Kodi’s Training Journey
Dog Name: Kodi
Program: Adult Dog Training
Location: Columbus, OH
Completed: December 2024
A Spectacular Training Experience
Jeremy brought Kodi to Lead the Way for adult dog training and found the experience exceeded expectations. Kodi was cared for and happy throughout her learning trip, thriving in the immaculate facilities with top-notch staff.
What made the difference? The trainers didn’t just work with Kodi—they trained Jeremy and his family to be effective trainers themselves, ensuring lasting results. The experience was so positive that Jeremy plans to use Lead the Way’s boarding services in the future.
“Just got back from the adult Dog Training and it was a spectacular experience. The place and people at Lead the Way are all top notch. We can tell our Kodi was cared for and happy on her learning trip. The facilies were immaculate and the trainers were very helpful training us to be the next trainers. Would recommend enthusiastically! Will likely board in the future.”
