We are beyond thankful for LECA. We have been coming to LECA for over a year and half. Started in Thursday night puppy social and have graduated into the day school program. Our dog struggles with being reactive, and has really come out of his shell and built the confidence he needed. It was clear that the staff is passionate about dogs and committed to providing a positive learning environment. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. They take the time to understand each dog's individual needs, which helped my dog feel comfortable and excited about learning. The lessons are structured, but also flexible, which kept things fun and engaging. What really impressed me was how the school emphasized not just obedience, but also building a strong bond between my dog and me. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being of the dogs and their families. I saw visible improvements in my dog's behavior and confidence after just a few weeks! If you’re looking for a place that will help your dog grow and thrive, I can't recommend LECA enough!

Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!? I recently brought my 9 year old border collie mix to LECA not only for enrichment, but to help her become less reactive to cats, squirrels, noisy trucks, and deer. It’s working! For example, this weekend, we saw an outdoor cat nearby and my dog didn’t react at all — no pulling, barking, lunging. Just perfect leash manners! LECA’s approach is effective, kind, patient, and based upon up to date research, and the entire staff is so knowledgeable. They also train pet parents in their methods. LOL.

We have been going to LECA for two months now to help our dog build confidence and combat separation anxiety. While we still have work to do, we are very very happy with LECA! Their approach and knowledge of dogs is terrific and we feel so comfortable leaving our pup there. LECA offers so much for their price, so it’s completely worth every penny. We are seeing progress every week and not to mention, our dog is obsessed with going! We absolutely love LECA and recommend it to anyone who needs some extra support from the experts!

Hands down the best dog daycare you can find. Amazing staff, enrichment for my dogs, and great scheduling options. I would trust my pups NOWHERE else.
