A Positive Connection Dog Training

I want your dog to be the best dog possible! Group classes or private training can help your canine companion become a loyal, well-behaved member of your family. Love your dog as much as he loves you.

I am Julie Fudge Smith. I have been training dogs professionally since 2003 and started a positive connection in 2007. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and The Pet Professional Guild. I am committed to humane, dog friendly services which will provide you with individualized family dog training, dog behavior assessments, and Canine Good Citizen® training and evaluations. I want to help your dog achieve his goal of becoming a well-mannered member of the family.

Colleen Pelar and I have teamed together to bring you Your Family Dog Podcast in which we offer simple solutions to common canine problems. We believe life is better with a dog, and we hope you think so too! It’s our mission to help families love living with dogs. Find us on iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher.
