Meet Your Trainer: Dedicated to Your Dog's Success
Hi, I’m Emily Eilers, the owner and head trainer at The Pointy Ear Pack. With 15years of experience working with diverse breeds and temperaments, my mission is to bridge the communication gap between you and your canine companion through empathy and expertise.
- 25 + Years of Equine Care and Training
- 15+ Years of Dog Training Experience
- Specialist in Puppy Foundation & Socialization as well as Behavior Modification
The Boutique Approach
I focus on manners, socialization and real-world training. Instead of sterile facilities, we train where life happens—parks, cafes, and neighborhoods—prioritizing meaningful socialization and practical skills that stick. I also focus on manners inside the house. Your dog will not only learn the obedience commands, they will also learn how to be chill in the home since that is where we spend most of our time with our dogs.
