We found Lead Me with Deborah when we got Andy, our standard poodle puppy, last spring. Andy's breeder gave us the Lead Me referral and have been very please with our experience. She was very responsive and available for professional puppy training consultations when we first brought Andy home. Since then, we have had a positive relationship for grooming and doggy play time. Deborah's experience with clipping allowed us to give Andy the special clip design we've liked on our previous 6 poodles through the years. She work along with us in a positive and professional manner. We highly recommend Lead Me for all you grooming, boarding and grooming needs.

I own a young poodle who was abused and neglected. I rescued her 2 years ago, and have tried several so-called trainers who got nowhere after several sessions, and I was giving up. I met Deborah from Lead Me, who from the minute she entered our life, I KNEW this was a person who knew her stuff! I have learned more in one session than all others combined. I plan on a weekly visit to her place for socialization, and further improvement with my dog. I would say to all people who think anything of their pet---visit Deborah!! You and your pet will enjoy the results

Due to the passing of our beloved dog of 15 years, my daughter felt I needed a puppy. As we did not follow through with proper training the last time, I agreed to the puppy as long as we obtained real training from a professional this time and committed to follow through. Deb Busch was highly recommended as the trainer for us. Deb not only met but exceeded our expectations. It turns out all of my preconceived ideas of what to do were completely incorrect. Deb assured me if we follow her instructions and be consistent on our part we would have a wonderful, enjoyable companion. She was right. Our almost 7 month old puppy has responded well to the training and Is such a joy. Deb remains a wonderful coach on how to train a puppy—what to do, what not to do, as we raise up an obedient, disciplined, fun-loving dog. Deb Busch is the best!
