My dog, Harvey and I had been working with a trainer weekly, however we weren't getting the expertise Harvey and our family required. Harvey was starting to have guarding and reactivity issues, so we had to step-up the training. Julie at New Vistas was recommended by a friend, so we called her up for help. After discussing his issues, she provided a very thorough consultation and we opted to move forward with the month-long 'Board and Train' immersive. While we had to wait to get Harvey in, the wait was WELL WORTH IT! The training she provided for Harvey (and us each week) was invaluable. She spent many hours training him at New Vistas, and in various locations engaging with different people to work on his reactivity challenges. While training him, she also equipped us with techniques to better manage him. Julie's training style, professionalism and admiration of dogs is what really sets her apart. We trust her wholeheartedly with our dog, and couldn't recommend her training services more! Thank you Julie!!

I recommend Julie. After a dog attack, I was scared but still wanted a dog to walk and love. She helped me feel more confident dealing with our new rescue. Daizy loves Julie and responded well to Julie’s suggestions. Julie introduced Daizy to odor work/ games that has provided stimulation to engage and drain Daizy’s energy. Daizy also enjoyed boarding with Julie during our last vacation.

Julie was very kind and helpful. We were experienced dog owners and were running out of ideas and tools to help our new puppy become acclimated to his new home. With Julie’s help we were able to build our confidence as owners and give our puppy the atmosphere he needed to grow. Julie was there throughout the whole process and was kind enough to check in with us through text between appointments. If you are looking anywhere else go ahead and book Julie because she will make sure you are 100% satisfied and that you have everything you need to know to succeed with your pets.

My husband and I are both 70 and when we got our male Akita puppy OSO, we knew it was imperative that we properly train him to respond to our commands and socialize with people. Julie with New Vista Canine, thru on site instruction at our home, met all of our expectations and provided the tools necessary to continue our dog’s training as he matures. Julie’s knowledge of large breeds, her ability to immediately bond with OSO, and her willingness to accommodate our desires made the training process easy and enjoyable.

Julie has helped me several times over the years with a few different dogs. She trained my now 10 yr old pitbull as a puppy, just normal stuff like sit and leash walking. A few years ago, that same dog was having issues being reactive on the leash. Julie to the rescue!! She diagnosed the problem and gave me one trick to use, which has worked liked a charm for the last few years. Most recently, my husband rescued a puppy with WAY more energy than we were prepared for. She turned him into such a good doggie citizen. It’s a good thing too, because it was causing some issues! He spent a few weeks in board and train, and then she did some home visits and it’s a whole new world. Our dogs love her, we love her and we always look forward to the progress that comes with each one of her visits. Can’t recommend her enough. In fact, I regularly tell dog owners of misbehaving dogs, “I know someone that could help you!”

Julie did an awesome job with Missy. When we rescued her she hid under the dining room table and wouldn’t eat if we were in the same room with her. Now she is such a happy, well adjusted dog. She loves people, love to play, eats out of your hand. She’s just the sweetest, most loving dog and we owe that to Julie at New Vistad. She is an exceptionally knowledgeable and talented trainer.

Julie did a board and train with our 7 month old puppy. She was great at keeping us up to date and teaching us how to transfer his learning to our home environment with kids. She really focuses on what you want and need from your dog’s behavior and works from there. Our dog is much better behaved since being with Julie.

Julie was great with our Puppy! She gave us great tools to work with our puppy to get her to be much better! Luna is much better after working with Julie.

I read great reviews about Ms.Julie & found her through Google search and decided I should give her service a try. The reviews are spot on. She is the real dog whisperer. My GSD, Zeus was so aggressive when I first asked Ms.Julie Locke for help. Zeus liked Ms.Julie right away on day 1 and was so comfortable around her presence!! And Zeus never does that with anybody else. I had trouble even putting on leash on my dog at first and never listened. With Julie’s help, Zeus is now well behaved and seemed to have matured and now very well mannered. I definitely recommend Ms.Julie Locke for dog training needs. And to correct your fur babies behavior. Whether big or small!! You’ll be very well satisfied with the service 🙂
