Dog Training

We booked 6 sessions with Julie for our golden retriever puppy Lola. Julie is an amazing teacher and not only shows you what to do but also why you do it. Our puppy is very well behaved and growing up to be a beautiful obedient/social dog. My partner and I highly recommend Julie! More...

We booked 4 lessons with Julie for our staffie cross Nellie who was coming up to a year old. Nellie is a very excitable jumping bundle of joy. Julie has given very good advise and her time with us training Nellie has been very helpful. She has taught us how to control Nellie indoors and out and to walk properly on the lead rather than dragging us around. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Julie as she has years of experience and expertise. More...

Dog Training

I had a series of 4 sessions with Julie who helped me to build confidence in letting my dog off the lead. She took a step by step approach with each step including a series of actions for me to practice between sessions. I found Julie patient and supportive and I am now very happy walking my dog off the lead wherever it is safe to do so. More...

Julie is an amazing trainer. She has given us fantastic guidance with our dogs anxiety, recall and lead pulling and we have seen great results. Julie takes the time to get to know you and your dog and their needs so as to give you the best advice. I would highly recommend Julie as a trainer. More...

Julie is obviously a very experienced dog training & quickly assessed the training we required to manage our dig Alfie. By doing the trading with us both on our walks we have been able to practice & improve our confidence in handling Alfie . As a result he’s a much calmer dog and we’re now enjoying our walks with him much more. We also feel we’re in charge , rather than Alfie!
The transformation in just 5 sessions , spread over several months are fantastic.
Julie is an excellent trainer of both dogs & owners. We highly recommend her ~ she’s definitely a dog whisperer!

First contacted Julie for help with my 4 month old goldie who was a persistent biter, drawing blood and being a right devil dog. I had tried various ideas that Julie gave me but the biting continued. I contacted Julie again as I needed some face to face help with Ruby. The difference was amazing. The biting stopped, and the jumping on the furniture hasn’t happened since. Julie gave us the confidence to react in a timely manner to deal with the bad behaviour. We have a lovely well rounded puppy who will grow into a well behaved adult. More...

Julie has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As new puppy parents with an exceptionally energetic puppy, we were in need of a lot of training support. Julie has provided a structured and methodical approach from the beginning, which has been very impactful. And Bear absolutely loves her, which is the best review possible! More...

Julie has been a fantastic trainer for my (very) stubborn dog. She's been on hand since he was a puppy and with her expert advise and brilliant training methods and thanks to Julie he's so much better behaved and responds well to commands. I would highly recommend.

8 May 2023

We had 6 sessions with Julie over a few months to work on lead reactivity with our 2 year old whippet, Irwin. Julie gave us the skills to slowly but surely stop the behaviour. We knew it wouldn't be an overnight change but he has come so far already and Julie gave us the tools to continue our work with him. She's really great and gets straight to the point, she won't mess you around! More...

Julie is super nice and excellent at her job. My dog is learning everything super quickly and lesson times fly by, they are a lot of fun! Definitely recommend

14 February 2023

When we found Julie, we had a four month old Tibetan Terrier puppy who was biting and pretty out of control in the house, and I certainly wouldnt have dreamed of letting him off the lead outdoors. Four weeks later we have a much, much calmer dog and we're very happy to let him off the lead. It was a pleasure Julie. Thank you. More...

30 January 2023

Julie is a very experienced dog handler and trainer. She is extremely good at understanding dogs behaviour and helping owners instil commands. Her confident approach helped me relate much better to my dog and I can now react calmly if there is an issue, with tools to help that do not require treats. I would highly recommend Julie. More...

Dog Training

Julie was lovely, highly recommend. We are first time dog parents and so felt we needed some support and help as in how best to support our little dachshund. Julie has worked with them before and so was knowledgeable on how best to approach things. With her help, we have been brave enough to take him off lead in the park and he is walking much better on the lead when out and about. It's great to know she does dog walking too if we should need her help at any time. More...

We are still in the progress of Oscar's training, but Julie is taking a slow and steady approach, giving us time to work on what she's taught us, before going on to the next stage. She gives good advice throughout and we are very happy 😊 More...

Julie helped us to train our puppy from the age of 4 months old. She helped us to understand our dog's needs and behavior and how to correct it. We really liked the fact that she did not ask us to take all the lessons in one month but have them flexibly as and when we needed them because our puppy was still growing. She was always here for to answer our questions and advise us. We highly recommend Julie. More...

Dog Training

My parents bought a puppy back in March and they thought she was going to be exactly like our other dog… well she is’nt 🤪 so I researched puppy trainers and came across Julie.
It’s the best thing I’ve done because not only is luna having fun but we’re learning too. We’re more confident and we can actually trust her.
The first time Julie told me to drop the lead I was terrified, but wow I never knew luna could actually listen and take orders, I was so proud of her and it’s all down to Julie and her years of training and experience as I wouldn’t of done that without her guidance.

Dog Training

Julie was a little miracle!! We have had the best time with her training our puppy, Bella! Bella wasn’t our first puppy but she is the first we have needed to train so that she behaves outside the house…. Julie has trained both puppy and humans!!

Our time spent with Julie has been immeasurable and we have always progressed and made improvements during the sessions and on our own!

There are time I wish I could have a cardboard cutout of Julie on walls cos Bella knows when Julie is there!!

We have loved the 1:1 training sessions and especially the manner in which Julie trains… we are proud to say that Bella is not treat trained, we have a connection beyond food.

