The Home Grown Dog is a dog training business founded and led by Emily, who developed a passion for dog training after experiencing challenges with her own puppy in 2020. The business aims to bridge the communication gap between owners and their dogs, focusing on relationship-based methods to improve the lives of both.

They offer various programs including Board + Train for both puppies and adult dogs, Day Train, Puppy Lesson Packages, and Virtual Lessons. Their approach is not one-size-fits-all, utilizing tools such as E-collars, prong collars, and slip leashes, while emphasizing crate training as an invaluable skill for every dog.

Emily’s background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, apprenticeship under two mentors in a board and train setting, and a commitment to continuing education through webinars, seminars, and workshops. The Home Grown Dog helps owners address common issues like leash pulling, fearfulness, nipping, potty training, and general manners, striving to instill confidence and calm in family dogs.
