Addy and I came to Larry and Salty Dog Retrievers because I thought Addy, our 1 year old female Golden Retriever, had behavioral issues. With Larry's help and insight I learned a great deal about dogs and dog behavior that helped me to be a better pack leader in my home. I learned that Addy was a good dog doing what worked for her.

It has been a year since our Kahlua passed. Looking back this was the best money we have ever spent regarding our dogs. He took what we thought was a good dog and made her amazing. My friends and family still talk about all the time they got to spend in the blinds watching her work. I would not hesitate sending your dog to them!

Small, fun tavern with a talky bartender. What more do you need? Oh yeah, of course the beers are spot-on!

Never having done this before, I missed my dog terribly. However, I knew that Larry, being a true professional, had Floyd's best interest at heart and was in excellent hands. Given the time frame that I had, Larry was able to complete the required training of my 7-8 month lab. He also gave this novice, plenty of time and pointers to allow me to continue moving forward on my own.
