Paws Pet Care

We have had 3 sessions with Julia so far and plan to have many more. We came to her because our dog was reactive and would bark at dogs constantly. Although we have a long way to go, we can see the dramatic changes already. We can feel how much calmer our dog is and he truly enjoys his walks now. We can’t wait to continue our journey with Julia!

Julia helped us with our one year old aussie shepherd and most importantly gave us the tools we need to build a stronger bond with him and to train him. She really advocated for him which taught us to see things from his POV as well. We would not hesitate to recommend Julia to others!

I have no hesitation in recommending Julia 100% in all aspects of training and socialising dogs.Archie our 1 year old was insecure and very reactive to other dogs. Upon apologising in the park to another dog owner, they gave us Julia’s number and told us they use to have the same problem.We started with Julia in November and are so happy with all the new strategies that she has helped us implement. Archie’s confidence has grown significantly, his manners and obedience have improved. He is a lot calmer and relaxed.We now know how to read his signs and this gives him confidence in us.Archie loves his off lead group walks with other dogs and is straight out the door leaping into a crate in Julia’s van with no hesitation leaving me for his adventure with Julia & Co.It is very obvious Julia loves her job and all her furry friends, it shows in the results she achieves.

We are so happy we found Julia. Having never owned a dog before, I was struggling to understand our little 8 month old puppy. We had one session at our home with Julia and then I came on some of the social walks with her. She is an amazing model and trained me as much as she trained our little guy!Often we would stop to chat to other dog owners and they would ask for advice which Julia was more than happy to share. She has so much knowledge about dogs and is generous with it above and beyond what I expected from our sessions.I am now confident to take him on an off-lead walk by myself and actually enjoy it, I have learnt how to assess other dogs from a distance and best of all, I now feel much more connected with with my puppy. He feels safe to come to me now when he feels unsure, where before he would just take off.Absolutely love how much fun we can have together now thanks to Julia. I would recommend her to anyone!

Julia was fantastic in handling our girl, J (Rottweiler x ) who was struggling with her social skills and interacting with other dogs. Not only did she offer personalised training for J, she also was able to talk through her process so that we understood the techniques that we needed to continue to use when she wasn’t there.Julia also did some walks with J to build up her confidence, social skills, recall and taught J the appropriate behavior when interacting with other dogs.Since the sessions, we have noticed that J is far calmer when meeting new dogs, and her recall has shown a noticeable improvement. We would highly recommend Julia!

Julia assisted us in supporting our Border Collie with his confidence and helped educate us on how to modify/address some minor behavioural issues.We had two sessions which were really informative and helpful. With some minor changes to our routine and walks we've got a much more balanced and happier dog. What more could you ask for!Julia really cares about her clients and was diligent with her follow ups. We couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Julia!Madison, David and Bear

I highly recommend Julia, she was instrumental in teaching our dog recall and social skills when he was a mad kelpie puppy!She takes care, is highly professional and has been absolutely wonderful positive presence in his life.

Julia has so much knowledge and was very calm and helpful. My dog Apollo is now living his best life! Thank you for sharing all the resources, strategies and leading by example on our training walks. I learnt so much and Apollo did too!

I met Julia on the beach yesterday - she was walking 4 dogs and I had my little adolescent puppy who in the last month or so has just started to show some naughty behaviour around other dogs, and his lack of training was really beginning to show. I was really feeling my inexperience with dogs (as he is my first dog).Julia gave me some tips as we walked along the beach on what I could do to improve my puppy's recall, his resource guarding and his interactions with other dogs (he has started to become a bit snarly/cheeky with new dogs over the past month). Julia had four dogs with her, one of which was her own, and she had them all completely under control - I was amazed at how in control she was.Julia's dogs came when she wanted them to, sat in front of her when she wanted them to - they were like putty in her hands, and they were having an absolute blast on their walk. Julia assessed new dogs approaching on the beach, occasionally moved her group up towards the dunes as other groups of dogs passed, rewarding her dogs constantly for their excellent behaviour, pointing out what my dog was telling me with his body language in certain situations - this is a person who knows so much about dogs, who is very generous with her advice and her walking group were just an absolute pleasure to be around. She was fun, played with her dogs and was totally connected to her group at all times - these dogs just wanted to please her - they clearly adored her.I am so grateful to have met Julia on the beach - I have learnt so much from her. Having seen Julia in action on one of her walks I will be highly recommending her to my friends and family.Thank you so much Julia!

Julia was such a wonderful trainer. she was calm, confident and knowledgeable and was able to help us where other trainers and even medication failed. I would definitely recommend her!
