Hello, my name is Julie Blanding and I am a certified TWC trainer. I was lucky enough to attend and graduate from the live course in 2020.

The TWC (Training Without Conflict) methodology was developed by world renowned trainer and competitor, Ivan Balabanov.

I live in Rhode Island and coach out of the Pack of Paws facility in Charlton Massachusetts.

 

My Mission

Bring out the best in you and your canine partner.
