FirstBarkWent in with a semi fearful dog, with very low confidence who didn't much listen to us, and two days later, following what we were taught she's more affectionate and is behaving extremely well.

About B The Leader Dog Training
B the Leader offers dog behavioral training and classes. Owner, Julia Bowlin, has been training dogs since 2004. We specialize in behavior problems including jumping, biting, pulling on the leash, and running away. This is deeper training than basic commands.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
I understand you have a play group. Is that for dogs in your training only?
We hold puppy playgroups for dogs 6 months and under on Sundays from 12:30-1:30pm. We don't require training for that but we do ask you call ahead to let us know you'll be coming! For dogs over 6 months we require a training to make sure all of our pups are respectful of our staff and of each other!

Words cannot express how happy I am now that my husband and I found Julia!!! I have two dogs that are 4 and 8 years old. I was always afraid to ever go to any dog training because I was afraid I would feel like I was doing everything wrong and feel ashamed. Julia is so amazing in her approach with communicating with humans as she is with dogs. The training was super informative, easy to understand, and actually fun. We learned how to effectively communicate with as well as be the leader of our small pack. She addressed all of our concerns and even ones we didn't realize we had until we got there. In just two days the peace, harmony, and balance has been restored to our home. I cannot believe we went so long without seeking help. I can now take both of my fur babies on walks together without worrying or being embarrassed by their previous behavior. I now feel like I am the best dog parent I can possibly be. I recommend B The Leader to absolutely everyone who is seeking additional guidance for their dogs.

I would highly recommend Julia. She has helped our dog thru so much as well as us as owners. It is so important to be a responsible pet owner and Julia has taught us everything. We are the ones in training :). We have gone thru the Agility class, the initial training class, and she's come to our home to work on anything we need as well. She is amazing at knowing just whats going on with your dog specifically and we trust her completely. When we are out of town she also boards our dog and works with her while she stays.
I have had a great experience with Julia. She has given me great advice for my puppy. He is a Rottweiler canecorso mix and getting huge, but with her one on one training and puppy socializing classes he is becoming a good citizen. Thank you for helping me.
Julia has become part of our family, not only has she trained out dog, she has taught us how to be good dog owners. She showed us that it is not always the dog having the issues, but its the owner and the way the owner treats there dog. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our dog!
