WORKING SLEDDOG

Making understanding animals through science accessible.

Studying animal behaviour, sheds light on how animals interact with each other and their environments.

ie: why they behave the way they do.

By being aware of these understandings, humans in turn learn more about their own behaviour.

This intersection of animal and human behaviour, often referred to as comparative psychology, forms the foundation of my approach.

Owned and operated by Julia Fazzari, BA (Psychology), with specialized education in Animal Behaviour and advanced hands-on experience in canine and equine training.

Drawing from a foundation in psychology, animal behaviour science, and the equine racing industry, our training approach combines evidence-based methods with a deep understanding of learning theory, behaviour, and the human-animal bond. We work across foundational obedience, behaviour modification, service dog development, and sport dog training, with every program fully tailored to the individual dog and handler.

With a background spanning canine behaviour, equine training, and real-world working partnerships between animals and handlers, our focus is on building clear communication, reliable behaviour, and lasting change through practical, real-life training systems.
