I'm so grateful we found Julie! She's been invaluable with our dog Sherlock. The training she gave us on leash skills and reactivity was just what we needed!
Our Aussie/Poodle/St. Bernard mix is a brilliant girl with a dominant streak. One session with Julie has opened a new path of communication. I'm able to establish boundaries while providing the mental stimulus my pup desperately needed. It's far more fun and relaxed in our house …Read full reviewClose full review
Our Aussie/Poodle/St. Bernard mix is a brilliant girl with a dominant streak. One session with Julie has opened a new path of communication. I'm able to establish boundaries while providing the mental stimulus my pup desperately needed. It's far more fun and relaxed in our house and it's only been a few days since our session. We have more work to do, but I am so grateful for the tools and guidance Julie gave to us. Highly recommend!
Sensitive Dog was AMAZING. In one session I've seen improvement in my leash reactive dog. It's always a balance of training the person and the dog and Julie was great with that. She took the time to explain how the tools and the process work and was very patient with both me and my dog. It's an intense session, but 100% worth it.

We had such a great experience with Julie at Sensitive Dog! Our guy Jerry is a nervous rescue with reactivity issues. We had been working with him for the last 1.5 yrs without any improvements. After just the first initial session with Julie, I saw an immediate change and improvement. We decided to do the 4 week intensive program, and I am so glad we did. Julie really takes the time to listen and understand the issues you want to focus on and tailors the training to you and your dog. I would highly recommend Sensitive Dog Training to everyone!
