will definitely reach out again when we are away.

Highly recommend Emma to look after your pets. We have a 1yr old border collie and Emma catered to her needs wonderfully. Emma sent photos regularly and I was confident leaving our dog knowing she was waked daily. and still at home in her routine. Will happily ask Emma to house and pet sit again.

Emma was brilliant. She looked after our two dogs - one large two-year old and one small 5 month old puppy, through torrential rain for four days. Both our dogs seemed very well looked after. She was quick to respond to our messages and kept us informed of how the dogs were. Our house was very clean and tidy when we got back. We will definitely contact Emma again for our next holiday.

Emma is absolutely Amazing!! Our dogs have a lot to learn and Emma was so patient with them and us. I cannot believe what she got them to do after just one visit. I was worried no one would be able to help us but she has put my mind at ease. I am so glad a co worker recommended her to us. I cannot say enough wonderful things about what she does with the dogs. Highly recommend Emma to anyone who needs help and guidance with their dogs.

Found Emma great to deal with, very clear in her communication and showing us how to train our doggo. After only one session he is responding so well and becoming easier to manage. Looking forward to more sessions!

Emma was amazing, I can't thank her enough and Chester the dog just loved her. Emma listened to issues we were having and gave us real practical advice that was easy to implement. We saw improvements in Chester's behavior immediately. I thoroughly recommend Emma!!!!

Emma is brilliant, within 10 seconds she had Lulu doing what she wanted. It’s now a pleasure walking her on a lead and we’ve got loads of learning games to continue practicing. We have learned loads from a week intensive training and I would absolutely recommend her if your pup needs training.

I had an appointment at my home with the Training Tails and was impressed with the patients she had with my dogs. She also had good advise for me to help me with the problem areas I had with my furbabies. Now it's up to me to work on these and will call them back when I go through these steps. Very pleased with my time with her
