FirstBarkReally upsetting how she uses public parks to run about 5 dogs off leash rather than going to either a real dog park or a private enclosed area. I wish she'd stop using Highwood Park, it makes it hard to bring kids there when there's a pack of dogs running loose.

Julie was great and amazing with our new puppy. She was patient and flexible to our schedules on top of being a great trainer. She really understands puppies and loves her work. Her in house consultations helped us change the behavior of our 11 month old puppy immediately. Thanks for everything Julie!

Old(er) Dogs Can Also Learn New Tricks!! Julie’s guidance and training quickly transformed our experiences with our dog, Maya! Maya was a 5-year-old dog with dog anxiety/aggression when she joined our family. My wife and I tried our best to dog-socialize Maya, but our inexperience was making life more stressful for Maya and us. After a few early failures and Maya’s constant reaction / lunging / growling at any dog, we didn’t know if or how we could help Maya or trust her / ourselves. Luckily we found Julie at Out N’ About Dog Training!! She visited us for professional, one-on-one training. After the first session, Julie had already provided us with a new toolbox of strategies to help us work with Maya and establish a positivity-based training foundation. We were able to quickly see Maya’s behavior change on daily walks as Maya’s stress level continued to decrease around other dogs. After 4 sessions, Maya was calmly meeting and greeting 10+ new dogs on a single walk. Julie helped us understand who our dog really was (an excitable greeter!) and how we could help Maya interact around other dogs. Julie’s experience provided us confidence to dog-socialize Maya in a calm and effective manner for Maya and the other dogs. We are so thankful we found Julie as she opened new possibilities for us to enjoy life with Maya by our side.
