Tail Wags From Previous Clients

“Julie Sharp is a gem! When I adopted a very chaotic 15-month-old herding mutt, I didn't have the tools to communicate effectively with him. Working with Julie was a wonderful experience! She gave me those tools to help Chaos. Thanks to her instruction, Chaos overcame his challenges. Highly recommended!” –Brian & Chaos

“Julie helped us train our rescue, and I'm so grateful. Not only did she help us teach basic behaviors to our pup and handle reactivity, but she also helped us build a happier and stronger relationship with our dog. We still use the skills she taught us for clicker training, too. Thanks Julie!” –El & Peridot
