I did aggression training with Julie for my 8 year old who had recently become dog aggressive. Thanks to Julie Lizzie (white dog) is on a new diet and happier than ever. I now know how to handle my dog, keeping her and other dogs safe. I would and have already recommended Julie to other dog owners I know. She truly cares about dogs and is upfront about realistic goals. She even got us started with an amazing nose work game! I am so happy with everything that Lizzie and I have learned. She even helped us to find a puppy (brown pup in Julies arms) for my Dad.

Prior to reaching out to Julie we were dealing with an aggressive 3 month Golden Retriever who was constantly biting us, scratching our furniture etc.. He was difficult to manage overall which is when we decided to reach out to Julie. She has been wonderful to work with. She was always on time and constantly checked on our progress. She listened to our concerns and followed on with corrective methods all positive reinforcement based. What we liked about her training was consistency is key along with following any daily schedules including crate training. She was very informative on puppy behaviors, type pf training treats, lease walking, recall methods etc.. She also provided us plenty of resources and supplies list to guide us through this journey of 5 weeks training. We now have a Golden who eagerly waits for commands/cues. He no longer chews on our furniture or bite us. He is pretty much disciplined to the point where we can continue working towards the betterment of his actions and his behavior is regularly a delight to watch. We continue to reinforce the methods Julie has shown us. Overall we enjoy him much more now compared to before the training. We owe this pleasure to Julie’s services and this couldn’t have worked out any better without her expertise. Wish we found Julie during the time we brought him home so we could have enjoyed his puppyness much more. He is now a 5 1/2 month old young adorable puppy. Photo explains it all 🙂

Julie Locke is the best dog trainer EVER! She has been working with my giant 7 month old pup for a few months and also my Granddaughter’s dogs! The difference is remarkable!

Julie we cannot thank you enough for changing our beautiful wild Rhodesian Ridgeback into a kind, obedient family member. When we got started I wondered if all the treats were going to work with this high jumping crazy wild dog, but you were 100% right! He now comes when called, sits on command and rides in the truck for outings with us. We set a goal to make it to Home Depot when we got started and this picture is our last day ! Thank you for the friendship we gained thru this experience. We look forward to seeing Aunt Julie on friendship visit terms?love ya!? Frank, Jeri and Tug

I felt that the problem with my dog was near insurmountable. My life and his was always at risk each time that I would take him for a walk. I read reviews and training styles and I opted for New Vistas. I now have a PERFECT dog. My stress and fear are GONE. He is an extremely large dog with a high prey drive. I am very petite. I broke my elbow when he went after prey once. Also he has narrowly missed being hit by cars because of darting to get to something. Julia changed everything. She taught him impulse control and me how to hold the leash for control of such a large dog. She taught me how to give my dog "whiplash". That is to be focused on me on walks. She gets to the point and is effective. My dog is now absolute perfection. Our bond has grown so tight as a result of the training. Next level communication now. Just a look, a little tug on the leash etc and boom we are in total sync. I feel safe again. 100%. Thank you New Vistas, Julia. You changed our lives for the better.

Julie worked with our overly hyper yorkie mix, Mando and made him so much more manageable for us. We honestly contacted her out of desperation because he was just out of control. We now have him contained and Julie taught us ways to release his energy in positive, fun ways for him and us! The difference doesn’t stop there, though. He is much less nervous and more bonded to us now. I highly recommend you contact Julie for your dog training needs, especially if you have a pup that you aren’t quite sure what to do with, like us!

I did an Ask The Trainer session with Julie shortly after getting my Dutch Shepherd puppy, and she was able to help me greatly with answering all my questions and illustrating how to do some of the training over the zoom call. Julie is always great at answering my emails, and she was able to give me awesome advice with a unique issue I had with my Dutch shepherd, and her advice has helped me greatly. Julie is very professional, and reliable, and an awesome dog trainer! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs!

I owe Julie at New Vistas Canine so so so much!! She met my scared-of-people, no-training, 1 year old stray pit bull and taught me how to train him, using 100% force free training (huge plus!) into a doting love-bug best-dog-you-could-ever-have, in just a few weeks to boot!! He is now potty trained, lives well with our cat, and listens to me when I ask him to change his behavior. My favorite trick is being able to use hand signals to get him to move wherever I need him to be (such as away from the cat) without any yelling, just asking. She’s a miracle worker guys!!!! She taught us communication, patience, and perseverance, and I couldn’t have done it without her patience with me and my hectic work schedule. The training sessions were so much fun for me and (especially) gonzo and he’s literally cuddled up with me right now as I write this. Thank you Julie!! Your help means so much to our lil family.

I have 2 rescue dogs that had never been around kids so when I had my first baby I was worried. Julie really helped me set rules and boundaries for my dogs. I now know how to keep my home safe for both my furbabies and my human child. I can’t recommend her enough she truly has a gift.
