My new pup and I just completed the Adult Beginner training course, and I have nothing but praise for the program. Our instructor, Haley, holds a wealth of knowledge. We didn't just practice commands. Instead, she led us to understand the way dogs perceive the world and how our behaviors and responses affect the dogs' behaviors. The information and skills we learned will allow us to have happy homes with our happy pups. AND, Haley made it FUN!

I have boarded my dogs with lopci for about 4 years now. They are wonderful. Never have to worry about my pups when they are there. My Henry had been going there for boarding and also nail clips for years. When he passed away in April we got a beautiful card and seeds to plant in his honor. That meant so much to us. Cannot say enough about the wonderful caring staff there. Thanks so much lopci!

My dog and I just completed the adult beginner class and we learned so much. Tommy is an amazing teacher, and my dog loved him so much that she gave him a kiss at graduation! Victoria is awesome too! They not only help during class, but they will answer any additional questions you have after class as well. I will definitely be looking into other training classes and services they offer. I 100% recommend them!

I brought a 1 year old golden to the adult begginer class here and oh my goodness. My dog attended two different training programs prior to attending Leader of the Pack and inwish I would've just brought him here to start. The staff exceeded my expectations, I asked questions about specific scenarios in which my dog was struggling and their advice for working with him completely transformed our relationship in a positive way. There's definitely more trust and, therefore, more obedience with ny pup. I didn't think he would do well for graduation, but the staff really work with you to ensure that you've got the tools you need to work with your dog. The only issue i have is that my dog is allergic to beef and staff did give him beef treats a few times before I realized what was happening but... if you bring your own treats, your pup should be fine :) I would 100% recommend signing up here.

These folks run a top notch facility with kind and courteous staff. It’s a true reflection of this owner couple and how they handle the dog world and its owners. Absolute professionalism right down to the staff. Natalie handled key important questions I needed answered for and followed up immediately. Every member I’ve dealt with in this stressful personal experience has just been pleasure to deal with. Good job folks!
