Guest Trainers

Julis Hayes, MS, CPDT-KA

Julis from Beyond the Tail Dog Training offers dog training in the Seattle area and is excited to introduce group classes in Carnation. With 4 years of experience as a dog trainer and a Master in Science in Applied Animal Behavior & Animal Welfare from the University of Edinburgh, Julis is well-equipped to provide professional training services. They live with their wife and three pets and spend their free time working with their rescue dog on reactivity, nose work, and Rally. Recently, they have welcomed an Australian Shepherd puppy into their home.


Julis will be teaching:

  

  • Teens Play & Train -  This class is designed for socializing your adolescent puppy with other dogs. The dogs should be between 4 months and 1 year old and should have previously interacted with unfamiliar dogs. We will start by helping everyone to stay calm in the presence of other dogs, followed by controlled introductions, and then progress as the dogs feel ready. Structured play will be interspersed with short training sessions to keep things enjoyable for all. At least one adult must stay for the class and we're happy to answer any questions you may have. If your puppy is younger than 4 months, please contact us for referrals. If you're concerned about your puppy's behavior around other dogs, get in touch with us to arrange a private session where we can assess whether your dog is suitable for the playgroup.


  • Control Unleashed -   This class is designed to help improve communication between you and your dog. It is based on Leslie McDevitt’s popular program and focuses on concepts like self-settling and emotional regulation. You will also learn how to neutrally observe distractions like strange people and dogs. The class is suitable for dogs that are reactive or tend to bark and lunge. However, most of the training will take place behind barriers, which can help dogs cope better with the training. If you’re concerned about your dog’s suitability, please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information. 


  • Beginner  Nosework -   This class introduces your dog to the basics of scent, hides, and target odor, as well as ways to keep your dog active. Each dog will work separately and be crated in the car between turns, making this a perfect class for barky or reactive dogs. You can register for an individual class or sign up for the six-week session (and save money!).
