OUR STORY

Hello, I'm Marie, owner and founder of Lead On. I am a qualified trainer and behaviour consultant and a licenced home boarder with a Level Three Ofqual regulated qualification in professional boarding and day care.

I was inspired to start Lead On by volunteering to walk dogs for people who were not able to get out and about due to illness or isolation.

My mission to become the trainer I am today was inspired by Olly, who had very big emotions about the world around him. This led me to study canine behaviour to help dogs with fears, phobias, trauma and reactivity, and to establish Lead On for owners looking for a more specialist boarder who offers something different to cater for your dog's needs.

In training and behaviour modification, no matter what type of support you and your dog need, you can count on us to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

Lead On is also the co founder of Superheroes' Reactivity Training where we offer concept training to help your dog learn through science based games.

I am trained in the below and have certificates available on request.
