Emma Williamson - Assistant Trainer
Emma
Emma has been passionate about animals since childhood and has grown up around family dogs of all shapes and sizes. In 2020 she visited Crufts as a spectator and fell in love with the Dalmatian breed. She was lucky to find a puppy just before the COVID pandemic struck and her dog ownership journey began, with plenty of time to spend training at home during lockdown. She now has 3 Dalmatians and plans on additional dogs and different breeds in the future.
Emma is passionate and dedicated about all things dog-related and shows her dogs in the conformation ring and is just beginning her Kennel Club judging journey. She also enjoys training them with the British Carriage Dog Society and is working towards her bronze level award with her 5 year old male Ray.
Emma would like to ensure that each training session is an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both owners and dogs and help support owners in achieving their desired outcomes. At the centre of this it is important to her that people have a loving and trusting relationship with their dogs as that is the key to a happy life together.
Outside of dog related activities, Emma is also a trained falconer and works with Owls for educational and display purposes and is also a classic car enthusiast and owns and works on 2 classic cars.

Three Spotty Dogs K9 Training looks forward to supporting Emma through the various Canine Training and Behaviour courses she will be undertaking in due course.
