Based on what the business publishes about itself
Julia Lang, a Certified Animal Behavior Consultant, runs Apollo Dog Training out of her Georgetown, Texas home. According to her website, she began training after working with her own European Doberman, Apollo, and now serves as a mentor trainer for Animal Behavior College in the Austin area, helping newer trainers develop their skills.
The business describes its approach as force-free and positive-only, with a stated focus on understanding the emotional roots of behavioral issues rather than addressing surface symptoms alone. Their materials indicate that all training relationships start with an in-home consultation to assess each dog's specific situation before work begins. For behavior modification, they list services for reactivity, aggression, anxiety, fear, and phobias.
Board and train programs run 1, 2, or 3 weeks, with dogs staying in Lang's home alongside her own pets. Their site notes that the 3-week option accepts only one client dog at a time, intended for more challenging cases. Private obedience lessons are offered in-home throughout the Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown areas, with sessions led by Lang or obedience trainer Taylor R. The business also provides pet sitting, including options they describe as accommodating multi-dog households and dogs with aggression issues.
Board and train programs run from 1 to 3 weeks, with the longest option limited to one client at a time and focused on aggression and leash reactivity. Apollo Dog Training also offers in-home and private obedience sessions with three different trainers, each priced separately. All ages and breeds are welcome for the sessions with Ashlee K.
