Take the Lead K9 Training

"Creating Calm Dogs in a Crazy World"

Hi guys - thanks for visiting my page! I hope you find it helpful with dog training tips as well as educational regarding balanced training! Take the Lead K9 Training is a Board & Train dog training service in Central Florida, focusing on obedience, behavior modification, and socialization. Dogs have a language all of their own and my goal is to help owners b

ridge the gap in communication. With a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, I understand that the first step to strengthening our relationship with our dogs is understanding what they are telling us, but most importantly what we REALLY have been saying to them. At Take the Lead we focus on creating balanced relationships with humans and dogs through leadership, obedience, behavior modification, and socialization. Behavior problems develop from a lack of structure and leadership in the relationship between humans and their dogs. Take the Lead K9 Training provides a detailed look at what makes a functional and relaxed home environment for the entire family. The first step to changing your dog's behavior is understanding that your behavior will have to change, too! Everything we do speaks something to our dog, and it is important for us to understand that we influence both the good and bad behaviors that we see. The key to creating a successful dog-human relationship is that the training you learn continue to be applied, even after our sessions are over-- think of dog training as not a set of tricks, but a continuous lifestyle, and you will have a great relationship with your dog. You CAN have the dog you've always wanted-- they are always ready for us to take the lead! If you're in Florida and need help with your dog, or would like to talk from anywhere in the country, please visit my website www.taketheleadk9training.com to see the different service and rates that we offer! Please contact me with any questions! I look forward to hearing from you!
