FirstBarkI’ve had multiple dogs through Leader of the Pack dating back to their first few days as a business. The owners helped my parents and I train and board our first two family dogs, and I’ve returned to have them train and take care of my own pup! They truly are a pet oriented business and provide care to the highest standard for dogs and their owners.

We are from out of town and our puppies came here for day camp two years ago. The staff was able to get us in same day for evaluation and very good about explaining pricing and intro process. The puppies loved it!! We recently went back after another trip into town and once again they were able to get us in for intro and our puppies picked up right where they left off as if no time had passed. We had a extra puppy with us this time but unfortunately she was not in the best mood after a 25 hour road trip! But we were given a good explanation of what happened during the intro and what our options were. I really appreciate the calm demeanor of going over everything with us. Would highly recommend this place. Very obvious they care about the dogs and their humans. :-)

Marlowe and I had great learning experiences in both Puppy Class and Adult Beginner Class with Haley. She is a talented pack leader whose passion for dogs shines through. In addition to the class curriculum, Haley was always helpful and attuned to questions and needs of all dogs. On multiple occasions she stayed after class to talk/offer guidance on any concerns I had. I’m so grateful for the growth in skills and relationship I have with my dog. 10/10, thank you for everything!
Zeke and Kalessi were well taken care of during their stay. Great staff and facilities.
I take my dogs Ryder and ranger to get groomed, Gabby is absolutely amazing! She’s so patient and gentle with my two dogs, and they always come home looking perfect. You can tell she truly cares about every pet she grooms, and is so patient even with my wiggly German shepherd. I’m so thankful to have found someone I can trust.
