Testimonials
“Leader of the Pack’s approach is positive and realistic. We learned effective tools and techniques to get a better handle on our very active Australian Cattle Dog. All around, it worked out great! We did 4 sessions and we really feel we have better control over our dog and our pack is happier because of it!!!”
– Megan S.
“Ida is a wonderful trainer and has been so helpful with our pup. We’ve done the beginner class and advanced class and it’s not only a great way to help your dog with commands but a great opportunity for them to socialize with other pups. You also can’t beat the price! We’d recommend this place to anyone.”
– Client
“Ida did a great job creating a safe group environment for my nervous dog Demi to work on her reactivity. Over 6 weeks of the obedience with distractions class, my dog was able to transition from barking at the other dogs in the class out of nervousness to playing with them.”
