NEW VIRTUAL CLASSES!

“PUPPY 101”   and   “YOUR TEENAGE DOG”

Even if you’re taking an in-person class you never get the detailed and personalized help you get from a private consult.
These 1-1/2 hour virtual classes will fill in all the gaps.

Puppy having trouble with crating, potty training, biting the kids? Not sure how to best set things up for your house and family? Detailed help just for you. Plus the very first cue you should teach your puppy that you rarely get in a class!

Got an adolescent dog (6-18 months)? Can’t believe how difficult they’ve become? Just like humans, dogs go through a “teenage” phase. Get all the tricks and tips (not just the usual obedience skills!) to help you through this. Ask all your specific questions. Plus two critical skills to teach that you never get in obedience classes!

One and a half hour online consult for $129
Schedule with Julie:  jehumiston@gmail.com  or  612-827-4111

Eight years ago we engaged you to assess our 8 month old Old English Sheepdog, Snibzi.
Could she be transformed into a safe, friendly pet? With your assessment and your amazing teaching methods, she improved enormously.

Snibzi has been taking agility classes and competing. Last weekend she won her
Master’s title, is ranked #2 in the country for her breed, and we’re going to the AKC Invitationals!
This wouldn’t have happened without you.

Thank you so much for your keen eye, excellent directions, teaching, patience and kindness. With deep appreciation for all you did — we thank you SO much!      — Ann-Marie and Dan T.

Julie believed that we would achieve our goal of getting Casey comfortable with getting her shots at the vet. Julie donated time out of her busy schedule to ensure that we were successful. I would highly recommend Julie for your pet training needs.     – Brian Sandish

Thanks Julie! First night of class was a big success. [Oz] is getting sit, place, [hand target] and
eye contact really well. Funny enough, our 7 year old setter came in the room when I was practicing with him this morning and she joined in.      – Ryan Gould

Thanks for teaching loose leash walking. Tia is an absolute joy to take on our long walks.
– Ann Barnes

We all want to sincerely thank you for the wonderful classes [and] for your patience in working with all of us. We are so happy that George is behaving better and we are enjoying being with him so much more. Your methods are very effective and effortless. We really appreciate you!

— Brad, Jean and John Lance and George!

“We are so excited to share our news! With your methods we were able to get Dougy
to say hi to [another puppy] in a nice way . . . We are very thankful for your training and
look forward to our next sessions. Thanks!”         — Megan and Phil 

“I’ve been through both the Puppy Kindergarten and the Obedience Level One. I like Julie’s cycle in and out anytime teaching method. It allows some flexibility for me, but also keeps the puppy engaged for the full hour because we keep switching up what we do while building on the same skills each week. I would recommend her classes!”     – Dr. Jamie Hartman
