“We first met Julie as the instructor in a training class for our Vizsla puppy, Ruby. Julie worked wonders with our very active and overly friendly dog – she has a gentle, firm way of training that dogs really respond to. Like most dog owners, we think of our puppy as part of the family and we’ve never felt comfortable leaving her in a kennel. Thanks to Julie’s excellent boarding facility and care, we’ve never had to. Ruby loves to spend time there with Julie’s dog, Harley, and she almost seems sad when it’s time to go! She comes home happily exhausted and better mannered than when we dropped her off.”

“We got Bella at 6 weeks old as a sweet little puppy. As time went by, it was clear that our sweet little puppy was a bit out of control. We signed Bella up for the Board & Train program and we couldn’t be happier! Bella is now an amazingly well behaved dog; we are so happy that Julie helped her and us! Now, we bring Bella to the Dog Ranch to board whenever we travel. Bella loves it so much that as we drive down the road, when she sees where we’re going, she tries to jump right out of the car window to get there faster!”

“We absolutely loved the care you gave to our little guy, Bernie. It was the very first time we had ever left any of our dogs and gone away and we knew right away we found the best. When we returned to find a happy, healthy, clean and well-adjusted dog, we knew we found him a home-away- from-home.”

“Our dog Baxter has been a guest at the Excellent Canine. What we like about their boarding facility is that the dogs get to be outside all day, in the fresh air getting exercise – unlike other facilities where they are kept in a crate for most of the day. Julie truly cares about the animals she works with!”

“It is so important for us to know that we can s safely leave Humphrey in your experienced care. He’s got furry friends and the space to move around but most important we feel that our very loved Humphrey is safe and happy. It is wonderful to know that if we get to go on a retreat, Humphrey does too.”

“Thanks for showing us around your place on Saturday, it was fun! Phil and I feel comfortable to leave our precious Molly with you! Just make sure you tell Harley not to break her heart, I know he gets a lot of girls staying the night and all!”

“Athena is my special Shepherd mix that adopted from a local shelter. She has proven to be full of spirit, love, and multiple behavior problems. Julie helped me to better understand the needs of my new dog through 1:1 training sessions. Julie and the Excellent Canine staff have the training, ability, and patience to work effectively and safely with Athena when I am on vacation. In fact, Athena’s anxiety appears to decrease significantly after a stay at “The Ranch”, and she wags her tail as soon as she knows that she is near the site. I feel very comfortable leaving her there, as this is the first time I have been
willing to board one of my pets. Thank you Julie and the Excellent Canine staff for taking such great care of Miss Athena!”
