Mrs. Julie has truly been a God-send. After our previous experience with another trainer, I was heartbroken and honestly scared to trust someone with Willow again. We felt defeated, discouraged, and wondered if we would ever find someone who genuinely cared. Then we found Mrs. Julie, and I truly believe God placed her in our lives exactly when we needed her. From the very first day, I could see that this wasn’t just a job for her. It was her calling. She has such a genuine love for dogs, and it shows in everything she does. She took the time to get to know Willow, understand her personality, and train her with so much patience, kindness, and encouragement. She never tried to force Willow into a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, she met her where she was and helped her grow every step of the way. The difference in Willow is nothing short of amazing. She has become more confident, obedient, and eager to learn. Even more than that, I can see how much she trusts Mrs. Julie. As a dog mom, there is no greater peace than knowing your dog is safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. Every time Willow is with Mrs. Julie, I know she is exactly where she needs to be. Mrs. Julie didn’t just train my dog. She restored my confidence too. She answered every question, celebrated every milestone with us, and made me feel like Willow’s success mattered just as much to her as it did to me. She taught me how to continue building on everything Willow learned, and because of that, our bond is stronger than ever. I will never be able to thank Mrs. Julie enough for what she has done for Willow and for me. She gave us hope after a difficult experience and completely changed our journey. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and truly gifted at what she does. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, invest in their success, and love them every step of the way, Mrs. Julie is the one. She has been such a blessing to us, and I will forever be grateful that God led us to her. I hope every dog owner gets the chance to experience the care, dedication, and love that Mrs. Julie gives so freely. She has made a lasting impact on our lives, and I will always be thankful for everything she has done for Willow.

We took our 2 small dogs for an evaluation. She was very thorough and explained the results of each dog’s evaluation. She made suggestions to help us work with them. She is very patient and understanding and is very honest about further training and her expectations. Extremely knowledgeable about dogs and training. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing evaluation/training for their dogs!

I recently had to put my dog down and it was one of the most hardest moments of my life. I wish I was able to tell my long story on here but we can only use so many words per google post.. if you have animals and you are tired of them getting bullied or being the bully.. you don’t realize it but that causes trauma that leads to other bad things.. like biting your children or someone else’s. If it hasn’t stopped then you don’t know how too .. call a professional!! Call Mrs. Julia !! That is what her business is here for is to help before it’s too late like my situation. If I could go back in time I definitely would have had Julia help our family. I Contacted her on Easter Sunday the afternoon that it happened on. She didn’t even know me she took the time on an important holiday to message me back her suggestions .. she is very professional and she authentically cares.

I have been blessed with a German Shepherd. This is such an intelligent breed and deserves to be properly trained. I sought out Julie for help. She had Scout obedient and confident in no time. One day as I was walking Scout and working on his commands he really gave me a scare and lunged at another dog in the most aggressive way. It really startled me to the point I was questioning if he was too much dog for me and if I could actually get this beauty to his fullest potential. I went to Julie and explained my concerns. She assured me Scout was worth the effort and he could be trained to not respond with such aggression. With only one session Julie had Scout turned around. She worked with us and gave me the tools to distract and have him focus on me not other dogs. Julie even used her dogs to show Scout how to react properly when he encountered other dogs. I left this session feeling hopeful and confident that with time spent and the techniques Julie taught me and Scout we will overcome this aggression and he will be the fur buddy he is meant to be. I do not have enough words to explain how much of a difference it has made in my German Shepherd after working with Julie. If you want an amazing, obedient and confident dog to have at your side this training is the place to find it!

I have a male 5 month old GSP, all puppy, very active and very prey driven. I knew I would be challenged with this breed but wanted an active family dog. Julie gave me tools to keep him attentive during traning at home while also teaching me how to read his mannerisms and how to anticipate what he would do next. This helps me be more consistent and sometimes catch the bad behavior before it sometimes begins. There were a couple of weeks of home training that I felt defeated and had accomplished very little. But Julie reminded me that he is still a puppy and has instincts that have to be met. She pointed out the positive things about his behavior which helped me reset my mind. She gave me tools to use when we hit a brick wall and how to redirect him or just stop and start over later. We still have a lot of work to do but Julie has been super helpful in guiding me in how to handle such an energetic pup. Julie has trained me as much as the dog! He will make a great family dog! Julie said so! 🙂
