Meet Emily & Max

The Cornish Dog Barn started with one very special dog — Max, my Black and Tan Cocker Spaniel.

Although I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, Max was the first dog that was truly mine. Since bringing him into my life, we’ve been side by side every day, and he has become a huge part of both my life and the inspiration behind The Cornish Dog Barn.

I’ve been lucky enough to have a lifestyle where Max can come to work with me, or I can work from home, meaning he gets plenty of attention, exercise and companionship throughout the day.

But I know that isn’t a reality for everyone.

Life is busy. Work commitments, long days and everyday responsibilities can make it difficult to give your dog as much time and attention as you’d like.

That’s where The Cornish Dog Barn came from.

I wanted to create something that meant dogs could still have exciting days, plenty of exercise, companionship and individual attention, while their owners could get on with their day knowing their dog was happy, cared for and having a lovely time.

Max and I absolutely love being outside.

Whether we’re exploring somewhere new, walking along the coast, discovering new places or simply enjoying a good walk together, adventures are a huge part of our lives.

I wanted to bring that same feeling to The Cornish Dog Barn.

Because I believe every dog deserves more than just a quick walk around the block.

They deserve a little adventure, a bit of fun and a lovely life.

Why Dog Training?

Training has always been something I’ve loved doing with Max.

As The Cornish Dog Barn grew, I started speaking to more and more owners who were struggling with things that can make everyday life difficult — whether that’s recall, pulling on the lead, lack of focus, confidence or simply knowing where to start.

I realised there was a real need for practical, personalised support that didn’t just focus on the dog, but also helped the owner understand how to work with their dog.

So I decided to develop the training side of The Cornish Dog Barn.

My approach is centred around building a strong relationship between dog and owner, creating clear communication and helping owners feel more confident in everyday situations.

Whether you’re starting with a puppy, working on everyday manners, hoping to improve recall or struggling with a particular behaviour, my aim is to give you the support and guidance to move forward together.

The Cornish Dog Barn

What started with one dog and a love of being outdoors has grown into something I’m incredibly passionate about.

From walks and drop-ins to personalised training, everything we do comes back to the same thing:

Making sure dogs are happy, cared for, understood and able to enjoy the life they deserve.
