Juli is a Certified Dog Trainer through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. She has dedicated many hours with Guide Dogs of America and raised a guide dog in her home while also providing public outings.

She has a therapy dog, Jumbo, who visits children to adults 103 years of age!

Volunteering at the local shelter, she provides enrichment for the pups in the form of games, activities and exercise to prevent anxiety, boredom and stress. She believes each and every dog is worthy of a loving home.

Better Together Dog Training has many years of experience in supporting pet owners to make positive changes in their pet's behavior or learn new behaviors. Our high success rate and client satisfaction, combined with relationship building, make for a great foundation!

How we work

  • A do-with approach

    Better Together Dog Training LLC believes in a do-with approach, ensuring we are providing the best training for both you and your dog. We believe in working as much with you as with your dog.

  • Customized to your dog

    We customize our training plans to fit the needs, skills and personality of your dog. Our goal is a long-lasting positive relationship with you and your dog through expert training.

  • Positive reinforcement only

    We only use positive reinforcement techniques — think treats and praise! We don't use prong, e-collars, choke chains, intimidation, or fear.

  • Licensed, certified & insured

    Continuing education is a high priority: Juli has attended many training workshops and classes, and is certified in CPR and first aid for dogs.

Living your best life together!

Our dog training methods are science-based and focus on helping you and your pup communicate effectively together. We aim to achieve that through positive reinforcement — think treats, praise and life rewards — and individualized training plans.

Dogs are amazing, and we are so fortunate to be able to share our lives together!
