RESULTS
Real Dogs. Real Environments. Real Reliability.
For over seven years, Follow My Lead has helped dogs and their owners move from chaos to clarity — from reactivity to reliability — in real-world environments.
These are not staged obedience drills.
These are measurable, lived results.
When Training Protects What Matters Most
The Situation:
A family discovered their gate had been left open at night. Their dog was loose in the dark.
The Result:
They called once.
“We started yelling ‘Toby, here!’ and the recall training worked. He came barreling to us. Worth every penny.”
— Jordan Causey, 2022
Training is not theoretical. It is insurance when it counts.
From Multi-Dog Chaos to Calm Control
The Situation:
Two dogs were difficult to manage — reactive, hard to walk, overwhelming in daily routines.
The Result:
Structured training changed the atmosphere of the entire home.
“It was difficult to even take them outside… now I’m walking them and actually enjoying it. We walked past another dog without any struggle at all. The change in our home is phenomenal.”
— Jody Monroe, 2025
This is lifestyle transformation.
Reactive & Aggressive Rescue Rehabilitation
The Situation:
A rescued dog showed aggression and instability.
The Result:
Clear structure and guidance rebuilt stability.
“She responded almost immediately… she is so much better with everyone she meets now.”
— Don Louser, 2023
Service Dog Development & Advanced Task Work
The Situation:
A client required structured task training and real-world exposure.
The Result:
Advanced reliability across complex environments.
“Laundry basket pulling, compression therapy, grocery store mobility cart work, airport exposure… I now have a well-trained dog and get compliments all the time.”
— Lacey Fox, 2025
Training extended beyond obedience into purposeful partnership.
Shelter & Special Needs Work
The Situation:
A deaf dog at a local shelter was struggling to find placement.
The Result:
Clear communication and structured learning created opportunity.
“Within one hour she had her sitting, walking on leash, and not jumping. Laura gave this dog a real chance at a forever home.”
— Beth Anas, 2019
Fear-Based Rescue Transformation
The Situation:
A rescue dog with trust issues and fear-based responses.
The Result:
Confidence rebuilt through structured exposure.
“My dog had major trust issues and fear of many things. Now he has little to no fear of strangers and rides comfortably in the car.”
— Steve Stack, 2020
Owner Leadership & Confidence
The Situation:
Owners unsure how to communicate effectively.
The Result:
Clarity in leadership and relationship.
“She built up confidence in Chewie — and in me as well.”
— Kathy Janes Marsala, 2020
Training the human changes everything.
AKC Certification & Structured Advancement
The Situation:
A rambunctious puppy with high energy.
The Result:

The common thread is not just obedience.
It is structure, clarity, and resilient partnership.
