I honestly don't know where we would be without Julie. My pup Ryker was diagnosed with HD at 6 months old and the vet basically gave us pain pills and said surgery would be necessary when he was older. Ryker was having a lot of flare-ups and restricted from so many fun activities. Working with Julie to find Ryker's baseline has been life changing. I've gained so much knowledge specific to Ryker and his situation.

Julie is so knowledgeable and just fantastic at analyzing each individual dog's needs. The difference between working with Julie vs trying to implement general strategies you read on the internet has been a total game changer!! We now have the best home program customized for Ryker. It has been so beneficial, I don't even remember the last time we used pain meds!

I can't tell you how much finding Julie has changed our lives. When I first heard my pup Ryker had moderate/severe HD, I was devastated. I pictured either expensive surgery or a sad limping pup restricted from everything fun. Julie not only gave me hope but she gave me a vision for my guy having the BEST life. With her guidance and resources, Ryker is like a new dog and I am a super educated HD dog mom. We owe Julie everything!

I had the privilege to be part of Julie’s Canine Hip Dysplasia Success Program last year, which was soon after Willow was diagnosed with HD at 8 months. Through this program, Julie taught us everything we needed to know about hip dysplasia and how to manage it successfully at home. We saved 10K by not doing the two recommended hip surgeries and let Willow enjoy her adolescence playing with her brother, Montana.

The experience and knowledge that Julie is willing to share with us and so many other dog parents with HD has been beyond worth learning. I know our Willow would not be doing as great as she is without Julie's help. We are very thankful for all she has done for our Willow who is now 2 years old and she is thriving!

“Working with Julie has been SO helpful. She was able to help me develop a home program, tailor made to Hilde, her strengths and her weaknesses. It’s been so wonderful and my girl is now able to do LONG hikes with me and soon we will reach our 10 mile hike goal, which I thought was totally out of the question and unrealistic.

But you can trust what Julie says - she was right! We’re kicking HD’s butt as we progress her home program!”

(Since writing this, Hilde has now surpassed 10 miles and has done a 12 mile hike with her family!)

I’ve been working with Julie for almost a year. I found her group and programs online after my dog was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and I was told he needed immediate surgery! Looking for more answers, I reached out to her and with a thorough consultation, she helped me realize that he had more going on than HD. She encouraged me to see an orthopedic specialist who diagnosed that he did in fact have a torn cruciate ligament which we were able to fix through surgery and can now manage his HD through Julie’s wonderful home programs!

Julie’s experience and knowledge in canine physical therapy has been instrumental in helping us find the proper diagnosis and treatment and has given my dog back his quality of life!

"I learned so much in such a short time that has made life much more comfortable for my boy, Kylo. Definitely things you normally wouldn’t even think about. Julie is so knowledgeable and cares about each dog and dog parent.

You won’t regret it!!"

I really enjoyed going through the success program with Julie. It was great having the support and learning about how HD works and how to work around it to make my girl as strong and happy as possible.

Since taking the “success program,” my girl has been able to do the things we both love with ease. And we are back to enjoying our lives and our dog.

Working with Julie the past 2 years has made a huge difference in my boy's life. When he was officially diagnosed, as everyone might expect, was the devastation and hurt from the "death sentence" since most owners and many vets will liken HD to that....but it is NOT! I refused to have surgery because that is the "end all cure"!

Julie provided me with viable options! Ways to get him stronger and live with it and still have an amazing life - which he has! He is stronger than ever and it is because of Julie’s knowledge, patience, and skills.

"The Happy At Home Hip Dysplasia Course was my 1st step in the right direction with Julie's infectious compassion for hip dysplasia dogs & her over 20 yrs expertise. I learned that your dog's HOME ENVIRONMENT (what to change & add) is critical to their hip dysplasia SUCCESS.

I was feeling sad & defeated upon my rescuing my 10 year young doodle with severe hip dysplasia & arthritis. Going through the “Sanity-Saving” course proved the exact opposite of those negative feelings. POSITIVE mindset is key.

In the Success Program, we learned so much about hip dysplasia, how to evaluate my dog, stretching, exercises, and tons more to help Biscuit live her best HD life."
