My name is Olivia and I am twelve years old and after
much persuasion I was able to pick out a dog from a
local Humane Society. Our dog Mocha was a lost and
confused pound puppy from Steven Swans Humane Society.
After many weeks of training at other centers, he
still was a lost and confused pound puppy…Until, we
were referred to Larry LeoGrande owner of K9 Obedience
Training. Since, Mocha was my dog, my
mom and Larry both wanted me to train him myself.
Larry, assured me of the dedication I would have to
put into training Mocha, but I knew that it would be
worth it. The first few lessons were pretty much a
struggle between me and Mocha over dominance but Larry
helped me and explained to me what had to be done to
get control over our dog. He was very gentle yet firm
with Mocha, and right away Mocha knew his place. As a
kid, most would think I would have hated going to
train my dog, and let me tell you I had many scratches
and marks to show. But, it was really fun working with
Larry and Mocha. And, I looked forward to going every
week. Not only did Larry give us the proper techniques
to train our dog, but he gave us the proper materials
too. After our training sessions were finally over,
Mocha had seemed to finally calm down, and had
actually become quite attached to Larry. There were no
more struggles between me and Mocha. And he now gets
along with all dogs and people, without jumping on
them to meet them. I highly recommend Larry, he has
really made our life more enjoyable, and Mocha, who
seemed hopeless, is a very big part of the family.
Larry also has a great boarding service, which we have
used on several occasions. Larry is a great and
talented person when it comes to dogs, he has a great
amount of knowledge and experience, and I’m sure he
will really benefit you and your dog. I know he has
for us.
