We were referred by a friend to Lead the Way Training and it has truly been the best decision for our rescue pup. All of the trainers are amazing and our dog loves going to “school” at Lead the Way. Not only did she learn quickly—they also helped her work through anxiety (loud noises like trash trucks etc…) and become more confident. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who is looking to help their dog be the best version of themselves! They are true dog lovers and incredibly knowledgeable—we learned so much at every training session.

I can't say enough good things about Lead the Way! I've used dog trainers before with previous dogs but nothing compares to the level of skill and care that Russ and his team, Laura and Hannah, delivered. They're knowledgeable, confident, thorough, kind, and were able to answer every question I had. I love that Russ, during the lessons with me and Teddy, made sure that I understood commands that my pup learned so that I could continue at home, and that I fully understood the reasoning behind training. Bonus: Taking Teddy to different locations in the area to practice skills in different environments. Above and beyond!
Very professional, friendly, courteous. You can tell the love of dogs they have.
