 Julie Colt
Vermont’s Expert Dog Trainer

I practice humane, reward-based training & specialize in adolescent issues and aggression. With over 30 years experience studying canine behavior and training dogs, my work focuses on using your dog’s natural desires as motivators for learning and retaining desirable behaviors. I use techniques designed to set you and your dog up for success. Dogs learn by repetition and they do what works! I teach your dog to repeat behaviors, in a step-by-step process, that adds up to eliminating unwanted behaviors and repeating desirable behaviors you have included in your plan.

In-home behavioral help and training, off site sessions, board & train for suitable dogs and sessions at the ranch by appointment.   Phone consultations and Zoom sessions for all US and International clients.

I offer professional dog training and canine behavior specialist services to the Vermont & New Hampshire  Upper Valley/ Twin States Region including:  Hartland, Norwich, Woodstock, Hanover,  Lebanon, Lyme, and surrounding Upper Valley communities.

We support all local rescues and shelters.   Always a complimentary 30 minute session.
