Total Dog Training and Devin did an excellent job more than we expected!!…read moreMy mother, Mary, and I were very nervous when we chose to start training for Nefertiti. The day we picked TDT, we were still not sure if we made the right decision or not. But at the end of our training session, we were extremely happy that we pickd TDT and had Devin as our trainer!! Devin came to my mother house for the consultation. It was amazing that he connected with Nefertiti right away. Devin explained to us what we would need for training (supplies) and how the sessions would go. This was extremely helpful for us to see and understand the process we all would experience. We asked him many questions during our sessions, and he answered all our questions very patiently until we understood them clearly. On the first day of training, we were pretty nervous because we didn't know how Nefertiti would react and if my mother could handle the process, but we didn't need to worry at all with Devin. Devin works very quickly and in an organized way. We were amazed how much Nefertiti changed in the first hour of our first session. Whenever we had concerns, Devin made efforts to resolve any issues right away and always gave us very quick response if we had any questions. He is very professional and a hard worker. We can't thank him enough!!

We quickly saw results after every training. 3 months ago I was scared to take my dog to public places because of how hyper he was.

The YouTube video is right for the world to see..if that's not using these beautiful creatures,trusting to normalize and soften the true face of evil,nothing does.Is this the people you'd honestly want to hand off your best friend to? The kind of "Aggression training," BTSK9 provides is the kind no living creature needs.Shame on the staff,and I hope you shun them and everything they represent by taking your beloved, furry,friend despite whatever issues they are going thru to literally any place else.

Daniel was a life saver when it came to our sweet girl Piper! We rescued Piper in November of 2025…read more As she became more comfortable and adjusted in our house, she became more territorial. We tried different training techniques, research, and after months of nothing truly addressing the aggressive - territorial behavior, we knew we needed help. She was scaring people when they would come into our home. Putting her in another room (even in her kennel which is her safe space) made her become destructive and worsened her anxiety. Lorenzo's training style is much more than just obedience. It is about training your dog to have confidence in you and to respect you as the leader. Daniel educated us about what was driving Piper's behavior, what her body language means and what she is communicating when she behaves a certain way. He was incredibly patient and thorough with his teaching to my husband and me. He explained everything to us and ensured we were comfortable and understanding of the training techniques. We saw improvement in Piper in just one session. We had three more sessions with Daniel before she boarded with him. Piper now is confident instead of anxious, listens readily, and is substantially less anxious/aggressive when people come into the house and they get to see how loving our Piper girl is. We have one more session with Daniel and we have already seen such a drastic and incredible improvement! The hardest part of the training is training ourselves to be consistent. Daniel truly made an incredible difference for her and taught us skills that will help keep Piper and others safe. Daniel has a deep passion and love for dogs, and we are so glad we worked with him!

I was made to feel like I was uneducated because I wouldn't abuse my dog to teach him he grew up in a house where my grandmother raised Scottish terriers And we were never allowed to hit them yell at them or anything and they won lots of dog shows had lots of ribbons and lots of points but these people will bully you and it's about the money for them for eight sessions for over $2,500 I was supposed to get on and off lease training I had no idea it was going to be through pain and suffering five star for two dogs off leash training and teaching my rescue dog my other dog that's a rescue to get over her fear in public not once has she ever heard him and never made me feel bad or uneducated my values just on the line with dog abuse.

We boarded our Dane in February and he us a different puppy. One that is calmer and happier. Knowing boundaries helps him be happier and us less stressed. She offers boarding too and when we welcomed our baby a few weeks ago she made herself available to help with our pup. And helped us introduce our pup to our new born. I can't say enough good things about how much help she has been, how good her training has been and how much we absolutely love her services. And her price point is on par with her competitors and speaking to the training we received it is very well priced! You won't be disappointed.

We have bern staying in Fort Walton Beach for several weeks with our Australian Shepherds. In our…read more"neighborhood" we noticed Mercy's Stay + Play dog boarding, daycare, and grooming. While our pups are not the doggie daycare type, they were stinky. I stopped in and spoke with the owner, Josh. I was impressed with his passion for his business and his knowledge of the Fort Walton Beach area. After talking with him, I completed an information sheet on the dogs. It was great to see the vaccine records checked before the dogs could be groomed. Kaylee, the groomer, called me and we scheduled the appointments. Over the phone, Kaylee was so personable. In person she was so professional and positive about our dogs. When we picked them up, the dogs both smell good and are SOOOO SOFT. If we lived here, Kaylee would be our groomer! Thank you Josh and Kaylee. We are happy that we found Mercy's Stay+Play!
