We took our German Shepherd Rylee, who had several behavioral issues. We had taken her to another trainer, and they told us we should get rid of her. She had a fear aggression, and wouldn't be good around our toddler. A friend recommended trying Julia, before getting rid of our pet. It was the best decision. In 2 weeks she trained our dog, and taught us how to handle our pet. Rylee hasn't had any issues since she's been trained. She's the best dog. I would definitely recommend Julia, and take any future pups to be trained.

Julia trained my black lab pup in the summer of 2016 and we are thrilled with the results. She was recommended by a friend who had trained 2 dogs. On first visit, Julia came to the house to meet Charlie and do an overall assessment of his personality and behavior. We sent him to her house during the day for about 2 weeks, and by the end he could easily respond to all the basic commands - sit, stay, come, heel, leave it, drop it, etc. I was initially apprehensive about leaving him for extended periods, but Charlie loved going there every day and Julie was firm but very loving with all the dogs there. Charlie is now 11 months and still doing really well with his obedience, but it does require consistency and follow up! I think the best things he learned were to come on command and to heel off leash. People on the street can't believe how well behaved he is for being a young dog. Best investment in the dog we have made - it means we're able to take him with us almost anywhere we go because he's reliably trained. Highly recommend!
