Larry worked with me and my 1 year old pup on leash walking, and basic obedience. He took the time to get both of us, our temperaments, and met us where we were at. His guidance during training and giving instruction for continued training with my pup after we completed his course, were tailored to our needs and made a world of difference in caring for my high energy, large dog. Larry is caring, patient, and very knowledgeable not only about training but about giving the best care to our pets. I came away feeling confident in continuing to train my pup at home, as well as more knowledgeable in picking the right diet, food, hygiene, and exercise for my pup. His pricing is also very reasonable for the time commitment he provides. We couldn’t be happier !

Where do I even begin about Larry? Kind, knowledgeable, understanding, and patient are just a few of the words that come to mind. Not only did he train our 6‑month‑old puppy, Gus, but he also taught me the proper way to communicate—both during class and with homework. I absolutely love his one‑on‑one approach. It allows him to tailor each session to the unique needs of both the animal and their owner, creating an experience that truly works for everyone. Larry’s dedication and personalized guidance have made a lasting impact on us, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Very productive 8 weeks with Larry. Not quite sure who learned more, our doodle or us. Would recommend as he really knows his stuff!
If you’re looking for a great dog trainer, contact Larry at K-9 Obedience Training. My 6 month old pup was scared to death to walk through the doors for her first 2 weeks of training…literally had to pick her up to get her inside… but with Larry’s calm, caring and compassionate demeanor it didn’t take her long to warm up and shower him with kisses… she looked forward to going to school each week.
