| Thank you for all your help with Marly we really enjoyed today I was amazed by your training methods. I am looking forward to putting your training tools to use and we are finding they are already working. I am so proud of our boy and have realised he can be trained if we put in the work and not giving him mixed messages and give him positive energy outlets. I would be happy to recommend you to other dog lovers who want a positive, nurturing and kind approach to dog obedience. Look forward to keeping in touch.

| Hi all I am writing to let you all know of our experience with Julie and the Nutts About Mutts training team.
We have Zeus who is a beautiful 1 year old Rottweiler. We are a family of 4 with children aged 16 and 14, I have MS which is quite challenging at times. Zeus did 3 puppy classes the first one at our local vet who put us on to Nutts About Mutts as they knew our unique situation. We chose to go with Nutts About Mutts training as it was positive training methods and small class sizes. We signed up immediately for the Intermediate and then the Advanced Classes. Zeus, my Husband and my kids thoroughly enjoyed the classes. I can't say enough about how wonderful Julie and her team are in the way she interacts with both the dogs and owners. Our family has enjoyed the classes immensely. Julie is a wonderful teacher and has helped us achieve our goals. I can proudly say that our wonderful dog Zeus is now both a graduate of all of the Nutts About Mutts classes. Julie was instrumental in Zeus achieving the highest Honour of a CGC dog (canine good citizen award) of which he proudly shows off his collar and lead for this achievement , I know without the help and training classes that we would probably never have achieved such a wonderful honour. Thank you Julie so much. Sam and The Spence family both Human and Furry |

| My Bull Terrier Charlie has done –Puppy, Basic & Intermediate Classes With Nutts About Mutts. I have found these classes to be very useful in all areas of her training.
I have been given the knowledge and skills to help Charlie become a well mannered and social young dog. I really enjoyed the small groups and having inside training areas. Julie is a very good teacher who really knows her stuff. Having an Accredited trainer is a real bonus! This is my first dog i have had trained with Positive Reinforcement and I highly recommend it. Charlie & I both thank you for all your help. Cheryl & Charlie Leathers Mannum |

| You could not want for a more committed dog trainer than Julie. The class sizes were such that one on one tuition for individual training issues were possible without compromising the rest of the training for other participants. The training was fun and massively beneficial. Julie has a wealth of knowledge and experience with dogs and their behaviour certainly benefited from the style of training that was delivered.

| I am just so thrilled to have found such a wonderful environment to bring our child up in. Dog school has been the highlight of our week, we are sad that it's over. Our family is so lucky to have had the opportunity of learning the skills needed to raise our boy to be a beautiful member of society. We still catch up with Julie and our class mates at Nutts about Mutts Social Functions. Thanks Julie, Benny is a social and well adjusted dog.

| I combined my training both with classes & home consults. I found it a good combination because the home consults assisted me with the trainer being able to see my puppy in his home environment in order to make recommendations that helped. I also have an older dog so the home consults really helped with ensuring both of my dog's needs were met. The classes were great because they provided opportunity for my puppy to have social interaction while learning & we formed friendships with people we attended classes with who we now arrange to meet at the dog park for social gatherings.
This was such a fun way of training as the dog has opportunity to really work their mind & with the positive reinforcement methods is all hands off no matter the size of your dog. I found this method much easier to manage than other types of training I've attended in the past. I wanted to stay away from traditional training methods that tended to be very hands on with pushing or pulling your dog into position. I also did not want to use a choke chain to manage my dog. I would never go back to that method of training having now experienced positive reinforcement methods. I also found by using the positive reinforcement methods it has really helped to encourage a strong bond with my puppy compared to other types training I've attended in the past. Because training was so much fun with Nutts About Mutts my puppy couldn't get enough of it, so much so we continued all the way through to graduate in basics, intermediate & advanced classes. Was piece of mind with an Accredited & Qualified instructor because the knowledge & study involved to obtain this status is quite involved & to remain accredited also means ongoing study/knowledge. The instructor was very approachable & helpful, I felt with the smaller class sizes gave us a lot of individual support & assistance which really provided us with reassurance & confidence. The large indoor venue was great also, particularly in winter. Now that we have graduated in advanced classes we now look forward to the social events Nutts About Mutts organise for their clients as we can catch up with people we attended classes with & our dogs enjoy the day out socialising & having a great time with other dogs.

As we live in country South Australia we were very restricted in finding professional support to help us with our 2 Labrador girls Ruby and Bella however Julie went above and beyond to ensure we could still recieve a service. She travelled to us for a consultation and her pricing was more than reasonable. We were introduced to positive reinforcement training and we have not looked back since. Our girls have just thrived with training, especially Bella who we adopted around 12 months ago. The training has helped us to establish a bond with her and look beyond her anxiety related behaviours. Importantly Julie not only focuses on the strengths of the dogs but also the strengths of the humans by providing an empathetic and non-judgemental service. The continual support that we recieve from Nutts about Mutts is just amazing. Bec & wade Seal with Bella and Ruby. Kadina, Rural South Australia |
