Description
Welcome to another episode of the Making Ripples podcast, where we explore the journeys and insights of the amazing trainers that make up the Animal Training Academy Membership. In this episode, we are thrilled to host Emma Cook, a progressive dog groomer and trainer from Adelaide, South Australia. Emma, the heart behind The Funky Foxhound, shares her compassionate approach to dog grooming and training, where each session is tailored to the needs of dogs who find grooming challenging.
Emma delves into her personal and professional journey, illustrating how her childhood experiences shaped her compassionate, holistic approach to animal care. By fostering an environment of trust and safety, she ensures that the dogs she works with feel empowered and secure, thus transforming grooming from a stressful chore to a positive, enriching experience.
Throughout our conversation, Emma highlights the significance of positive-reinforcement training, cooperative care, and the critical role of autonomy in animal grooming. Her work not only enhances the grooming experience for her canine clients but also educates other professionals on the benefits of fear-free practices.
Join us as Emma Cook shares valuable insights into creating a more humane and responsive approach to dog grooming, proving that understanding and patience can truly make ripples in the world of animal care.
