Certified dog trainer in Burnaby - Julie Emery

✔ Certified Trainer
✔ Bark Busters Certified

Meet Julie Emery

I’ve transformed hundreds of dogs and their families across the Greater Vancouver area. With deep expertise in canine behaviour and a genuine passion for helping families, I’m proud to be one of the most trusted dog trainers in the Burnaby area. Coming from a background of self-employment, volunteering, and ski instruction, I’ve always understood the importance of patience, communication, and dedication.

After experiencing firsthand the frustration of a reactive, lead-pulling dog despite extensive puppy training, I became determined to help other families build better relationships with their dogs through effective training techniques. As a certified Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, I specialize in alleviating the stress, frustration, and embarrassment that behaviour problems cause families.

My mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs.

We Understand How Frustrating
Dog Behaviour Problems Can Be

You love your dog, but their behaviour is taking a toll:

    • Your home feels chaotic.
    • Guests avoid coming over.
    • Walks are stressful instead of enjoyable.
    • You’ve tried everything: training classes, bark collars, and muzzles, but nothing sticks.
    • The constant barking is draining your energy.
    • The aggression makes you anxious.
    • The separation anxiety is heartbreaking.
    • And the guilt of feeling frustrated with your dog only makes it worse.

You’re not alone. And there is a solution.

Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:

  • In-home dog training addresses real-world behaviours
  • No bark collars or punishment methods needed
  • Tools and techniques that create lasting change
  • We train you to communicate effectively with your dog
  • Results are often visible in the first 2–2.5-hour session
  • Lifetime support means you’re never alone

FAQs

How much does training cost?

We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 604-475-1359 for a free quote, or book a consultation to discuss your situation.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see noticeable improvement during the first session. Long-term habits take consistency, don’t forget! We schedule follow-up appointments to suit your dog’s needs and help you! Your lifetime guarantee means you always have the support you need.

Do you train all breeds and ages?

Yes! We’ve successfully trained puppies to senior dogs and all breeds. No dog is too old or too stubborn to learn.

What if my dog is aggressive? Is training safe?

Aggression is one of our specialties. Each Bark Busters trainer is trained on our unique “Stand Rite No Bite” system, and must pass a test to make sure they know how to safely approach aggressive situations. We use safe, effective communication techniques, and coach the humans on how to address the root cause of aggression to create lasting change.

Why in-home training instead of group classes?

Dogs behave differently at home, where they’re most comfortable and where problems actually occur. In-home training addresses the exact behaviours causing you stress, in the exact setting where they happen.

What does "lifetime support" really mean?

You can call us anytime – weeks, months, or years later – for advice or follow-up sessions. There’s no time limit. We’re here for the life of your dog.

Do I need special equipment like bark collars?

We do not use any form of shock collar. Your trainer will assess and advise you on what your specific dog will need. You do not need to buy anything in advance.

How long are training sessions?

The initial session is typically 2-2.5 hours. This gives us time to assess your dog, teach you effective techniques, and start seeing results immediately. The follow-up sessions are typically an hour.

What areas do you serve?

Julie serves the Greater Vancouver area, including Burnaby, the Tri-Cities, North Vancouver, East Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam & Port Moody
