Meet Our Head Trainer:
Emily Remmers
Emily Remmers grew up in Olathe, KS and found her love of dog training in the areas of agility and trick dog in 2015 when she adopted her first dog that was truly her dog and not a just a family dog. That dog was Fowler a cattle dog mix from a local Kansas city shelter. Fowler at the time was around a year old when adopted. It was Fowler who introduced Emily to this crazy world that she has grown too love to learn about since Fowler had no training what so ever when she got him. Emily is always learning and expanding her knowledge of techniques and other dog sports working dog disciplines. She believes that the best trainers never stop learning and keep an open mind to try new things. Her main passion outside of helping others with their dogs is volunterring with her two younger dogs with their local K9 Search and rescue group. Helping find those who are lost and missing.
​
Over the past ten years since 2015 Emily had gained experience also in the disc dog and animal acting parts of the dog world as well. Emily likes to take all her practical experience she has gained working in a variety of fields and apply them to how she can help her clients help their dogs live a better life in human centered world.

Our Training Style and how it helps you and your unique dog!
we personally have believe that the best training for a dog and their owner is when the training is comfortable for both the dog and human. we also believe that dog training is an art and a science and to have a dog be comfortable in a human centered world with all the chaos and weird things that happen in it you have to be able to switch back and forth between the two.
Here at Fowler and Family Dog training we know that each dog is a unique indiduval just like thier owner. And because of that we prefer to tailor our training and training equipment used to each dogs needs. For example when you show up to our tune-up group class some dogs may just have a flat collar on, some may have a harness and maybe another has an e collar but all are receiving treats or a toy when they are reinforced for good behavior. and possibly a correction when needed. We will always give recommendations on what methods and equipment that would work best but there are many ways to a well trained dog and we like to keep you and your dog comfortable along that journey.
​
We describe our style as open minded and for real-world situations. We can teach you how reward and provide management for your dog. But we know how to introduce tools to you and your dog as well when training needs to be switched up to make progress on your goals. There are no quick fixes in dog training. But we will help you and your dog get to your training goals with training that provides :
Consistency, Confidence, Enrichment, Structure, Understanding, trust and fun! So then you can enjoy a lifelong adventure with a well behaved dog!
