Welcome to Nose-Centric Online

Online Dog Training for Dog Parents, Dog Trainers, Shelter Staff, and Rescuers

Unlike other training methodologies that rely on treats or tools, Nose-Centric Courses build a trusting relationship with your dog while optimizing a dog's natural behaviors, especially sniffing, for exceptional improvement. 

The Nose-Centric System is 100% based on my personal experience rehabilitating fearful and feral dogs.   There is no AI used for the content of my courses or video content.  

"I was so grateful to find these courses because it is SO difficult to find a trainer who has extensive experience with hoarder/feral/fearful dogs. I learned immediately actionable skills in these courses that I was not able to find anywhere else. I especially appreciated all of the real-time video examples, specific equipment suggestions, and clear instructions. Julie clearly understands what this unique kind of dog needs for success in a way many trainers do not. Great courses!" -Breanne

How Nose-Centric Can Help

  • Nose-Centric Dog Training and Rehabilitation is a dog training system that optimizes a dog’s natural behaviors, especially sniffing, to promote healing, recovery from fear, improve behavior, and reduce reactivity. This method brings the dog’s sense of smell from the overlooked to the forefront. After watching, studying, rehabilitating, and training dogs since 2009, I have learned that optimizing a dog’s sense of smell and other natural behaviors improves confidence, attentiveness, and positive behavior while reducing reactivity. We can also form deeper, trusting connections with our dogs when we speak their language of sniffing.

  • You learn how to help your dog to be comfortable with you and other people, be happy to have a leash put on and go for a walk, like to be touched, come when called, not hide in the house or yard, and live a fulfilling life with a higher level of welfare, all within a reasonable amount of time.

  • Improved trust, cooperation, and understanding between you and your dog by optimizing the dog’s natural behaviors, such as sniffing.

  • Reduces your dog’s fear and anxiety, even with severely fearful and feral dogs from hoarding cases, puppy mills, neglect and abuse cases, and past free-roaming street dogs.

  • Encourages your dog to remain in the thinking brain, rather than resorting to fight, flight, or freeze instincts.

  • Builds a core relationship so your dog will feel safe with you in all kinds of environments

  • Nose-Centric dogs far exceed what could be achieved with typical training methods, resulting in dogs and their humans living full, high quality lives together.

Which Course is Right for Me and My Dog?

If your dog is struggling in only one area of life, for example leash walking, but doing well in others, then the relevant course, or the Trifecta, may be all you need. However if your dog is scared, shut-down, hiding, or reactive, and not enjoying life overall, then the Entire Nose-Centric Program may be best for your dog. Dog Professionals would benefit from the Entire Program to fully understand how to integrate the Nose-Centric System in its entirety.
