The dedication he has with this clients is extraordinarily and he's always there when they need him.

*Not Recommended for Dog Training in the Greenville area / try others first*…read more This is part of my review series on Therapy Dog Training. Our dog was recently certified and we want to help our neighbors through this long process! We previously appreciated our dog boarding at Upstate Dog Academy but we stopped going for several reasons. Positives: James at Upstate Dog Academy offers dog boarding in his home and has a yard for daily outings. Negatives: We started with lessons at Upstate Dog Academy but we later found that other area dog trainers offer classes with a mix of more positive reinforcement and our dog started making more progress once we switched. Also, our dog just didn't seem to be getting the same amount of outdoor time here as at other kennels. On our last visit for boarding, our dog looked visibly distressed as we pulled in the driveway and we decided we would not be going back. *Routes to Therapy Dog Certification: 1. Attend private lessons for beginner through Therapy Dog and then get certified through Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) via Noble Dog Hotel. This is the more expensive option. 2. Attend classes at Astro Kennels, then take Therapy Dog class at Petsmart in Mount Pleasant, SC, and then contact a private ATD evaluator through the ATD website. This is the cheaper option.

So this was no small task. Another plus, large runs for large breed dogs. Sadly, I recently lost Marble to old age. In addition to marble they have taken care of several of my foster Danes. These folks have been wonderful, know what they are doing, accommodate special needs and requests. Thank you K9 Corner.

He was dangerous due to his severe anxiety and size, and we were terrified that we were going to need to find a new home for him. We have a baby and had to create separation of the living spaces due to the safety risks, but Larry helped us bring more unity back into the home, SAFELY. He provided us with the tools we needed to gain control again of our situation, where we can all share a happy living space now. We have been able to curb a lot of our dog's anxiety by being confident in our commands, so our anxiety has lifted too. Larry also helped us with something we never thought possible: our other dog is now safely able to go on walks without trying to kill other furry babies. :) It is nice knowing if we ever have any questions or have any setbacks, Larry is there to help us work through it. Thanks, Larry!

Update. I understand Larry wants his customers to be successful. He's just not honest about his…read moreability to deal with larger dogs. Larger dogs need a lot more, very specific training. They do not need a trainer who basically seems uninterested and won't even touch them. He's going to come with a nice checksheet, let you do the work, and it's pretty much what every single trainer on youtube will teach you. Again as nice as he is, even in his response here, know I think most people don't give him a bad review because he's a nice old guy. If you have a larger dog, a breed that is known to be head strong, or both, do not waste your money. There's only one larger breed dog trainer in the area and they are not as convenient and far more expensive. There's also a trainer that specializes in large breed dogs that trains with online sessions that work better. Two of his sessions will cost you about the same as what Larry charges but you'll get training that actually works. Sorry Larry, but feel you really need to be honest that you're not experienced or successful with larger breeds. My best friend's husband's friend had the same issue, and she asked him to review also as he expressed the same frustration. But I can't speak to his story other than as point to you to either learn more about working with larger dogs or be honest with future customers up front that you don't want, like, etc to work with them.
