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!

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.

We can’t say enough great things about our experience with Lead The Way K9 Training! They worked with our two puppies and completely transformed them into well-mannered, confident little dogs. The trainers were professional, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do.
Not only did our pups learn basic commands and manners, but we also learned how to communicate with them more effectively. The entire process was positive, supportive, and honestly kind of fun! We couldn’t wait to check their progress on Instagram each day!
If you’re looking for a dog trainer who truly cares and gets results, look no further. We’re beyond grateful for the foundation they helped us build for a happy, well-behaved pack. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with Lead the Way for our dog’s grooming! He came back looking exactly how we wanted — they truly listened to what we asked for and delivered perfectly. Not only did he look great, but he was also so happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which speaks volumes about how well he was treated. We highly recommend Lead the Way for both grooming and boarding — they clearly care about the pets they work with and it shows!

We took our 8 year old dogs for the two week board and train. Our dogs are loving and sweet, but not exactly obedient, especially with a toddler in our house. After two weeks of training, our dogs are not only obedient, but also the same loving and sweet boys. We wish we would have done this sooner.
Josh and Brittany set up reasonable expectations and trained us to set up our dogs for success when we got home! We wish we could give them 6 stars.
