Hello, I’m Emma Walker
I’m a Londoner, a lifelong dog lover, and the voice behind Best Dog Daily. For the past fifteen years my home has revolved around Labrador Retrievers — the mud, the endless tennis balls, the midnight paws on my pillow. Somewhere between training my first rescue, Monty, and watching my current dog, Hazel, master her twentieth trick, I realised I had something worth sharing with other owners. This blog is the result.
My Background
I trained as a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP), one of the most rigorous positive-reinforcement certifications available in the United Kingdom. Before going full-time with Best Dog Daily, I ran one-to-one behaviour consultations across North London, working with everything from timid rescues fresh off the ferry from Romania to boisterous gun-dog puppies who needed a job. Those sessions taught me that most “behaviour problems” are really communication problems — between dog and human, and sometimes between humans themselves.
Why This Blog Exists
When I first started looking up dog advice online, I was stunned by how much of it was contradictory, outdated, or recycled from dominance theories that have long been debunked by modern behavioural science. Owners deserve better. Best Dog Daily is my attempt to translate what we actually know about canine learning, nutrition, and welfare into articles you can read with a cup of tea and genuinely use the same afternoon.
What You’ll Find Here
Expect long-read guides on breed-specific behaviour, step-by-step training tutorials, honest product reviews (nobody likes a shopping list disguised as advice), and the occasional personal essay about life with dogs. I cover everything from puppy socialisation and loose-lead walking to senior dog care and the surprisingly emotional business of saying goodbye.
Editorial Values
Three rules guide every article: (1) it must be grounded in peer-reviewed research or recognised training standards, (2) it must be practical for real-world households — not just picture-perfect ones, and (3) it must treat dogs as the sentient, feeling animals they are. I don’t publish sponsored content without clearly labelling it, I don’t recommend tools I haven’t personally used, and I never endorse aversive training methods.
Thanks for stopping by. If you’ve got a question, a story, or a dog photo you’re particularly proud of, the contact page is just a click away — I read every message.
