Can't speak highly enough of the team at LECA. Between the training and the care, knowing your pup is the hands of true professionals is a massive relief. The quality of the facility, the attention to detail by the staff, and the very clear passion for our canine companions, is unrivaled. Loki is the best dog I've ever had, and I give all the credit to LECA.

Everyone at this facility is GENUINELY kind. Liz is warm and friendly. Max is very professional and the dog trainers are very knowledgeable and patient. Lucky loves going. I am thrilled with the progress he has made on the leash —not pulling as much on our walks. I look forward to more training and thankful for all they have done so far. LUCKY can’t wait to go here! LECA to a dog is like DISNEY is to a toddler! ♥️

The experiences my dog, Churro, and I have had at LECA thus far have been GREAT! The owner and employees love every dog that walks through their doors. This love transfers to everything they do from caring for them to using their extensive knowledge when training. When I leave Churro, I have total peace he will be safe and loved and confidence that he is learning something new. LECA is a gift😊

Amazing, amazing work. These folks are the true pros. Forget Rover, Wag, big box corporate trainers, etc. Troubled, abused, anxious, neurotic, fearful dogs all walk in these doors and transform before walking out. LECA are miracle workers. I brought my own dog here when we rescued him: Reactive, separation anxiety, and very quick to the Fight of the four F's. After very little time here, he was more self-assured and comfortable not only around other people, but dogs. When we first adopted him, he was leash reactive and would begin barking and lunging at people even down the road. Now we can take him to dog parks without worrying. Do the math on that. LECA had a big impact there, not only in training him, but in training me in how to properly handle him and remain consistent. I work in the pet care industry myself — My own certified pet care company. I have used LECA in the past for leash manners training, am attending their First Aid course this upcoming Fall, and will be putting my senior employees through it as well. The only real drawback is their pricing. Make no mistake: You get what you pay for, and miracles are expensive. But they charge what they do because they know it works. This is where I refer people to when they have nowhere else to go, no more hope left, and/or my own company can't help them. LECA are the top of the class. It doesn't get better.
