Emily Sianez
Certified Dog Trainer

Hi! My name is Emily and I love to geek out about the science behind animal learning and canine behavior. I developed an interest in training when, as a veterinary technician, I saw so many perfectly healthy dogs relinquished or put to sleep simply for behavior related issues. People were thinking of training way too late! Dog trainers were thought of as last resorts when really, we should be considered when you first get your puppy or adult dog.  

My educational background started with a Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism Development and Management from Arizona State University in 2011. I then earned my Dog Trainer Certification in 2019 through Animal Behavior College, an internationally recognized school approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. Most recently, I completed my Fear Free Certification in 2022. This certification allows trainers to work in partnership with veterinary teams to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress.

I am truly passionate in educating people about the importance of early puppy socialization, preventative dog training and positive reinforcement techniques. My goal is to teach owners how to be proactive rather than reactive. I provide practical, common sense dog training for the modern owner and family dog.

When I’m not training, I love camping, whitewater rafting, snowboarding and traveling. I also love finding new, unique restaurants around the valley (recommendations always welcome)!
