Training & Behaviour
Dog Wellbeing Studio
For dogs and the people who live with them, at both ends of the lead
Hi, I’m Julia. I help dogs and their people build calmer, more understanding relationships through ethical, relationship-led training. My work is shaped by experience with rescue and sensitive dogs, and by a belief that lasting change comes from clarity, trust, and cooperation — not force or quick fixes.
I share my life with four dogs, three of whom are rescues. They are not “perfect” dogs, and they each have their own behavioural and health challenges. Living and working alongside them has given me a deep, practical understanding of what it’s like to navigate real-life difficulties — not just in theory, but every day.
At Dog Wellbeing Studio, training isn’t just about teaching a dog what to do. It’s about helping dogs and people learn how to live together more easily, communicate more clearly, and move forward as a team.

My values
Understanding before action
I start by understanding the dog, their history, and their environment before asking for change. Progress comes from understanding, consistency, and shared responsibility at both ends of the lead.
Respect at both ends of the lead
I don’t use force, punishment, or one-size-fits-all programmes. Dogs and people both deserve to feel safe, supported, and understood throughout the training process.
Ethical, realistic training
Training is adapted to suit your dog, your household, and your day-to-day life, focusing on practical solutions that support long-term wellbeing rather than quick fixes.
