Julie grew up in the Vancouver area and has worked with and around dogs for many years. She helped develop 3 of the 5 dog parks in the Clark County area and started learning about canine behavior and body language. She then worked as a Veterinary Assistant and realized many people need help with training and behavioral issues. She became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer in 2016 and holds a CPDT-KA certification. She also holds a certification in Feline management and is a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
Training Philosophy
Julie believes all dogs can be good dogs with the right training and reinforcement. She enjoys helping people understand their dog’s behavior.
