- Reward-based training methods
- nurturing safe, mutually happy and trusting relationships Hi! See what we have to offer or contact me today!
(24)

My name’s Emma and I am here to help you create the calm companionship that you, your family AND your dog are craving. I believe that being calm and kind creates confidence in both dog and owner and this is something that is firmly grounded in the way that I teach. Using only scientifically proven, reward-based training methods I help owners to nurture safe, mutually happy and trusting relationshi

ps between puppy/dog and family members. I have helped hundreds of families with their dogs build positive relationships with each other or fix broken bonds. For the whole family to live a happy life with your dog it is important to me that the training is fun, informative and accessible to ALL family members and I am here to support you every step of the way. So, whether you need help with your puppy, your children and dog or your dogs’ behavioural issues, I am here to help with my training classes and specialised programs. Getting to know your dog and how YOU can guide them is the first step to building a positive relationship … you’ve come to the right place, so let’s get you started! I look forward to working with you soon,
Emma

🙌🏻 Recall Progress 🙌🏻 This is Buddy and I am so proud of him and his family! He has come such a long way from the puppy he was on week one. He’s progressively gotten better and better at being confident in the room. We’ve listened to him, given him space and this video represents just how far he has come. Well done Buddy and family 💙 #puppy #puppytraining #patienceandkindness #rewardbasedtraining #dogtraining

💗 Molly 💗 Molly is a rescue dog who came from the streets of Romania. She started out her training journey with me on my Older Puppy School course. Week 1 she spent most of the session tucked in behind mums chair, as the weeks progressed she became more and more confident and comfortable. She especially warmed to the other dogs in the room. By week six she would take food from peoples hands which is a big difference to week 1. Six short weeks and in this video on week 6 she even came out to do her show and tell trick 💗🙌🏻 Well done Molly and her family for taking your time and working together as a team. #puppyschooluk #puppyschool #puppytraining #puppy #puppyclasses #puppyclass #burtonontrent #anslow

Dog Behaviour & Training: Classes & 1-2-1’s

About Your Trainer:

Emma Barber is your trainer here at Calmer Companions. With a wealth of experience and knowledge, her aim is to help dogs and their carers live in harmony with each other. Helping owners to understand their dog better and learn to communicate effectively, building a bond that will be beneficial to every aspect of both dog and owners lives.

Emma has spent many years working in various sectors of the animal care and training industry. As well as this Emma has a BSc and MSc in Companion Animal Behaviour, has completed her training to become a Puppy School tutor and is a Reiki level 2 practitioner for humans and animals. As such, she has witnessed just how important a nurturing relationship is for animals and humans alike. Equally important is that the relationship between trainer and owner is a supportive and encouraging one. Something that Emma strives to bring to her classes and 121 sessions.

About Puppy School

Puppy School is a set of six puppy training classes lasting one hour. The comprehensive programme has been carefully designed to take you through all the obedience basics giving you a good foundation for life with your new puppy or for any dog training sport you choose to do later.

You will learn how to teach your puppy to:

Come when called, Sit, lie down, stand on command, Walk on a loose lead without pulling, Accept handling (including for vets and groomers), Wait, 'Settle', 'Leave' when asked, Accept people near to food bowls, bones and chew, Stop play biting, Be sociable with humans, children, and other puppies, Greet people without jumping up.

We only use kind, effective, reward-based training methods and all the family are welcome to come and join in with the classes. These classes offer you the opportunity to socialise your puppy at an important time in their development while they learn important life skills. We hope to help you in developing a positive, balanced, happy and rewarding relationship with your puppy.

All we require is that your puppy is fully vaccinated and under 20 weeks of age at the start of the course.

Send me an email at [email protected] or give me a call on 07472943456. I will collect yours and your puppies details and send you out the joining instructions for the next available course.
