Lead & Thrive Dog Training is a family-owned Las Vegas business where Brendan O’Neal trains puppies and adult dogs, mostly in private in-home sessions.
Brendan O’Neal, who was born and raised in Las Vegas, is the owner and head trainer at Lead & Thrive Dog Training. His website says the business started because of his own dog, Blaze. He and his wife adopted Blaze from the Nevada SPCA in 2020, and after the dog showed behavior problems, their veterinarian recommended professional training.
How the training works
The website describes private sessions, mostly in the client’s home, with some work outdoors and in public places. It says the approach is balanced, pairing positive reinforcement with clear guidance and structure.
- Puppy training
- Obedience training
- Board-and-train programs
- Behavior modification, and training for show or emotional-support dogs
The site lists puppy, obedience and board-and-train programs as six to eight weekly sessions each. It does not offer protection-dog or service-dog training to pet owners.
After the program
Lead & Thrive says every program includes free monthly group classes after graduation, and the site mentions lifetime access to those classes. The About page gives the business’s stated goal: to “help keep dogs in their homes and out of shelters through better training, education, and support.” The page also says lasting results take time and effort and promises no outcome.
