Testimonials
“I cannot express how wonderful our experience with Love in the Lead has been and continues to be. Not only are they wonderful trainers, knowledgeable and patient/responsive to owners’ questions and concerns but they were so trustworthy to care for our dog just as we would: with compassion, patience, love and gentleness. Our fur babies are our family and they become a part of their family during training and after. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Rebecca and the entire staff at Love in the Lead Canine Training.”
“Our puppy attended the 10 day puppy training and I am so happy with the growth that happened during his training! Rebecca and her team are super knowledgeable and friendly. Not only was my puppy trained but you get trained at your going home session too. I left feeling equipped to continue training at home. Our dog learned good walking skills, how to control himself around distractions better than he was and how to hold his position at his “place”. We will be back for more advanced training soon!”
