Within 5 minutes of meeting our 6-month- old mixed breeds, she had them paying close attention. Her focus was more on training us to train the dogs. We appreciate that approach and have used it nearly daily to train them. We greatly enjoyed our interactions as did Ben and Jessie. Thanks, Julie!Posted on Erin KleinsmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The training we are getting for our very suborn dog is wonderful.

We brought our German Shepherd, Freya, to Julie for training and boarding, and the experience was amazing. Julie is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. Freya came home calmer, better behaved, and genuinely happy. It’s clear she treats every dog like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for training or boarding they can actually trust!Posted on Ms. RobinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

When should I start training my dog?
You can start training your dog as early as 8 weeks old once they’re comfortable in your home. Early training builds good habits, confidence, and a strong bond. But it’s never too late — puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs can all benefit from training. At Austin Dog Manners, we tailor training to your dog’s age, personality, and your goals so you get results at any stage.
How do I know what is the best program for my dog?
The best training program depends on your dog’s age, temperament, behavior challenges, and your goals. Some dogs need help with basics like manners and leash walking, while others may need support with reactivity, anxiety, or advanced obedience. At Austin Dog Manners, we start with an evaluation to understand your dog and your lifestyle, then create a custom training plan that fits both of you. This way, your dog gets the right level of training for real-life success.
What training methods do you use?
At Austin Dog Manners, we use a balanced training approach, which combines positive reinforcement with clear communication and structure. We reward good behavior with praise, food, toys, and real-life rewards, while also teaching dogs how to understand boundaries and expectations. This method helps dogs learn faster, build confidence, and behave reliably in real-world situations. Every training plan is customized to your dog’s personality, age, and needs to create lasting, respectful results.
How long does dog training take?
Every dog learns at a different pace, so training time depends on your dog’s age, history, and behavior goals. Some dogs show improvement in just a few sessions, while others need ongoing work for lasting results. At Austin Dog Manners, we focus on real-life skills and owner education so progress continues at home between sessions. Consistency and practice are key to long-term success.
Can you help with leash pulling and reactivity?
Yes! Austin Dog Manners specializes in helping dogs improve leash manners and reactive behavior such as barking, lunging, or over-excitement on walks. We teach your dog how to stay calm, focused, and responsive around distractions using a balanced, customized training approach. Training happens in real-life environments so your dog learns practical skills you can use every day, making walks more enjoyable and stress-free.
How many sessions does my dog need?
The number of lessons depends on your dog’s age, behavior challenges, learning speed, and your goals. Some dogs make progress in just a few sessions, while others need ongoing training for lasting change. At Austin Dog Manners, we start with an evaluation and create a custom training plan so you get the right amount of support without wasting time or money. Consistency at home between lessons also plays a big role in success.
