Hi, I’m julie. I’m a dog trainer in Redmond WA, Servicing the greater eastside and seattle area
I love teaching, and I love dogs - and my business is designed around bringing both together. My passion is simple: help owners train their dogs so they can enjoy a lifetime of happiness together.
I started my training career at Puppy Manners Family Dog School in 2020, interning and learning from the best. Now I’m a full time trainer based out of Redmond WA, servicing the greater Eastside and Seattle. I teach group classes at Puppy Manners, in Woodiville WA, which is special because that is where my love for dog training first began. In addition to group classes, I offer private lessons, in-home training, new puppy consults, board and trains, private family boarding and more.
I also strive to give back to the dog community and am the new member coordinator at Sol’s Dog Park (https://www.solsdogpark.com/) in Woodinville. I assess new dogs and help new members get settled into the community where social dogs can come play safely.
My Approach
Personalized
No two dogs — or families — are the same, so I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training plans. Before we start, I take the time to really get to know your dog and your household’s routines and goals. That’s how we build a plan that actually fits your life and feels achievable.
Balanced
Real, lasting progress comes down to consistency and balance. I build customized training plans with manageable homework and easy-to-follow steps the whole family can realistically stick to. When everyone’s on the same page, that’s when you start seeing the progress you’re after. I want to help your dog fit into YOUR life.
Client centered
This isn’t a program you’re dropped into — it’s a partnership. I take the time to understand your goals and your dog before we start. I listen to your concerns and what’s really going on at home, so the plan feels like it was built with you, not just for you. You’re an active part of the process every step of the way.
