About Treatpouch.com's Trainers
Julie Posluns
After graduating from a correction-style dog training program in 2003, Julie got a new puppy – a Pug Beagle X (Puggle) named Tyson. At 8 months Tyson started barking and lunging at people, at 10 months he became leash reactive towards dogs, by 1 year he had full out aggression towards puppies. When Julie realized that she had not learned proper techniques to deal with aggression – punishing Tyson for his behaviour made him lash out with greater intensity, she started looking for new ways to help her dog. Clicker training brought a new light to Tyson’s aggression and gave Julie a skill-set to manage his behaviour. This inspired Julie to learn about positive reinforcement training and set her on the path to becoming a professional positive reinforcement dog trainer.
Julie is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) through the Certification Council for Pet Dog Trainers (CCPDT). As the owner of a successful dog walking company in Toronto, Julie sharpens her training skills daily when she is out on her group walks. When she’s not dog walking you can find her teaching tricks to her own dogs.
Both her dogs have titles in Rally Obedience and Freestyle but her greatest accomplishment is being able to bring her Puggle out with her on group walks. Treatpouch.com is her way of sharing with the world both the power of positive reinforcement training and the joy that comes from working with your dog.
Julie is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Animal Behavior, at Memorial University, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.
Andre Yeu
Andre’s passion for dog training began when he rescued his beagle, Duke, who suffered from on-leash reactivity and dog-aggression. Andre quickly discovered clicker training and the power of positive reinforcement, and through patience and care was able to help Duke overcome his fear and dislike of other dogs.
Duke’s success gave Andre the confidence to volunteer and foster with a number of animal rescue organizations in the city. While each foster dog presented new challenges every dog could be helped through clicker training.
In 2009, Andre decided to open When Hounds Fly! in Downtown Toronto, to make positive reinforcement training convenient and accessible to members of the community, and to improve the quality of life for dogs and dog owners in the downtown core. With the success of his school and the transformation he’s seen in the neighbourhood dogs, Andre decided that it would be a worthy cause to offer people the benefits of positive reinforcement based training regardless of where they live. Through Treatpouch.com Andre hopes to improve the lives of dogs and their people all over the world.
Andre is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP), a Certified Pet Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), and a Truly Dog-Friendly Trainer. He grew up in Vancouver, has a bachelor’s degree in commerce, with honors, from the University of British Columbia, and lives in Toronto with his partner, Hyedie Hashimoto, and their rescue beagles, Duke and Petey.

Easy and Clear Instructions
simple, clear instructions. The training really works.
Very concise and informative, but some lessons and exercises could be shown in more detail to make them more clear.

A majority of the lessons were slides, not actual video of "how to". The videos, there is very little verbal communication, very sterile, cold and unfriendly environment. Just doesn't seem realistic to the average person training their own pet.
I adopted my first dog, a 2 year old yorkie mix, about 6 months ago. I was told that she was fully house and crate trained--spoiler alert: she definitely was not! She has also had some mild separation trouble, and she struggles to not torment my cat each day. It was causing some considerable stress to my roommate and I did a lot of research on different in-person and online courses before deciding to try this one out--this is the first training course we have done ever. We have been working our way through this course for about 3 weeks and it has made a noticeable difference in her behavior! She is WAY less likely to have accidents indoors and is learning (relatively quickly) how to be a polite and well behaved girl. I can't recommend this class enough! Just 5-10 minutes of practicing old skills each day and gradually teaching new skills as she masters the basics has worked wonders. Thank you from myself and Poppy!
I'm not a positive only trainer, never will be, don't agree with much of the course.

The course is good but the PDF for section 2 doesn't open or download. I contacted the course creators over a month ago and got no help with this.
