“Lead the Way Dog Training has been a game-changer for my dog! They helped him gain the confidence and skills needed to be obedient, and they taught me the essential commands to continue his training beyond the program. His recall is incredible—even with distractions like other dogs, one ‘with me’ command, and he’s right by my side. I couldn’t be happier with my experience! My trainer Stephanie was amazing answered all my questions and more! She really domed a bond with my dog that made him comfortable and happy to be dropped off! If you’re on the fence, I can confidently say that investing in Lead the Way was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s worth every penny!” Less

We were referred by a friend to Lead the Way Training and it has truly been the best decision for our rescue pup. All of the trainers are amazing and our dog loves going to “school” at Lead the Way. Not only did she learn quickly—they also helped her work through anxiety (loud noises like trash trucks etc…) and become more confident. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who is looking to help their dog be the best version of themselves! They are true dog lovers and incredibly knowledgeable—we learned so much at every training session. Less

I can't say enough good things about Lead the Way! I've used dog trainers before with previous dogs but nothing compares to the level of skill and care that Russ and his team, Laura and Hannah, delivered. They're knowledgeable, confident, thorough, kind, and were able to answer every question I had. I love that Russ, during the lessons with me and Teddy, made sure that I understood commands that my pup learned so that I could continue at home, and that I fully understood the reasoning behind training.Bonus: Taking Teddy to different locations in the area to practice skills in different environments. Above and beyond! Less

Stephanie is amazing!!! I have an 11-year-old Havanese, who used to have fear-based aggression. After 2 lessons with Stephanie, people on the street were stopping me to say that they wished their dogs were as well behaved as mine. After the 3rd lesson, he was able to walk past and meet other dogs without any barking, growling, etc. I wish I had met her when he was a puppy!!! Picture of Stephanie and Gusto. Thanks Stephanie!

My two sisters Brooklyn and Bridget did very well with training and continue with extra camp days for reinforcement. They are much more manageable and, while I feared breaking their feisty little spirits, they are happy and loving little girls. While they are only 20 lbs. each, they needed some training to know who the leaders of the pack are. A good investment! Less

Russ has been great. We adopted a reactive dog from the shelter, and have seen a massive improvement in his behavior since Russ has been involved. He's not only training the dog, but training us as well. We are well on our way to having the reactive behavior reduced to manageable levels. Thank you Russ! Less

Baye is in her 5th week of a 7 week training schedule Russ's team has done a tremendous job in teaching Baye, and us, how to have a better family member. Each week Baye's training, who is just 6 mos old, builds on the previous week and introduces new concepts for Baye to master. I can't say enough how happy we are selecting Russ to train Baye. Thanks Brian and Shelly Meyers Less

Excellent training. I first brought my pittie pup for training from Russ and was very impressed with how quickly she picked up on things. Not long after, I got a second pup, a blue heeler. Again, I was very impressed with her training. Both dogs completed the Platinum Program and I highly recommend it for your dog(s). Less

I recently had the pleasure of enrolling my cocker spaniel, Dasher, in the Blue Line K-9 dog training program, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dasher had been exhibiting some challenging behavioral issues, and I was at my wit's end trying to manage them. Fortunately, the team at Blue Line K-9 provided the structured training and support we needed. From the moment we started, it was clear that Blue Line K-9's training program is top-notch. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, offering a variety of structured training sessions tailored to address specific behavioral issues. With their expert guidance, Dasher quickly began to show significant improvements in obedience and overall behavior. One of the standout features of Blue Line K-9 is their Canine Country Club Alumni Club. This program ensures that once your dog completes the initial training, they can continue to refine and maintain their skills in a supportive and engaging environment. It's been a fantastic way for Dasher to stay sharp and socialize with other well-trained dogs. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire Blue Line K-9 training staff for their continued efforts in training Dasher. Your dedication and expertise have made a world of difference, and I am truly grateful for everything you've done for us. Less

When we got our new puppy he wouldn’t learn commands because he always looked to our older dog. We heard good things about Blue Line and decided to give them a shot. We are amazed how much our puppy has changed. They not only work with the dogs but teach you how to work with them to reinforce what they had taught them that day. Blaze is almost a year old and amazing off leash. Less

Mirabelle graduated from training this past week, and we’ve seen incredible improvement over the last 7 weeks. Special thanks to Stephanie Beck for being amazing—Mirabelle loves you! If you’re looking for training for your pup, this is the place to go. I never thought I’d be able to walk Mirabelle off-leash, but they made it possible! Less

My 12-week-old lab puppy 🐶 went into training unsure of life's expectations.Throughout his learning experience with Stephanie he was not only able to master basic obedience, but adapted and overcame fear. Those skills she taught allowed him to grow up into the perfect gentleman 🎩 he is today. Franklin thrives in training and is always looking for the chance to exceed the goals set fourth for him. More importantly, he has so much fun at school with his human and furry friends 💗. The genuine passion from both Stephanie and Russ far surpassed my expectations, bar none. I can't thank them enough for assisting in building the unbreakable bond Franklin and I have established through their training program. "Don't be a Frankie, when you can be a Franklin 🎩👔" Less

Highly recommend! Our dog did the two week board and train and absolutely loved it! Stephanie and Russ are the best! I could not be happier with our decision to trust them with our dog! We will be sure to reach out for our next dog! Less
