I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Julie. My Dachshund, Daisy, had a real habit of pulling on the leash and needed a lot of help with her basic manners. Julie was so patient and focused entirely on positive reinforcement, which was really important. Julie is deeply knowledgeable and she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Daisy is a different dog on the leash now! If you're looking for a kind, effective trainer, look no further. I highly recommend!!!

We had an amazing experience with Julie and can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly understands dog behavior. We originally reached out for help with resource guarding, but ended up learning so much more than we ever expected. Her guidance has made a world of difference for our dog and for us as pet parents/guardians. We’re so grateful for her expertise and thoughtful approach. Our dog is not as anxious and is happy as well.

Julie was a wonderful trainer and our puppy Wally was able to progress so much with fears, loose leash walking, many commands all in just 8 weeks of training.

Julie was a joy to work with! She is so knowledgeable and helped make the training process with our new puppy very easy.We were impressed by her follow up too, she always gave us a recap of each training lesson and suggestions for ‘homework’ on how best to work with our new puppy based on our family’s needs and environment.

We recently got a Chihuahua terrier mix from the Humane Society who had a lot of reactivity issues. We had tried another trainer briefly that did not work out so I did my research and turned to Julie with Kaleidoscope.Julie has been absolutely amazing to work with. She is very responsible and reliable and clearly knows her stuff. She is gentle in her approach yet firm in her boundaries and our dog Soba absolutely loves her and loves training. The training has also helped my relationship and confidence with Soba.I could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone!Soba is a happy and well adjusted dog now and we are all doing great! 😊

Awesome with my puppy! I was struggling even getting my dog to walk and Julie was able to help! She was alsoable to help with the fact that my pup did not like his harnesses, leashes, or collars and we where able to figure out what worked for him. Thank you! She gives you an online portal and homework that you can use even after training!

We just finished our in-home 10-week training with Julie. We are a retired couple who have not had a puppy for 12 years. Needless to say, it wasn’t only our little Pippa that needed training. Julie is very knowledgeable and thorough and provided videos and material after each session to help us with the lesson of the week. We learned that socialization with a puppy is not just meeting people and going for walks. It’s everyday experiences that may seem like nothing to us, but can be overwhelming to a puppy. Thank you, Julie, for opening our eyes. We highly recommend your services.

Julie is highly skilled and knowledgeable in training. She is responsive, and understands the challenges that are involved with training a puppy. We completed the private in home puppy class, and learned the foundations we needed. When we adopted our puppy she was ill, and lost some time socializing in the community. We continue to foster that process, with new health challenges of neurological disorder, that Dorothy faces.We are so grateful for Julie’s direction, and will continue “our” learning process , as Dorothy can tolerate.

We were at a breaking point with our 2-year-old cockapoo, Pearl, when we reached out to Julie. Although Pearl is generally loving and very smart, she would become reactive and even bite us when we tried to brush her teeth, clip her nails, and engage in other critical grooming and handling tasks. Other problem behaviors included barking at passersby and jumping up on visitors. What Pearl needed was positive reinforcement behavioral training in cooperative care (handling and grooming) and impulse control. We signed up for six in-home sessions and were impressed by Julie's organization and professionalism and her ability to bond with Pearl immediately. Julie provided lesson materials and helpful videos for the weekly topics and sent weekly reports following each session that summarized the topics covered and the behaviors we needed to work on that week. After six sessions with Julie and working with Pearl on a daily basis we have noticed a huge change in Pearl’s behavior: She is calmer, is gradually becoming more open to basic grooming tasks, enjoys training and playing games with us, and most importantly, has learned to trust us. We're working on the barking and jumping up, but the behaviors are becoming less frequent. We’re confident that the knowledge and tools Julie provided will make us better dog guardians now that we know what Pearl needs. Many thanks, Julie!

Julie was the best trainer I could have asked for. She was patient kind and caring for both me and my dog. I had a lot of different things that I wanted to work on with my dog from riding in car to basic manners to separation anxiety. Julie laid out our lessons where each one added on to the next and started slow but my dog learned each one quickly and easily. It is all positive training with rewards and never any punishment for the dog. She gave me all the lessons and videos to keep working on. She definitely knows “dog language “ I highly recommend her to anyone who wants some help with their dog Thank you so much Julie

It has been wonderful working with Julie on some additional training for our 4 year old dog, Rainey! She is extremely responsive, punctual, professional, helpful, friendly, intelligent, and passionate about what she does. We absolutely recommend working with her for dog training. We've seen amazing improvements with our dog and now have the tools and knowledge to continue strengthening what she's learned. Thank you, Julie!

Julie is the real deal. She is thorough and patient as she teaches you how to work with your dog for the long term. She teaches not only the "what," but also the "why." After a 10 week, in home puppy course, we will certainly be coming back for more.

I came to Julie with my 5 year old dog that had developed awful habits that I let slide for years. Working with Julie has really transformed these behaviors, as well as my relationship with him. Don't be discouraged if you have an older dog that needs training! While the training on our end is far from over, Julie has provided me with the tools and guidance I need to continue working with him.

Julie is an outstanding trainer and a true professional. She makes dog training enjoyable and engaging. She excels at working with behavior modification cases. I highly recommend Kalaeidoscope Dog Services for your dog training needs.

Julie is definitely not someone you will regret choosing, if you are considering different options of dog trainers. She is professional, responsive, and you can tell she takes her time to create specific personal plans for every different pet and tailored to what you’re wanting, behavior wise, in your dog. She is just the right amount of direct that my husband and I needed to not just train our pup, Muffin, but train us on how to be able to be successful moving forward on our own. Also, she just obviously loves animals and what she does. Strong recommendation. Thanks, Julie!

Julie is a highly professional and knowledgeable dog trainer! Her insights have been invaluable in the early training of our very high-energy labradoodle puppy. Julie provides a complete package by assessing the developmental stage of the puppy and provides a course of training activities designed to achieve quick behavioral improvements. We were amazed at her insights. The professional package she provided, and her wealth of information were perfect for our private, in home, training sessions. Her passion for creating a positive environment for her clients and their dogs was always a top priority. She has made such a positive difference in our lives! We are more confident and calmer– thanks to Julie. What a wonderful, positive force for dogs and their families!We highly recommend Julie to anyone! She made all the difference in guiding us through the transition from out-of-control puppy to calm and confident.

Julie is AMAZING!! We came to Julie with our year old deaf and partially blind Aussie doodle. We had no idea how to properly train her, but Julie knew exactly what to do. We are now able to communicate with our pup via visual cues and touch - all positive reinforcement based. 100% recommend!

Our Maltese was a wild child. Didn’t want to listen, constantly chewing on everything, barking and swallowing things he shouldn’t. Julie’s training of him and us has completely transformed him into a puppy that is more respectful of his boundaries. There is still more to work to be done, but the methods Julie has taught us will allow us to build on the current progress.

2025-06-12T01:51:02.947Z

We absolutely loved working with Julie! She was incredibly helpful in teaching our dog Mia manners and in teaching us the skills to handle her reactivity. Her teaching methods made training fun for all of us!
