Julie received her formal dog training qualification in 2011 through the “The Australian Gentle Dog Training Association Inc.” She has run a number of different classes including "Basic Manners," "Agility for fun," "Flyball," and "Tricks."

She volunteered at the Lost Dogs Home for a number of years, participating in the Post Adoption program as well as the Behavioural Rehabilitation program.

Julie’s passion is developing the relationship and communication between dogs and their humans, to tighten their bond and have fun doing it. She is the besotted owner of a beautiful border collie, Kylah, who can skateboard, play soccer, is a Frisbee whiz, plays quoits, knows how to do the Hokey Pokey, and loves to swim.
