Hi, I’m Julie Sikorak
I proudly served four years in the United States Marine Corps before pursuing advanced canine education at The Tom Rose School, where I completed both the Professional Trainer Course (2023) and the Master Trainer Course (2024).
My passion for canine behavior extends beyond training techniques. I'm continually fascinated by a dog's extraordinary ability to detect scent, the subtle behavioral changes that occur as they enter a scent cone, and the remarkable way the canine mind processes learning, communication, and problem-solving.
In 2025, I officially established my business, where I work with pet dogs and train service dogs for veterans. Today, I'm fortunate to do what I love: helping dogs and their handlers build strong, reliable partnerships rooted in trust, structure, and clear communication.
I'm especially drawn to working with strong-willed dogs, as they often require greater understanding, patience, and thoughtful guidance to overcome behavioral challenges, fears, or past experiences.
I find the greatest fulfillment in teaching dogs new skills and witnessing the moment they truly understand what's being asked of them. Equally important to me is educating handlers—helping them understand canine psychology, appreciate the value of patience, and recognize how breaking training into small, achievable steps leads to lasting success.
My Approach
My training approach is built on balance, clear communication, and understanding each dog as an individual. I use a variety of training methods to help dogs learn how to make good choices in a fair, calm, and supportive way.
I believe the relationship always comes first. When a dog feels safe, understood, and guided with clarity, unwanted behaviors become much easier to work through. By focusing on trust and gentle guidance through the leash, I help dogs learn with confidence—creating calmer homes and stronger bonds between dogs and their families.
