Tammy is magic! I have a 3 year old GSP that has gone to another board and train program before this. He was still reactive to cars, pulling on a leash & unable to focus on commands. I would leave walks crying out of frustration. After weekly sessions with Tammy, he has transformed! Our dog can now walk nicely on a leash & follow our commands. Walking him is so much more enjoyable! Tammy was great at helping us understand which commands to use & how to reinforce his positive behaviors.

Shoutout to the Leash Less Traveled and Tammy Leatherwood. We have worked with Tammy for over 4 years training our various dogs with great exuberance.
Shadow is our current dog in training as Dan's Service Dog. Tammy assisted us in choosing the right dog for Dan. This means a lot more than you would think. Tammy enthusiastically researched breeders, genetic testing of the dogs' parents, the specific breed that met our needs, and the training necessary to provide the best fit for Dan.
Tammy is the most patient person and trainer we know. She thinks outside of the box to meet the demands for a disabled person.
Tammy is tuned into every dog's behavior, health issues, needs, and abilities. She shows initiative and insight with each unique situation. Tammy provides education for us in addition to hands on training.
We can't recommend and sing Tammy's praises enough. She is part of our family now and we think the world of her and her training abilities.
-Nancy, Dan, and Shadow
We cannot express enough gratitude for Tammy and the incredible impact she's had on our lives. When other trainers gave up on our dog, labeling him as "untrainable," Tammy stepped in with unwavering patience, compassion, and expertise. She believed in our dog—and in us—when no one else did.
Our dog was extremely reactive, barking at every noise, every person passing by our windows, and even during walks. Crate training seemed impossible, and we felt overwhelmed and hopeless. Tammy changed all of that. She taught our dog how to relax at home, calmly handle noises, and remain composed around people and distractions. Thanks to her guidance, we can finally crate him without stress or anxiety.
Tammy's dedication goes far beyond typical training sessions. She has been there for us day and night, offering boarding services and consistently reinforcing our dog's training. Even when we neglected to properly maintain his training, Tammy graciously honored her warranty policy and helped us get back on track. Her ongoing support, including invitations to her group classes, has empowered us to confidently maintain our dog's progress.
If that still wasn't enough, Tammy took our dog from extremely reactive, to a model dog that was able to star in our wedding as the ring bearer. It was a gift we'll remember forever.
Tammy has truly been a godsend to our family. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs are unmatched. We wholeheartedly recommend Tammy to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated dog trainer. She is simply the best
