More info about Emma Schneidkraut's dog training:
I work with dogs and puppies, varying from basic manners, enriching skills, and behavior modification for fearful, hyper-active, reactive, and case-by-case aggressive behaviors. I predominantly offer private in home training with guardians present, but can provide day training if one-on-one training is not an option.
Behavioral issue focus:
I commonly work with leash reactivity, stranger danger, and confidence building for fearful and touch sensitive dogs.
Dog training methods:
I provide behavior consultations and training plans adapted for the individual dog/handler teams.
Why I became a dog trainer:
I started my career when I adopted my second dog on my own, Sugar, she had significant fear and reactivity issues that required a lot of patience and time to modify. I realized through my journey with her that I wanted to help others with similarly challenging dogs, boosting confidence of handlers and their pups!
My favorite part of being a dog trainer:
Seeing dog/human teams gain confidence and understand each other better, so they can live their best lives with each other.
My #1 dog training tip:
Ask for less, focus on your relationship, less behavior for more reinforcement.

This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures.
