You are looking for someone that has been in your shoes but also knows how to solve your dog training challenges.
I too have been embarrassed by my dog’s behavior out on walks and in public. I truly understand the frustration when you just want to have a nice walk with your dog without being stared at and the joy in finally being able to do just that.
I am a dual Certified Professional Dog trainer CPDT-KA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers and certified through AZ Dog Smart Academy and have degrees in veterinary science and communications. I am certified in pet animal CPR and first aid and am constantly working on increasing my knowledge and skill; taking seminars, participating in Dog Biz Thrive for dog trainers, industry trainings and gathering new information that will be helpful to you.
I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to training and behavior modification. You might be wondering what LIMA means to you: LIMA requires that trainers and behavior consultants use the “least intrusive, minimally aversive technique likely to succeed in achieving a training (or behavior change) objective with minimal risk of producing aversive side affects.” It is also a competence criterion, requiring that trainers and behavior consultants be adequately trained and skilled in order to ensure that the least intrusive and aversive procedure is in fact used.
The services that I DO NOT offer are: protection training, nor do I work with aggressive OR dogs with a bite history. I am able to refer you to a qualified training for these services should you contact me.
What My Clients are Saying
Designs Individualized Training
" It is a very hard decision when choosing a dog trainer for your fur babies. Julie assessed the situation in my home environment and worked the areas causing anxiety and stress to the dogs and myself. I was in training as much as the pups. Julie has so many different suggestions and ideas for unique situations, proving how she can think outside the box. Every dog and home situation are uniquely different and Julie designs individualized training for your needs." - D Lau and Rufus & Bentley
True Passion
"A few words to describe Julie would be patient, knowledgeable, skilled and just overall wonderful! You can tell this is her true passion, and it shows in her work with the dogs." - T Price and Freda

Training should be fun for you AND your pooch! You will not find anyone barking out directions to you and your dog here. I like to introduce games into training as much as possible. Keeping training sessions short but fun and impactful is the best recipe for learning.
