Emily Larlham runs the dog training business Dogmantics Dog Training in San Diego, California. She is known for her Youtube Channel ‘Kikopup’ where she has posted over 300 free in-depth dog training tutorials. She believes that by putting out free training tutorials that don’t involve any forms of physical or psychological intimidation, it will not only effect how people treat animals but also how people treat other human beings.
Emily began her training career as an animal care-giver in a shelter 16 years ago where she met her dog training mentor Kyle Rayon. After meeting Kyle, Emily quit her job and became an apprentice. After many years of study, learning from both human and thousands of canine mentors, she began her own business. She combines her artistic background and training skills to invent creative, fast and reliable ways to solve problem behaviors as well as train complex behaviors and tricks. She has been invited to conduct seminars on her techniques for training dogs in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. She has also spoken at conferences such as ClickerExpo, APDT Australia, the PPG Summit and the Art and Science of Animal Training Conference.
