About the Trainer
Hi, I’m Julia. I’m a Certified Training Partner through the Karen Pryor Academy. Which means I have successfully completed a rigorous in-person and hands-on program testing my theoretical and applied dog training knowledge and skill. I abide by a strict ethical code and work to continue my dog training education each day.
I am based in Mississauga, Ontario but also offer virtual services if you live outside of my service area.
About the Training
I employ rewards-based and humane training techniques. I will help you gain skills and confidence without the use of aversive tools and intimidation. From foundation skills and manners to extensive behaviour modification, I do not implement pain, fear, intimidation, or deprivation into the training plan.
About my Dog
I’ve had a herding dog beside me every day since I was three years old. First a Sheltie mix, then an Australian Shepherd mix, and now a spunky Border Collie. Though I have worked with thousands of dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, herding dogs definitely hold a special place in my heart.
