Learn and Lead Dog Training

Gracie provides individualized, in-home training sessions tailored to each dog’s specific behavioral challenges and the owner’s goals. Sessions are ongoing and designed to build on progress over time, with techniques that owners can apply daily. Training focuses on leadership, confidence-building, and reliable obedience in real-world environments.

Learn and Lead Dog Training is a certified dog training service led by Gracie, who travels to the dog owner’s home for personalized, one-on-one training sessions. Gracie specializes in building confidence, improving manners, and establishing leadership between dogs and their owners, with proven success in addressing leash pulling, reactivity, fearfulness, and separation anxiety. Her approach is patient, supportive, and tailored to both the dog’s needs and the owner’s comfort level, helping nervous owners regain confidence while transforming their dog’s behavior. She works with all dog types and ages, including challenging breeds like Cane Corsos and Dalmatians, and emphasizes positive, effective techniques that owners can continue using long after sessions end.

Gracie’s training has helped dogs become calmer on walks, respond reliably to commands, and trust their owners as leaders, even after previous training failures. Clients consistently highlight her humor, kindness, and ability to make training feel achievable and enjoyable.

She also offers ongoing support and has helped clients with dogs that have had traumatic experiences or behavioral setbacks, including dogs that ran into traffic or refused to listen due to anxiety.
