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!

We were very impressed with the atmosphere and structure of the training Julia presented. We learned it was not so much our puppy needing the training, but us as owners learning how to be tje leader of the pack. 😉
Julia has given my wife and I tools, techniques, knowledge and understanding that have been effective in establishing ourselves as our dog's leader(s).

beyond valuable. we immediately were able to take what we learned from Julia and support our puppy's behavior by teaching commands and limiting the biting that comes with teething. our puppy got it and is training quickly.
In a single 2 hour session my puppy went from an anxious, over-excited mess on a leash to walking like a gentleman fit for his black and white tuxedo fur.

In a single 2 hour session my puppy went from an anxious, over-excited mess on a leash to walking like a gentleman fit for his black and white tuxedo fur. I learned so much and it transformed my puppy. I struggle with anxiety and Julia was patient, kind, and so supportive. We'll be going back to refine our skills, but to me and everyone who has seen my dog since our orientation training, Julia is nothing short of a miracle worker.
