Julie's Biography

Julie Norman Jenkins is a multi-sport dog trainer with a passion for teaching people and dogs. As a junior handler, Julie trained and showed her own dogs in obedience, conformation, herding, agility, flyball, musical freestyle, and canine disc. Alongside her mother, Deb Norman, Julie co-founded Y2K9s Dog Sports Club in suburban Philadelphia. Ten years later, Julie relocated to North Carolina and served eight years as manager of the dog training program at Paws4ever, in Mebane, NC. Julie now operates Quicksilver Canine, in Julian, NC, teaching lessons, classes, and seminars.

 

Julie and her dogs have appeared on Pet Star, Live with Regis & Kelly, Good Morning America, and Late Night with David Letterman. She also occasionally appears on Animal Precinct. In 2003, she traveled to Japan for three months to teach agility, obedience, and freestyle.

 

Julie’s flyball team, Fur Fun, has enjoyed considerable success: 25 time Regional Champions (Regions 9, 13 & 15), 2015 NAFA overall Multibreed Champions, and 2014 Can Am Multibreed Grand Champions.

 

Julie’s training methods and philosophies apply to any sport. Her instruction style is flexible and fun, focusing on the strengths and challenges of individuals rather than using cookie-cutter solutions. Her foundation and puppy training emphasize developing a loving relationship through play and cooperative learning. These foundation skills benefit performance dogs of many disciplines and make sport-specific training easy and fun. Julie strives to bring out the very best in each dog and handler team, regardless of breed, speed, or level of training.
