We found LECA through its Thursday puppy socials, knowing how crucial proper socialization was for our 13-week-old, under-socialized puppy mill rescue. From the start, LECA provided the perfect mix of socialization, enrichment, and training.
With a hyper-energetic, highly intelligent, and sensitive Australian Shepherd, we wanted to ensure she had positive experiences while also satisfying her natural drive to “work.” LECA has been instrumental in making that happen.
Beyond socials, we’ve taken several classes to become better dog guardians and help our pup overcome her early socialization deficits—especially her fears. The team truly cares, always listening to our feedback and tailoring their approach to our dog’s needs.
Our biggest win? Addressing her leash reactivity early on and helping her grow into a more confident dog.
But don’t just take our word for it—her happy smile in the photos says it all! The LECA staff are some of her favorite people.
Big shoutout to Max, Liz, Xavier, Ryan, Justin, and Ally!

My 2 year old Husky has been going to LECA’s day school for the last 4 months and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done for her! The facilities at LECA are immaculate. There are many indoor and outdoor areas for group training and play as well as areas for dogs to work one on one with the trainers. Every day she is given quality attention by the trainers; she learns and plays with other dogs. She comes home each day tired and happy from a day of mental and physical stimulation. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I know I am leaving her in the best possible care when I leave her at LECA. Included with our monthly membership we can reserve access to their enormous indoor agility space. Also included with our membership, my dog is enrolled in additional training classes at LECA for obedience and agility where the trainers teach me how to continue working on skills at home with my dog. I could not be happier with my experience at LECA and recommend it to everyone I know.

Thank you LECA Academy for making our journey a successful one! With your diligence, professional training, compassion and overall 5 star support, we were able to over come all of the hurdles after we rescued our pup! We are forever grateful to the amazing trainers and staff that put in the work with this guy! He was next to be euthanized before we rescued him. He was a reactive and anxious dog with a ton of energy that he didn’t know how to use. With your help he has become a loving, loyal, well mannered companion. We never thought we would be able to go on a walk without fear of him reacting. Now we are able to walk wherever we want as well as bring him places with our family. He can also play with other pups nicely as well. He has truly over come so much! We cannot thank the staff at LECA enough! We wouldn’t recommend anyone else for your pups needs!!

We have been going to LECA for two months now to help our dog build confidence and combat separation anxiety. While we still have work to do, we are very very happy with LECA! Their approach and knowledge of dogs is terrific and we feel so comfortable leaving our pup there. LECA offers so much for their price, so it’s completely worth every penny. We are seeing progress every week and not to mention, our dog is obsessed with going! We absolutely love LECA and recommend it to anyone who needs some extra support from the experts!
