About me

It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. As a small business with 20+ years experience, we pride ourselves on personal attention and dedication to every detail. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence.

My name is Jennifer Reed CTB ccs- IPDTA -CDT. I share my life with my beautiful 10 month old rescue fur baby Darla ❤️ 

I am a certified professional trainer offering affordable rates and customized plans. I come to you for your training needs, ensuring professional, personal results! 

It all began in Guelph, Ontario , 25 years ago with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion for dogs and a desire to teach instead of punish!

I had a thriving and successful business in Guelph which offered a minimum 12 group classes per week, agility play classes, Fundraiser Friday play groups, private consultations, dog daycare and grooming along with a retail store.

If I was not busy enough I was a dementia educator/PSW, implementing a successful bring your pet to work and pet therapy program at Schlegel village nursing home in Guelph.

As a small business starting over in Hamilton, Ontario, Leader of the Pack Touch-free Dog Training prides itself on personal attention and dedication to every detail.

After losing my loves about 7 years ago, I gave up my practice. I was completely heartbroken losing Shadow (18) and Salem (16) within 2 weeks of eachother.💔..

Missing having a dog in my life, I adopted Darla. This has fueled a renewed passion for training, making life better for dogs, families and the community! Now I'm rebuilding my business here in Hamilton! 

Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence.
