About
Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Emma Rogers and I am a rewards-based trainer in Merriott, Somerset.
I have been training dogs professionally since 2016. I teach classes in fun obedience, puppy life-skills, scentwork, focus and engagement for dogs of all ages, breeds and abilities.
I spend most of my teaching days conducting 121 private sessions either with me in Merriott or in clients' own homes.
I am a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (membership no: 01596) and the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC). This also makes me a member of the UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter. What this means is, my theoretical and practical knowledge of dog training has been thoroughly assessed and accredited according to strict criteria and I work within a code of conduct that ensure I use only kind, fair and non-aversive training methods.
At its heart, the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter™ is a code of conduct, ethics and methodology. More than that however, the Charter is a collaboration of many of the UK’s leading behaviour and training membership organisations who for the first time have come together cooperatively under the Charter umbrella to work in unison for the benefit of dogs, dog owners and guardians, and the wider profession.
In an unregulated industry, dog owners can often struggle to find a suitably accredited professional to help them and their dog. While there are many excellent professionals working nationwide, there are also many who continue to use outdated and aversive methods without any oversight or accountability.
I am an accredited Therapy Dog Handler and Trusted Trainer with Therapy Dog Training UK and a certified assessor for the National Nosework Association.
Assess, Train and Certify Your Dog as a Therapy Dog with me!
I am a certified UK Trusted Trainer for Therapy Dog Training UK.
Is your dog 18 months old or older, calm & confident and does he/she love meeting new people?
Are you a teacher, therapist or health professional who wants to share the joy your dog brings with your pupils or clients?
Maybe you have some time and want to volunteer as a therapy dog partnership, take your dog to work in your own practice or deliver a paid for service. If so, we can help you both.

"Scent work not only mentally stimulates your dog but also enhances their natural ability to sniff things out, all while having fun!" ~ Blue Cross
I offer 121 scent work sessions as well as beginners and improvers courses. For those who have done scent work before or for those who have completed my beginner's courses, I also run a Scent club to continue to practice your skills and to enjoy scent work with your dog in different settings.
