Both of my dogs have been members at LECA for just about 1 year now. The change in their behavior and obedience is amazing. My crazy sibling pups are always full of energy and the program at LECA helps them burn off some of that energy while incorporating training and enrichment activities. The entire staff are truly great and will always act in the best interest of your dog.

Amazing, amazing work. These folks are the true pros. Forget Rover, Wag, big box corporate trainers, etc. Troubled, abused, anxious, neurotic, fearful dogs all walk in these doors and transform before walking out. LECA are miracle workers.
I brought my own dog here when we rescued him: Reactive, separation anxiety, and very quick to the Fight of the four F's. After very little time here, he was more self-assured and comfortable not only around other people, but dogs.
When we first adopted him, he was leash reactive and would begin barking and lunging at people even down the road. Now we can take him to dog parks without worrying. Do the math on that. LECA had a big impact there, not only in training him, but in training me in how to properly handle him and remain consistent.
I work in the pet care industry myself — My own certified pet care company. I have used LECA in the past for leash manners training, am attending their First Aid course this upcoming Fall, and will be putting my senior employees through it as well.
The only real drawback is their pricing. Make no mistake: You get what you pay for, and miracles are expensive. But they charge what they do because they know it works.
This is where I refer people to when they have nowhere else to go, no more hope left, and/or my own company can't help them. LECA are the top of the class. It doesn't get better.

Can't speak highly enough of the team at LECA. Between the training and the care, knowing your pup is the hands of true professionals is a massive relief. The quality of the facility, the attention to detail by the staff, and the very clear passion for our canine companions, is unrivaled. Loki is the best dog I've ever had, and I give all the credit to LECA.

Shea has been going to LECA for over a year. I started sending him as a one year old to the school program so that he could learn proper play with other dogs and get more socialization. Through the leash manners group class, one on one sessions with the trainers, and the willingness of the staff to always answer any question I have, Shea and I have both learned so much more than that. The way he runs to the car when I tell him he is going to school is a testament to how much he loves LECA, and how much they love on your dog.

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!
