Protected Contact: Elephant & Camel Training for Dog Professionals

  • "A huge thank you to Emily for sharing her knowledge and to everyone who dedicated their time to continuing their education. Together, we’re making our communities safer for both animals and the people working to protect them."

    Vermonters Against Animal Cruelty & Abandonment

  • "I have had the privilege of having Emily as my mentor for over a year and a half leading me to becoming a Certified Professional Dog Training and starting my own dog training business. I strongly believe that I was able to accomplish this with not only Emily’s mentorship, but her ability to create a passion in canine behavior in her students, clients and community members. "

    Emma Starkweather, CPDT-KA

  • "I first met Emily as the Shelter Manager at Addison County Humane Society (ACHS). She and I began to work closely together at a time when the shelter was in dire need of overhaul. From how ACHS observed and treated canine behavior within the shelter to how we worked with adopters following their canine adoption, we needed expertise in a field where it is frankly hard to find expertise. Having Emily join as part of our shelter team allowed the whole shelter staff to get educated on the problems within our own current practices and learn to rewrite how our shelter should manage our animal population more humanely and successfully."

    Carly Lehrer, Apocalypse Farm & Sanctuary
