About Follow My Lead Dog Trainers

Structured group classes in Kenai

Follow My Lead Dog Trainers runs group classes on Baleen Avenue in Kenai, built around "clear, structured, and practical instruction in a supportive group setting." Classes are progressive pathways that build week to week, with a focus on real-world skills at home, on walks and in public. The team is led by lead instructor Ashley Young, a certified Pet Trainer who has been training professionally since 2015 and competes in AKC Conformation, Rally and Field tests with her German Shorthaired Pointers. Her focus is teaching owners to set consistent boundaries and expectations while adding fun to training. An associate instructor and two instructor assistants help run classes.
