It's time for the latest spotlight - check out Benji!
💕🐾
Once fearful of nearly everything—from unfamiliar noises and new faces to stepping into his crate or riding in a car—Benji struggled to feel safe in his world. With his pawrent’s support, the team worked with Benji both virtually and in person to help him start building confidence. Through these gradual, trust-based sessions, Benji found stability and began to relax.
😱
His biggest helper has been canine trainer Gunner! Benji adores following Gunner’s lead, picking up cues, and finding reassurance in his calm presence. After coming to stay with the team for a board and train program, Benji has started to tackle his fears one brave step at a time. With his pawrent, the LTW team, and Gunner by his side, he’s transforming into a more courageous version of himself every day. We’re so proud to see his progress! 🌟

Happy Wednesday! Muzzles often get a bad reputation, but in our world, we like to think of them as "party hats." When they're on, great things happen! Whether it’s a walk in the park or playtime with other dogs, the "party hat" ensures there are no mistakes, making it easier for everyone to relax—humans and dogs alike.
🐕
Take Gunner, for example, one of Lead the Way's resident dogs. Gunner is wary of strangers, so we use a muzzle for vet visits to ensure everything goes smoothly. With his "party hat" on, our team feels confident that there won’t be any incidents.
👍
Success often comes from changing perspectives, following the right protocols, and practicing regularly—something we focus on at . Once owners see muzzles as a tool for good things happening, they stop feeling bad about using them.
🐶
Does your dog struggle with stranger danger, or are you concerned about biting? Maybe they’ve chased after another dog? 🤐 Don’t worry, we’re here to help. Our programs, rooted in benevolent leadership, address aggression triggers and establish safety protocols. Contact us at https://www.lead-the-way.us to learn more!

We often hear, "I just want my dog to be obedient," but for , Amy is here to explain why obedience and manners are not the same thing. There's more to it than just following commands! 🎥 Listen in as Amy dives into the difference and why teaching manners is key to having a well-rounded pup. 🐾

Have your dogs ever gone from being ok to fighting with one another?
🤼‍♀️
That's exactly what happened with Lady and Scrappy! As they got older, they started having vicious fights and were really traumatizing their Mom.
🥊
She was trapped at home and didn't feel she could leave them alone out of fear of what would happen. They could no longer have friends over or entertain, which they really enjoyed!
🚨
They couldn't even be walked on leashes safely! We're so grateful they reached out to the team. They enrolled in one of our specialty programs, and we quickly got to work with their personalized training plan to address the challenges.
🎓
Things were so bad that we worked virtually at first to keep everyone safe and had terrific success. Once Lady and Scrappy were ready to meet the team and stay over, we moved into their program's board and train.
🐾
The management protocols we created years ago are still in place today. Now their humans can entertain and travel once again!
📋
Lady and Scrappy's Mom shared their experience: "Of all the things I have done in my life, sending my dogs to you was one of the best things I've ever done. You completely saved our dogs from each other and have given us our life back again. All 4 of us live in peace now" - Kelly
🗣️
That is one heck of a story, and we're so thrilled to share it with you. If you are facing challenges with your pack, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help you understand what's going on and create a plan that allows you to live the fun life you envisioned having with your dogs.

Do you have questions about your puppy or socialization?
⁉️
Many people think that dog parks are the only way to socialize their puppy, but there are many other ways to safely prepare your puppy for a beautiful life.
💜
The areas to focus on during socialization really depend on your family's goals, your breed, and your dog's history.
👩‍🏫
Learning to "Speak Dog" is one of the things we focus on at to understand the motivation behind the behavior. If it is one that we don't like, we can help redirect that energy into something better for us humans.
🔮
Are you looking for a dog with free reign around the house? A puppy that can go swimming and camping with you? A dog that can be around lots of tiny humans? A dog that is a pleasure to walk on the leash?
🏆
If you need some extra help, our team is here for your family! We also have some exciting opportunities coming up soon in the area for some safe and fun social time stay tuned. Make sure you're following our page and that you have notifications on so you don't miss out!

🐕
Humans have different interpretations of body language than our 4 legged friends do.

Are you tired, or is your attention on a project from work? This will impact your training session and may be why your doggo seems "stubborn."

Dogs are eager to please their humans. Playful, upbeat energy will make the session fun and allow you to to a beautiful future.

We're celebrating Enzo and all of his amazing progress for today's !
🎉
When we first met Enzo, he was quite the bratty brother to his sister, Sam. She was very patient with Enzo, but their pawrents wanted to make sure that everyone got along and that problems didn't get worse over time.
🐶🐶
Enzo joined our and the team got to work on his manners. We focused a lot on proper play and leash skills. He is a very strong and stout boy and was pulling a lot on the leash.
🎓
After spending some time with the team and then his humans working hard to help Enzo keep leveling up his skills, we are thrilled to share that Enzo and Sam are doing great and are living their dream life.
💗
Multi-dog families have their own unique dynamic and it's important to ensure that all of the dogs and humans are working in harmony and that every being has the right tools to make the best decisions possible in every situation. If you need help with sibling rivalry or finding the right match to expand your pack, let us know. We're here to help!

"🐶🔊 Barking at things they can't see?

Dogs may be hearing something far away that we can’t detect—our senses are just not the same!

Instead of barking along with them, try redirecting their attention with cues like “Thank you” or “Leave it.”

Remember, barking isn’t necessarily a bad thing; the goal is to teach them to stop when you ask. They’re just alerting you to something different in the environment! 🐾✨"

MOLLIE is being such a good girl. Despite her wanting to run and play like a typical pup, she’s handling light duty - exercise (because of her leg) like a champ. She’s getting ready for a mini spa retreat (aka 2 week board n train) with our trainers, Lead The Way Training next Monday. Here’s a pic with her foster bro, Carlito.. Aren’t they the cutest duo?

Happy ! Today, we are sharing an amazing story from the archive and celebrating Kaitlyn and her service dog, Luke!
🐕‍🦺
We met Kaitlyn and Luke in 2018 to help show Kaitlyn and her family how to train Luke to be her service dog and help her through high school.
📚
Kaitlyn spent a lot of time learning from and working with the team. Along the way, Luke became a certified service dog.
🐾
A couple of years ago, Kaitlyn and Luke walked across the stage together at Kaitlyn's high school graduation!
🎓
Way to go, Kaitlyn, and awesome job supporting her every step of the way, Luke!

Our Story

When I opened Lead the Way Dog Training, what was always most important to me was making a huge impact on the lives of people I come in contact with. I have always found it very rewarding to see families go from the chaos and frustration of their dogs not listening, to the peace of having a dog that listens… the freedom to truly enjoy their dog. To me it’s all about that impact. We do things very differently here, and the families we get to help really love how THEY become part of our family during training. The sense of community, knowing you have people who understand you. Our clients become friends who call us when they need anything. All the trainers and staff at LTW have our own passions for dogs… rescue, service dogs, therapy dogs, obedience… and our combined passion and knowledge helps give everyone the best - for your family and for your dog! Most of all, it’s important to know that we are compassionate people and we make training your dog FUN! And it works. Give us a call and tell us all about your dog, and we’ll give you all the details about how we can help you quickly. - Love, Amy (Owner of LTW)
