What people have asked about this business.

do you have any recomendations for trainers who can help w bigger dogs from the shelter? trying to get them leash trained and basic manners so they can get adopted. some of them have been there too long! Please if you know of any

Hello, thank you for the message. We train all sizes. At this time we don’t have the personnel to train pro bono to help dogs get adopted. With that said we donate and support the Delaware Humane Society on a monthly basis. It is a goal of our company to help train dogs in the shelters to help get adopted but we are just not there yet. Thanks again for reaching out and we wish you all the best!

Question on Google
Recently a german shepard was added to our home. She is 4 years old and great with people. She has attacked one of our other dogs unprovoked 3 times. Will Training get her to stop? The other dog is much smaller and I don't want her hurt.

Hello, please seek out an aggressive dog trainer. We only do obedience training. Thank you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough good things about Lead the Way K9! We take both of our dogs, Archie and Peanut, here for doggy daycare, and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. Every single person we have dealt with has been incredibly polite, friendly, helpful, and genuinely seems to care about the dogs they are taking care of. The owners have also been unbelievably accommodating. Whether it is scheduling, answering questions, or just making the whole process easy, they have always gone out of their way to help us. That level of customer service is becoming harder and harder to find, and it absolutely deserves to be recognized. The facility itself is phenomenal. It is clean, well maintained, spacious, and you can immediately tell that a tremendous amount of thought has gone into creating a safe and enjoyable environment for the dogs. But the best review really comes from Archie and Peanut themselves. 😂 The second they realize where we are going, they get excited, and when we pull in they practically break their necks trying to get through the door! Then when we pick them up, they are literally smiling. Happy, exhausted dogs that clearly had an absolute blast. There are plenty of places you can pay to have someone watch your dogs. Finding a place where you genuinely feel like your dogs LOVE being there and are being cared for by people you trust is something completely different. That peace of mind is worth every single penny. We absolutely love Lead the Way K9 and cannot recommend them highly enough. Archie and Peanut give them five stars too! 🐶🐶❤️

Lead the Way is great! The team does an excellent job with our dog and shares pictures of our furry friend while we’re away. I highly recommend boarding your dog with them.

We’ve been boarding our two pups here while we travel for work, for the past two years. We have our main residence in Texas and a farm in Ohio and still prefer to fly the pups all the way to Lead The Way no matter where our trip is headed. We have two large high energy dogs, one apricot Golden Doodle, “Georgie”, and one black German Shepherd, “Maizy”, and they both go to “camp” together! The owners specialize in dog training and maintain a very well managed environment for dogs to be and feel safe in. They take a lot of pride in their business, you can tell by how beautifully maintained the facility is the moment you drive onto the property. They also bring a festive holiday spirit to the experience for the dogs and send lots of photos. You can even add an exit bath so that they’re squeaky clean upon pick up! Most of all we are thankful that the team here is flexible as our jobs can be demanding and change at moments notice. 🙏
