“When we moved to Florida, Pippi, my strong-willed border collie, was too much for me. Then we found Kelsey. After her five-week board and train, Pippi came home happy, relaxed, and easier to handle. The weekly alumni classes taught me how to meet her needs, and now I feel confident walking her. I’ve even made wonderful friends along the way. Kelsey has changed my life and given me great joy with my dog.”

I never thought I would have such a well behaved dog until I met Kelsey from Lead Change Dog. Through day training, obedience classes, nose work, agility and even tricks classes, Luna has become my dream dog! I truly enjoy putting in the work to make her the dog I want because I actually see results.

Kelsey is an incredible trainer who truly knows her stuff. From home manners, AKC sports, bite sports, and building a better bond with your dog, she’s your girl. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, holds both dogs and handlers to a high standard, and always knows how to set you up for success. What I appreciate most is how she teaches you to have fun with your dog and truly play with them, which makes your relationship so much stronger.

Teddy has been attending group classes and the change for better in him has been absolutely amazing! He’s so happy, much calmer and able to focus. Which in turn made me all of those things as well. We have fun together again which was something I really missed. Through Kelsey’s classes I’ve discovered Teddy loves scent work.
— Christina & Teddy
Kelsey is an exceptional dog trainer, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She has a natural gift with dogs and handles them with such confidence, skill, and care. Our dog responded to her immediately, and we saw noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. Kelsey’s approach is thoughtful, effective, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality.

HANDS ON OWNERS
PRIVATE LESSONS
Not every dog needs a board & train. In private lessons, we teach you how to train your dog and work through the problem behaviors you're dealing with at home.
​
There's no magic wand: your results come from your time and consistency, and we'll give you the plan and support to make it happen.
Board & Train or Private Lessons?
Both paths get great results. The difference is who does the day-to-day training.
With board & train, your dog lives and trains with Kelsey every day while you practice together on weekends, so your dog comes home with solid skills and you know exactly how to keep them going. It’s a great fit for busy families, bigger goals, or anyone who wants reliable on- and off-leash obedience.
With private lessons, you hold the leash and Kelsey coaches you through every step. They’re perfect if you have a specific problem to solve and you love being hands-on, as long as you can practice between sessions.
