I absolutely love this place! The staff genuinely invests time and attention into each dog rather than just keeping them all in one room all day. The facility is always clean, smells fresh, and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is not only friendly but also clearly passionate about what they do, always happy to help and engage with both dogs and their owners. What truly sets this place apart is the way they tailor their care to each dog's personality and needs. Throughout the day, they provide enrichment activities, structured play, and even training sessions, ensuring the dogs are not just entertained but also mentally and physically stimulated. It’s more than just a daycare—it’s a place where dogs can learn, grow, and thrive. I've been bringing my dog, Kaiser, here since his early days, starting with their Thursday socialization class. We've taken advantage of their fantastic training programs, and now he attends school three times a week. Every time he comes home, he’s happy, well-exercised, and fulfilled. For any pet parent looking for more than just a daycare or boarding facility, this place is truly a gem. The level of care, structure, and attention they provide is unmatched, and I can’t recommend them enough!

We found LECA through its Thursday puppy socials, knowing how crucial proper socialization was for our 13-week-old, under-socialized puppy mill rescue. From the start, LECA provided the perfect mix of socialization, enrichment, and training. With a hyper-energetic, highly intelligent, and sensitive Australian Shepherd, we wanted to ensure she had positive experiences while also satisfying her natural drive to “work.” LECA has been instrumental in making that happen. Beyond socials, we’ve taken several classes to become better dog guardians and help our pup overcome her early socialization deficits—especially her fears. The team truly cares, always listening to our feedback and tailoring their approach to our dog’s needs. Our biggest win? Addressing her leash reactivity early on and helping her grow into a more confident dog. But don’t just take our word for it—her happy smile in the photos says it all! The LECA staff are some of her favorite people. Big shoutout to Max, Liz, Xavier, Ryan, Justin, and Ally!

Thank you LECA Academy for making our journey a successful one! With your diligence, professional training, compassion and overall 5 star support, we were able to over come all of the hurdles after we rescued our pup! We are forever grateful to the amazing trainers and staff that put in the work with this guy! He was next to be euthanized before we rescued him. He was a reactive and anxious dog with a ton of energy that he didn’t know how to use. With your help he has become a loving, loyal, well mannered companion. We never thought we would be able to go on a walk without fear of him reacting. Now we are able to walk wherever we want as well as bring him places with our family. He can also play with other pups nicely as well. He has truly over come so much! We cannot thank the staff at LECA enough! We wouldn’t recommend anyone else for your pups needs!!
