Meet Emily

My passion is helping dogs and their owners build happier, more confident relationships through modern, reward-based training. I specialise in puppy training, recall, lead walking, confidence building, and behaviour support for dogs across Leyland, Preston, Chorley, South Ribble, and the surrounding Lancashire area.

Before becoming a professional dog trainer, I worked within the NHS as a nurse. My nursing career taught me the importance of patience, communication, evidence-based practice, and understanding individual needs—skills that now play a vital role in the way I work with dogs and their owners.

I believe every dog is unique, which is why I focus on practical, personalised training plans tailored to each dog and family. Using positive reinforcement methods, I help owners develop clear communication and lasting results without fear, force, or intimidation.

Whether you're welcoming a new puppy, struggling with recall, dealing with lead pulling, reactivity, or looking for support with behavioural challenges, my goal is to provide training that is effective, enjoyable, and built on trust.

Based in Leyland, I proudly support dog owners throughout Lancashire, including Preston, Chorley, Buckshaw Village, Bamber Bridge, Penwortham, and South Ribble.

When I'm not training dogs, you'll usually find me out exploring with my own dogs, continuing my professional development, and keeping up to date with the latest evidence-based training methods.

If you're looking for a friendly, professional dog trainer in Leyland, I'd love to help you and your dog achieve your training goals.

Training Both Ends of the Lead – Dog Training & Canine Behaviour Support in the North West

Dog training and behaviour support isn’t just about teaching commands—it’s about building a deeper, more trusting relationship between you and your dog. That’s why I focus on training both ends of the lead: helping you understand your dog and giving your dog the skills to succeed in your world.

As a qualified trainer and behaviour specialist, I use modern, science-based methods rooted in positive reinforcement and canine behaviour science. My approach helps you communicate clearly, feel more confident, and ensure your dog feels safe, understood, and supported throughout the training process.

Whether you're working through behavioural challenges like reactivity, anxiety, or impulse control, or you simply want to improve life skills like lead walking or recall, I offer tailored, compassionate support that gets to the root of the issue—not just the symptoms.

Common areas I can help with include:

  • Loose lead walking and calm leash behaviour

  • Reliable recall

  • Jumping up and overexcitement

  • Canine reactivity and behaviour modification

  • Fear, anxiety, and overarousal

  • Understanding your dog’s body language and triggers

Together, we’ll create a custom plan that strengthens your bond and helps your dog thrive, using kind and effective techniques that align with modern dog behaviour science.

Let’s work together to build a calmer, more connected partnership with your dog. Get in touch today to learn more.
