YOU BET WE DO!

Our evidence-based approach focuses not on one species, but on problem-solving. No animal or species is untrainable, because animals are always learning. It’s just up to us to set up the conditions where they learn what we would like them to!  Emphasizing effectiveness and kindness, force-free approaches center around communication.

Other Pet Training

We’ll work together with you to find a solution to your pet’s problem behavior regardless of what shape it comes in: feline, equine, avian, reptilian, or even aquatic! From Chameleons to Clydesdales, we’ve yet to encounter behavior that we couldn’t change.  Set up a Discovery Call with us to tell us about your unique problem and your pet, and let’s get started on a solution!

Species of pets we’ve trained:

  • Birds
  • Bunnies

  • Cats
  • Chameleons
  • Dogs

  • Fish
  • Guinea Pigs
  • Horses
  • Pigs

  • And more!

Shelter and Rescue Organizations

Rescue has always been at the heart of our work, and our goal is the same as yours: place pets in their forever homes the first time.

We know that rescues lean into the hard cases. You are in it to help, whatever that means. While medical issues can be somewhat straightforward to tackle, behavior issues are a whole different ballgame. You have to weigh public safety, fosters, and how the animal will be in a home. The reality is, it’s not simple. Let us help simplify it. We are able to assist with providing some guidance for your tough cases. If you have an animal who has been in rescue for a while and you just aren’t sure what you are going to do about them, talk to us-we can help. More than that, we WANT to help.

Individual cases are not the only way we can support you. Volunteers, fosters, and shelter staff are the heart of rescue and shelter organizations. Let us equip and empower your organization with the knowledge to safely and effectively understand the animals you care for. Our extensive education in working in schools, group homes, and teaching parent courses have given us a unique advantage when it comes to “human training.” We’d love to provide you, your staff, and your volunteers with the education that will help you do what you do even better.

“I have consulted with Emily about shelter animals and also referred others to her through the years for both training and behavior consulting. Her extensive experience working with both exotic and domestic animals, her intelligence, her kind and generous spirit, and her ability to communicate put her at the top of my list of people I recommend.”

Zoos and Wildlife Sanctuaries

We’ve spent over a decade working in zoos. We’ve worked with trainers, behavior consulting firms, and behavior managers. We’ve worked as point people, lead trainers, liaisons, and keepers. We understand the challenges that are unique to a zoo environment. But we also understand the incredible resources you have: most importantly, the dedicated individuals that care for the animals each day.
Collaboration is key to raising standards. Combining our experience in the zoo field with over a decade of experience utilizing a collaborative goal-setting and teaching with teachers, parents, and other human learners, we can help you truly raise your standard of care for your animals while ensuring the team putting in the work feels motivated, excited, and empowered! We know that there isn’t anything that a dedicated zoo team can’t accomplish, and we want to support you in doing the impossible.
