About Muddy Pawz

Emma McPherson knows that a missed truffle is lost revenue. With over a decade of experience handling and training elite General Purpose Dogs & Explosives and Firearms detection dogs for the police and military and for over a decade she has brought those high-level standards to the orchard. She doesn't just train dogs; she builds reliable partners that work the soil with precision and speed.

Her approach is direct and driven by results. Emma creates calm, confident dogs. She also works closely with growers, teaching you how to read your dog’s behavior so you never leave money in the ground during a search.

Muddy Pawz is recognized globally for quality. Working alongside the American Truffle Company, Emma places world-class detection dogs in orchards across the globe. Whether you are a local grower or an international buyer, she ensures your team is ready for the rigors of a real harvest.

Our work is focused on the truffle industry and the realities of orchard work - not generic pet dog training. Every dog and handler we support is developed towards a dog that understands the job, works confidently and gives clear indications when it matters.
