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 🙂

Julie really understands a dog’s mind. She helped us with our two rowdy Shepherds, both with behavior and teaching them nose work. She observed them, and us, closely and then gave advice that was spot on. She is a great encourager of both dogs and people. Our dogs absolutely adore her and so do we. She’s the best trainer I’ve ever seen.

I called Julie out of pure desperation after adopting an older dog for my father-in-law (Jinx). She was in shock, shut down, shaking and scared of the entire world. She had a history of running away (she can open doors) and ran away twice in the first week we had her. Julie came to our rescue. She worked with Jinx (and us!) to help her find her footing in her new home. It was not an overnight success but after the first meeting I could tell a big difference. She started gaining confidence and giving trust. And it just kept getting better. It was just a great experience and I'm so glad we didn't give up on this sweet girl. Julie, I can report now that when Junior takes here to the door she sits and waits for him until it's time to go for her walk!! Thank you so much! You have made such an impact in our lives!

My little pupperoo, Pico, was in need of some help... He liked to rip things to shreds, including art we had hanging on the walls, when we were away. After losing my second pair of shoes to those chompers... we found Julie. THANKFULLY!!!!!! He went away for a couple weeks (felt like a year, no doubt) but came back a responsible dog who, to this day, is the most obedient and happy creature I know. Instead of insecurity and fear when we leave, he now is able to cope. He is a beautiful, wonderful dog at heart, but we owe so much to Julie for helping him be OK with being alone - she not only trained Pico, but also helped train my husband and I to best understand him - believe me, training us was half the battle! I would highly recommend her services - big problems, little problems - Julie will have you covered!
