Tess is my 3 year old Golden. Although Tess is quite a sweet dog, she plays very rough with me outside as if I am also a dog, which is not the case. We continue working on that and are making progress.  Through basic training, Larry helped me learn how to assert my authority and not be soft spoken when giving commands to instill in her that I am the leader, not one of the pack.  He also taught me techniques to be able to control her from jumping on people, including me, and to control her if she unexpectedly tries to dart off while on a walk.  Larry’s dvd is informative and good reinforcement for the training.  Thanks Larry.
