JOSY STUDER
Josy is capable of working with all breeds and behavioural temperaments. Home companion pets and hard-driven working dogs are all accepted at GOJU-RYU PRO-K9.
The proven ability of Josy Studer ensures that your canine friend – whether chronically shy or overtly aggressive – will be a pleasure to own, guaranteed.
Josy has been associated with the training and breeding of dogs since early childhood. She is a third generation dog professional.
Her grandmother, who ran a successful breeding kennel of Golden Retrievers and many other breeds in Europe-Switzerland for 30-plus years, passed this knowledge on to Josy’s parents. They then continued the breeding of both registered Golden Retrievers and Standard Poodles when they immigrated as a family, to Canada in 1993.
Dogs have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. In my world they not only served our family with companionship, but also supported us financially. One of my fondest childhood dog memories is of a typical “Appenzeller” Swiss cross named “Chico” that my father brought home one evening. "Chico" used to walk me to my bus stop, approximately one and a half kms away and then return home as if this was the most natural thing for him to do. He had no formal training or any registration papers. He was simply my best friend. It is stories and experiences such as these that have always fascinated me about dogs. I have developed many questions over the years about this amazing animal that most of us share our homes with and yet know so little of. I needed to know and find out how to access this wonderful animal more successfully.
Upon high school graduation, Josy completed a Social Services Certificate and a Human Service Worker Diploma at Thompson Rivers University. Nine years of experience working with atypical youth and adults equipped Josy with the adaptive skills of patience and understanding. The challenges of assisting people at risk, laid a strong foundation in realizing the importance of individual differences. It's vital to understand that you cannot "shoe-box" perceptions in either humans or our canine companions.
In 2009 Josy completed a three-year internship through Evans Training Centre. Don Evans, founder of Evans Training Centre and former owner, worked with Josy one-on-one. During her internship Josy trained and worked dogs successfully in the areas of obedience, personal protection and tracking. Upon completion of her internship in 2012 Don Evans sold Evans Training Centre and has since retired.
It was through my studies and my combination of working and training dogs at the same time that I had the realization how intertwined my skills were becoming. I was amazed and surprised to learn that many of the same principles were applicable when working with humans or animals. It became the most natural thing for me to work with dogs on a professional level.
I've been running my own kennel for several years now with hundreds of dogs "under my belt". My internship experiences laid a strong foundation in my professional career working dogs. My journey and experiences are always expanding as I am continually adding to my expertise. It is my opinion that true expertise evolves from life-long learning. It is for this reason that me and my life partner Eric, who also loves working with dogs, are continually attending seminars to further our training knowledge.
Dog training is practical not theoretical. Every dog I have had the privilege of working with has given me the opportunity to learn. One cannot call themselves a professional dog trainer by simply attending a course, reading a few books, or watching some Youtube videos. It is critical that one has had qualitative hands-on experience working dogs before one can call themselves an expert. In the world of dogs and – as they perceive it – we cannot apply just one method in order to successfully reach their fullest genetic potential. It is my job, as an experienced trainer, to assertively communicate to the animal my role and expectations, as well as teach the human owners how to correct or be successful and effective themselves. It is important to me to have every dog leave my facility highly trained and, even more importantly, to have the owner walk away feeling confident, assured, and dog educated.
You may ask yourself "Why would I bring my dog to a professional trainer?" Well, if you own a loving beautiful, kind, forgiving dog you have no need to ask. However, if you own a dog that may be obtuse, challenging, obstinate, hyperactive, not listening, avoiding, pulling, has a high pain threshold, lacks confidence, and is driving you crazy, you are on the path to seek professional advice. Or perhaps you simply want to increase your own dog knowledge and are interested in owning a professionally trained canine. At Goju-Ryu Pro-K9 every dog and owner is accepted and will be trained and educated!
