Bend and surround area:  Julie was raised around animals and has always known she would have a career with animals. She contacted OLK9 to train her rescue Dutch Shepherd, June, who was out of control! June was a runner with no recall, extremely hyper and became destructive. Julie elected the 2 week board and train program and drove June to Salem for the drop off and pick up. Julie was amazed that June was a completely different dog from two weeks prior. More confidence, not as bouncy, no more jumping on people, and, how eager June was to please. She just needed a job and OLK9 training gave her the mental outlet she needed. Julie realized the need for this level of training was missing in Bend, thus she contacted the owners, Bruce and Trish Fuller in Portland, and requested to join our family of trainers in 2017.
