Walking with a Behavior Specialist

Pet care experience

My family loves dogs. We are a husband, wife, and 13 year old daughter. I am a special educator, trained in applied behavior analysis working with kids with severe behavior problems. I’ve done obedience training with my dogs long ago (who are now in doggy heaven). Guess what! Behavior training is the same with kids and dogs! Be POSITIVE, be KIND, be CONSISTENT! While I’m with your dog, trust that I will be applying this knowledge to safely handle your pet. I have worked in China and Honduras. I have fostered and rehabilitated dogs in both countries. My current 2 dogs are foster fails that were rescued from China. We have lots of experience working with traumatized dogs.

Highly recommend Emily! We traveled to LA for 11days. Emily takes care of my baby very well. My dog has a good exercise every day. Also, Lucky and the little girl became best friends.

She was great. Able to take him on very short notice and even gave him homemade dog treats!

Emily took care of my Shadow for me for two week. She kept me updated by sending me pictures and videos. She shared her concerns with me about Shadow while I was gone. She’s terrific with dogs and knows her stuff! I will defintely book her again if I need her again!
