Video of Jena, Radar and boarding dog, Major, sharing the big bed chewing their bones peacefully.

Its never to late to start if your dog has an issue give me a call.
The earlier the better though.🐾🐾

A Boarding dog, Major, with us at Lead Me. I make sure they all get along. They normally all become a pack because my dogs are amazing. No resource guarding here. Each dog has their own bone, chewing peacefully laying on the same bed!

I was pleasantly surprised to received this text this morning from a client who has a 7 mo old male doodle. Day Care Saturday for a couple of hours with me before boarding overnight for his first time. All boarders do a Meet and Greet first and normally a Day Care to get them comfortable with me and my pack of two, Jena and Radar.
Sunday Rip came in the morning, stayed Monday night and picked up Tuesday morning. I really didn't do obedience training, but worked on much needed house manners. I did not expect such remarkable change for such a short time, but the owners said it made a difference!

"Rip has been such a completely different dog since staying with you in all the best ways. He listens so much better already and we've been working really hard on our holds on waiting and moving away. Also behavior wise with our oldest is so different and he has had only 2 minor excited accidents since being home." -Client 1/18/25
