“We are so grateful we found Emily! Our dog was reactive and had a few incidents before we decided to reach out for help. From the very beginning, Emily taught us to be advocates for both our dog and ourselves, which has made all the difference in understanding and improving his behavior.

Emily is an amazing coach. She encourages us, gently corrects when needed, and patiently guides us through every step with our dog. Her approach makes the process feel much less overwhelming. She helped us gain insight into identifying what our dog was communicating and how to respond appropriately. 

It’s clear that Emily cares deeply about your dog and is committed to their well-being. We can’t thank her enough for her guidance and support!.”

“We feel Emily saved our dog's life!  He had aggressive behavior problems.  We thought our only choice was to have him put down until we met Emily.  She trained our boy James, myself, and my wife how to keep him under control and feeling safe.  Emily, our personal trainer is an Angel.  It has been two years now and we are all happy!!”

“We are so grateful to have found Rocket Powered Canine to help us with our dog Leo.  Leo had issues with socialization and anxiety since the day we rescued him. Working with Emily at Rocket Powered Canine helped him gain a new perspective on his role in our family and also helped us understand him better. She showed us how to work with him in a way that was productive and also challenging for Leo. Leo was able to make some choices and that helped him gain the confidence he needed.

Emily gave us the tools we needed to help Leo with his anxiety. She helped us become effective owners and trainers for our dog. We were amazed at the progress from day one and feel that this was the best decision we ever made! We are so thankful for the experience and knowledge we have gained and would recommend Rocket Powered Canine to anyone!!”

“Myka is a now 6-month-old female Husky. She has been a part of our lives since she was 8 weeks old, and we have loved watching her develop into the wonderful soul that she is. However, since my partner and I work from home, we began to notice that Myka exhibited extreme distress and anxiety when we would try to leave the house, or even just have her in her crate while we were in another room. Her separation anxiety is definitely concerning to us and the top priority in our training wishes.

Emily got to know Myka very quickly and easily, and we could tell that Myka was at ease around her. Emily made sure to focus on growing Myka's confidence and independence, and it shows. Emily gave us more than one option when it came to helping Myka through her anxiety, and many different things to try, which speaks to her repertoire as a trainer. Myka is also (being a Husky puppy), a very very smart, yet sometimes defiant young lady. She is on track to be 60 pounds, and so we realized we also needed help with making sure she doesn't pull me down the trail on a hike! And of course, basic command obedience for her safety and quality of life.

We had a previous information session with another trainer, and we were very skeptical of their "alpha" and dominance-focused ideologies and negative reinforcement techniques. That's when we were recommended to Emily, who also happened to be a vet technician at our local vet's office! She came in with a fresh perspective on training that built off foundations of trust, loyalty, respect, compassion, safety, equality and fun! Emily is so knowledgeable and so dedicated to making sure that we were able to develop a communication and training style that fit all of our personalities and styles! Emily adapted to Myka's needs and emotions, was incredibly responsive and flexible, and always came with a smile and a seemingly never-ending amount of patience (and treats!). Emily gave us foundational tools to be confident on our own when building a relationship with Myka.

Myka's separation anxiety is going to take a long time to ease, but even after our four sessions, Emily made sure we knew that she is always available to continue with additional sessions. Emily even provided additional resources for continuing training. We always joke it was more about training us than Myka, but Emily was up to the task! We truly learned more than we thought we could. Myka, my partner, and I, will certainly live a better quality of life and be a happier, healthier, safer family because of the support Emily has shown us all. Thank you, Emily!”
