We have 2 Mini-Australian Shepherds and one is very fear reactive as he was attacked on trails many times as a young puppy. We had other trainers tell us our male dog would never live a normal life and could never be around other dogs or children. Guiding Canines took the time to understand our dogs and create a meticulous training plan! They simulated real life situations since we had a baby on the way with noisy toys, crying dolls, strollers... the WORKS! We are so grateful for them! Our dogs did really well with the arrival of our son thanks to Guiding Canines! We stayed in contact with them and just moved to the East Coast. We were so excited to be near Guiding Canines again! They have taken care of our dogs and setup a follow-up training schedule while we get our house settled. They're extremely flexible but always keep the dogs best interest at the forefront. Recently, they helped facilitate a vet visit for one of our pups to get checked out. I highly recommend this team because they are truly phenomenal! We are forever grateful for them for allowing our dog to live a "normal life"!

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.

But my golden loved going but he would constantly be soaking wet when I picked him up and I finally asked him why is he wet if he's indoors and they said he plays in the dog bowls and I asked them if it was possible to redirect him from not getting wet and they told me if I wanted that then he can play by himself. I also ended up getting my dogs vaccines done by a friend who owns a boarding place in wellford and then they would not let me take my dog back because it wasn't a vet that gave it to him but I had the vaccine file and proof and though I understand their concern- how the owner handled it was so rude. Basically told me it wasn't her problem that I can't bring him anymore. Good thing he won't ever be back anyways. And to add in a grooming tip- my golden had matted ears from playing so much in the water they let him play in every day - that he was getting yeast infections. I asked them to groom his ears and they shaved his ears. SHAVED THEM. He's a golden. My heart was shattered to see them mess up his coat like that. Definitely do not recommend.
