Why Many Families in Northeast Florida Find Us After Trying Other Training 

Over the years, we’ve noticed a clear pattern. The majority of our clients in St.Johns County, FL and surrounding areas don’t come to us as their first trainer—- they come after they’ve already tried one, two or several training programs that didn’t hold long-term. Not because they didn’t care. Not because they didn’t try hard enough. Many programs focus on short-term quick fixes, without fully teaching owners how to apply training in daily life—- with distractions real-world expectations. Our role isn’t to replace what you’ve learned—- its to build on it, clarify it, and make it reliable.

Why Training Sometimes Doesn’t Stick

Why Training Can Look Good At First

— Then Fall Apart

Many dogs learn commands quickly. 

Where training often breaks down is application — when expectations change, environments become more demanding, or real life intervenes. 

Lasting results are not built through isolated sessions or an unstructured approach. They require a clear plan, with defined goals, and training layered intentionally over time — focusing on understanding, control, and reliability, not just commands. 

That’s why our programs prioritize: 

  • Clear communication

  • Consistent Structure

  • Owner confidence​

  • Proofing skills beyond controlled settings​

From the beginning, we train both the dog and the owner — so progress holds up long after formal sessions end with lasting results.

Who Are We A Great Fit For

Is Leash & Beyond K9 Solutions Right For You?

We work best with families & individuals who:

  • Want to understand their dog and the training that goes into correcting behaviors

  • Are willing to be involved and hands on in the training process​ 

  • Care about long-term reliability, not just short-term results and quick fixes​

  • Are ready to invest time, structure and follow-through daily, not just in their 1 hour training session​

If you are looking for one-time class or a quick solution, there are many options available — and that’s okay. 

If you are looking for clarity, confidence, and lasting results that hold up in everyday life, we’re likely a strong fit. 

Why Our Approach Is Different

An Experience-Driven Approach Built Over Decades

Our training philosophy was not built from trends or online certifications. 

It comes from over 20 years of hands-on experience working dogs in high pressure environments — where reliability, clarity, and trust are not optional. Our dogs were saving lives. 

Today, the same foundation is applied to family dogs of all breeds, all sizes, and all ages — from puppies to adult dogs, from small companions to large working breeds. 

Different Dogs. Same Standards. Thoughtfully Adjusted Approach. 

Every dog learns differently — but the fundamentals don’t change. We adjust the how, never the standard, ensuring training is clear, fair, and consistent while meeting each dog where they are, without compromising the fundamentals.

I recently completed a 10‑week Basic Obedience and Intro to Off‑Leash program with Lee for my Doberman puppy, Ghost, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Throughout our time together, Lee taught me a wide range of techniques that helped Ghost master essential commands like sit, down, place, here, stay, down, heel, and even “middle.” What I really appreciated was that our sessions weren’t limited to one environment. We trained in a variety of public places, which helped build Ghost’s confidence and reliability—on and off leash. One moment that absolutely blew my mind was at South Beach Park in Jax Beach: Lee had me place Ghost in a sit at one end of a soccer field, walk all the way to the opposite end, and then give the “here” command. Ghost crushed it on the first try. It was incredible to see how much progress he made. Lee’s knowledge feels endless, and I truly valued his honesty—especially when it came to correcting my own mistakes. He never hesitated to point out what I needed to improve, and that made a huge difference in Ghost’s success. Overall, I’m extremely grateful for Lee’s expertise, patience, and guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to build a strong training foundation with their dog.

I’m so grateful to have found Lee and Leash & Beyond K9 Solutions. I thought I was getting a 45 lb cuddler and Kira grew quickly into a 70 lb supercharged bundle of energy. After two expensive trainer fails, Lee was our 3rd attempt and very successfully trained us to be a great team - obedient dog and knowledgeable handler. Now we are back with LBK9 learning to work as a therapy dog team!

We adopted a German Shepherd last year who had several issues that caused concern. She was calm with humans but reacting to every dog, squirrel, goose and weed eater like she was about to win her WWE title. I knew I needed help with Pepper to teach her how to stop being reactive, but I was not sure what that meant. My first meeting with Lee was different from other trainers because he wasn’t overly excited in sales mode or using e-collars to train. He had a lot of calm energy and we both needed that. I took Pepper to the first group training- which is free for life; and I was terrified because the dog was going nuts in the van. However, with some intense consistency, and repetitive motion she began to get less reactive. In a few months I have learned how to adjust my behavior and body language to make the most effective progress. I work full time, have 3 kids, lots of activities and I am still able to make time to follow the directions and see big results. She’s not losing her mind at the fence over the neighbors dog or yard crew, she isn’t stealing food off the table or digging up the irrigation pipes anymore. She’s not stressed at home now, and she’s listening when I need her to not chase raccoons or leave food the kids drop. She’s getting more attention because she’s easier to handle. Lee advised me on what to buy for collar and leashes, showing me what would work best and why without spending a fortune. He answered many questions about food, allergies, travel, and anything that has come up. The training away from home has been the most valuable and he has me closer to my goals to take her anywhere than I ever could have done on my own or with an app, and no electricity was needed. I am still working on more improvements and breaking bad habits but he’s giving me the education to teach her to be a good citizen. If you have a problem child that needs help, and you’re willing to put in the effort, you will absolutely not be disappointed. If you don’t know how to train yourself or family, he can help with that too! I’ve had very little experience with training dogs and I’ve seen 100% improvement from the start. This training is a long term goal that doesn’t really end with the package you buy, so if you want things to change and don’t want to yell at your dog or spend time covering up craters, then pick a plan and set goals for milestones. Lee will absolutely do his best to meet or beat your expectations and if you’re not getting results, he will provide other ways to improve. He does FaceTime and watches videos to keep you on track.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Lee has helped us train our Corgi, and ourselves, since she was just a few months old. His knowledge is priceless, his experience admirable and his demeanor, punctuality and efficiency all wrapped up into one is what any doggy needs to succeed. We recently decided to add on to our initial training when it came to an end because we are so happy with the results, and we know how much more Lee can teach us. Our Emmie Dog goes out with us everywhere thanks to Lee's training and we can't wait to see what else she can learn! Aside from the fantastic training with Lee, the "behind the scenes" staff is one of a kind! Leanne's attention to detail, organization, flexibility and kindness is a win overall for us with Leash and Beyond K9 Solutions.

We have the best experience for the leave. We would definitely use him again. We learned so much.

We just wrapped up our dog training with Lee, and wow… what an experience! 🐾 For Julio and me, this was so much more than teaching our dogs commands—it was an eye-opener. We learned that 98% of the time, it’s not our dogs that need “fixing”… it’s us learning to truly understand them. If we’d all slow down and really get to know our animals, we’d see they’ve been communicating with us all along. We’re beyond thankful for everything Lee taught us. Now, we get to continue building on this, enjoying life with our three big pups (yes, they’re only 8 months old, but trust me—they aren’t little 😅). Being able to take them anywhere with us is a dream come true, and they deserve nothing less than the world. ❤️🐶 #DogTraining #Grateful #HappyPups #BigBabies #PuppyLove

Best decision we made for my dog! Our rescue dog was very reactive and overwhelmed in placed with lots of people and would not listen to us in those times. Lee provided us with all the knowledge and help to get our boy through it. We started with basic training at home and then took it outside and then eventually to public spaces. Now we can take our dog anywhere. Not to mention, he is trained on commands and listens to us in all situations. Thank you Lee! Anyone looking for great training for your dogs, look no further.
