Positive Reinforcement
dog training
Dogs are members of the family. We respect who they are. We help you and your dog be better together.
Spot On K9 Sports dog training helps your dog succeed, whether you’re dreaming of a family companion or a performance champion.
Obedience
From puppies to seniors, Julia can help you and your dog communicate better so you can enjoy life together. She can help you with potty training, destructive chewing, jumping up, pulling on leash, come when called, countersurfing, and much more.
Reactive Rover
Do you dread walking your dog on leash and seeing another dog? Do you plan walks for when no one else is around? Julia specializes in helping reactive dogs and their people be more connected and less stressed. You can enjoy being out in public with your dog!
Individual, one-on-one Help
Private Training
Some dogs learn best one-on-one or need help with behaviors at home. Private training is customized and convenient to your schedule. In-home training packages available.
