Juliana DeWillems: Finding Fulfillment and Avoiding Burnout in Dog Training [Episode 256]

In this first installment of a two-part conversation, we welcome Juliana DeWillems - Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, Karen Pryor Academy faculty member, and founder of JW Dog Training - for a deeply honest and empowering discussion.

Juliana shares her unique journey into the world of animal training - from event planning at a humane society to discovering her calling through fostering rambunctious adolescent dogs. Unlike many, Juliana entered the field without first navigating aversive methods, drawn instinctively to positive reinforcement by both curiosity and compassion.

We also explore:
✅ What burnout looked and felt like for Juliana as a business owner and trainer
✅ How she reshaped her career (and life) to align with her strengths and values
✅ The emotional realities of working in a helping profession
✅ Why therapy, self-awareness, and redefining success are critical tools for sustainability
✅ The possibilities—and pitfalls—of building a digitally-based animal training business

Juliana's insights will resonate with anyone who's ever questioned their capacity to "do it all," and her vulnerability provides a roadmap for building a career with more intention, peace, and joy. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the field, this episode offers inspiration, validation, and hope for a thriving future.
