From chaos to calm, and back to actually enjoying your dog.
Real-world, one-to-one dog training in Bridgnorth and across Shropshire. Built around your dog, your life, and the places you actually struggle.
MOST DOG OWNERS DON'T COME TO ME BECAUSE THEIR DOG IS DANGEROUS.
They come because they are exhausted.
Every walk feels like a battle they’ve already lost before they even get out the door.
They’ve started making excuses to stay home. The dog they were so excited to bring home now feels like the most stressful part of their day.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. And it is not your fault.
A Little Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Emily, and I run The Bridgnorth Dog Club here in Shropshire. I have been exactly where you are. Stuck, frustrated, and wondering if I would ever be able to trust my own dog off the lead. I found my way out of it, and now I help other owners do the same.
My methods are positive, science-based, and built around trust. You do not have to choose between a well-behaved dog and a strong bond. You can have both.
HOW IT WORKS
We work together in the real world, in the places your dog actually finds hard, not just a quiet training field where everything is calm and controlled.
Between sessions you have direct access to me on WhatsApp, video feedback while you are actually doing the work, and a complete training plan built for your dog and no one else’s. Everything we cover comes back to you afterwards in the format that suits you best. Written, audio, or video.
What changes
Picture a dog that walks calmly on the lead. That comes back when you call. That settles when you need it to, and that you are genuinely proud to take anywhere.
THE GUARANTEE
If your dog does not show measurable improvement within 60 days, I will keep working with you at no extra cost until they do.
Only a few spaces each month
I take on only a handful of new owners each month, so that every dog gets the attention they deserve. When the spaces are gone, they are gone.

Here's what my lovely clients say

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily has been a massive help with training my crazy Boxer dog. If you’re looking for a dog trainer look no further, the lessons you’ll receive run at a speed that suits both you and your pooch. Each lesson is well structured and very easy to follow and when practicing out of lessons if you find yourself struggling with something you can always ask questions on Wattsapp where Emily will be happy to help. I’d definitely recommend Emily’s dog training sessions, I chose the 1 on 1 training and have never looked back. Thanks for reading. Mark.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily is an absolute star. I used both her puppy training course and her 121 program. Her advice and guidance has been invaluable resulting in both a well trained dog and teaching me the correct handling. I can not recommend her highly enough.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly recommend Emily! Our dog struggled with excessive pulling on the lead, Emily has now transformed our walking experience plus given lots of other helpful behavioural advice. We went for the 1:1 package of support which is great value and worked really well. Thanks again Emily👍

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily is a very knowledgeable and extremely kind young lady who has helped me no end with the training of my young puppy Betty. She always has answers to any questions I have and has been on the end of the phone when I need advice. Thanks to her Betty is beginning to develop so well with her training and socialising. I have had 121 sessions with her at home and I am now enjoying her weekly puppy classes. Betty loves her and always behaves when Emily is around! Thank you Emily so much for helping both Betty & I in our journey together.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attended the 6 week puppy course. Nice size class so not to overwhelming for the puppies. Great for socialising them in a calm environment with some really good structured work/training. Emily was very friendly, informative, gave clear guidance, and even homework lol would recommend.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily is fantastic! She chaperoned my little dog Alfie on my Wedding Day on 16.08.24. Emily arrived at our wedding venue at 8am and took amazing care of Alfie all day until 8pm. She dressed Alfie in his little Tuxedo, made sure he had his special feeds on time and walked and socialised Alfie with our guests. She sat in the Chapel with Alfie with my family and observed the ceremony. She gave Alfie some restful downtime in a dog friendly bedroom and stayed with him to keep him company. She got to know his character really quickly and they both had a lovely day together. Emily helped the photographers and videographers to capture some special photos and moments too with myself and my husband. Emily kindly made a lovely video of Alfie for me and took photos of him throughout the day so I could see the wedding day from Alfie’s perspective when I wasn’t with him. Emily is very lovely, calm and trustworthy and I couldn’t have asked for a better chaperone for Alfie. She was happy to provide all insurance certificates too which was very reassuring. She was really professional and offered a pre meet with me before the wedding day so she could meet Alfie and go over what we would like her to do. I highly recommend Emily 🐶🦮🐾💖

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time training our puppy at the puppy training classes. The classes are small and friendly. Emily had lots of great tips and made the lessons fun and informative, along with some homework to work on for the next week. We loved seeing the other puppies too and letting them socialise, they loved it! Would definitely recommend these classes for starting your training journey with your new puppy. 🦮🐾 Thanks Emily!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Puppy and I have just completed Emily’s puppy course. It was a delight to attend. She is very knowledgeable and was extremely good with all those attending, family groups, couples and singles with a variety of 6 puppies. Her teaching style is great, calm and clear. Highly recommend 🤩🐾 We’re looking forwards to starting the follow-on course which starts shortly, Julia

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily has been walking our cocker spaniel Nala for several years now and we have also used her pet sitting services from time to time when needed. We cannot recommend Emily highly enough, nothing is ever a problem and Nala loves seeing her! 🙂
