Emelie Johnson Vegh

Emelie Johnson Vegh

Emelie Johnson Vegh began training dogs as a teenager, after many years of involvement with horses. Her first dog was a mixed breed that competed successfully in both agility and obedience. Emelie’s first Border terrier came into her life in 1994; all in all she’s had three terriers, with “My” still sharing her life. The Border terriers have mostly been involved in agility, but also in some freestyle and ground work.

In 2009, a Kelpie made an entrance into the family. With her, Emelie is working in agility, obedience, and freestyle, with the hope of adding some search work. Emelie and her dogs have won medals at the Swedish Nationals, both as youths and as adults, with a silver team medal as the best placement.

Although trained as a high school teacher (degrees from Lund University and Malmö University), Emelie works solely within Carpe Momentum, the cooperation that she runs with Eva Bertilsson. Together Emelie and Eva give seminars, private lessons, and lectures; they also write articles for magazines such as Canis (published by Morten Egtvedt and Cecilie Køste). They are about to release their first agility book, published by Sunshine Books.

Emelie and Eva also offer TAGteach Primary Certification seminars; they are the only level 3-certified TAGteachers in Europe. The Carpe Momentum colleagues work in both Sweden and Norway, and are very popular. Their approach is systematic and well-planned, and focuses on joy and success for both dog and handler.

Emelie lives in the very south of Sweden, in the country’s third largest city, Malmö. She shares her life with her husband, two sons, and two dogs. To learn more about Emelie, visit www.carpemomentum.nu.
