I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ray and the incredible job he did with Jimmi…read more Jimmi spent approximately two weeks with Ray, and my goal was to have a confident, well-mannered service dog who could go anywhere with me, accompany me in my everyday life, and eventually be able to fly with me. I've only had Jimmi home for a few days, but I'm already amazed at the difference. We've been out to multiple places together, and I've learned so much about my dog and how to communicate with him. Honestly, I never really knew who Jimmi was or what he was capable of before working with Ray. Ray is truly a dog whisperer. What I love most is that he didn't just train Jimmi -- he taught me. The extra time, knowledge, and guidance Ray gave me, especially during our windshield time, has been invaluable. I now have a much better understanding of Jimmi and how to continue reinforcing everything he learned. Now it's up to us to continue with the daily habits, consistency, and positive reinforcement so these lessons become part of our everyday life. I will continue working with Ray periodically through his board-and-train program for refresher training to keep Jimmi sharp and continue building on the foundation Ray has given us. I highly recommend Ray to anyone looking for someone who genuinely understands dogs and knows how to bring out their best. Thank you, Ray, for helping me discover the amazing dog I already had.

Ray of K9 Department LLC is an exceptional professional whose expertise in canine training is…read moreevident from the very first interaction. His depth of knowledge, disciplined methodology, and unwavering dedication to the craft set him apart in a field where true mastery is rare. As the trainer for my Presa Canarios within my kennel program, Ray has consistently delivered outstanding results across obedience, protection work, show‑dog conditioning, and a wide range of specialized training. His methods are precise, effective, and rooted in a deep understanding of canine behavior. It is clear he operates with a level of intuition and connection to dogs that few trainers possess. Ray exemplifies professionalism -- reliable, respectful, responsible, and remarkably affordable for the caliber of service he provides. His boarding services are equally impressive, offering a safe, structured, and well‑managed environment that gives owners complete confidence. In the dog world, building the right relationships is invaluable, and Ray is one of the best connections any owner, breeder, or kennel operator can make. Beyond his technical skill, he is an outstanding human being whose integrity and passion elevate every aspect of his work. I recommend Ray and K9 Department LLC without reservation. His impact on my kennel and my dogs has been exceptional.

What a rip off! I took my puppy to the basic one training class. Six classes but really five…read morebecause the first one is the instructor telling you about the training and that there would be three trainers during the class. NOT, there was one and sometimes two as they switched off doing kennel work. They told me I was in a class with other puppies, NOT TRUE! Not only older dogs but aggressive dogs too. Small area so you couldn't spread out either for safety reasons with aggressive dogs. I was not impressed.

Terrible!! My first red flag should have been when 3 out of my 4 phone calls were NOT returned…read more Lisa tried to intimidate me into insisting she had returned my first 3 calls. Nope!! You can't argue with stupid and modern technology!! I didn't fall for that. She never even laid hands on my dog! She threw string cheese on the floor and told me to YouTube dogs barking all day. To desensitize my dog. He gets overly excited when he sees another dog on a walk. Then, the second thing she recommended was for my dog to be put on Prozac!! I foolishly paid $85 for NOTHING. Pay close attention to these photos. She's reading a magazine. Just dogs in photos, not her interacting with them. If you have a very young puppy and want to teach it how to "go find" with cheese, let me save you $85...toss cheese on the floor and watch YouTube's. This place is a waste.

wish I could give a 0 star or better yet a -10 review. My dad adopted a long haired English…read moreBulldog for $400.00. We were told she had worms but is at the end of treatment so take her out more than usual. This amazing dog Daisy had explosive diarrhea to the point she didn't even know she had to go. We took her back for treatment for $180.00+ fee. No change in Daisy's condition after the meds or change in food. We were told a culture was needed for $2-300.00 and antibiotics for $500 for the 1st week. The vet said we got a group of dogs from Miami with a bad bacteria. After a stern message to Mandy she agreed they would cover that cost. The culture showed nothing. Due to the no resolve and the episodes of diarrhea exceeding 10 × a day and the weight loss of 11+ lb my dad returned her to Mandy. He was assured he would receive the $400 adoption fee but not the vet fee to Mandy's Husband. As of 8/12/24 and today is 10/5/24 no check. We desperately love Daisy and know she is locked in a cage in a store room next to the ASAP VET CLINIC IN BROOKSVILLE FL defecating on herself until the next person adopts her. DON'T DONATE OR ADOPT FROM THIS PLACE THAT CALLS THEMSELVES A RESCUE. GOD LOVE THE ANIMALS THEY "TAKE IN FOR RESCUE". It's a money making scam that only the animals suffer as do the people who adopt. SHAME ON YOU FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ANIMALS AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE ANIMALS THEY ADOPT.
