I have a handsome shi tzu named Bash. He is soft a cuddly but had a huge problem marking. I was referred to Tyler from a great friend for additional potty training. Tyler and Melissa were instrumental in training Bash for me. They took great care of Bash, sent me pictures of progression and to let me know he was loved and taken care of during the process. Bash came home with a fresh bath and a new attitude! Melissa sent me home with instructions and it has been several weeks and I am completely satisfied. Tyler and Melissa have also have checked on Bash's progress sense he graduated training. This team went beyond my expectations and I am extremely pleased. The team also gave me new rules to coincide with Bash's training and that has been extremely helpful. Thank you to Tyler and his team for being professional and taking on my sweet Bash. We are forever grateful!

After getting a 5 month old puppy who had been neglected by his previous owner we started having problems with house training and simple task like walking through a door. He was unable to walk on a leash and had such low confidence in anything he would do. Once Tyler and I talked on the phone he told me he was unfamiliar with the breed (hanging tree cow dog). Two days later he called back to check in and was able to tell me things about the breed that I didn’t even know even with owning him. Once training started he would give regular updates and send videos of his improvement. When the board and train ended Tyler was very helpful with any further questions I had and offered to meet so we could do sessions with me included. Overall he did an amazing job at building my dog’s confidence and furthering my knowledge in training a dog. In the future I will use him for all of my dog’s training.

The trainer, Tyler, was extremely professional in all his exchanges with me. He took my life situation into account (widow, 70, on daily PD dialysis) and made a number of recommendations as a result. He shared information about my dog’s breed history that I didn’t know and was very helpful to me in understanding my puppy’s temperament. He kept my Cookie a couple days beyond her return date to work her a bit more to get her training where he wanted it. When she came home, it took a couple days for her to settle back in and for us to figure out the best nighttime arrangement—this only due to my being on my machine at night, and her still being too young to hold her urine 9 hrs—but within about 3 days she no longer had any indoor accidents and when I followed Tyler’s instructions, we got into a regular routine together. Having had the basic puppy training, she now follows the following commands very well: go potty , here, sit, heel, down, off, easy, enough, kennel, out (drop it), leave it— and she certainly knows what ‘no’ means. She knows when she approaches a door she must sit down until commanded to cross the threshold. Equally, she must remain seated until invited to come out of h

Tyler helped get my dog’s obedience and protection back in order. I was traveling for work, nearly a year, and my Belgian Malinois had lost some drive and obedience. I just moved to Augusta and Tyler brought her back to her prime. My K9, Athena, has become motivated to work like she used to thanks Tyler’s help. My dog stayed with him for a month of boarding and training and he went through an extensive training refresher with me afterwards. Athena is complemented all the time, and I attribute it all to Tyler. Tyler kept me updated regularly and I have learned a lot from him too. I only use Down South K9 for boarding and training now. I recommend Tyler to everyone.

Tyler is amazing! He turned an impossible situation completely around for our pup, Boone. Our first trainer was not training Boone correctly, so Tyler had to untrain him first. Within a few weeks we had a very manageable puppy with manners and obedience. Tyler has the skills, knowledge and heart for doing what he does, not only for Boone but for us as well. He goes above and beyond for us to ensure Boone stays on track. I can't say enough about him. We are forever grateful!!
