Meet Our San Diego Dog Trainers
Our Training Methodology
Reward-Based Training
All trainers with Pack Method Prep are certified, use science-based approaches to canine learning, and specialize in the use of positive reinforcement to achieve behavior goals.
Educated and Motivational Approach
We get to know each pup on an individual basis and subscribe to the Humane Hierarchy (making sure their physical and emotional needs are met first and their environment is set up to promote success before expecting miracles). We evaluate motivators thoroughly to find what will drive your pup to want to meet their goals as much as you do.
Happy Pups and Informed Parents
We open up communication so that your pup can understand you, and you understand them. Professionally guided sessions result in happy pups feeling more confident in their human partners and happy parents feeling more educated and empowered to pilot and enrich their pups’ lives.

Emma’s experience with dogs began as a volunteer at a local rescue in 2018, working primarily with former street dogs from Mexico. By serving as a foster, adoption coordinator, and volunteer trainer, she became adept at helping dogs and their new families through the transition of rehoming. She also gained valuable experience with street dogs and the behaviors typical of their unique backgrounds. In 2021, she chose to make dog training her career where her focus shifted to dogs going through adolescence.
