About Emma
As far back as I can remember we always had a dog in the family home, so having dogs around was quite natural but they were just family pets, As I got older and finally had my own home I got two dogs of my own too, but not knowing how to utilise their abilities sadly it wasn’t long before I could no longer take care of them. I met and married Darren in my 30 s and very quickly learnt of his knowledge of dog training, as I began to take more of an interest I found myself wanting to learn more and more, we now have 3 family dogs which we have fully trained ourselves for different activities and work. I continue to better my skills and knowledge every day and love to pass valued information onto others through the business which was officially created in October 2020 and continues to grow making our dreams a reality.
About Darren
From a very young age I was always interested in dogs and what makes them tick, I would watch my father train our family dogs and learn things from him. Growing up this made me want to take a further interest in dog training so I began to research alot about a dogs natural instincts and behaviours, I furthered my knowledge and education in my late teens by doing various courses, some of which included working with the local police and their scent and protection dogs. I have also done voluntary work with service dogs learning search and rescue, and I have also previously trained one of my own dogs Echo to be registered on the national search and rescue database.

Client Feedback
" Instantly helped me understand"
"I will be keeping in touch"
I met with Emma & Darren over a year ago when i needed some help with my reactive Romanian rescue Molly.
From the very first meeting, they both put us at ease, & reassured me that Molly was not a lost cause.
They instantly helped me understand that I wasnt the problem, even though I thought i was, but at the same time explained there were things i should be doing differently to make our walks more enjoyable and safe, I booked 5 initial sessions, and during that time continued to learn plenty of techniques to assist Molly with her reactivity.
I was so impressed with the early results that I have since done further sessions and continued to send Molly out for regular enrichment walks with Emma.
I am so glad that Molly became part of the Pack.
" Would 100% recommend"
Emma has been Training me and my yorkshire terrier Ted over the last 10 weeks.
During my training pacakage which consisted of 5 sessions, I have found Emma to be really thorough, and her instructions easy to understand.
Since completing our training with Pawfect Pack, my other dog Marley has inadvertently been trained as well.
I have since booked some regular walks for both dogs with Emma & Darren, to ensure my dogs get the most they can out of life.
My family 100% would reccomend Pawfect Pack Dog Training to anyone who asked.
I am a 64 year old woman with arthritis in my wrist and knees, which made it very difficult to walk my standard Schnauzer on lead.
She would be reactive to movement and would really pull, this put pressure on my knees, making our walks unpleasent nor enjoyable.
Since my training with Pawfect Pack and Emma my dog is much better with all of her issues which means i can now walk both of my dogs together and for longer, the whole walk is now a lot more enjoyable for us all.
I am so grateful to Emma for all she has taught me, and as an added extra, Em,ma is always at the end of the phone if i need her, reassuring me that my money was worth every penny.
Thank you Pawfect Pack, I will be keeping in touch.
