Emma was absolutely brilliant and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Emma’s approach is very focused on enjoying time spent with your dog through positive experiences - it was great fun for us and our dog. Emma is very knowledgeable and clearly loves dogs, I’m so happy with our decision to join Rat Pack Dog Services for puppy classes, and we will be attending different classes in the future ☺️

Emma truly knows and loves dogs 🐶

Emma has a real passion for dogs and her knowledge is endless. She provides training from puppies to senior doggies. When you sign up with Emma you have so many options of sessions, either 1-2-1 or group and once you are a member of the Rat Pack you have a wonderful group of friends to meet with your four legged friend on a regular basis.
I can’t thank Emma enough for the support Rex and I have had.

Highly recommended for dog training

I highly recommend Rat Pack Dog Training with Emma! We’ve just completed the practical puppy course. The 8-week course was packed with everything we needed to start off with our puppy. The class was thoughtfully organised, and my puppy absolutely loved going—he never wanted to leave! Emma made the sessions so much fun that the time just flew by. When you enrol in a class with Rat pack you become part of a community, giving us a place to turn for advice and guidance. We’ll definitely be enrolling in future courses with Rat pack! Thank you Emma 🐶😊

Dog trainer with the patience of a saint.

Emma has taken us from puppy classes to hoopers over 6 years. I can't recommend her and her training skills enough. She trains the owner and the dog to work in harmony.

If you want a no nonsense approach in training you and your dog this is the answer you want. Emma provides excellent friendly sessions which doesn't stop with a beginners sessions there are lots of scope for further training and meeting up with other dog owners.

Emma is an amazing trainer

Emma is an amazing trainer and is super supportive. With Emma's help we have seen a marked improvement in all of our dogs and we couldn't have done it without her. Emma is invested in our dogs health and well being and is a font of knowledge and experience. The biggest difference has to be with our Bulldog and her confidence levels, Jelly loves Emma and they truly have a special bond, along with a tailored reward programme. Emma has given us the tools to be better dog parents and we wouldn't have had the results we have today without her.

Thank you Nicola, it's been so lovely to see Jelly's confidence blossom and her love for Scentwork has really taken leaps recently.

Emma is the pied piper of dogs

Emma is the pied piper of dogs, they all adore her. I've been doing different classes for over a year and have no intention of stopping. Her classes are fun for people and dogs. My dogs are calmer for classes but also we've done some really cool stuff together (mantrailing, hoopers, scent work). She understands the theory of what she's teaching, which is awesome if you're a bit geeky like me.

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!, she has the patients of a saint with the dogs and explains everything so well as to why dogs are behaving certain ways or what you can do to help your dog.
She’s given me so much confidence back with my own dog! Her classes are so fun for both dog and human!
Can’t recommend enough!
