Lead Dog Coaching and Training

Thank you Andrea for guiding our family in helping shape a kind and well behaved puppy. Your teaching, coaching, and consultative approach was exactly what we were looking for in these early stages for Hazel. Your experience with every circumstance we presented was very evident and your thoughtfulness toward solutions and resolutions really shines. Hazel is well on her way to becoming a behavioral superstar! I’m Hazel Wheeler and I approve this message, ARF!

Andrea at Lead Dog is amazing. We got a one-year-old rescue dog and realized pretty quickly that we needed help. Andrea has come to our house and worked with both the family and our dog. We left with a much better understanding of how to communicate and train our new addition to the family. Andrea gave detailed notes and was quick to respond with other questions as they inevitably arose. We are really happy with Andrea's help and happy to say that our pup is doing very well too. Thank you, Andrea!

Our family and dog Archie have received so much care and benefit from Andrea at Lead Dog Canine Coaching! Her expertise, knowledge, and demeanor is highlighted in everything she does. Her process and attention to detail has resulted in tangible and real behavioral changes in our dog. She provides very practical solutions to all aspects of dog behavior or aggression. She has provided us with personalized in-person consultations, written summaries and follow up guidance, and has recommended amazing products to further help with repetition and ongoing training. She is amazing at getting to know your pup and their individual needs and approaches training situations by trying to understand the underlying reasons your dog may be acting out or not responding to commands. Andrea is also incredibly encouraging and supportive in your training journey and has helped us on a clear path forward. Our dog has learned leash training, recall, diversion tactics for barking/jumping when visitors come to our house, and overall best practices for mental stimulation. We highly recommend Andrea for all of your dog training needs!

We are so very grateful to have met Andrea! Her guidance and expertise with training us humans to strengthen our relationship with our one year old bernedoodle has been so effective in such a short period of time. This is our first dog and we were a mess before we met Andrea. She has been very patient and thoughtful in her approach with us and our Penne. We are now enjoying our walks side by side with Penne instead of having Penne take us on for walks. We still have a ways to go but with Andrea's support, we are no longer as worried about our path forward.
