About Lead the Way K9 Training & Boarding , LLC.

Balanced relationships, full-service property

Lead the Way K9 Training serves the Delaware, OH area from a "5-acre property designed specifically for your dog's comfort and training needs." The philosophy centers on "creating balanced relationships between humans and dogs through leadership, obedience, and socialization," framing it as a structured, leadership-based program rather than a class-only model.

Board-and-train plus boarding amenities

The core offering is obedience training through 2-week and 7-10 day board-and-train programs, supported by dog boarding in climate-controlled facilities, doggy daycare, and grooming, so a dog can be trained and cared for under one roof. The family-owned business notes it is licensed and insured. The site contact goes to "Josh" but doesn't name a head trainer formally, and it lists no certifications or years in business. The clearest fit here is an owner who wants an immersive live-in obedience program with boarding and grooming conveniences attached.

What they can help with

Sit, stay, recall and reliable commands, from beginner to advanced.

Darby always has the best time at Lead The Way K9 Training & Boarding. We initially enrolled her in their board-and-train program, and since then she has returned several times for long weekends and vacations.

I can't thank the team enough. Darby is naturally an anxious dog, but I always feel completely confident leaving her in their care. The staff genuinely understands her needs, and it's clear from how excited she is to be there that she's having a great time.

It's incredibly difficult to find a boarding facility that cares for your dog as if they were their own. That's exactly what we've found here. Even after moving closer to the city, I'll gladly make the drive because I know Darby is receiving exceptional care and attention.

Highly recommend Lead The Way K9 to anyone looking for a trustworthy place for training or boarding.

This is such an awesome dog day care/ grooming place! Owner and all the staff are so friendly. They have quick response times on text, call or email (within the hour or less). They send me the cutest photos of my dog Maple throughout the day🥰 Very affordable and reasonable pricing for both grooming and day care.

We started our journey with Lead the Way over a year ago when we moved to Delaware. We took our pup Bleu there for the board and train program which was excellent. Since then, we have used Lead the Way for all of our boarding and daycare needs.

Fast forward to today, our boy had the BEST full grooming service to date! We won’t be going anywhere else!

Thank you to Josh, Brittany and the entire team for always taking such good care of Bleu!

We can’t say enough good things about Lead the Way K9 Training and Boarding.
We’ve gone through training and have been boarding our dogs for the last 4 years when we’re on vacation. The staff are always professional and have such passion and dedication for all the pups in their care. We have had zero issues over many years and ALWAYS pick up clean happy dogs! A huge peace of mind for a dog owner ☺️

I have been taking my fur babies to Lead the Way for 2 years now and have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience. Handing your pups over to others when you are away from home is a very difficult thing to do. It used to be hard for me to enjoy my time away but Lead the Way has changed that. I receive pictures of my pups every time and it always puts a smile on my face to see how much fun they were having. The whole staff is friendly, attentive and great with flexibility and communication.
