FirstBarkWe had a fantastic experience working with Larry to train our puppy. From the very beginning, it was clear that he was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He took the time to understand our puppy’s personality and tailored the training to suit her needs. Would highly recommend.

k9 obedience training really helped me and my family if it wasn’t for larry i don’t know what we would have done with our shepherd mix.
When I got my dog she was a wild mess, a working dog with no training or anything is a high functioning mess. She would bite pull not listen to commands and couldn't be trusted in a room by herself cause she would destroy everything and now look at her and my newborn baby asleep together she is an amazing dog now thanks to the efforts of Larry and k9 obedience training.

We bought our first German Shepherd, Max, in 2012 as a puppy. We brought him to Larry as some other trainers refused to work with him as he seemed to be a little aggressive. Larry was so patient and understanding. Larry knew exactly what to do and how to fix Max’s flaws. We did two training sessions with Max. Max was so well behaved and picked up on all training very well. We then got a working line German Shepherd puppy in 2016. Her name was Mya. Immediately knew the only person who would help us train her would be Larry. And again, Larry knew exactly how to train her. We lost Max about two years ago and we just recently got another German shepherd puppy, Jake. We actually named him after one of Larry’s dogs that he had that left a huge impact on my husband. We just completed Jake’s first 8 weeks. We have high expectations for Jake as now we have three small children. We will be back in the spring for another 8 weeks as Jake has much to overcome and the only person I know that can help us is Larry. Larry has dedicated his whole life to his business in dog training and his own dogs. His passion for this line of work is nothing you see from anyone else. It’s like he can read the dog and knows exactly how to overcome any situation. I refer everyone to him and I will never go to anyone else. We will continue to always have atleast two German shepherds at all times in our home (it doesn’t feel like home without them) and every time, we will only bring them to Larry. Can’t wait to continue Jake’s training.
I’ve known Larry for many years now and we’re currently training our 3rd dog through Larry’s classes. He has some pretty simple, down to earth teaching methods that have been proven to work. We can have our dogs off leash, pretty much anywhere now and trust that they’ll come when called.
