Does this sound familiar?

  • Every walk fills you with dread before you've even reached the door.
  • You're constantly braced: scanning ahead, crossing the road, holding your breath.
  • You get dragged, pulled and yanked until your arm aches and your patience is gone.
  • You feel a wave of shame every time your dog explodes at another dog, and you can see people staring.
  • You've quietly started avoiding certain streets and certain times of day, just to survive the walk.
  • You've stopped inviting friends round because you can't trust what your dog might do.
  • You lie awake wondering if it'll ever get better, or if this is just how it is now.
  • Deep down you carry a guilt you can't shake: the feeling that you've somehow failed your dog.
  • You're terrified to let your dog off lead because you won't be able to get them back.

It can change. It starts with a plan built for your dog.

Who it's for

Local, in-person, and built for owners who show up

North East dog owners

Emily works across the North East and comes to you: your streets, your routes, your triggers. Working with someone who knows the places you walk every day beats watching a generic video and hoping it translates.

Owners ready to do the work

You've probably tried a few quick fixes already. This is for people who'll show up consistently, even 10 to 15 minutes a day. Not perfect overnight, just steadily, meaningfully better.

Confidence builders

Reactive dog ownership quietly strips away your confidence. This is for owners who want to feel calm, capable and proud of their dog again, and actually enjoy the walk.

The Reactive Dog Reset

Your C.A.L.M. method

The full five-phase programme, delivered one-to-one with Emily and shaped around your dog's learning pace.

  1. Cues & Markers

    Clear reward and correction focused markers. Your dog learns which behaviours are allowed and which need to stop.

  2. Applied Control

    Put the skills to work in a controlled setting. Test calm behaviour and impulse control around real-world triggers.

  3. Listening & Recall

    Build a strong, reliable recall using professional equipment, then add distractions and proof it.

  4. Mastering the Lead

    Walk nicely on lead with lead pressure and a structured loose lead walking exercise.

A note from Emily

That's the value, not the price tag. I'd rather tell you what you'll pay myself, on a free call, once I've heard about you and your dog.

Only 5 dogs a month

Emily takes on five dogs a month so every dog and owner gets her full attention and support throughout the programme. Helping your dog reach their full potential is what matters most, and a small number of places is how she keeps that promise.

About Emily

I've been exactly where you are.

I grew up with family dogs, but getting my own dog in 2021 is what really sparked my passion for training. I dealt with reactivity, pulling on the lead and a recall that wouldn't hold, and for years I couldn't work out what was going wrong.

Then I found the right approach and started seeing real results within weeks. I know how stressful it is not being able to trust your dog's next move when a trigger appears out of nowhere. That's why I do this: to help owners who've struggled the way I did feel confident again, and actually enjoy walking their dog.

Emily, Ems K9s

Our commitment to you

An honest promise.

I can't promise your dog will be perfect in 5 weeks. Every dog is different, and progress depends on the work you put in between sessions.

What I can promise: if you show up and do the daily reps, you'll see real, measurable progress in how your dog responds to you. Every dog deserves a real chance, and I'll be with you every step of the way.

Free call

Not sure it's right for you?

That's exactly what the free call is for. Whether training didn't stick before, you're not sure your dog is "bad enough" to need help, or you're worried about the cost and commitment, it's a relaxed conversation where Emily gets to understand your dog, your situation and what you're hoping for.

  • No hard sell
  • No pressure
  • No obligation

If it's a good fit, great. If not, you'll still come away with a clearer picture of where to start.
