    Larry has been an awesome asset in training my rescue pup, Merlen. Merlen is a friendly guy but…read morereally needed help understanding what behaviors were appropriate. He also spent quite a while living life as a stray, so he struggled with taking orders. With Larry's help Merlen is well on the way to becoming a well mannered, good boy. Larry has been nothing but respectful, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our training sessions and calmly explains each action and exercise. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone looking for one on one training for their furry family member.

    Dog Man K-9 Services is truly phenomenal! Larry is so knowledgable, personable and just overall…read moreincredibly helpful. I came to Larry with my 7 mo. old coonhound who struggles with excessive barking/lunging as well as extreme stubbornness, and in just 4 sessions I have learned so much. I was only able to do 4 sessions due to the fact that I am moving out of the area, so Larry tailored his approach to help make the most of the time that we had to meet in order to ensure that I had the tools I needed to continue working with my dog. He explained everything in such a way that it was very easy to take and apply at home with my dog. Larry was very easy to reach either through phone or email and was always willing to take the time to listen to the observations that I had made about my dog and asked so many great clarifying questions to help him better understand the situation. I seriously cannot say enough good things about Dog Man K-9 Services, if you are looking for a dog trainer I would highly recommend. Thank you so much Dog Man K-9 Services!

    There is nothing easy or simple about caring for homeless animals, but I can only thank the…read morevolunteers of the Central Missouri Humane Society for keeping my little girl alive long enough for us to meet. When I first decided to adopt a cat, I looked at their website to preview the kitties they had available for adoption, and one stood out: she was named Oreo for her all black coat with a single patch of white above her eyebrow. I saw her picture and the description saying she was special for having survived despite her heart condition, and thought, that's really sweet, but NO WAY! When I visited to meet the cats they had available, a volunteer told me, have you met Oreo, she's very sweet? And I took her into the one-on-one room just to make the volunteer feel good, having no intention of considering her. 10 minutes later I told the volunteers in the cat room Oreo was going home with me, and they both gasped. As I found out later, she had been there for a year and a half, despite having a heart condition in a kill shelter, and had charmed the staff into keeping her alive in the small chance she would find a home. Fast forward 13 years, and me and Oreo (who I call Thebe) have been together through thick and thin in the best of times, and the worst of times. I was there for her when she had her heart surgery to repair a PDA, when she was diagnosed with fluted, and then diabetes, and she was there for me when I was unemployed for a year and a half after finishing my masters degree... then 2 years after my PhD, and having to accept jobs I could have done just as effectively after high school. And now when I'm entering another period of unemployment, I know she'll be there for me again when I'm at my worst. Always brightening my day with her strange loping walk and chainsmoker meow, and her purr sessions that would melt the coldest heart. For the volunteers and employees of the Central Missouri Humane Society, I can only extend my most heartfelt thank you. Are things perfect there? No! But the job they do literally saves lives, both animal and human. On your darkest days, remember that. You can help bring two lives together who would only be lesser had they never met. And since I'm horribly unemployed again, and rent is the only expense that isn't a luxury, I can only gift this ridiculous picture of Thebe (Oreo) after her heart surgery. She charmed the vet students into demanding she go home early because she couldn't be bothered to be nice to anyone else on her worst day. She says "go away humAn" from her new home in California.
