PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED & ACCREDITED 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 a Puppy Club for puppies under 24 weeks and a Training Club for puppies over 24 weeks.
These enable 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, cafe and wider environments 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 puppy
that you can take anywhere.
I seek to positively impact the lives of our puppies 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 puppy's development, learning and socialisation.
I will teach you how puppies learn and explain why they do what they do and
I will show you how best to train & support your puppy in order to set him / her up for success.
