CVT w/ ER experience & Behaviorist

Pet care experience

I have been in the animal care field for over 16 years. I am a licensed veterinary technician and have been a dog trainer and behaviorist with Awesome Paws Academy since 2006. I have been certified in Pet First Aid/CPR and have been in both general practice and emergency/critical care veterinary medicine, so am comfortable taking care of pets of all ages and medical needs/nursing care. I am happy to help pet sit, medicate, train, and modify any behavioral concerns while you are away. I have worked with dogs, cats, birds, and even rats. We can work on basic leash skills on walks, manners during the stay, or even Tricks and other Fun Skills. Please let me know how I may help you achieve your goals! :-)

Julie is the only person I would trust with my fearful dog. She is his vet tech and the only one who can handle him at vet appointments. He is so fearful that she is his only friend besides myself and my husband. I am apprenticing with her as a dog trainer during classes she teaches, and I have witnessed her teach "quiet" to a barker, "down" to an adult dog who struggled with it, and much more. I have great confidence that she will be a wonderful petsitter due to her lodge n learn services, her gentle patience, and her medical and training skill.

Information Julie W. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference and don't worry about any breed or mix or behavioral concern. I would prefer to meet with owners prior to and help the dog learn who I am and how much fun we can have before just stopping in or having them stay with me.

A typical day

My goal is that your pet has just as much fun on vacation - or more - than you! :-) I am a behaviorist, so I am happy to work on leash manners, basic skills, and even teach tricks and more while your baby stays with me. I teach classes and private lessons, from puppy to competition, and use science-based, humane methods. We will enjoy yard time (fenced-in), walks, and even field trips to pet stores, dog parks, or other pet-friendly events if you allow. I can even bring them to the classes I teach and work with them before and after class as well.
