Testimonials
“Kimberly has helped me learn how to better understand Honey and keep up with her training. She has improved so much after we started the training.”
– Natalie T. – Honey’s Mom
“Kimberly was fantastic in helping me to understand my new Labrador puppy. With some simple principles in dog psychology, my pups recall was the difference between night and day just after the first session. I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone with the desire to have a better relationship with their four-legged friend.”
– Mark N. – Red’s Dad
“My wife and I rescued a shepard/husky who was living under a bridge at LAX. He had been there for months and was mostly feral, was aggressive toward other people outside of the immediate family, had major anxiety and confidence issues. With Kimberly’s help and guidance our dog is now very well behaved, way more social with people outside the family and is becoming the amazing dog we knew he could be. I would very highly recommend take the lead. Kimberly is amazing and works miracles with dogs.”
– Darren McGraw – Dingo’s Dad
About the Trainer
Take The Lead LLC is a dog training business serving the Inland Empire, including Corona, CA, offering personalized in-home private training and outdoor group classes. They focus on relationship-based, psychology-driven methods to address a wide range of behaviors—from basic obedience and puppy training to reactivity, separation anxiety, and leash pulling. Their private sessions are customized to each dog’s temperament and the owner’s ability to maintain consistency, often conducted in real-world settings like parks and stores to build practical skills. Group classes provide structured, leash-controlled environments with real-life distractions to improve recall, loose-leash walking, and handler confidence. They also offer specialized services like e-collar training for reliable recall, pack walks, and a hybrid package combining private and group sessions. Their trainers emphasize positive, non-punitive techniques and educate owners as much as dogs, helping families build lasting bonds with their pets.
They serve dogs of all ages and sizes, including high-energy breeds like herding and working dogs, and have successfully helped dogs with severe fear, aggression, and anxiety—such as a rescued shepherd/husky living under a bridge—to become calm, social companions. Clients frequently praise Kimberly’s calm demeanor, responsiveness, and ability to make training accessible and enjoyable for both dogs and owners.
Additional offerings include pack walks, merch, and community events like pool parties, fostering a supportive training community. They do not offer boarding, grooming, or daycare services.
All group classes require a prior evaluation to ensure safety and suitability.
How to Get Started!
Prospective clients must complete an evaluation prior to joining group classes. Private training can be scheduled directly after initial contact. The evaluation ensures the training environment is safe and appropriate for the dog’s behavior and needs.
