PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED & ACCREDITED DOG TRAINER IN NORTH WILTSHIRE

The Puppy Adviser offers training, advice and support for all breeds, regardless of background or experience through small group classes & workshops and tailored 1:1 packages & consultations.

​

Group sessions are held at my private, fully equipped venue at Lower Farm in Rowde - home of The Rowdey Cow Cafe, offering both an indoor, fully equipped barn and a 6 acre field

as well as opportunities to work around the farm and the cafe. 

 

1:1 sessions are held in your home, local area or at my venue as agreed and appropriate.

Areas covered include Devizes, Calne, Melksham, Chippenham, Marlborough

and all surrounding villages.​

​​

 

My name is Julia and I am a professionally qualified dog trainer, educated and assessed by

The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and externally verified by the Open College Network. 

I am proud to display the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter symbol which shows that I am

checked, monitored & supported by the leading trainer organisation 

and I abide by ethical, welfare & conduct obligations. 

 

Passionate about puppies and giving them the best start in life, I offer 1:1 sessions to support you

in your choice of puppy or rescue; planning & preparing for their arrival and those all-important

first few weeks. 

As an IMDT "Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy" Qualified Instructor, I run regular small group Puppy Schools alongside Play & Train Puppy Meets.

 

As puppy hurtles towards adolescence (and beyond), Everyday Manners Training Club enables you to continue building, developing & practising good habits, rehearsing what you would like things to be like in real life with the opportunity to work around the farm and cafe with a wide range of scenarios and experiences available.  

​

As an Associate Scurry Dog Instructor and a UK Sniffer Dog Instructor, I also offer training opportunities that will provide you with an extensive toolkit of games & activities to enrich and fulfil your dog

that you can take anywhere. 

​

I seek to positively impact the lives of our dogs through modern science & reward-based 

training and equip you with the skills, knowledge and understanding to build and enjoy the best possible relationship based on mutual trust and connection.

 

I teach key behaviours alongside essential life skills - promoting confidence, optimism,

resilience, effective coping strategies and impulse control; 

making good choices; being focused & engaged; feeling happy, calm and relaxed.

 

I take a holistic approach to training, emphasising the importance of

meeting individual physical, mental and emotional needs

alongside habituation, appropriate socialisation and daily enrichment.

 

I believe in an ethical, motivational and non-judgemental approach,

training, supporting and advising with kindness, consistency and fun.

Training is a critical part of every dog's development, learning and socialisation.

I will teach you how dogs learn and explain why they do what they do and

I will show you how best to train & support your dog in order to set him / her up for success.

"...it is the best money I have ever spent on him! The hour with Julia gave me confidence and realistic methods to make sure the relationship with my dog was happy and successful. I highly recommend Julia and will be back for more help if needed."
