ABOUT US

We are Lead by Love Dog Care!

Steve & Mary Berthiaume

We are Steve and Mary: passionate, compassionate, and skilled dog trainers who help owners develop and maintain a healthier, more relaxed, and enjoyable relationship with their dogs. Our business is truly a Mom and Pop operation that is completely run by just the two of us in our home.

I handle the  training side, and Mary manages our website, keeps our records straight, and assists with occasional walks and feeding. Mostly though, she just plays with the dogs and keeps them happy. I also work with the owners, both before and after their dog's training, to assess the dogs needs and help them find the best solutions to whatever dog behavioral problems they are encountering. We have developed many transformational training programs and will help you select the best one for you and your dog.
To learn more about us, please check out our programs and allow us to meet you and your dog.

About you and your dog

I know living with a new dog or especially a puppy can be supper frustrating and stressful. I am confident that I can help you and your dog to have a more calm and joy filled relationship.

We would love to help you transform your dog into the faithful friend you've always wanted. One of the joys we can't get enough of is watching people understand how to communicate better with their dogs and seeing the amazing results.

"We would highly recommend Steve as a dog trainer. We brought our dog Riley home after 14 days with Steve and what a difference. We rescued Riley from an animal shelter and quickly discovered that Riley's previous owners had allowed him to develop a couple of bad habits. After time with Steve, Riley is much more obedient and follows our commands. We were also delighted that Steve took time to teach us how to handle our dog after training."

"Lead By Love Dog Care is great for so many reasons, but some of my favorite are that it's close to home, personal, and they're good at what they do. My princess, Bella, came out with a much better attitude and is much more willing to not only obey, but be trained more. They're good at what they do because they train your dogs in the areas that you have troubles with and make them much more home-trained, rather than kennel-trained. 5/5, would recommend. :)"

"We recently had our dog, Sydney at Steve's board & train for 14 days. We were a little apprehensive initially but it turned out to be a wonderful experience for her. Steve is a true professional and loves dogs. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and soft spoken. Steve had a plan for Sydney and followed through. He sent updates, videos, and pictures which we looked forward to. Steve provided lots of reading materials and websites for us which was very helpful. He is always available if we have questions and I would highly recommend anyone looking for training to contact Steve for his skills and guidance."

"I sent my Goldendoodle Puppy Bella for obedience training and I'm so impressed. I've had her back a day and I can't believe what a difference I see. She's calm, she listens, and I can just see how eager she is to please me. I can't recommend this program enough, and the investment is well worth it. Thank you Steve at Lead By Love."

"Lead by Love is amazing. Steve helped us so much with our GIANT lab who was a good boy but had very little manners. We dropped off Duke at Lead By Love for 14 days and it has been life-changing. Duke is so well-behaved. He is a dream to walk on the leash. (This 100-pound, 10 month-old). He doesn't pull, he listens to the commands we were taught by Steve. Not only did Steve train Duke, but he cared for him and brought him into his family and that is what made me most comfortable leaving Duke for 14 days. I was worried Duke would be sad and by the time I was picking him up, he had it so good that I was worried he might not want to come home ! We had an exceptional experience with Lead By Love and we are all working hard to maintain all the training that went into Duke. It was worth every single penny!"
