If you’re experiencing any behavioral challenges or concerns with your dog, we'll create a personalized program to help clear up any confusion between you and your dog

Wow! I had (and keep having) an excellent experience with Lead K9 (Johnathan and Chris) who worked wonders with my puppy, Sam. Not only did Sam quickly learn essential commands, but Chris and Johnathan also offered valuable tips for effective and positive dog training. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking skilled and patient dog trainers.

I went from just wanting Sam to be obedience trained to now talking about agility, dock diving, and scent work with Lead K9. They really make training fun and they’re actually affordable! Plus, my son loves going to training every week. Win-win!

We have been working with Lead K9 for close to a year and it has been an amazing experience. We have noticed a huge improvement in our German Shepherd Maya who had issues with being reactive, especially around other dogs. We tried other programs and the benefits always seemed short lived. Lead K9 gave us a simple training system that is built around the use of leash pressure that our family has found to be a long term solution. I feel like we are able to communicate more efficiently with our dogs and that helps us make our dog more comfortable when around people and other dogs. We have continued to train with Lead K9 because of the incredible value of this service, including having get together with other dog owners, new and exciting training opportunities and the option to have your dog do day training with one of the incredible trainers.
I highly recommend anyone with a dog try this service, and I plan to continue to use this training for years to come.

"Amazing person to work with. This comes from someone who is picky when it comes to training methods on my dog. My dog went from an anxiety driven shelter rescue to a family pet. 100% recommended by me and my family."
Best investment we have made in a long time— and some of the best people I know.
They have trained my English Yellow Labby and my Texas Heeler, just all around outstanding training and professionalism. And with the club access, plus—help in every aspect of k9 handling, knowledge turnover-and how they will accommodate and communicate with you, the owner, with your k9 needs and even specific wants, I wanted certain things for my lab, as far as his temperament and they delivered—our heeler retained the training he received as a pup to the point he can be leash free and highly athletic, running and biking, etc.
You're not going to find a better program.
Thanks for everything/Semper Fidelis!
