Why Makes Lead the Way K9 Training & Boarding Different
We hear it all the time from our clients—handing your dog over to someone else is hard. At Lead the Way, we take the trust our clients put in us seriously. We’re known for our communication and flexibility, and we send photos every single visit so you can see exactly what your pup is up to (and how much fun they’re having!). We’ve built something here that dogs genuinely love coming back to, and our reviews reflect that. A lot of our Lewis Center clients started with our board and train program and have been coming back for boarding, daycare, and grooming ever since.
Our Main Services in Lewis Center, OH
Dog Training
Dog training in Lewis Center that produces results you’ll notice right away. After our 2-week board and train, clients tell us their dogs are calmer and overall better behaved. We also offer a 7-day puppy program for younger dogs just getting started. Either way, we don’t just train your dog—we teach you what you need to know to keep the progress going at home so you’re set up for success with a confident and well-behaved dog.
Dog Boarding
What better place for dog boarding in Lewis Center than on our beautiful 5-acre property? Every dog gets outdoor time, a daily routine they genuinely enjoy, and plenty of love from our team. We send photos throughout their stay so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing. Had a jittery or anxious dog before and been nervous to board them? We hear that a lot, and we’re really proud of how comfortable even nervous dogs feel here.
DoGGY DAYCARE
Dog daycare in Lewis Center where your dog comes home clean—something our clients notice every single time! Your pup spends the day outside on our property with dogs that are a great match for them, supervised by a team that knows them by name. We send photos throughout the day, and you’ll pick up a happy, tired dog at the end of it. Once you see the difference, it’s hard to go anywhere else!
Grooming
Professional dog grooming in Lewis Center starting at $80. Our clients love adding a groom onto a boarding stay—their dogs come home looking amazing and smelling great. We offer baths, haircuts, nail trims, ear cleaning, and deshedding, and we send before-and-after photos every visit. Your dog also gets outdoor playtime before and after their appointment so they’re ready to relax when you pick them up!

Luna’s Training Journey
Dog Name: Luna
Program: Puppy Training, Boarding & Daycare
Location: Lewis Center, OH
Completed: 2024
A PERFECT MATCH FOR A HIGH-ENERGY PUP
Mandy brought Luna to Lead the Way for training, boarding, and daycare services and found the experience fantastic. Luna has a spirited, high-energy personality, but Lead the Way was able to match her with other dogs that have similar play styles, creating the perfect environment for her to thrive.
Lead the Way’s ability to understand Luna’s unique temperament and pair her with compatible playmates has kept her happily attending daycare ever since. The team’s expertise in training, combined with their attentive boarding and daycare services, has provided Mandy with complete peace of mind. As Mandy says, “The pictures say it all!”
“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!!
