Rescue Dogs
Rescue Dog Behaviour & Training Support
Specialist support for overseas and UK rescue dogs navigating big feelings, difficult backgrounds and behaviour challenges.
Rescue dogs don’t arrive as blank slates. They bring their genetics, early experiences, coping strategies, and sometimes a fair amount of uncertainty about the world around them.
When I adopted my own Romanian rescue dog, I found myself overwhelmed by advice that didn’t seem to fit the dog in front of me. It taught me that behaviour only really makes sense when we take the whole dog into account.
Today, I help rescue dogs and their families build confidence, understanding, and the skills they need to navigate everyday life together. Whether your dog is struggling to settle, finding the world overwhelming, or simply needs a little extra support, every programme is tailored to their individual needs.
What makes this programme truly different
Every programme is built from the ground up for your dog - no templates, no generic protocols, no assumptions.
With ongoing WhatsApp access, you never have to second-guess your next step.
You’ll always leave knowing exactly what to focus on and how to do it.
Share videos as you practise, and I’ll offer targeted feedback to keep every step aligned with your dog’s learning goals.
A growing library of foundation behaviours and tutorials to support everything we work on together.
Client Stories
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better trainer for our high energy puppy.
Emma is absolutely amazing, so friendly, patient, and has such a calming presence.
She always made both us and Ozzie feel completely at ease. Ozzie adored Emma and it was so clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with.
We’re so grateful for everything she taught us. I would highly recommend! Thank you Emma!

Emma transformed my anxious Romanian rescue dog.
Before finding help, my Romanian rescue dog barked at every sound, doorbell and visitor and was constantly on edge in the home.
After working with Emma, I have a calmer dog during deliveries and, with management, can invite guests into our house without my dog getting overly stressed.
I can highly recommend Emma.

Emma helped us achieve things we thought were impossible.
Emma spent several months helping us with our Westie puppy, Tilly, who struggled with severe reactivity and anxiety.
Emma has been absolutely amazing in helping us with training, behavioural guidance and advice, plus supporting us alongside our Clinical Animal Behaviourist. She is a highly skilled dog trainer was equally patient with us as she shared the skills and techniques we needed to get Tilly’s challenging behaviours under control.
We were very sad to hear that she is moving out of our area and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support with their dog’s behaviour.
