“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).”
–Andrew Rus
“Lead the Way K9 is nothing short of amazing! Both of our dogs went through their 2 week board and train program and I can’t give over the difference. The barking at anything and everything is gone, the stay until told, they love the structure, and they are so calm now. Walking is also much easier and less stressful. No more pulling, barking, or being aggressive towards other dogs or people. We were thankful for the consistent communication and photo/video updates through socials on playtime and the training process. I highly recommend getting a full service groom as well. The haircuts were so adorable. I can’t thank Josh, Brittany, and their amazing team enough. Training the boys and then teaching us all we need to know to have happy yet calm dogs. Thank you all so much!!!”

“We have been blessed to find and continue to use Lead The Way K9 Training and Boarding for many years. Our English Cream Goldens Bobofett and Lula-Belle started going there as pups for the initial training and then boarding and daycare. Josh and Brittney are hands down the best compassionate trainers and doggie caregivers period. Our pooches are treated like family and this shows when we drop off the Goldens. They cannot get our of our car fast enough to run inside and start their daycare. There is no better place in central Ohio to train, daycare and board your dogs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
