OUR STORY
Meet Your Dog Trainer
Dublin Dog School is run by Emma Dungan, a devoted animal lover and canine expert, who grew up with dogs in the family home and has been fulfilling her dream of working with dogs since January 2018. Emma was awarded Ireland’s Young Female Entrepreneur of the Year for her work with Pawfit.
Emma is a positive dog trainer, focusing on fostering a strong bond and trust between yourself and your dog. The goal is always to showing dog guardians how they can guide their dog in the right direction for their dog to make smart, safe (and human environment friendly) decisions. This makes for a comfortable environment for both yourself and your dog to learn and to take the fundamental doggy life skills you both need with you for life.
Emma helps dog owners with their young puppies, adolescence dogs, rescue dogs just learning to settle into a new home, as well as adult dogs, struggling with deeply engrained behaviours. Training a puppy when they are young has long lasting effects on a dog’s well-being and is the most highly effective way of preventing many issues that can occur down the line. Whatever age, stage or concern yourself and your dog are facing, Emma is happy to assist, or to refer to another canine specialist in severe cases.

Client reviews
Discover what our clients think about our service
Our dog Charlie has been availing of Pawfit's services in the Blackrock/South Dublin area for a couple of years now and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Emma and the gang are always reliable when it comes to Charlie's walks, training, minding and any other expertise we might need! They are extremely knowledgeable and experienced on all things dog related, very caring and completely trustworthy. As dog owners, we can't recommend Pawfit highly enough; but the real proof is the full-body wags from Charlie whenever he sees Emma at the door!

Emma was absolutely great with Noah. She sent me an extensive list of questions that really made meeting up and training Noah straight forward. Emma knows her stuff and has a fun and high energy in her teachings. I couldn’t recommend her enough if your furry friend needs training!
