WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
“Brittany at Lead The Way K9 Training did the absolute impossible for our two Golden Doodles Maxwell (9) and Zoe (2). Not only did Brittany train our dogs so much better than we could have ever imagined, she took plenty of time to train us, so we were able to keep up with what she had done. I would recommend Brittany to anyone looking to train their dogs whether a puppy, or an older more stubborn dog like our Maxwell.”
After almost a week at home, Molly is doing great! It’s such a pleasure to go for a walk with no pulling and no jerking off to the side. She’s handled all our neighborhood distractions really well. When the neighbors Jack Russel goes crazy barking Molly just sits and watches him. Thanks for all your hard work Brittany and Josh!
We are so thankful for everything that Brittany did with our nuggets! They are so much calmer now and we are all so much less stressed when taking walks, going to the pet store and even to the dog park. They know how to stay calm and pay attention to us now instead of other dogs and people (distractions)! Even when we’re at home they understand that being inside is the time to be calm and staying in “place” can help them achieve that. Thank you, Brittany! You are wonderful.
We have had a fantastic experience for training, boarding and daycare at Lead the Way! Our pup, Luna, can be a bit of a wild child, but Lead the Way was able to place her with other dogs that have similar play styles, and she has been happily attending daycare ever since! The pictures say it all! Highly recommend. Thanks, Lead the Way!!
Our dog Indigo did the 2 week board and train program with Lead the Way and we have seen such a huge improvement in his demeanor, especially around other dogs. They were super kind and communicative with us while he was there, and we loved seeing all the photos and videos of him!
Fantastic in a word. First call til check out. You can tell each and every person treats and feel like this is their career or calling. Truly top notch. I would recommend strangers and the closest family members.
The BEST experience! From the very first phone call to the day I picked up Annie the communication, flexibility, support, education, etc was all amazing! Annie also got groomed prior to pick up from her board and train and she looked and smelled amazing. Highly recommend grooming too! Can’t say enough wonderful things about Lead the Way K9!
My golden retriever Jackson absolutely loves staying at Lead the Way. Josh has always been able to accommodate my schedule, and even sends pictures of Jackson during his stay. I can’t say enough how much we have enjoyed Lead The Way, and I highly recommend it. We have never had a single problem.
We took our 6 month old puppy to LTW for their 2 week boarding and training program. He is a stubborn boy and they worked so hard to make sure he received the training he needed. They even offered to keep him longer to make sure he caught on. He has since been back for boarding and they continue to work with him. I feel like they really care about his wellbeing and happiness, and really got to know his personality so they can give him the best care possible. We will continue to go back!
We had an amazing experience with Lead the Way. We did a two week board and train when our puppy was 7 months old. He came home a totally different (in a good way!) dog. He is much easier on walks and sleeps significantly better than before. We have since boarded him there and it always is a positive experience.
