Our dog Maisie started going to Leader of the Pack Canine Institute in October, 2024. On our first visit, the owner Lisa, gave me a tour of their beautiful facility. It was apparent to me how much thought was put into planning for the dogs, their owners, and their employees. Maisie’s first experience was in their day care. They have four large well equipped rooms all with their own outdoor space. Maisie loves going and gets to socialize with all kinds of dogs. The dogs are all evaluated before attending. We then boarded her for a week and had a complete spa groom on the last day so she was nice and relaxed when we picked her up. Their groomer Bella is willing to do anything to please. I can’t say enough about the staff and the work they do with the dogs.

I wish I would have found this place with my first dog. They are so welcoming, understanding, and willing to help with all your dog training needs. They truly take the time to listen and make sure all questions and concerns are addressed. I can't wait to take more classes. My 9month old pup also loves when she gets to go to daycare!

We love leader of the pack! June just graduated adult beginner and the class was awesome, as was Tommy. Very informative. June also goes to daycare regularly and comes home happy and tired after playing with all her friends. We also use them for boarding. Would highly recommend!

LOPCI is my dog's Happy Place. Jake is almost finished with puppy class, and he's spent 2 days of boarding at LPCI as well as his first grooming appointment. A full-service facility with caring, experienced staff. My dog doesn't want to leave and everyone there gets lots of puppy kisses from Jake. Do yourself and your dog a favor and check out LOPCI. They are 1st class in staff, facility, knowledge, and training. As humans, we self-care, with exercise, eating right, massage, travel, etc. Dogs have their own unique needs and LPCI understands how a canine thinks and what they need to be emotionally and physically balanced and calm.

Being in this industry myself, there’s is absolutely NO WHERE else I would take my dogs for daycare and boarding, this is facility is one of the best and more advanced I’ve experienced, and I can’t say enough about the staff and professionalism. Amazing caring people.

We greatly enjoy bringing Rye to doggie day care and the staff there is great. Always available to answer questions when needed and display affection and care to all the dogs. I have also gone through the puppy socialization obedience class and the team displayed expertise in training and offered great resources. I highly recommend Leader of the Pack.

We just completed Adult beginner dog training. It was a wonderful experience! I learned what it means to become pack leader and as a result Gus has become more confident and much better behaved. I actually enjoy walking him on our pack walks every day! The trainers were so kind, encouraging and compassionate and got to know each of us and our dynamic so that they could personally help guide all of us to succeed. Highly recommend for all of your needs!

Friendly caring and great training and boarding.

We have used Leader of the Pack for boarding and day care and our dog drags us into the facility! We like the CCTV availability to watch his interaction with staff and other dogs! This new facility is very convenient, clean, and offers training as well as grooming! Our Kai highly recommends Leader of the Pack!

We started using John and Lisa's services in 2010, when we adopted Sadie, a Rescue dog who had reactivity issues. Since then, we have used LOPCI to train 2 additional rescues. Sadie came to us with a multitude of issues. She was reactive to dogs and people, highly anxious and impossible to walk. With the help and dedication of both of them, we are able to walk her in public areas. She has also learned to play with our newest adoptee, something that I had doubts about when we were considering bringing a new dog into our household. But because of Lisa, I knew what traits to look for and how to pick a compatible companion for Sadie. From the day we brought the puppy home, Lisa worked with and guided us in how to introduce and acclimate the two together. Sadie now plays like a dog, enjoying herself with her new brother, Bowser, something I feared she would never learn. We also use the boarding facilities several times a year and daycare for our puppy. I love being able to watch Bowser play (thanks to the Webcams) during my lunch. I never have any concerns about leaving my dogs in LOPCI's care. Lois is a fantastic groomer and has always done a great job with our dogs. Our newest rescue, Bowser, went through the puppy class and Adult 1 training with Megan, who is equally pleasant and competent. This is not a business that is just in it for the money. The staff truly does love dogs and care for their clients--both human and canine.

Can’t say enough good things about LOPCI! We’ve been taking our 11 year old Pug Mason there for 10+ years. Started off with puppy training and continued using all their wonderful services throughout the years. We’d be lost without them. Recommend them highly!

A few years ago I reviewed LOPCI and gave them 5 stars. I can honestly say they still earn a 5-star rating. We rescued our Lab in 2014 and realized we needed training help. There were 5 people in our house and we all did things differently. Needless to say, our puppy became very confused. LOPCI not only trained her, they trained us. We all went to class and learned 1 way to teach her things. She is so smart! We started taking her to Daycare not long after training class. She is a high energy pup and needs the interaction with her friends. We have used their boarding services also with absolutely no complaints. The staff is AWESOME!!! My baby even gets her nails done and teeth brushed there!

I love leader of the pack! I first brought my dog Sarah here to work on leash reactivity with the trainer Lisa. Then Lisa recommended I start the adult beginner class with Tommy to further build my dog's confidence and socialization skills. I am so glad I did this class. I would highly recommend coming here. My experiences with Lisa, Tommy and all the staff here have been great. You can tell that they love what they do and that they "speak dog". I have learned so much about how to "speak dog" too. I have learned skills on how to be a better pack leader for my dog, and before coming here I didn't even know what that meant or why it was important. I am now bringing my dog here for daycare and hope to start intermediate class in the winter. Thank you LOPCI for all that you do, you are the best.

I have a Samoyed show dog and Gabby grooms him. She is a really nice and sweet person, who is the same way with the dogs she grooms. She does an outstanding job grooming him. I couldn’t be happier!

We love LOTP!! Delilah gets excited just pulling into the parking lot. The staff is wonderful....always friendly, helpful, and fun! We trust them with our Delilah and know she's enjoying her time with both her canine and human friends.

I've been using LOPCI for daycare and boarding my dogs for almost 2 years now and we've had nothing but great experiences! I had Archie in beginner classes when he was a puppy and the class was very helpful. Archie barked during the entire class and for every class, but the staff never got frustrated or was annoyed with him interrupting. Now I use LOPCI for boarding and Archie and Lana are always so excited to go in and play with the other dogs. I love that they can also get Frosty Paws or a Kong during their stay. The staff are all extremely nice and helpful with answering any questions I have. There was a time when Archie had a wound healing on his nose and it opened up while playing. They called me to let me know and that they put him aside so his nose can start to heal again. They also pulled a tick once from under Lana's belly while she was boarding. Knowing that they are paying close attention to my dogs even when there are literally dozens there at times, makes me feel more confident in the care they are receiving.

We love Leader of the Pack! The work family of staff is simply that, a family. And the staff treat my Stewie as their own. They are the best all around facility and service for your dog, period.

We are LOPCI super fans! Our 7 year old Labradoodle Stella is well taken care of - whether she is there for boarding, for daycare, or for grooming. The staff is friendly and they get to know your dog and your family. It often feels like the bar "Cheers" when you arrive. We highly recommend Lois for grooming - she does a great job!
