At Follow My Lead we believe that the best pet relationships start with a strong bond and this is achieved through exercises in trust and teamwork.

I started Follow My Lead to help dog owners get the most enjoyment from their dogs, who are such a great part of our family and homes.

Throughout my 10 year career I have received personal one on one training and certification from a company in the dog training business for over 40 years and to date I have trained over 481 dogs and counting!

It is our mission to be more then just a business. Through obedience & training we strive to help families and their dogs live and share better lives together.

Do you have a challenging breed?

We are excited to share that our training schedule is back in full swing!

Our personalized In Home training programs are designed to bring out the best in both you and your dog! Check out what Beverly had to say about working with us.

“Kristine was the best. She helped train me which was far more of a challenge than training my German shepherd. She helped me communicate well with a really great dog. Would recommend her many times over. She is kind firm assertive when necessary and I felt her services were very effective. However her services are only good if you put in the work everyday. A dog owner must apply what she teaches. I love Kristine.”

-Beverly & Ellie

But we think its better you hear it from someone else!

“Thank you so much for training US and Patton. You did a wonderful job! This experience was so rewarding! You were structured, loving, and very knowledgeable in how to succeed in training a dog! You made perfect sense as to what we needed to do! You were very organized and I loved how you wrote everything down for me. (Being seniors, it meant a lot to be able to review as to how to train when you were Not there so we wouldn’t forget!). We truly can’t wait for our Advanced Class! Kudos Christine! I’m going to miss you for awhile but look forward to using your service again!”

Does your pup come when called? This skill is so important for the safety of our dogs and others. Mastering come when called provides access to a wide variety of fun activities and keeps your pup out of trouble in almost any situation. The reality is that even if you never plan to have your dog off his leash, things can and do happen. By establishing these behaviors early and often when an accident does occur having a reliable come when called in place could very well save your pups life.

Does your home have a command center?

Having a designated area (command center) for pet behavior and training activities in your home is critical. This area is a necessity when looking to correct many of our dogs most challenging in home behaviors. For example, did you know that setting up and working in your command center can help your dog greet guests without all of that explosive energy, jumping and barking? It can also be used to help solidify the stay command and reinforce the boundaries you have established for your pet!

To learn how you and your pup can leverage the command center right now to help correct these behaviors visit our website and schedule a call today!

Have you mastered sit and stay?

These two commands are critical when it comes to having a well behaved dog. Whether it is outside, off-leash or just meeting someone new having a dog that can consistently perform sit and stay is so important for the safety of our pets and others.

Our personalized one-on-one training programs are designed specifically for our client’s unique situations. By being proactive and preventing unwanted behaviors before they start you can save time and money! Don't just take our word for it; see what Tasha had to say about working with us!

"We met with Kristine a couple of years ago to see what her recommendation was for training Charlie, our 8 month old lab. We knew when getting a lab that they can be stubborn and a little wild. We let Kristine know our needs and wants for Charlie and she came up with a six week plan for him. I can definitely say that it was well worth the time and money spent! Charlie is obedient and never went through the typical “lab” things that we were warned of. No doubt that this was due to training with Kristine!"

Thinking about adding puppy to the family? We love helping our clients get started off on the right paw! Our puppy programs are 1 on 1 in-home training sessions that are convenient, effective and fun! Don't just take our word for it see what Emily had to say about working with us!

"Our family first became interested in dog training when we got our bloodhound puppy! My husband was just getting ready to go on deployment and we have two young boys. We did a lot of research on the breed which outlines some of their stubborn behaviors, so we wanted to make sure to nip some of those breed traits before they became ingrained. I wanted to make sure Hickory was well mannered, comfortable around other dogs, children, and adults, and could understand the boundaries we set for her. We gave Kristine a call and she set up a plan that worked perfect for us and allowed us to train Hickory in our own environment from the comfort of home. We LOVED Kristine! She exceeded every expectation and made sure to involve the entire family in Hickory’s training. The skills she taught us we will be able to carry to all future furry members of our family! I would highly recommend Kristine to anyone looking to build a healthy relationship with their pets!"

MEET THE TRAINER:

Hi, my name is Kristine!

My story began when we decided to get our first family dog. My husband had recently retired from 20 years of Army service, and we had just move to Alabama from DC. Now that we were finally putting down roots and no longer moving, we felt ready for this new adventure.

We chose a West Highland White Terrier puppy we named Holly. Growing up with Westies as a child, I knew a little about the breed. Holly was full of energy, was not housebroken, was very possessive over people and toys, and barked non stop when people came to our home. She definitely took over our household. We needed help!

That was when I was first introduced to the in-home dog training concept. This type of training focused on working with dogs in their own familiar environment. It gave us the tools we needed not only to train Holly to be obedient, but to correct and manage her bad behaviors. It wasn't long before we were in charge and Holly understood what we expected and happily followed the boundaries we had established through training.

Not long after, I was hired to do PR work by the company that trained Holly and I. Within a year the company had an opening for a trainer. With my love of dogs and a desire to help other families have the same success we did with Holly, I was ready to further my education in training. I went through a two year apprenticeship and received my certification at the end of that time. So began my dog training career!

Now 10 years and 370 dogs later I've dedicated my life to helping others achieve meaningful relationships with their dogs. If you're ready to take the next step and see what personalized in-home dog training can do for you click call now or visit our website at www.followmyleadtraining.com
