FirstBarkWe had an amazing experience with Lead the Way. We did a two week board and train when our puppy was 7 months old. He came home a totally different (in a good way!) dog. He is much easier on walks and sleeps significantly better than before. We have since boarded him there and it always is a positive experience.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
do you have any recomendations for trainers who can help w bigger dogs from the shelter? trying to get them leash trained and basic manners so they can get adopted. some of them have been there too long! Please if you know of any
Hello, thank you for the message. We train all sizes. At this time we don’t have the personnel to train pro bono to help dogs get adopted. With that said we donate and support the Delaware Humane Society on a monthly basis. It is a goal of our company to help train dogs in the shelters to help get adopted but we are just not there yet. Thanks again for reaching out and we wish you all the best!

Recently a german shepard was added to our home. She is 4 years old and great with people. She has attacked one of our other dogs unprovoked 3 times. Will Training get her to stop? The other dog is much smaller and I don't want her hurt.
Hello, please seek out an aggressive dog trainer. We only do obedience training. Thank you.

My dog has been boarded here and goes to doggie daycare. He loves it. All the people here are so very nice and helpful.
Josh & Brittany and their team are absolutely amazing. We have used their services for our now 1.5 year old GSD Max. Their board and train was exactly what Max needed to get on the right track. We have also had them board Max over the weekend a few times while we were out of town…Read full reviewClose full review
Josh & Brittany and their team are absolutely amazing. We have used their services for our now 1.5 year old GSD Max. Their board and train was exactly what Max needed to get on the right track. We have also had them board Max over the weekend a few times while we were out of town. Along with their other services, Max goes twice a week to Doggy Daycare at Lead the Way. If you are in need of any dog services that they offer, I cannot recommend them enough. 5 Star rating across the board.
Our Maltese Keno was trained by Brittany and Josh when we first brought him to our home and has been with Lead the Way ever since for day care and boarding. We have had so many of our friends ask us how is he so well behaved and friendly. We believe it is all because of his training by them. He is always excited to go for his daycare. We just love the care he gets there.
Three years ago we adopted a 4 year old golden-doodle. He was a wild, out-of-control boy. Lead the Way taught him how to self manage and obey commands. Since his training, we have boarded him there and he cannot wait to get out of the car when we arrive. We reinforce all the training and he is a calm sweet boy. Thank you Josh & Staff.
