Phoebe’s Training Journey
Dog Name: Phoebe
Program: Adult Dog Training (Board and Train)
Location: Dublin, OH
Completed: 2024
REMARKABLE IMPULSE CONTROL AND BEHAVIORAL TRANSFORMATION
Andrew brought Phoebe to Lead the Way for board and train and experienced noticeable results in how well she responds to commands and impulse control. After completing the program, Phoebe can handle distractions with minimal reaction even during times of stress—knocking, loud noises, doorbell rings, and more.
What made the difference? Josh and Brittany equipped Andrew with effective tools like the e-collar and prong collar for continued training success. These tools allow Andrew to command Phoebe even off-leash and provide instant correction when needed. The results have been so impressive that Andrew now brings Phoebe to Lead the Way’s daycare occasionally, where she enjoys playtime with friends and always comes home clean—a noticeable difference from other facilities they’ve tried.
“Phoebe loves going to Lead The Way! We completed the board & train program a few months ago. After she completed the program, we realized noticeable results in how well she responds to commands and better impulse control. We are able to put distractions in front of Phoebe and we get very little reaction under times of craziness/stress (knocking, loud noises, doorbell rings, etc).
Josh and Brittany gave us great tools to use when continuing to train Phoebe and are always available for additional support. The e-collar and prong collar are great tools, especially when we introduce Phoebe to new or potentially disruptive environments. We originally thought we shouldn’t use the prong collar, but they assured us that it was a productive and non-harmful tool to train Phoebe. We use it on every walk we go on and it is actually very enjoyable to walk a dog that doesn’t pull or drag you along. In addition, the e-collar provides the opportunity to command Phoebe (sometimes even off leash- see my video of the deer in our yard and Phoebe staying calm/ collective!) and provide instant correction when needed. Very happy with the results of the training program.
We also take Phoebe to daycare occasionally. She enjoys the play time with her friends. I personally noticed how clean she is when we pick her up from Lead the Way daycare. We have tried other places for day care, and we often pick up Phoebe and she is noticeably dirty/grime-ey. Overall very pleased and excited to have chosen Lead the Way.”
