Local Professional Dog Training Backed by Credentials.
Let’s talk—because every great relationship with your dog begins with the right guidance. At K-9 Obedience Training, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you’re working through problem behaviors, laying a strong foundation with a new puppy, or preparing for advanced competition, we tailor each training plan to your dog’s unique needs and personality.
From virtual sessions to one-on-one training and everything in between, we’re here to help you build trust, confidence, and a lasting bond with your dog.
The first step? A real conversation. No pressure, just honest guidance—starting with a free consultation.

Build Confidence. Fix Behavior. Strengthen Your Bond.
From my first dog Sultan to the competition-ready companions I train today, each dog has shaped my method and my mission. What started as a personal passion has become a professional commitment: to help every dog reach their full potential—and every owner feel confident in their bond.
That’s why I offer a wide range of training services, personalized for each dog’s age, temperament, and goals. Whether you’re building basics, tackling behavioral challenges, or preparing for high-level work, we’ll build a path that works for both of you.

Meet Larry LeoGrande
I’m Larry LeoGrande—owner, trainer, and the one who will be working directly with you and your dog. With over two decades of experience, I bring a hands-on, deeply personal approach to every session.
I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Police K-9 Trainer, a graduate of the renowned Amsel Training Kennels, and a proud AKC CGC evaluator. My journey started with my own German Shepherds back in the 1980s and has taken me through competition training, obedience seminars, and Schutzhund titles across the U.S. and Europe.
You’re not getting a franchise or a one-size-fits-all program. You’re getting me—on the field, in the kennel, and invested in your dog’s success.
