Julie is super friendly and more than happy to work with your dog! She did a great job with our puppy, helping to set a foundation of commands/obedience that we continue to build off of as he grows and matures. She’s also very easy to communicate with and will answer any questions that your have!

Julie is Fantastic! She has a wealth of knowledge and it shows when it came to helping us train our precious schnauzer. He is definitely more manageable thanks to the expertise of Julie! We also board with her and when he returns home we know he has been well taken care of and is very mannerable. She goes above and beyond because once the training starts she is always a phone call away to offer help with any issues we may have with our baby boy schnauzer. Thanks again ,Julie you are awesome!!

Recently had our dog, Bode, in Julie's Board & Train program. We were having issues with him pulling, running ahead while walking on the leash, eating grass, sticks, marking territory, etc. He had HIGH anxiety when put in his kennel. After 2 weeks with Julie, he walks by our side on his leash & goes in his kennel when told without us having to put him in. Now he even sleeps in his kennel at night. His behavior has greatly improved! Since his stay, Julie has been available for advice & further training instruction. Highly recommend River City Dog Manners!
