Emily Michaels is a professional dog trainer, seminar speaker, and book author located in California. She was born in August 1974 in Los Angeles, California, daughter of Frederick Michaels and Katherine Grey. Emily began her work with dogs as a shelter caregiver where she learned many training techniques from her mentor, Jenny Minougue: after five years of learning, Emily went on to begin her own business and run numerous Progressive Reinforcement Training seminars. Her approach to training focuses on curating a relationship between the dog and their owner to reinforce healthy behaviors in dogs on and off-leash. Most particularly, Emily excels when working with behaviorally challenged dogs and dogs being trained as gun dogs; she offers both group training classes and one on one training sessions. She is the co-founder of Dog Training & food4all inc. (sponsored by Battino Foundation), that helps build social skills for puppies and promote healty food.
