Julie is our highly-valued founder and previous owner of Wonder Dogs. She shares her household with Kashi, her tibetan terrier, and Phoenix, her mixed breed rescue dog. Julie’s teaching talents are much sought-after for the sports of Rally-FrEe and Musical Freestyle, as well as canine sports foundations.
Ashley Michaelis
office coordinator
Ashley is an integral part of the Wonder Dogs Team as our Office Coordinator! In actuality her title should be Chaos Coordinator, since she is responsible for the overall coordination of a broad range of services and resources that allow the Wonder Dogs organization to operate efficiently. She keeps all of us in line with scheduling and registration using her organizational superpowers. Ashley shares her home with a german shepherd/pit bull/husky mix named Rex, who is itching to start his career in nosework and parkour.
