Hi, I’m Emily Rebekah Neate, a passionate dog trainer dedicated to helping dogs and their owners build strong, healthy relationships. I believe every dog has the potential to thrive, and my mission is to help unlock that potential through positive reinforcement and game-based training methods. My focus is on creating a bond built on trust, understanding, and respect.

The most rewarding part of my work is watching the transformation that happens when dogs learn new skills and owners gain confidence in their ability to communicate effectively. Whether it's teaching a puppy to sit or helping an adult dog overcome anxiety, I’m there every step of the way to guide both the dog and their owner toward a harmonious partnership.

My approach isn’t just about teaching cues—it's about fostering a positive relationship that both dogs and owners can enjoy. I use positive reinforcement methods to encourage dogs to learn at their own pace in a fun, rewarding environment. Training is always based on kindness, patience, and consistency.

My Journey to Becoming a Dog Trainer

My passion for animals and desire to help them reach their full potential led me to dog training. Over the years, I’ve worked with various dogs and owners, learning that every situation is unique and requires a personalized approach. To further my expertise, I’ve completed courses with The Victoria Stilwell Academy, The Guild of Dog Trainers, and Absolute Dogs’ Pro Dog Trainer Course. These experiences have provided me with the knowledge and tools to help dogs and owners create lasting, positive change.

I’m committed to lifelong learning and strive to provide the most effective, humane, and up-to-date training methods. My goal is to empower dog owners with the skills and understanding they need to create a fulfilling relationship with their dogs.

Training Services I Offer

One-on-One Dog Training: Tailored sessions to address specific behaviors or goals like house training, leash walking, and recall. Using positive reinforcement, we’ll build a strong foundation of communication.
Group Puppy Training: Group classes designed to socialize puppies and teach key foundational behaviors like basic cues and positive habits. These classes offer a fun, supportive space for puppies to grow alongside peers.
In all sessions, I use positive reinforcement to reward desirable behaviors, making the learning process enjoyable for both dogs and owners. I also incorporate interactive games to keep training engaging.

Why Positive Reinforcement Matters

Positive reinforcement is central to my approach. It’s effective, and humane, and helps strengthen the bond between dog and owner. When a dog is rewarded for good behavior, it creates mutual trust and respect, making for a happier, healthier environment where both dog and owner can thrive.

My Philosophy

My training philosophy is rooted in kindness, patience, and consistency. Every dog learns at their own pace, and I strive to make training enjoyable, knowing that fun sessions lead to better results. My ultimate goal is to empower dog owners to understand their dogs and create the best possible life together.
