THE Pack : Big D's Best Buds

Larry is an A+ professional: great at his job, easy to work with, responsive and dependable. He trained my 1 year old shelter dog for a year, about 3 day/ wk. she started at the beginning, learning to walk on leash. she blossomed as part of his ‘family’ of dogs. Lots of love, lots of training. She enjoyed her ‘school.’ She is a happy and social doggy now and my Best Fur Friend so it’s a gift to me as well as her.

Larry has both trained our dog in-home and boarded her. Larry is dependable, great at communicating, and most importantly takes fantastic care of our dog Rae. He’s also a great trainer, teaching both us and our dog. We saw big improvements within a few weeks. Can’t recommend enough!

Larry does amazing work and trained my puppy to follow many commands. He worked with her regularly and he also taught our family how to work with her effectively. my puppy came back from spending time with him with many new skills. I would recommend Larry to anyone looking for dog training and boarding.

We worked with Larry on puppy training and integrating a new puppy in with the older household dogs. He is great to work with and helped us with a lot more than the basic “sit, stay, come”. He taught us about the dynamics of helping the puppy have better manners with the older dogs and integrating her energy into our day to day. Larry’s manner is very relaxed and calming. He has helpful insights into the ins and outs of our dogs and offered changes for us to consider that have really been beneficial. We learned a lot and are very grateful for Larry’s help.

I can't recommend Larry highly enough for all of your dog obedience needs. Larry's contact information came to us from another trainer in the area who we also enjoyed working with but was priced a little bit out of our budget. Larry was accommodating with his schedule, and was able to meet us right outside of our apartment complex. I also asked that we all wear face coverings while working outside due to current conditions and he happily obliged without making it into a big deal. Now, getting into the actual work with our dog. We have a 3.5 year old Australian Sheperd that we rescued about a month ago. He is house trained but has a few things we wanted to work on, like leash manners and more consistency on obedience commands. Our dog is a little shy around strangers, and at first our dog was a little scared of Larry but within minutes, Larry was able to call our dog and get him to come. By the end of the session they were besties.You can really tell that Larry loves working with dogs and has such an excellent demeanor (confident/leading/friendly) with them to win them over. To be honest, I thought our dog needed a little more work with training than it turned he actually did after I saw how obedient he was with Larry. In that sense, Larry helped us as owners feel more confident that we're already doing the right things with our training but also helped us think about how to elevate things to the next level. We spent a good chunk of the session even working on other tricks we could teach our dog. We have already put some of Larry's tips to use to good results so far. Honestly, given some of the pricing schemes I have seen to work with other trainers in the area, Larry's services are a downright STEAL for what you will learn in your hour together. Thank you Larry!
