Hi, my name is Julia.
I have a BSc honours degree in psychology and am a qualified dog trainer (IMDT) https://www.imdt.com.au/find-a-qualified-imdt-trainer.
I set up Paws Pet Care in 2014 and since then have been working full-time as a Dog Trainer and Dog Walker (interspersed with a few Pet Minding jobs). It is my own business and I work alone. I am based in Leeming, WA and cover surrounding suburbs (see ‘Services and Pricing’ page for a list of suburbs I cover).
Prior to this, I gained 20+ years experience with dogs working as a vet nurse and at an animal shelter in London, and volunteering at dog kennels and dog training clubs in London and Perth, as well as volunteering for over 10 years as a dog walker for people who are unable to walk their dogs due to illness/disability (Cinnamon Trust UK & POOPS WA).
I offer social off-lead group walks, special needs walks, and training options.
Many of my social group dogs start out with me as training clients and with a little training of dog and owner they are now happily integrated into off-lead group walks with much improved behaviour (see my reviews on ‘Testimonials’ page. There are links there too to my reviews on Google and Facebook – all 5 star).
I receive referrals from veterinarians and other professional dog trainers.
I have completed online and in-person courses in Dog First Aid (see my qualifications and certificates below).
Learning about dog psychology, behaviour and training techniques is my passion so I spend much of my free time improving my knowledge and skills.
I use force-free, reward-based training techniques.
My education, maturity, responsibility, reliability, experience and confidence with animals along with my caring nature means that you can rest assured you and your pets will be provided with excellent care and services (see my reviews on ‘Testimonials’ page).
I have a current police clearance and am insured for pet services and public liability.
As I am with clients’ dogs all day, I can’t answer the phone so please email or text me in the first instance with a few details about your dog (eg name, age, sex, breed), your requirements, and your suburb on 0458 515 915 or email julia@pawspetcare.com.au
