I'm going to start this review off with Justine has many agility awards with 20+ years to back up her training. She's the real deal! I am so grateful and impressed with what Justine helped me accomplish in just 3 weeks of training with my dog Phoenix. He was not well mannered, wouldn't listen me, and would like to play tug-a-war on the leash during our walks. During week 1 of the training I was already getting compliments from strangers about how well trained he was and he started showing me the respect we both needed. She taught me how to teach him what was right and wrong behavior was. When you initially speak with her she come across as intense which she is but if you follow all the rules and the clift notes your dog will show improvement you just need to trust the process. My dog did a complete 180 during this training. Thank you so much Justine for doing what you do!

Justine is the real deal. I had recently adopted a 2.5yr old Anatolian shepherd mix from a shelter. Leo is the first dog I’ve had in my life since I was a teenager several decades ago. While he wasn’t too difficult to handle in the house, outdoors was a totally different story. He was almost impossible to walk on a leash and he did not listen at all in the backyard. It was clear he hadn’t really been trained beyond potty training, nor socialized properly and he was 100+ lbs of solid muscle. Within 3 sessions it’s as if I have a completely different dog. He is calm outdoors now, walks right next to me, has recall, and can walk calmly through the pet store past all kinds of treats, kids, even other dogs with ease. I didn’t think it could be done so quickly but I was wrong. Justine has a wall of ribbons and awards from agility shows, which is much more telling than some ‘certification’ that can be purchased online. Folks, call Justine, ask for help, and just do what she says. She can help you I promise. Edited to add: Took Leo to the beach, Home Depot, and a tiny pet store where a couple of tiny toy dogs practically walked under my dog’s belly. He was super calm and stuck by me. Before I met Justine I wasn’t sure I could ever have the kind of dog that I could take anywhere. Now he gets so many compliments for his good behavior.

Justine helped us with our 14 month old collie who we just did not know how to communicate with. After only three sessions he is off leash, responds to our commands and is quickly learning to be the best boy. A complete game changer for us. I'll be honest, the first session you're gonna be like "oh Gosh, what did we get ourselves into?"... but trust the process. She has it down to a science. I assume the toughest part of her job is training us! She had to really knock some bad habits out of us. Expect to work with your dog multiple times a day, and get ready to change some habits, but it is 100% worth it. Also she taught us some tips on how to bake pies! So that was cool too 😂 Thank you again, Justine!
