My dog, Harvey and I had been working with a trainer weekly, however we weren't getting the…read moreexpertise 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 have worked extensively with Julie with multiple dogs. The first, Jinx, was an older rescue dog…read morewe got for my elderly father-in-law. The dog was afraid of everything. She was also a runner and escaped every chance she got. Within a few sessions this dog had totally changed. She's bright, energetic and happy. And we can let her off leash and not worry about her bolting from us. However, more personal to me are my 4 rescue dogs. Over the summer I added a 4th dog, Tiffany, and that totally changed the dynamic of my household. After a few sessions with the group as a whole Tiffany spent the month of December boarded with Julie. This was the game changer. We honestly didn't know if Tiffany would make it past day 1 because she was so attached to me. After her daily sessions with Julie she was a new dog. She's confident to be alone, plays well with the other dogs and is the sweetest thing ever. I truly believe Julie made this happen for us and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for training for their dogs from potty training, walking loosely on leash, stay commands, come, fearfulness, you name it and she does it. You won't be disappointed!!! And your dogs will be so much happier after working with her.

We went to the park with my daughters new Corgi pup for an extreme sniff a walk. Willa did such a great job meeting the new pup and pack walking with this sweet puppy yapping in her face asking if she wants to play!! We finished our day going to Hat Creek and having lunch on the patio. Being on the patio made Willa Bee a bit nervous with all the kid and environmental sounds. It was difficult for her to "leave it" with all the food crumbs on the floor. This outing certainly showed me areas that we need to work on. None of this would be possible without Copilot Academy/Ashley three months ago. Thank you so much! We've come a long way baby!!! But, we still have a ways to go! We will get there! We've got our road map in hand!!

We were completely amazed with the progress he made during his stay; all of his habits we'd hope to break and the new ones we hoped he'd gain (jumping up on visitors, begging, off-leash training, walking, fetch, recall, sit, stay, lay down, go to your bed, and so many more) far exceeded our expectations. She not only did an amazing job with his training but also including him as her family, and introducing him to several different environments that we never expected. She introduced him to children, strangers, dogs, and cats. I can't speak highly enough of the training Diezel received during his stay with Katie and her family. We will always hold our dogs to this standard now and will definitely be using Katie for our future pups. My husband and I couldn't ask for a better dog, thanks to Katie and her ability to bring out the best in him.

Penelope got to interact with other puppies and people and got the socialization that's so important as a puppy. While Penelope thought she was just playing she was actually learning at the same time - sit, down, leave it, walk on loose lead, stay, and even learned about not jumping on people. All the dog owners reinforce training even when the puppies are on off leash play time. Katie's classes are a very relaxed learning environment with Katie's extended knowledge to help with problem issues. I can not recommend these puppy classes any higher for anyone with a new puppy.

When I called and asked if I was speaking to the owner to address her erratic driving, she said "I don't know it depends what do you want."

Mark was suggested to us by another trainer in the area, and I think it speaks volumes to his skill that other trainers think of him.

He does his utmost to identify the individual strengths and weaknesses for our pups, and helps us acquire the long term tools that we need to continue to lead them. It's obvious that he genuinely cares about our dogs as if they were his own, and he truly lights up when he's working with them. We'd also like to give a shoutout to Mark's son, who helps out with training and showed such great affection for our pups.

These services include things such as annual shots, nail trim, and spaying/neuturing. In my experience, it's better to go later on a weekday. If you go early or on Saturday, there is an extended wait time. Upon arrival, you check in at the front desk and receive a text of the waitlist. When it is close to your pet being called, another text is sent and you have 30 minutes to get back to Emancipet. All of the workers are very nice and handle your pets with care. They are very knowledgeable and gentle. I have a chihuahua that has to be muzzled because of his anxiety and they always seem to calm him before servicing him. I highly recommend Emancipet if you don't mind waiting.
