About Emma Harris
Meet the Trainer
I’m Emma, the human behind Fetch Happens Dog Training.
I began my journey into dog training about ten years ago when I was given a dog named Riot, a rescue dog who turned out to be fearful and often times, even aggressive. Not wanting to fail him, I signed up for numerous training classes, hitting dead end after dead end. Because of him, I immersed myself in dog training education and dog sports, which led me to a passion in helping other people help their dogs. After having had the dog that trainers deemed unfixable, I pride myself in showing dedicated owners their dogs’ true potential.
After Riot, I went on to work with service dogs, protection dogs, and imprinting detection (or search) dogs. While my focus now is on helping pet owners live in harmony with their dogs, I still actively compete in PSA with my Belgian Malinois, Roach.
You may also meet my four legged family members during lessons. Left to right, you’ll see Journey (CGC), Roach (PSA1), and Tofu (CGC).
