Education
Professional development is at the forefront of my passion. Leadership includes being up to date in ones field (“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn” – John Cotton Dana). My education is always on-going and I treasure the experience working with each client and their pup/dog. Working along side the best, throughout my studies and co-instructing group classes, using science based, force free, training methods. I provide a wealth of resources that are shared in all services – group classes, private lessons in your home and ‘real world walk’ options. As a Canine Behaviourist, my goal is to educate my clients on the ‘hows and whys’ as I believe understanding the basics of cause for emotion & behaviour is needed for long term success. All training and behaviour consultations are designed to provide an exceptional, FUN learning experience with real life results!

Fueled by Passion
I’d always had dogs in my life but Jack was my first “puppy” (adopted at one year old & 80 lbs!) with zero training. Going into group classes I realized there was so much to learn! Group classes together with private training (with my now incredible friend and mentor) taught me how essential it is to learn how dogs communicate, how they learn, creating a relationship built on kindness and an understanding of our dogs as a species. To start, dog are individuals, just like us 😉 I’m delighted to have literally ‘stubbled’ into this passion and endlessly grateful for my once “tarzan from the jungle”, now calm cool and collected dog-o-mine, Jack. He’s taught me so much and now I get the pleasure of working to inspire others on their training journey.

“Julie – just wanted to say how pleased we are with the results of the training sessions we took with you. The techniques you taught me have been key to our success thus far and I’m sure we’ll conquer them all. You were a superb communicator and as passionate ‘dog person’ as I’ve met. It was a delight to work with you.”
