Reviews
Julie and her team are great! We couldn’t be happier with their approach to training and the results. We’re excited to continue working with them.
We turned to Dog’s Play when we needed help with our 1-year-old puppy who had been traumatized by fights with our older dog and needed help preparing for the transition into a new home. She did the board-and-train program at Dog’s Play for about a month, and in that time, she became so much more confident and less fearful of new dogs, people, and places. Now she has been adopted and is doing fantastic in her new home! She is well behaved and quickly adjusting to her new environment, thanks to the skills she learned at Dog’s Play. We are so grateful to Julie and her team for being so understanding of our situation, communicating with us regularly about our dog’s progress, and helping us get her into a better home. We HIGHLY recommend Dog’s Play to anyone looking for effective, compassionate training and boarding for their dogs! The photo included in this review shows just how happy our pup was during her time at Dog’s Play. ❤️
I’ve been training my dog as a Service Dog at Dogs Play. Training is very compassionate for the dogs. Julie Hughes is a master trainer who is very skilled at problematic behavior and Service Dog training. I’m very happy with Dog’s Play in Archer. Julie also has many classes out in the community, which is helpful for Service Dog training.
Thank you to Julie and her crew for empowering me with knowledge and a plan to help my boy with his confidence. What sets Julie apart is her genuine commitment to building the confidence of both the dog and the pet parent. My pup, has been struggling with anxiety and fear especially after being terribly attacked by a dog (which resulted in over 30 staples) and then one month later, losing his sibling Abby, who was like his emotional support dog, to cancer. We live over 2 hours away so we scheduled a few sessions with Julie over a 2 day period. At our last session, my pup got to meet Julie’s helper dog, Daisy. I was worried how my boy would react. Sure enough when Daisy came in, his tail was tucked, he was trembling with fear and headed for the door. But with Julie’s guidance, my pup actually relaxed enough to meet Daisy and even play a little within 10 minutes!! I had tears in my eyes. We still have work to do but the hope and confidence Julie gave me is priceless! (I didn’t take the best pictures but trust me, my boy (pointer/lab mix) was actually playing in these)
Julie is great we have a Labradoodle that is chaotic to put it mildly. She worked with him for about 6 months and he is the best dog we could hope for. He listens to commands, is obedient and loves to see her when we board him. I highly recommend Julie as a trainer, she genuinely loves all the animals she works with.
