“Kikopup has absolutely the best dog training videos on YouTube, especially for Border Collies. Without them I am not sure I would have gotten through the difficult puppy stages.”

“Emily is very talented at making her learners aware of the small details that very much matter in training.”

“I can’t recommend Dogmantics highly enough! Love Emily’s mission to share force-free training with the masses. I learn a ton from her videos and have seen some great improvements in working with my dog just by putting a fraction of her ideas into practice. Easily one of the best trainers out there!”
