Emily

Emily is a dedicated dog owner who shares her home with Lily and Charlie, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Puzzle, a Miniature American Shepherd, and a new furry family member – Jigsaw, a Border Collie. Emily has a passion for dog training and has achieved the Kennel Club Good Citizens Gold Award with both Lily and Charlie.

She enjoys teaching her dogs various activities such as Heelwork to Music, tricks, and Hoopers, and even incorporates sport dog parkour into their walks. Despite Puzzle being a Yellow dog and needing a bit more space around other dogs, Emily plans to compete with him in Yellow dog-friendly UK Hoopers shows later this year.

In recognition of her dedication to dogs and the community, Emily was awarded the Kennel Club Young Person of the Year Community Award in 2021 for her volunteer work with dogs and charities in the area. Emily’s commitment to her dogs and her community has not gone unnoticed.
