Starting On The Right Foot
Getting in early with puppy preschool is the best way to start your life together, ensuring both you and your pet learn healthy habits and learn to live well together. Designed for puppies from 8-18 weeks old, we not only teach your puppy, but we equip you with the knowledge and skills to continue their learning as they grow. Julie is an accredited, Delta certified trainer and uses the latest force-free methods.
What You Learn
Puppy preschool is made for the early, critical time in a puppy’s development as they learn responsible socialising and learn new skills for the first time. The course covers areas including:
- How to correctly fade undesirable behaviours such as jumping and puppy biting
- Toilet training techniques
- How to train your puppy using the latest force-free methods
- How to regain your puppy’s focus
- How to settle your puppy
- What to do when your puppy is destructive
- How to keep your puppy happy when left alone
Puppy preschool is also about teaching you just as much as your dog. We help you understand how dogs think and what they need to thrive, helping you to communicate effectively with your puppy. Importantly, we teach you the basic elements you need to know to continue their training and learning as they grow so they continue with the good habits introduced at puppy preschool.

Julie is amazing ! She has a wealth of knowledge and our little Phoenix adores her. She has given us so many practical strategies and has made such a difference in how we approach and help our puppy grow into a calm and happy member of our family. This was Phoenix a few weeks after seeing Julie and we could already see such a difference in his demeanour. She recommended a more healthy diet for our little dog and some great strategies for helping to settle him. She is so patient and so very generous with her knowledge! Couldn’t recommend her enough !!

Absolutely fantastic. Can’t recommend Julie enough! We feel so much more confident about being dog owners and bringing out the best in our pup! We’ve got a great, actionable plan that’s easy for our family to follow and we’re already noticing improved behaviour. We’ve super happy with the process and outcomes. Thank you Julie!

We recently engaged Julie to provide behavioural training for our cat Mila.
We found Mila had become extremely stressed after we relocated. Mila was constantly crying, not eating, hiding and very lethargic. Julie was outstanding from the moment we contacted her. Julie actively listened to our concerns, took the time to meet Mila and assess our environment and then devised highly effective strategies with regular follow up that eventually turned Mila back into the happy and healthy cat we know.
Julie’s love and knowledge of animals clearly shows through in everything she does and we cannot thank you enough and look forward to also using your pet sitting services in the future.

I just got my 4months cavoodle puppy full body groomed and I love it so much!! I never thought short hair would suit her but amazing Julie made her beautiful plus so much puppy training tips as my puppy is going through bad play bite. I have also learnt so much from her. Thank you so much and highly recommend Beyond beginners from grooming to behavioural consultation!

Can’t recommend Julie enough! She’s so understanding and full of knowledge. We welcomed a puppy to our family during lockdown when puppy preschool classes were not running. She was able to do one in one sessions with us (when restrictions allowed) and started us and our puppy off on the right foot. Knowing we have an expert to refer back to if we need help is so reassuring! Thank you Julie!

Julie really helped with issues that our German Shepard was having with barking and walking on lead. Tried other dog trainers in Bansktown but nobody could solve these issues until Julie. Couldn't recommend Julie and beyond beginners enough.

Julie was so helpful in helping us train and learn about our new puppy. She is absolutely passionate about her job and has a wealth of experience and knowledge. We learned so much we did 2 puppy preschool courses with her and it really helped us all to adjust to our new family member in the healthiest and happiest way. We are so grateful we found her. Would not hesitate to recommend her.
