Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Lead Me offers comprehensive training programs designed to strengthen skills and confidence for both pets and owners. Puppy training is available through group classes, private in-home sessions, and daycare with training and socialization. Private training, conducted either in-home or at their facility, addresses manners, obedience, and behavioral issues, providing tools and tricks for a well-mannered companion.
The American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen classes include STAR PUPPY, CANINE GOOD CITIZEN, COMMUNITY, and URBAN levels, with Deborah as an AKC Evaluator. Group training provides instruction for beginning and advanced obedience, offering exposure to various sounds and everyday life activities in a controlled environment, alongside proper socialization. Service dog training includes assistance in finding suitable candidates, temperament testing, and individualized training covering basic manners, obedience, socialization, public access, and task training.
Board and train programs are available with limited openings, focusing on creating well-mannered companions. Additionally, they provide grooming instruction, which can be personalized online or in-person, covering nail cutting, dremel use, ear care, bathing, sanitary cleaning, trimming, thinning, and clipping.
Testimonials
“I own a young poodle who was abused and neglected. I rescued her 2 years ago, and have tried several so-called trainers who got nowhere after several sessions, and I was giving up. I met Deborah from Lead Me, who from the minute she entered our life, I KNEW this was a person who knew her stuff! I have learned more in one session than all others combined. I plan on a weekly visit to her place for socialization, and further improvement with my dog.I would say to all people who think anything of their pet visit Deborah!! You and your pet will enjoy the result”

“If I can give her higher than a 5 star, I would. She helped train my service dog and took care of him when I left for a week vacation. She is an amazing person and treats your animal like her own. I would never hesitate in contacting her to watch any of my animals. She’s passionate about training and caring for animals.”
