Laurence and his team are fantastic! His dog training skills are excellent. I liked that he wanted to understand my goals so I could meet them. I started training with him when my GSD was 8 weeks old. He has been a great resource for all of my questions, and my dog has made incredible progress. I've seen aggressive dogs come to work with him, and make complete changes within a month. He consistently accommodates the mood the dog is in, not letting them work too hard, get fatigued, or have a negative training experience. Recently we also boarded our 2 GSDs in his facility in NJ. We used the pickup service at our home in KOP where he has a dog kennel van to safely transport them. On return, it was a little less than an hour from KOP and easy to find. His fees were very reasonable. Upon pick

Laurence trained our extremely wild and stubborn german shepherd to be calm and listen to both me and my husband in 5 weeks! He has top skills and truly loves what he does and the dogs he trains. Fees were very reasonable and he gave many different options for different price ranges. He is not in it for the money but for the love of the dogs! My dog hasn’t done training in over a year and still responds to his commands perfectly because Laurence trained him so well! Cannot recommend him enough!

Great trainer and great human being. He made corrections on my dog from previous trainers, now at 10 years old she still is in point. Today with all the pop-up canine trainers out here, after training with Laurence you'll realize how many bad trainers are out here. Not only will your canine be trained, you'll be educated on how to train. We've also use there boarding services when we go out of town. The kennels are clean and well kept.

My youngest has 3yo male. We needed basic skills on how to handle Max. I often have to watch Max and as a senior wanted to get trained. Laurence and his staff are kind and gave clear instructions. I have no fear walking Max and can handle him. Laurence even let our basset join in as distraction to the class. We’ve boarded max with no issues. I highly recommend him.

We have trusted Laurence and his K9 Academy with boarding, training, and grooming, and there truly aren’t enough words to express how exceptional he is. Laurence has been a close friend and part of our family for over 20+ years, and his dedication, knowledge, and passion for dogs is unmatched. From the moment we drop our dog off, we know they are in the absolute best hands. The boarding experience is always safe, structured, and filled with care. The training results speak for themselves—Laurence doesn’t just train dogs, he builds confidence, respect, and strong foundations. And the grooming services leave our dog looking and feeling amazing every single time. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for what he does sets him apart in his field. He is truly a master of
