Hi! I’m Nadja Juliana Wiese VSA-CDT, FDM, Fear Free Certified Professional

My passion for animals began at an early age and has grown into a lifelong commitment to their care and well-being. For the past 21 years, I’ve run Rain City Dog Walks, providing dedicated pet care. Through this journey, I discovered my true calling: helping dogs and their humans build stronger relationships based on trust, communication, and understanding. My work now focuses on improving the lives of both dogs and their guardians through positive, science-based training methods.

When we work together, my main goal is to help you:

Understand how your dog learns, communicates, and what drives their behavior, so you can teach them the skills they need to thrive.
Create an environment that sets both you and your dog up for success.
Recognize how your dog’s genetics influence their behavior, and meet their instinctual needs.
See your dog as an individual, and learn to understand them from their unique perspective.

Why choose a certified dog trainer?

As a certified dog trainer, I bring professional expertise in an unregulated industry. My certifications ensure that I use ethical, science-based methods, helping you and your dog reach your goals safely. By hiring a certified professional, you’re choosing someone committed to continuing education and the well-being of your dog.
