Julie, the owner of Puppy Love Dog Training Group, offers group classes and private in-home obedience lessons, as well as behavior modification consults for dogs and puppies.
Through ‘Doggy JumpStart,’ she teaches the basics to dogs while their owners are at work. With certifications as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), Julie employs plain collars or harnesses, occasionally using head halters for additional control. She communicates using clickers or verbal markers, never resorting to anything designed to startle, intimidate, or hurt dogs.
Puppy Love’s training philosophy centers on the belief that every dog can learn and deserves an education, while every dog lover deserves a well-behaved dog. Julie’s services are available in Minneapolis, MN, and the western suburbs. She offers good manners obedience training for puppies and dogs, utilizing positive reinforcement methods that are effective and enjoyable for both humans and dogs.
Alongside one-on-one training in clients’ homes and private counseling for behavior problems, Julie also provides group obedience and puppy socialization classes. For those lacking time or skill to train their dogs, Julie offers the ‘JumpStart’ program, where she trains dogs in their homes while owners are at work, afterward teaching the necessary skills to take over.
