Both of my dogs (Buddy and Lucy) have attended class, daycare, and have been groomed at LOPCI. Everybody there is so helpful and goes out of their way for you/your pups. We will be boarding our dogs for our wedding in the end of May; and I can’t imagine leaving them anywhere else!

We had rescued our pup at four months old. We were on and off debating if we should start training. We took Bear to Leader of the Pack Institute and enrolled him in their Adult Beginner class (as he was over 6months). The class absolutely exceeded my expectations. The trainers went above and beyond to help guide me and properly train my dog. They even offered an at home training day if he needed it. During this class, my pup started resource guarding… which can be scary. So after a class, I spoke to Lisa (owner) and her advice was life changing and I’m so grateful for that. As we continue on to the next course Adult 2, we will definitely be continuing our training with Leader of the Pack. Thank you for everything you have done for us and the thousands of others moving forward.

John And Lisa MacDonald are a fantastic team. They’re very knowledgeable, and thorough. They listened to our situation and left us with confidence and tools and dog exercises to work with. Our dogs already benefitted from our interaction with them.

Clover and I just finished the adult beginner class and I’d recommend to it anyone thinking about it. Aside from commands, they go over the whys and hows of training. So you’re set up to continue working with your dog outside of the program. Tommy and his assistants were always available before and after class for questions and extra help.

We enrolled our new rescue into the adult dog basic training class as he knew no commands, except for "sit", just 2.5 months ago. This class has given us such a boost and it has also given us great hope that our new, four legged love can be trained as we all learn together, bringing the best out in each other, to be a great pack!! Jason is an amazing instructor! We completely trust and respect his professional opinion and his in depth knowledge of dogs and of training dogs. He and his assistants, Haley and Shane were all so wonderful! They were very kind, helpful, encouraging and patient with us and with our "Buddie"! We are so grateful to all of them! I highly recommend Leader of the Pack! They are truly a God-send and they absolutely live up to their name!

Our puppy Ellie completed her puppy training classes today and I just had to leave a review! The staff was awesome. Jason was super knowledgeable and really helped us out whenever we had any extra questions at the end. The girls who assisted were just as awesome. Big shout out to Casey (sorry if i didn’t spell it right) we were sad we didn’t get to see her this last class but she was great with Ellie. Seriously i can’t say enough how much we appreciated this experience and we can’t wait to go back and do daycare & adult school! Thank you so much!

Leader of the Pack is an amazing place. We just completed the six week adult beginner training course and it exceeded expectations. The facility is welcoming and the trainers are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. It was nice to work with individuals who have a true passion for the work they do. Our dog Sassy worked hard and in the end is a whole new dog. We are beyond appreciative for the work this place does. If you are ever in doubt, don’t be. Leader of the Pack is the way to go! Thanks for all you do.

Staff is superior! Our dog went in pretty matted and came out totally handsome. For going on 10 years old, his coat was shiny and beautiful!

I have nothing but positive feedback regarding the services and staff at Leader Of The Pack (L.O.P.) I highly recommend their services.I have worked with them on multiple occasions including basic training services for puppy and adult dogs, consultation in advance of adopting and integrating a new dog into our home, and consultation and training to identify the causes of and address escalating aggressive behavior between our dogs.In all instances, the owners (Lisa and John McDonald) and their staff have been knowledgeable, effective and insightful. Courteous and Friendly. The basic training classes I attended focus on positive reinforcement training of basic commands for the dogs and education of the owner on effective practices to maintain a balanced Pack with the human at the top. The trainers in the various classes have always run professional, effective and fun sessions.I want to particularly call out my most recent interaction with L.O.P as I am so grateful to the McDonalds. Aggression between my two dogs escalated to three occasions in as many months which required veterinary care. When I called L.O.P. to consult, I received a call to discuss the problem same day, including advice on some immediate actions and changes in our routine. An in-home consult was quickly available. Their insights, observations, strategizing and guidance were invaluable, and their presence was professional yet kind, calm and assuring.L.O.P is not only a great business with great services, it is also owned and staffed by absolutely wonderful , kind and caring people.

Took Adult I Obedience Training with my dog. Excellent program and very well structured. Jason was patient, consistent, and thorough as he and the other trainers guided us through understanding how to train and get good results. Highest recommendation for training.

I can not say enough good things about my experience here. Lisa came out to our house to evaluate my situation, I was having trouble with the dogs in my house, she was very informative, she then helped us rehome our puppy which was one of the hardest things we have ever done. She was kind , nonjudgemental, and patient with us. We ended up relinquishing the dog to her so that she could get him a good home with out all the emotion we had going on. With in a week she had found a home and our pup is now in a good home with good people. Lisa thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do to help animals , not just mine but all of the animals you have helped over the years !!

Our puppy Indy just loves it there. In fact, she occasionally pouts on days we don't take her. Half the time she wins. They are all wonderful and we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Loki just loved coming to class every week. We learned so much from Jason and his assistants. We are planning to attend another class in January!
