Emmett McNamara

Training Instructor & Technician | Creedons College

Limerick

Emmett is a qualified training technician with Creedon’s College, is working toward his certification with APDT and is in continuing education to become a certified Behaviour Consultant with the IAABC.

Emmett has a special interest in high prey and work drive dogs believing that an understanding of these, while providing owners with appropriate and safe skills to meet their dog’s needs, can develop a deeper understanding and spread joy to both ends of the leash.

Emmett assists in Behaviour Modification Training programs and supports the additional needs of our clients with dogs who require a professional approach to their needs.

Emmett founded “Sound as a Hound” and joined Snout & About to support his work towards qualification as a Behaviour Consultant.

“Training is never linear and we must always seek to meet the dog and the person where they are in their journey. Empathy and understanding for both is vital for progress, is key to meeting goals but mostly it is the essential in building lasting bonds”

The Process

Our training coach will visit your home and assess your dogs training requirements. This process is typically 1.5 hours and will include follow up planner via email.

Guidance & demonstrative training will be provided and a plan for further training sessions will be arranged where necessary to teach you the skills required to help you help your dog on their training journey.

Please note

Training sessions are not suitable for dogs displaying problematic behaviour problems. If you aren’t sure which service is right for you, get in touch so we can ensure the service you select is appropriate for your needs.

If our training coach identifies that our dog requires behavioural assessment, you will be referred to a Behaviour Consultant & the cost of training can not be refunded.

Our behaviour consultant may, where appropriate to do so, refer clients to our training coach after initial assessment & consultation.
