Emily from Empowered Animal Training helped me so much with my goldfish, Finley. After needing extensive medical care, Finley went from being curious and engaged to scared and withdrawn. I had a care plan in place, and Emily worked with me to thoughtfully refine it—even helping us navigate his visual impairments. Thanks to her support, we were able to make his final chapter peaceful and respectful. I’ll always be grateful for that. Emily isn’t just great with fish—she’s one of the few trainers I fully trust to work with and refer rabbits to. Hands down, she’s one of the top rabbit trainers I’ve seen worldwide. Her fitness and trick classes are incredible—not just fun for the rabbits, but also incredibly effective at helping guardians build trust, reduce fear around stressful situations like vet visits, and deepen the human-animal bond. These classes are accessible, affordable, and packed with value. If you’re a rabbit guardian and haven’t taken one of her classes yet, do yourself (and your rabbit) a favor and sign up. Both trainers at Empowered Animal Training are insightful, qualified, and creative. They go above and beyond to help you and your furkid (or fin kid!) meet your goals. 10/10. All thumbs up. Standing ovation.
