Fourteen years ago is when I first met Julie, shortly after I had adopted a very energetic 2yr old female rescue dog whom we named Cora. She came from a rural shelter, had no manners but sweet as pie! Julie at the time was working as a trainer with Pet Smart and boy did I need her help with Cora. I thought that I could train Cora myself but I was proven wrong. Without Julie's help Cora and I would never have become the dynamic Therapy Dog Team that encompassed over 14 yrs. Julie taught me to "read" Cora's body language, walk on a loose leash, distract Cora when needed, good recall, nosework and so much more. Volunteering with Divine Canines Therapy Dog program was something that Julie and I both loved as handlers. Cora and Moby (Julie's boy) were teammates . Later we moved on to Pet Partners, the gold standard of Therapy dogs. It was during that time that Julie decided that she wanted to further her knowledge. I watched her advance level by level to be one of the finest and most trusted dog trainers in Texas. I have referred many dog owners that needed help with their beloved canines to Julie. If anyone can turn a dogs unwanted behavior around, Julie is your person! Julie has operated her own business now for years, training, board and train and even making house calls. Investing in your dogs behavior makes for a happy and safe home.

Julie is awesome! She trained our dogs and me and my husband making possible for me (even though I am disable) to walk my leash aggressive dog whether on my scooter or walking with my cane. Both of my dogs are happier, well behave with us and our dog walkers. I can thank you enough Julie!

We called Julie to get help with our one year old Westie, Pirate. He had learned some basic manners at puppy Kindergarten, but he had developed a habit of barking at people outside and animals on the TV. Julie suggested that we really needed to engage our little guy in activities and games to make him think (and therefore wear him out). She came for five visits or so. To our surprise, she included our 15 year old westie in the activities, as well! Pirate loved the nose challenges and was a pro at “stay around the world”. With practice, he became pretty good at leash walking, too. I remember texting Julie one afternoon to thank her after what was a delightful walk with Pirate. Time to come back, Julie! This new Scottie of ours needs your expertise.

Great training with Lola! She’s becoming a much more confident girl! Thanks so much for your help!

Julie is one of the most honest, sincere and caring people that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She did a FANTASTIC job with my pit mix and my entire family loves her! She not only shows you how to properly handle your dog, she also will provide videos and literature to help reinforce what she has taught you. I have utilized both since my dog has left her care and she has shown REMARKABLE improvement in all areas that were focused on. Julie and New Vistas Canine have my most serious recommendation. Not only will your dog receive the best in training, you will absolutely love Julie!

We had Julie come over to see what we could do with a dog situation in our household. Julie was direct and honest, helping us gain back control. She was able to show us effective training methods for handling our dog who was very reactive to other dogs and humans. She helped us rethink concepts and gave solid reasoning behind her methods. We now have the tools to deal with our dog in unfavorable situations and will continue to use her services in the future. We would highly recommend her!

Julie has been a blessing in disguise. She knows what she’s doing and she makes sure you fully understand the process of how the training is going to help your fur baby. She treats your dog as if they are her own and Julie herself is a very caring woman. If your looking for some training Julie is the woman for the job!!

Julie is a great trainer. Sending my Bernedoodle puppy to a month of boarding and training was a game changer for us. He learned so much!

We are so grateful to have found Julie! We met with 3 trainers and she was by far the best, most experienced and fun. She's all the things you look for in a professional - punctual, great with follow up, sending extra training materials, but it's her - Julie's heart and spirit - that really make the difference. Our golden Emmy is a former show dog who was timid and somewhat shut down when she came to us. Julie helped bring her to life and reminded her how to play. Emmy was very needy as well and Julie helped us set boundaries with her which have made her less anxious. Her approach was encouraging and positive as she trained Emmy (and us)! Julie is qualified to train and certify to be a therapy dog. Emmy has a gentle way about her and with Julie's guidance we are training her toward that goal. Julie was a gift to our family!
