Deborah Busch of Lead Me has her finger on the pulse of what makes dogs tick. She is a keen observer of both your dog and you and how your life together can be better. Keeping in mind that your dog's behavior is probably mirroring your own behavior, she presents positive ways to improve your human/dog communication. I have a very lively, energetic and sometimes reactive dog, and Deborah has helped me with coping strategies to keep life calm. So far, we're doing pretty well but I'm confident that consistency and patience will help us improve lots more.

We are visiting Florida for a couple days and wanted to find a spot to leave our pup for a couple hours while we went swimming in the springs. My husband found Lead me and I will follow on google. Deborah was able to accommodate us the same day we called. She is so professional and kind, I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her. She sent so many great pictures of Zoey having the best day ever. She updated us on how Zoey was doing and even cut her nails for us. I can’t tell you how much I wish Deborah was in NY. We will 100% bring Zoey back when we visit Florida again. Last pic shows zoey resting on the car ride home after a fun filled day.

We left our high energy 16 week German shepherd with Deborah for 3 days' while I had surgury. She sent video's showing us how to continue her training when we brought her back home. She truly is gifted. The nippy, out of control puppy we left is a different puppy 3 days' later. Very happy with her services' .

My "headstrong" Golden Retriever Bella Rose learned so much in just one day of training! She will be going 1-2 days a week until Bella is ready to be certified as a therapy dog. Amazing results!

Very professional. Deborah really knows what she is doing. My adopted JRT was totally out of control. I had one session with her, went home, and followed instructions she gave me. I saw so much improvement by the next day. AMAZING!! Update: I've been lunging and working with Piper. She is pretty good at loose leash walk now. She has calmed down quite a bit in the house. Much improved at the door. Not perfect but getting there.
