Why Choose Lead the Way K9
Josh and Brittany started Lead the Way over 10 years ago and are still there every day—it’s very much a hands-on family operation. One of the things Powell families appreciate most is our evaluation process. Every new dog spends time with us before ever joining a boarding stay or daycare group, so we can get a real sense of who they are and set them up for a great experience. We also keep our social pages updated with real photos and videos from our property—no stock images, just real days at Lead the Way—so you know exactly what to expect before you visit.

TOP-NOTCH FACILITIES AND EXCEPTIONAL STAFF
Michael brought Mr. Cade to Lead the Way for training and ongoing daycare and was blown away by the experience. The facilities are the best he’s ever seen—clean and top-notch—and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of service provided.
What made the difference? The incredible staff and the peace of mind that comes with having training as part of their services. This combination gives Michael confidence in how Lead the Way handles varying dog types and personalities. After going through training with Lead the Way, Michael is certain there’s no other place he would take Mr. Cade.
