- BWBeatrice WilsonNov 7, 20255.0We have had an amazing experience with Lead the Way. We took our puppy in when she was just about 6 months old for the Gold training program and have continued to use Lead the Way for boarding and club days. We saw an instant difference in our dogs obedience within just a few sessions. The trainers are very knowledgeable and willing to talk and assist in any way to make sure you walk away with a great companion.
- JCJames and CarlaOct 21, 20255.0Dakota is a rescue, she came with social problems along with fear and aggression towards people and other dogs. We expressed our concerns with LTW and they addressed them all and she is a different dog today. We would recommend them to anyone for dog training.
- TStina saccoJul 24, 20255.0We can’t say enough good things about Lead the Way Training! The transformation of our golden Tilly in 7 weeks was incredible! Steph and Hannah were both so helpful and made sure we understood what we needed to do at home to continue to help Tilly’s skills stick! If you’re thinking about using them..do it! You won’t regret it. We will be back for more club days!
- SBSarah BowmanMar 9, 20255.0We were referred by a friend to Lead the Way Training and it has truly been the best decision for our rescue pup. All of the trainers are amazing and our dog loves going to “school” at Lead the Way. Not only did she learn quickly—they also helped her work through anxiety (loud noises like trash trucks etc…) and become more confident. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who is looking to help their dog be the best version of themselves! They are true dog lovers and incredibly knowledgeable—we learned so much at every training session.
