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. We teach you how to create a balanced coexistence with your dog in your daily life.

What 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!

I have been so impressed with B The Leader Dog Training! Julia is truly a dog whisperer. Both my dog and I have learned so much from the two times we have worked with her. Before going to Julia I had spent 6 MONTHS trying to get Iris to walk calmly on a leash (without pulling). Within 2 hours, Iris was a 1,000 times better! I would give Julie 10 stars if I could!
I'd recommend you buy the 2 session package. The second sessions was just as helpful and as important as the first!

Our experience with B The Leader has been wonderful. We brought our rescue pup to puppy playgroup shortly after we got her at 8 weeks old and she has been going ever since. Puppy playgroup has been a great way to help Zoey learn to socialize with dogs both big and small, to get a lot of energy out, and it's also very reassuring to have other puppy owners and trainers to talk with about the challenges of raising a well-adjusted puppy. We did our first training with Julia last week (Zoey is now 6 months old) and after a 2+ hour training, the humans in our family have learned how to be pack leaders who help Zoey to be her very best. We are so impressed with the progress that Zoey has made at home in just 4 days. We highly recommend B the Leader. Julia, Dakota and Elizabeth rock!

We have had our puppy for 8 months and this is our 3rd trainer but finally a breakthrough! We have seen such a difference after just one session we still have another to go and maybe more after that but the difference is amazing. Julie is very honest and direct but also very kind and patient with the animals and the people, I had a complete melt down but didn’t feel any judgement whatsoever. Her approach is simple and basic but really has already helped so much she gave us something I hadn’t had for awhile and that was hope. I know we have a long road ahead of us but I’m actually excited now, trust me we’ve been to enough trainers and she’s AMAZING!

The team at the facility were able to help our two dogs begin their journey in living without fear. We were provided the tools and techniques in our session and saw a huge improvement within hours. We also love the safe and contoled puppy playdate environment where our dogs can work on their socialization and confidence skills.
