Hi, I'm Josie.
I'm a dog trainer serving the Snohomish area, currently completing my professional certification through A Canine Experience in Clearview, WA — where I train hands-on with a wide variety of dogs and breeds every single week.
I believe great training isn't about quick fixes or one magic command. Your dog will absolutely learn new skills with me — but the real change happens when we work on the techniques, the timing, and the mindset that fit into your everyday life.
When you and your dog truly understand each other, walks get calmer, manners stick, and life together gets a whole lot easier. Every breed and every rescue is welcome here.
What we can work on together
From puppy basics to polished off-leash manners, here's a sample of what I help dogs and owners learn.
