My Story
Emily graduated from Western Illinois University in 2016 with a Zoology degree. She has always known she wanted to work with animals. Dog training called to her even at a young age, training her first agility dog through middle and high school.
​
After graduating, Emily worked for a local facility for 4 years, studying dog training from mentor Chad Mackin. She started in daycare and worked her way up to be a full-time trainer. Through her time in daycare, and through Chad, Emily learned the true importance of properly structured dog socialization. This is where her passion lies.
​
When COVID struck, Emily got some much-needed time off - which gave her lots of time to think about her future and where it might lead. Emily made the difficult decision to quit her job and go off on her own. Since 2020, Emily has been working for herself and couldn't be happier. She has spent the time since growing as a person and becoming more self aware.
