Learn to train the most “un-trainable” dogs.

Do you want to make a real difference in the lives of dogs who have been failed by traditional training methods? I’m Julie Hart, a seasoned expert in rehabilitating and training fearful and feral dogs, and I’m inviting you to join our community.

Rehab. Train. Thrive with Fearful and Feral Dogs

Traditional training methods often fail to address the unique needs of fearful and feral dogs. With scarce resources available in this specialized area, many trainers, rescuers, and dog owners  find themselves at a loss when it comes to rehabilitating these vulnerable animals. 

Drawing from extensive hands-on experience in foster, rescue, and shelter environments, I've honed in on what truly works in transforming fearful and feral dogs into happy, thriving companions. Understand that training alone doesn't equate to trust – especially for dogs who have endured trauma from hoarding situations, abuse, or neglect, or those who were once street dogs or feral roamers. These dogs need more than just commands; they need compassionate guidance and unwavering support to overcome their fears. 

By subscribing to this monthly service, you'll gain invaluable insights and techniques that transcend traditional training dogmas. What trainers learn from working with these resilient animals not only transforms the lives of fearful and feral dogs but also enhances their abilities to serve all their clients’ and dogs needs’ – including the more "typical" ones. From communication cues to trust-building techniques, these lessons have personally empowered me to teach all dogs better, resulting in happier, more well-adjusted companions.
