Professional Dog Training By Emi-Jo Barkley
My name is Emi-Jo Barkley and I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized school. My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and understanding behavior and its motives. My certification, education and experience provide me the skills required to effectively and humanely train your dog while keeping alive the spark that makes your dog so special to you.
Another side of training that is near and dear to my heart is competition training. I have been training for competition since I was 10 years old and never get tired of it. My main interest is obedience but I am also at home in the agility and rally ring. I use motivating
methods that keep you and your dog interested. I also make sure to always pay attention to your dog's cues so that they are not pushed too far too fast. I'm a big believer in building confidence first and foremost, then taking it further. By keeping true to my methods I have seen dogs go on to do incredible things and can't wait to work with you and your dog!
