Lead K9

We have been working with Lead K9 for close to a year and it has been an amazing experience. We have noticed a huge improvement in our German Shepherd Maya who had issues with being reactive, especially around other dogs. We tried other programs and the benefits always seemed short lived. Lead K9 gave us a simple training system that is built around the use of leash pressure that our family has found to be a long term solution. I feel like we are able to communicate more efficiently with our dogs and that helps us make our dog more comfortable when around people and other dogs. We have continued to train with Lead K9 because of the incredible value of this service, including having get together with other dog owners, new and exciting training opportunities and the option to have your dog do day training with one of the incredible trainers. I highly recommend anyone with a dog try this service, and I plan to continue to use this training for years to come.

LeadK9 Training has been a lifesaver for me and my dog, Odin. Before we met Chris, Odin was all over the place – he had tons of energy and knew how to use it, especially when we were out and about. Honestly, getting him to listen felt like mission impossible. But then Chris came along, and it was like he just got Odin right from the start. His training methods weren’t just effective; they were fun. Odin started to really enjoy learning, and I could see him getting better and happier with every session. What really amazed me about working with Chris wasn’t just how he managed to get through to Odin but how he taught me to do the same. He has this patient way of explaining things that made everything click for me. Now, Odin’s not just better behaved; he’s a joy to be around. Our walks are fun, he’s great with commands, and it feels like we understand each other so much better. Chris didn’t just train Odin; he helped us build a stronger bond. If you’re on the fence about dog training, take it from me: Chris is the real deal.

Best investment we have made in a long time— and some of the best people I know. They have trained my English Yellow Labby and my Texas Heeler, just all around outstanding training and professionalism. And with the club access, plus—help in every aspect of k9 handling, knowledge turnover-and how they will accommodate and communicate with you, the owner, with your k9 needs and even specific wants, I wanted certain things for my lab, as far as his temperament and they delivered—our heeler retained the training he received as a pup to the point he can be leash free and highly athletic, running and biking, etc. You're not going to find a better program. Thanks for everything/Semper Fidelis!

Chris at Lead K9 is an exceptional dog trainer! My dog, Zorha, was a bit of a handful when I first brought her to Chris, but within just a few sessions, I could see a noticeable difference in her behavior. Chris has a calm and gentle demeanor that really resonated with Zorha, and his training methods were effective and easy to understand. He also took the time to explain everything to me, ensuring that I felt confident in continuing the training at home. I highly recommend Chris at Lead K9 to anyone looking for a knowledgeable dog trainer.
