K9 Monk, LLC-Happy Dogs

About

As for many, September 11th 2001 had a tremendous impact on Lawrence and it changed the course of his life forever. In 2002, he left Wall Street behind and enrolled in K-9 Search and Detection School. It was a major shift of transformation for Lawrence and it was a natural intuitive fit working with dogs. Lawrence was trained in basic and advanced obedience and became a professional K-9 Handler specializing in Narcotics and Explosives detection.

In 2008, Lawrence started K9 Geese Control, LLC providing wildlife management for recreational parks, private estates, gated communities, golf courses and horse race tracks.

His interest in alternative holistic and organic approaches grew and he began learning new ways to reduce a dog’s stress and anxieties. He educated himself in non-traditional modalities of energy healing with an intent to bring dogs back to a more balanced and peaceful state.

Over the years, Lawrence has integrated training and incorporated Energy Balancing Techniques in a variety of dogs as well as people, helping cope with stress and other various anxieties.

K9 Monk was the most amazing experience we’ve ever had boarding our dog. It was like a vacation for him!! We would highly recommend.

Boarded my nervous Cockapoo Franklin with Lawrence and his family for 6 nights…no worries whatsoever! Lawrence and his family welcomed my dog right into their home and even let him stay with a family member at night knowing he had never been crated and liked to be kept company at night. We loved the daily pictures and videos…seeing the dog so happy made us feel great that he was enjoying his vacation as much as we enjoyed ours. We ended up extending our vacation a day and it was no problem at all. Franklin was even returned to us beautifully groomed. Great experience for all of us…certainly won’t be the last! 5 stars all around!

We appreciated the photos and videos texted to us during StanLee’s boarding stay. He was pretty tired when we picked him up, which we took as a good sign because he had so much play time.

We highly recommend K9Monk LLC.

Lawrence and his family have been over the top loving and attentive to our Cotton, Oliver. These past 2 weeks have been the longest time apart. Oliver is happy and in good spirits. Alas, he is missing his new friends a bit!! Good sign for all.

 

I couldn’t say anything but positive raves for this experience. Thank you L.

My Bullmastiff Hank loves going to K9 Monk…It’s such a piece of mind dropping him off there. Lawrence sends pic and video updates everyday. I would definitely recommend them!!!!!!!!

My goldendoodle Dale has stayed with K9 for several week-long visits. He’s been loved, exercised, well taken care of and smells great after a bath and grooming. I get pictures and videos of him while we’re away. I love knowing he is in good hands while we’re out of town!

We had Baron (our 5 month old German Shepard) stay with K9 Monk over our week long vacation. Lawrence sent daily updates with videos and photos during his stay. Baron was loved, exercised and socialized with other friendly dogs. His wife Maritza did a great job grooming him prior to pick up. Having a professional K9 handler/trainer and groomer take care of our dog really put our minds at ease…K9 Monk—Highly Recommended!

Our Dog jumps in the car and runs in when he gets dropped off. It’s extremely comforting to know he is well taken care of and happy. We never worry at all when he is with Lawrence and his family. His wife also does a great job grooming Bartley when he is there.

If your family is like mine you worry when you want to get away for a few days or go on Vacation who will take care of the Dog. We Love our Dog and want him to be happy. Thanks to Lawrence and K9 Monk we no longer have that problem. When we go away it’s also like a vacation for our Dog. He gets to hang out with other pets and gets lots of attention. I love the videos that show you how well your dog is being treated. The truth is most commercial places that board your pet give them absolutely no attention no matter what they tell you and they charge you an arm and a leg. Lawrence is a 100 percent different, him and his family love dogs and treat them like part of their family when ever they visit. Lawrence has been watching my dog for years and I would highly recommend him and his company. Lawrence is also incredible at training dogs.

 

His wife is one of the best groomers I have ever come across. Our dog used to hate being groomed, now he loves being picked up and getting a hair cut a bath and his nails cut. K9 Monk is an incredible one stop place for all your Pet needs. Stop over paying for high priced boarding places that just stick your dog in a cage and use Lawrence and K9 Monk you will not regret it.

I feel so lucky to have found Lawrence and his family! Our dog Finley has stayed several times with Lawrence for a few days to week long stays when we travel. Finley is cared for, loved and made to feel at home. He is not locked up in a cage, which always puts me at ease. Lawrence, his wife Maritza, and their daughter go above and beyond to care for my dog. Maritza also grooms him beautifully and he is always happy when he stays with them. Lawrence also sends me videos, pictures and texts just to let me know how he’s doing. I highly recommend K9 Monk to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet in a loving, protective environment.
