About Me

 
 

Emma Virjee got her start  In the world of animals at a very young age when her mother gifted her horseback riding lessons at age 6. Since then her passion has grown to encompass all sorts of beings large and small. Throughout her life she  has owned everything from guinea pigs, gerbils, salamanders, frogs, fish, lobsters, aquatic crabs, ect. Her passion for dogs started when she adopted her first dog, I’m Your Huckleberry (Doc) while she was working for a horse trainer out in Vista. Doc proved to be more of a challenge than she had anticipated and she was told to train him  or get rid of him. Emma being the kind of person she is vowed to never give up on the little quirky cattle dog mix and spent all her free time researching training methods and working with her dog. The more work she did with doc the more she fell in love with training dogs and shortly after adopting him landed a rather short lived position working as a trainer for PetSmart. After leaving PetSmart she decided to get a more formal education as a trainer and took on a position as a live in apprentice under a well known balanced trainer and started competing with her dog in herding for fun. After completing her apprenticeship Emma is now  thrilled to announce the opening of her own small business, EV K9. In her spare time Emma can be found riding horses, training her dog, or Hanging out with weird  and wild critters at The EcoVivarium Living Museum in Escondido CA.

“I would like to thank Emma Virjee from EV K9  dog training. I was searching for a trainer for my rambunctious stubborn 5month old German Shepard puppy. He is absolutely adorable. Though he is going to be a very big boy. I was trying my best and obviously needed help.Then I found Emma. We made an appointment to assess my boy. Then I could decide if I wanted or needed her services. Needless to say. She is now our trainer. Her knowledge is abundant. Her skills and patience are amazing. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone seeking a trainer. You still have to do a lot of work and Emma gives you the tools and experience that you need. Emma really surprised and impressed me. When this past weekend. I was taking my baby boy on a walk. He was doing very well until two huge dogs came charging at us. We both were terrified. The worst part was I had no idea what to do to protect my pup. One dog was a long haired beast of a German Shepard. The other some kind of black Lab. The Shepard posted himself. The Lab circled us. My pup was whimpering and shaking. Had no sign of aggression. I felt helpless as I saw the owners running up the street to retrieve their dogs. Not one word was said. They just turned and walked away and believe it or not. They got loose from their owners and came charging again. I was dumbfounded. My boy was not hurt though we had to sit on the curb for about 30 minutes. To let him calm down and reassure him he was ok. Sunday morning I messaged Emma. Not expecting a response until Monday. She called instantly. First made sure Gunney was ok. Then stayed on the phone with me for quite some time with excellent advice and different techniques I could have used. I can’t say enough about how great full I was for her thoughtfulness and kindness. The knowledge she shared with me. Proved without a doubt. I had found the perfect trainer. Please if your searching for a trainer. I would absolutely give Emma a call. I can guarantee you will search no more.”- Kelly O.
