Julie is a great trainer. I contacted Julie with the intention of working with one of my dogs to deal with some behavior problems. I ended up doing both of my dogs and I couldn't be happier. Julie understands dogs and their behavior whether they are puppies or older rescues with a sorted past. My two little mutts loved going to classes. They also loved the work I did at home with them under the great instruction of Julie. She would always check in with me and ask how things were going and she even did a few at home visits to help me with my dogs there as well. Julie doesn't let even the most stubborn of dogs get to her. One of my dogs would refuse to do the "down" movement regardless of what we did. But with a little research Julie found an amazingly effective and positive way to get her to learn the trick. Now she likes to show this and her many other "moves" off to other people. :)
