Julia Torbert Dunning

Tails of Harmony LLC Dog Training.Serving The Portland Area in Maine.Certified Control Unleashed Instructor.I like to take a whole dog - whole life approach to working with clients. I really try to get where they are at and what their lifestyle and schedule involves and create a plan that will then be a success.Most of the time I think I am really just a relationship counselor for dogs & their humans!I love training with lots games and fun exercises that dogs love. I can see my clients realize how fun their dog as we work in our first session. I also believe it is crucial for a dog not be seen negatively, in order for them to succeed in our human world. So we work with anticipations/expectations and how that is read by the dog through the owner's face and body.
