Testimonials

Had our first session with Cece and our Dalmatian puppy today. She is amazing and we learned a lot in the first session. Very excited for more to come! Highly recommend Lead Me On if you are looking for a trainer!

I did lots of research before settling on Lead Me On for Board and Train for both of our Aussies! The facility is a bit out in the country but worth every minute of the drive. It is spacious and well laid out for board and train. We have been so impressed by the staff. They genuinely care for our dogs and you can see it in the end result. The dogs are trained through reward based behaviors and NOT e collars. We highly recommend Lead Me On!
– Client

Rae and the team are great! They are teaching me how to understand what is happening with my rescue husky’s chemistry when he is triggered and how to de-escalate him. Which is good for mom, but more importantly for him with less anxiety. It is a lot of work on everyone’s part and doesn’t change overnight, but it is getting better and I am so thankful! I have learned so much.
