Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

Do they also train little dogs like Yorkie’s?

I really don't know. I would give them a call. A relative is very pleased with them. We didn't have a good experience but it wasn't about training. They seem very professional at training.

He curses at customers who are calm and kind. Seems he can’t remember things since he asks the same question 5 times. Place is run down and sketchy and dirty. In response to (Rusty the owners) commentary. You’ve admitted to cursing at me multiple times. Dont change the story and pretend like you weren’t at fault here. Treat your customers with respect. I never screamed or “stormed off” i left quietly and politely because you seem like the type to not own up to your awful actions and behavior. Also i saw on Facebook you decided to blast my full name and my address and dogs name. You obviously cant handle a bad review because its the truth and you cant handle the truth. Also anyone can click my name on this review and clearly see i have great reviews. You are just upset you got a bad one. Stop being a narcissist and own up to your actions. Do better.

Totally agree/loved your training methods! Turned my girl and me into a great team. I was only going for basic training and they took me all the way through to a BH within six months.👍👏🤗

Before we got our new pup, Daisy, we had decided we would do as much training with her as I could. Knowing I had a lot to learn before I could train her, I went in with the idea that dog training is for me to learn how to train my dog, not for them to train my dog for me. We were luckily enough to be recommended to southwest Florida K9 services. For the last year I have been regularly attending Saturday classes with Daisy. The trainers are all knowledgeable and have helped me to train Daisy to the point where she is now my service dog!! This is big for me as I didn’t think that was a possibility. I will always be grateful for the knowledge and skills they have given us. Although Dee, Suzann, and Rusty usually take different groups or classes they make a great team of trainers as they are all different personalities and all have different ways of explaining things.

Could not recommend this place more! Great training for you and your dog, and really helps build your relationship. If you want what is best for your dog, it is PRIORITIZING training at SWFLK9 every week! I had a bloodhound who are not known for obedience and SWFLK9 greats them with the expectations of all other breeds but gives dog grace, space, and time. They are clear with expectations and what you need to do to get the results you want. Dee and Rusty are amazing people who dedicate their life to these animals because they care so much about them- this is clear through their training and dedication.
