Testimonials
“Julie has been such a blessing to our family. Before her we had very little control of our Cane Corso. We went from a puppy that was running the show to a puppy that is apart of the show. Julie was able to give us the tools to control every situation from play bite to walking on leash, even making sure our kids felt comfortable with him. Now whenever we take him places we receive compliments for his behavior. I recommend everyone in need of training to Serenity Pet. We are forever grateful for her and so glad our paths crossed.”
– Melissa Anderson
“Julie is the absolute best! We recently got a puppy and she has helped us so much. Before we got her, she sent me a list of her favorite things and puppy must haves. She came over days after we got her to meet her, answer our questions, and give us some tips & tricks. She has eased our minds and given us such a confidence in being new dog owners already. We can’t wait for more training with Julie as our puppy grows older. Cannot recommend her enough.”
– Katie Fields
“We had a wonderful experience boarding and training our 7-month old Wirehaired Pointer with Julie. Despite our daily runs, our puppy was pulling and biting at the leash and often tripping me. When she returned home, she was loose-leash trained- heeling and sitting when I stopped and no longer pulling. Julie walked me through what she had done with our dog, Mouse, so that I would be equipped to continue her training at home. She worked on “place” and “leave it,” which has been extremely helpful in our daily lives with our three young children. Mouse also came back no longer jumping when a guest arrives. I am thankful we used her for training and will not hesitate to use her again. It was well worth the investment in having a dog that I enjoy to be around!”

About the Trainer
Serenity Pet: Training and Behavior Solutions offers personalized dog training programs focused on building strong, positive relationships between dogs and their owners. They provide compassionate, results-driven training with a mission to create a harmonious environment where both dogs and owners can thrive.
The business offers various services including Board & Train programs, In-Home Training Packages, and specialized Off-Leash Reliability training. They emphasize personalized plans tailored to each dog’s unique personality, needs, and goals, using a combination of positive and customized training methods.
A key advantage is their Board & Train program, where dogs are treated as family members while staying in the trainer’s home, with only a couple of dogs scheduled at a time for exclusive attention. They consider a dog’s physical, mental, emotional, and social needs essential to training. Serenity Pet also provides ongoing support to owners to ensure long-term success and reinforcement of training in daily life.
