Love in the Lead Team

Welcome to the Love in the Lead Team

With over 75 years of combined experience, our team of expert dog trainers have the skills and knowledge to work with dogs of all breeds and behavioral issues. Whether your dog needs advanced obedience training, behavior modification, therapy dog training, or service dog training, we have a proven track record of success.

At Love in the Lead, our trainers undergo extensive hands-on training with our owner and head trainer, Rebecca Golian, ensuring consistency, effectiveness, and the highest level of humane training and care possible. We don’t just train dogs—we also educate owners, providing exceptional client support and comprehensive graduate follow-up services.

Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. We treat every dog like family, with daily grooming, health checks, and compassionate handling. Plus, all our trainers are CPR and Pet First Aid certified, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in expert hands.

Let Love in the Lead help you and your dog build a stronger bond through expert training, care, and support.
