Hi, I'm Rob Russell and I am the owner of Take The Lead. My whole focus in dog training is to give YOU the tools you need to teach your dog to thrive. My philosophy is pretty simple. If I teach your dog to stop barking, jumping on people, pulling on the leash or reacting to other dogs, they will learn to take their cues from me. If I give you the tools, they will take their cues from YOU. I believe in creating a harmonious relationship between dog and owner. I do it by combining positive reinforcement with clear, consistent, communication. Your dog will learn appropriate behavior while respecting you as an owner.
