Pet Education and Private Dog Training Services - Pleasanton, CA
Julie Bond earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Psychology and a Master's Degree in Animal Behavior from the University of California at Davis. In 1991, she founded her own behavior consulting service because she saw a need for an animal care professional who focuses on the psychological well-being of companion animals. She treats a wide variety of behavior problems across species including, but not limited to, aggression, separation anxiety, phobias, fears, obsessive compulsive disorder, multi-pet households, etc.
A prolific writer, Julie has written on a variety of behavior topics in online and print media, as well as well-respected research journals.
