Personalized Dog Training and Nutrition Support

When you've tried the advice but something still isn't adding up.

You've done the research. You've tried the training advice.

You probably know more about dogs than you ever expected to know.

And you're still wondering:

What am I missing?

I offer personalized dog training and canine nutrition support for people who need more than another generic list of things to try.

Maybe you're dealing with behavior that isn't improving. Maybe something changed. Maybe you're questioning your dog's food, enrichment, environment, or routine. Or maybe you've tried so many different things that you're no longer sure what actually matters.

You don't need to figure that out before we talk.

Start with a free 15 minute Clarity Call. Tell me what's going on, what you've already tried, and what you're trying to figure out. I'll help you determine whether I'm the right person to help and what makes sense next.

How I Work

When something isn't working, I want to know more than what happened in one difficult moment.

I want to know what happened before. What changed. What you've already tried. What helped. What made things worse. What your dog eats. What their day looks like. What happens afterward. And what you've been told to do that doesn't seem to fit what you're seeing.

I'm Em, a dog trainer, Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, and retired veterinary technician with more than 20 years of hands on experience with dogs.

That background lets me look at questions through more than one lens. Sometimes training deserves our attention. Sometimes nutrition, enrichment, environment, management, health, or expectations may be part of the picture. Sometimes several things are worth considering together.

That doesn't mean we're going to change everything.

We're going to figure out which piece deserves our attention first.

My approach is built around a few simple things:

Behavior gives us information
The whole dog matters
There is no one size fits all answer
What doesn't work gives us information too
Your real life matters when deciding what is actually doable
Sometimes the right next step is bringing in another professional

I'm not going to promise to fix your dog or pretend I have every answer. If something falls outside my expertise, I'll tell you that.

The goal is to help you make sense of what you're seeing and decide what makes sense to do next.

Ways We Can Work Together

Personalized support depends on what you and your dog actually need.

You don't need to choose the right service before we talk. Your free Clarity Call is where we'll start figuring that out.

Canine Nutrition Audit

A focused one hour look at your dog's current food, how much you're feeding, what you're seeing, and what may deserve a closer look. We'll talk through what's working, what I would change and why, and what makes sense to do next.

Customized Nutrition Support

For dogs who need more than a single conversation about food. This is individualized nutrition support based on your dog's current diet, history, needs, goals, and what you're seeing.

Customized Dog Training

Personalized virtual dog training and behavior support built around your dog, your goals, and your actual life.

Depending on what you need, this may include a customized plan, video review and feedback, private Skool support, check ins, adjustments, and ongoing guidance as we learn more.

Start With a Free Clarity Call

This is where we start.

Before we work together, we'll start with a free 15 minute Clarity Call.

Tell me what's going on with your dog, what you've already tried, and what you're trying to figure out. I'll learn a little about your situation and determine whether what you're dealing with is something I can help with.

If I'm the right person, we'll talk about what working together could look like and which option makes the most sense.

If I'm not, I'll tell you that too.

You don't need to know which service you need before you book, and booking a Clarity Call doesn't commit you to working with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do virtual training sessions work?

Virtual training happens through the Skool community, where you'll have a private space for your training support. You'll submit videos Monday through Friday so I can review what I'm seeing, give you feedback, answer questions, and make adjustments to your plan as we go.

You'll also have access to the community, where you can join conversations and connect with other dog parents.

What if my dog is reactive or easily overwhelmed?

Many of the dogs I work with are reactive, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed. You don't need to put your dog into a situation they can't handle just to show me what's happening.

We can work from your observations, history, videos when appropriate, and what we learn along the way.

Do I need to know exactly what's going on with my dog before booking?

No. You don't need to diagnose the problem or know exactly what kind of support you need before we talk.

Bring me what you're seeing, what you've already tried, what worked, what didn't, and what you're trying to figure out. We can start there.

What equipment will I need for virtual training?

You'll need a smartphone or camera to record and upload videos to Skool, along with a stable internet connection. Any additional equipment will depend on your dog and what we're working on.

Do you offer refunds?

Because support is customized and time is reserved specifically for you, refunds are not offered for virtual programs, additional consultations, or completed services.

That's also one reason we start with a free Clarity Call. We'll talk about what's going on, whether I'm the right person to help, and whether working together makes sense before you make a commitment.

What if I'm not ready for a full program?

That's completely okay. The Clarity Call doesn't commit you to working with me.

If private support isn't what you're looking for right now, The Dog Who Asked for More Community gives you a place to learn, ask questions, get support from me, and connect with other dog parents who get it.

You can start there for as long as you need. If you eventually decide you want to explore working together privately, the free Clarity Call will still be here.

Join the Community

The Dog Who Asked for More is a dog training podcast and community for people who love their dogs but still feel like something isn't adding up.

Created by Em, a dog trainer, Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, and retired vet tech with over 20 years of experience, it's a place to explore dog behavior, reactivity, body language, nutrition, and enrichment through curiosity rather than judgment.

Through honest conversations, practical education, and a supportive community, we're learning to ask better questions, understand what our dogs are communicating, and find what works for our lives together.

Because loving your dog doesn't mean you have to have all the answers.
