Julie is a very compassionate, knowledgable, professional and conscientious dog & horse lover and trainer. She has many years of experience and knows what our four-legged children want & need in order to live a happy, healthy life. I cannot say enough nice things about Julie and her skills. You won't be disappointed.

Julie Locke at New Vistas Canine is absolutely amazing! She is truly a dog whisperer. We have a 7 month old lab puppy, Freya, who, thanks to Julie, has become the worlds best family dog! Julie not only trained Freya, she gave us the tools and commands we needed in order to communicate with and redirect Freya in a constructive way. We now interact with our dog in a much more positive way that benefits us AND the dog. Since we've brought Freya home from being with Julie, things have just been getting better and better! Julie and New Vistas Canine KNOWS DOGS! She is a wonderful person, great to work with, gets the job done, sends regular updates, offers ongoing support - she's the best.

Julie was great to work with. Dependable, on time, professional. My chocolate lab pup went from an uncontrollable mess to a calm, respectful dog in a few weeks. We went for a walk on the street today and we did great, an Impossibility just a few weeks ago!

We did the board and train program with Julie for our German Shepard Pup, Luna (pictured). Julie kept us updated the whole time, and every week when we went there for training and updates, Luna had made a lot of progress. Even though we haven’t kept up with the training since then as well as we should have, Luna still walks loose leash like a champ. She knows when we go on a walk, there is no barking at other dogs, she stays on the left and is focused on me. 1000% recommend training with Julie, she is awesome and truly cares about the progress of your pup!

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.

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.
