Reviews

  • She has a great instinct for what each dog needs .

    During our holiday, Julia took care of our girls. One them is reactive and not comfortable with people, the other young and in need of structure. Julia handled both perfectly.

  • Knowing that Foxy felt comfortable and safe with her meant a lot to me.

    Julia even trained tricks with him and made sure to use the same vocabulary I use. She adapted to his individual quirks and handled him wonderfully, even where he can be a bit more challenging.

  • I can always rely on her without a worry.

    I’ve been entrusting my rescue German Shepherd, Dr Watson, to Julia ever since he was a puppy. He’s insecure and reactive when he meets other dogs and is anything but a ‘beginner’s dog’. Watson demands structure, empathy and clarity every single moment. With Julia, I can focus on my work knowing he is well cared for and getting the mental and physical stimulation he needs.

  • Buddy's transformation reflects Julia's natural way with dogs.

    The transformation Buddy has undergone since Julia adopted him from us is remarkable. He is now healthy, happy, confident and full of energy. Even more impressive is the bond between them. They have become a true team, built on trust and understanding.

    I would trust Julia with any rescue dog, including those with behavioural challenges, and happily with my own — something I reserve for very few people.
