FirstBarkJulie helped us understand how we can better communicate with our dog in a way she understands. The training session was practical, fun, and engaging and we’re looking forward to trying out the training techniques we learned.

We just had our initial session with Julie and it was wonderful! She was direct, helpful, and gave us many tips and tricks to continue working with our pup, Ember. We have gone through several other types of trainings and this one has been the most thorough. The one-on-one aspect allowed us to ask specific questions and make subtle progress with Ember while we were there.

My husband and I scheduled an in person consult with Julie to help us get on the same page with behavior correction for our Blue Heeler puppy. Two days later and we’re already seeing an improvement in both our pup and ourselves. Julie coached us on being calmer, more confident, and consistent. The modeling and exercises she demonstrated-and had us practice-were the lifeline we needed. There is so much conflicting info out there so it was truly transformative to meet with an expert in person. Also, Tilly absolutely loved Julie. It was sweet to see her bond so quickly!
Our experience with the initial consultation with Julie was excellent. She answered all of our questions and gave us a bunch of helpful training tips and resources.

I am so grateful to Sensitive Dog. I recently brough home a retriever puppy and quickly found that we needed help with crate training. Julie and Darcie were great! After only ONE session my little man was sleeping calmly in his crate for almost the whole night! Our first session was a few weeks ago and we are still going strong. I am so pleased, and so is my husband, lol. This is our second puppy in 2 years. In Feb of 2022 we brought home a rambunctious Corgi. I don't think I could have survived without Sensitive Dog's amazing Puppyhood video series. There is even a section of the series dedicated to kids which helped our 7-year old daughter understand how to interact with our puppy. I am forever grateful.
