Down South k9 is a small business ready to make you and your dog's life a much more enjoyable experience.
I believe the bond between animal and humans can be strengthened not by force and fear due to harsh corrections, but through trust, patience, earned respect, and consistency. Wanting our 4 legged friends to do a desired behavior or respond to a command without fear, but instead with the eagerness to please their handler. Training should not cause fear, nor should a dog be taught with harsh corrections or threats. Training should inspire confidence and an eagerness to please that is so solid, it strengthens your companionship with your dog. If your dog is not enjoying training, you are doing it wrong!

Tyler trained our 7 month old puppy. We were at our wits end and weren't sure we'd even be able to keep him especially after a previous trainer failed. Within 2 days Tyler had him leash trained. After 3 weeks we had a brand new dog. Tyler has been invaluable since, and truly is his trainer for life. As long as you keep up the training he instills in your dog, you won't regret it. Hiring a trainer isn't a one-time magic fix - it's an investment you as the owner HAVE to maintain and do your part, or it won't last. Thankfully Tyler gives you all the tools you need and is great with communication after training. Our dog loves him so much that Tyler is the only one we trust enough to board him. Can't go wrong with this company - I'll recommend to everyone.

When I texted Tyler, he reached out to me right away. Tyler asked me several questions about Trooper. I did not feel rushed (like a lot of Companies do), I in returned, I questioned him about several things I was concerned with.
Tyler had Trooper for 3 weeks. Sent videos of progress, which I appreciated ( I could see Trooper was safe and I could see progress at the same time).
When Trooper came home, Tyler spent 2-3 hours, (we needed to be trained also) at first commands were hard for us to do correctly. Our ways didn't work and we needed to practice new steps givin to us in order. Trooper has been home a week and the commands are starting to be automatic now for us. We sent a video every day for a week on our daily training. Tyler gave us corrections so we could implement right away. During that first week home I would sent Tyler questions and He answered pretty quick (probably stupid to him🙃).
Tyler said I could reach out to him anytime in the future.
Trooper is a different pup.
I can enjoy Trooper now!
I can let my pup outside anytime and give him the command at my back door and Trooper will run right to the door!! Can't explain what a gift this is to us.
Would I recommend Tyler?? Absolutely, we will be using Tyler boarding from now on.🥰

I could not have picked a better and more professional trainer. I rescued my shepherd and opted for the three week board. What a difference! I needed him to be more focused, follow basic commands, and not pull when walking on due to my disability. Thank you not just for your expert training, but also for working with me and caring enough to keep check on us. Tyler is the Best!
