Hi, I’m Jules, founder of Big Dog Energy.

My dog training journey first started when my boy Toro came into my life.  We spent all of our time together having fun, practicing obedience and engagement techniques.  Later on we discovered dog sports and trained and competed in a sport called IGP which consists of three disciplines: Tracking, Obedience and Protection.

My experience with dog training includes apprenticeships with professional dog trainers, online courses led by some of the world’s top dog trainers and in-person workshops in competitive obedience and protection work with some of Canada’s top sport dog trainers.

The knowledge and experience I’ve gained working with intense dogs in the sport dog world translates well to working with pet dogs of all breeds and sizes. I focus on helping owners develop a strong bond with their dog and ensure that we find the right motivation for the dog to learn best.

I have been helping owners and their dogs since 2019. I enjoy helping improve the relationship between owners and their dogs by promoting engagement and developing structure in the household. Attentive dogs with clear expectations tend to be politely behaved.
