We absolutely love this place. If you are looking for a place to love and care for your fur baby for a few hours or even a few days look no further. They are the best. We have done classes which were so informative and helped us learn so much about different stages puppies go through and how to best train. Grooming is always spot on and daycare is amazing. Our frenchie doesn’t want to leave, she has so much fun with her friends! Lisa and All of the front desk staff are so wonderful. We love love love it here

We have had our two dogs at Leader of the Pack since they were in the Puppy Manners classes. We love the daycare to tire them out, and wouldn’t kennel them anywhere else. The staff all know my pups and greets them like they are special every time we arrive. Couldn’t recommend them more!

We have been taking our dog to Leader of the Pack now for almost a full year. We can comfortably say they are the best in the Valley for day care, grooming, boarding, and even training! We took our puppy there first for obedience school, and we were thrilled with the results. Even during COVID times, we felt we had a great experience with the trainers, and always felt that precautions were taken. We usually leave our dog at daycare multiple days a week, and love that we can check in on him via their webcams online during the day. Our dog has so much fun at daycare playing with dogs his size! Often times a staff member will let us know how he did during his day at LOPCI, and this is greatly appreciated. Their in house grooming is second to none, and you can’t beat the convenience of it. When we have to board our dog, we always feel peace of mind knowing he’s well taken care of. I can’t imagine going anywhere else for our dog!

Leader of the Pack has been a part of our family for the past 10 years. Their training classes are invaluable to help you find balance. Daycare is such an awesome experience for the pups. Both of our dogs use daycare. Their tails start wagging the minute we say we are going! Lois is the best groomer. She knows each and every pup. She truly cares

LOPCI has been an extremely reliable and helpful service time and time again. I take my dogs there regularly for day care and feel completely confident they will be safe and cared for. It’s been a great way to keep my dogs socialized. I’ve been very happy with their grooming and training services as well. Highly recommend!

We brought our (at the time) 4-month old golden doodle puppy to LOPCI for their "Puppy Training and Socialization" classes and we LOVED it. The training team was fantastic and taught us many useful commands, tips and tricks to help keep our puppy trained even after classes were over. I would highly recommend them!

Leader of the Pack is such a great facility. Both our dogs have graduated from their puppy classes. We left with such knowledge to keep our dogs confident, content and safe. The staff is so caring and so knowledgeable. We also use their daycare. Our dog is well socialized and exhausted when she comes home. It’s really a one stop shop for us. From classes to daycare and we get her food there. Highly recommend LOPCI!

Leader of the Pack is a great daycare, boarding, training and grooming facility. Our dog has gone through their puppy and adult training programs. He also goes there once or twice a week for daycare as well as boarding and to get nail trims. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and really get to know everyone’s dogs. Plus, they have live webcams so you can watch your dog play all day!

They are fabulous! We have a Blue Heeler named CUJO, who went to puppy classes and attends puppy day care. He is a different dog. He trained easily but needed the socialization to learn to get along with other dogs. The staff, Lisa, Tommy, Ashley are all very knowledgeable and excellent in training and caring for the dogs. We love it there and would never consider anywhere else. I highly recommend them. You won’t be sorry!
Response from Leader of the Pack Canine Institute LLC
"Hi [Member Name Removed]. Thank you for wonderful review. We absolutely love Cujo and your family has done such a great job with him becoming a happy and balanced dog. We truly appreciate your patronage and support."

Leader Of The Pack is a fantastic place to take your fur babies. I have utilize their service for boarding, grooming, training and daycare usually 3 to 4 times a week. They offer full day and half-day sessions of daycare. All I have to do is tell my dog that she’s going to go play with her friends and she absolutely freaks out. She loves it! She comes home excited but within 10 minutes is sleeping because she had so much fun. Their training program starts with showing you how to train your dog and the importance of everyone in the house training the same way. Before we took our Labrador to Leader Of The Pack for training, all five of us in the house were teaching her things a different way and we totally confused her. They taught us as well as our dog. I recommend them highly!

My dog was almost two years old when adopted. He spent most of that time in shelters. While out walking he would become very aggressive when other dogs approached. LOPCI was recommended and their trainer, Lisa MacDonald, was outstanding! She recognized that my dog was not aggressive but had no socialization skills around other dogs. She worked with me and my dog to learn methods to deal with this problem while out walking and also worked with him in the daycare on getting along with other dogs off leash. We now enjoy our walks and still use the daycare a couple days a week. When boarding him I leave knowing he will be happy, loved and well cared for.

We took our dog to Leader of the Pack Canine Institute to the six-week obedience training course after having enjoyed their dog daycare services for several weeks now. We've been to multiple dog daycare and boarding facilities up and down the southwest and midwest states a few years back, and I have never seen such a structured and professional take on open pack play for dogs then I have at LOPCI. The training session was 100% beneficial to our dog and us as pet owners. We learned so much about canine communication and positive/affirmative reinforcement. I highly recommend the services of LOPCI as we look to attend more advanced obedience training courses and continue to take our pup to daycare.

Very well. As it has with all my dogs. LOPCI are all professionals. Front staff, daycare staff, grooming staff, all of them very professional, always helpful, they go about e and beyond helping the dogs and their parents with whatever is needed. They take the time to listen.

The evaluation process was very good. Staff was very curious and informative. Once I brought my dogs in for daycare the staff also knew exactly who they were (good memories). They groomed my Rottweiler and trimmed my Frenchies nails. I was very happy with the groom and the nails were perfect. I signed my Frenchie up for the puppy class starting soon and can't wait!