Thank you Julie for all ur time and patience with us… we will continue to have more sessions as Bella progresses in life 🐾

Training with Julie was great! My Romanian rescue puppy learnt so much during our 1-1 sessions and I am able to confidently walk him with the techniques Julie shared with us. Julie also provided advice and support for training in the home and was always quick to reply when I had additional queries. Great support and reassurance when you’re not entirely sure you’re doing the right thing! Thanks Julie, from Lauren and Syd. More...

I am a first time puppy owner and have learnt a lot from Julie's puppy training package. Her advice is very calm, encouraging, makes sense and is useful. She has taught me how to get the best out of my puppy and what to expect, her vast experience is obvious. I am now using Julie for further socialisation and more "obedience" training. More...

Working with Julie has been immensely rewarding for both my dog and myself. I have a Patterdale X Lakeland Terrier who was becoming more and more reactive towards other dogs. In just 8 sessions Julie has transformed him in to a dog that can now walk happily alongside other dogs without my heart exploding. She is wise and firm. Exactly what we both needed. She has given me loads of advice so that I can continue to reinforce her wisdom moving forwards. She also sent loads of videos and messages in between sessions. Huge appreciation! More...

Julie is an outstanding dog trainer, she has years of experience and approaches each new job with calm, common sense, kindness and humour.

Dog Training

Julie has been helping me and my 7 months German shepherd puppy as a first time dog owner I was quite nervous and Coco was a biiig puppy who never had a proper training or socialised with any other dog before. As a beginner I watched so many videos online and they all included treats but when I didn’t have any treats then it was so hard to get my dog’s attention and if you don’t time the treating well it goes all wrong you can easily reward bad behaviour but when I met Julie everything has changed she doesn’t use treats in her training sessions and shows you how not to and still reward your dog ☺️ she is a calm and confident trainer even after one session you become calmer and more confident because the techniques she teaches you works well ☺️

I would highly recommend Julie anyone who needs help with training their dog.

We sought Julie's help with our naughty and disobedient one year old Jack Russell cross.
Julie was great, really informative and clear about what we were doing right and wrong. She is very practical and straightforward and a pleasure to work with.
Julie changed our dog walks from a nightmare to a pleasure, as a family we highly recommend her!

Julie is an excellent dog trainer. I had lost all confidence in walking my dog with my baby after the dog pulled the pram over. Julie turned my dog into the most wonderfully obedient girl and I feel like she listens to me and we have bonded and connected so much better. I have gone from a nervous wreck to a very confident dog owner. I can’t thank Julie enough for turning our lives around in only 4 sessions! Would absolutely recommend. More...

Julie has been great. Pippa (my 2 year old cockapoo) has responded really well to all she has taught me. On the third session Julie took us on the walk with a big black dog (in terrified Pippa's eyes). Pippa is very fearful of big dogs. To my amazement after about 10min Pippa was running happily side by side Julie's dog. Thank you Julie for your help. I now have tips to work on during our walks. More...

I have a very bright but very wilful Springer, not always coming when called, lunging at other dogs - wanting to play with them but appearing aggressive, taking off when she pleased, and becoming selectively deaf to my calling her. Over 3 days with only 3 hours training, Julie completely turned her around. Julie doesn't use treats but calmly indicated with body language, simple commands and lots of praise what she wanted Millie to do. If I am being honest, there was quite a bit of training of me as well...
I now feel confident to take her onto the common with other dogs and even into the countryside without worrying that she might annoy sheep. I cannot recommend Julie more highly.

It was an astonihing success: miraculous I would even say! In just 3 sessions, Julie calmly and quietly transformed a wilful, disobedient, nightmare of a dog into an immaculately behaved, responsive, aware and grown up elegant animal. With no shouting, no heavy behaviour, no treats offered - just simple steady commands repeated often, a good tone of voice and a very calm presence which the dog picked up on immediately and responded. She is a very clever dog, and I think enjoyed being the focus of attention. Back home, she knows she's done well and is super gracious. Julie clearly has loads of experience to understand a dog's take on a situation and how to help the animal deal with whatever it is. Our nighmare of a dog who used to lunge at others, pull our arms out of their sockets, strain at the leash now walks graciously to heel, and so often just ignores other passing dogs. As I wrote at the start: Miraculous!
Thank you SO much Julie.

I highly recommend Julie. She has a huge knowledge of dogs. I contacted her when our puppy was almost three months old in order to give ourselves a good start. I discovered that I had much more to learn than what I imagined. Thanks to Julie’s advice we’ve been able to correct some bad behaviors since the beginning. She helped me to understand the reasons behind bad actions and she guided me in a secure but friendly way through the first months with our puppy. Julie always knows what the problem is and have the solution! We will continue working with Julie as our puppy grows up but I already know we have good foundation. Thanks Julie! More...

We firstly made contact with Julie when our puppy was 3 months old (now he is 9.5 months). Our puppy comes from a working background and he is extremely active and stubborn. Julie has been indispensable for us all. She has a world of experience with different type of dogs and breeds and she help us “reading” our puppy’s behaviour and helped us training our dog so we all enjoy each others company.
I don’t know what we would have done without her!!!

It's been tough training our puppy during lockdown - particularly as we're first time owners - but Julie was great at providing tips and tricks over the internet for us to try.

Julie is an excellent dog trainer with great knowledge and very understanding and personable. We booked a set of 4 lessons following a free consultation where Julie gave loads of great advice pre-collecting our pups.

Before our first lesson Julie was available for a quick call to help us with an initial issue we faced and did so with last minute notice which just shows the excellent service you will receive. Would highly recommend Julie.
