Diversity K9 Services

I can’t say enough good things about Diversity K9 and Tracy especially! I recently adopted a shmedium-sized, mixed breed puppy (Charlotte), and as she was settling in she was barking and lunging at new things more and more. I knew a little bit of her background and worried she was lacking confidence from under exposure. I did 3 evaluations with 3 different trainers/companies to make an informed decision, and Tracy absolutely stood out as the trainer I wanted to work with. In just a short time with Charlotte she could tell that her behaviors were coming from insecurity and talked with me at length about what training would look like for that. Though I was dreading the thought of being away from her, I opted for the board & train to help her get as much exposure as possible. It’s the best decision I could have made for her! Tracy sent me updates every few days, did private sessions once a week so I could see my sweet girl, and absolutely eased my mind in every way. Charlotte wasn’t just doing well in training, she also absolutely loves Tracy! I think it really says something when your pup not only listens and learns from their trainer but also totally adores them. After her training she walks on the leash amazing, has excellent recall, and no longer “screams” at new people and other pups (which in itself is a huge feat for her). We’ve kept up with her training by practicing what Tracy taught us and she’s doing so amazing. We get compliments all the time on how well she heels, how well she listens, and how well she practices self control around new people & dogs now. We’ve done our free tune up sessions from board & train and Charlotte is always so happy to see her favorite trainer Tracy 😍 I think it’s also important to know how patient Tracy is with ME! I get overwhelmed easily and will often trip up on what I should be doing and Tracy never made me feel dumb or like I was failing - she just told me what I should and could do and helped me along the way. She’s been so encouraging with both me and my pup. She really is so easy to talk to. I think in a world of trainers that often shame people for not being their best, Tracy really stands out as a trainer that is there for you and your pup. I really can’t stress what a relief this is for me because it truly helps me be my best for pup. I had crossed paths with Tracy and her team a handful of times in the past, as I volunteer in a dog rescue and they do a lot of work with rescues - but having my own experience really shone a light on just how great her and her whole team are. I always used to scoff when people said things like training can be fun, but I’m actually having a lot of fun with my pup training! We’re signed up for the Canine Good Citizen courses next and we can’t wait to get to work! Pictures of Charlotte at her favorite training facility 🥰

Diversity K9 is on its own level of awesome. Tracy & her team are true experts & it’s the only place I will ever trust to train or board our golden retriever Pup. We have had him stay here back when he was a few months old & eventually did a board & train when he turned 2. I was almost in tears when we were able to walk him without pulling for the first time, and over his impulse control since we’ve gotten him after his board and train. Our pup can also get pretty anxious when we leave him, but he is completely comfortable / loves coming here, & I know he is in the greatest hands. This gives so much peace of mind when leaving. My family has also worked with Tracy & her team for years with our German Shepherds, with the exact same experiences. I cannot thank you enough Tracy & the Diversity K9 team! Only place in Central FL to consider when training or caring for your pup.

Tracy and her team are true experts. We had our dog board and get trained as we travelled out of the country for a month. During the process Tracy would text or whatsapp every 2-3 days with updates and videos. She even told us that our dog was fully trained almost 1 week earlier then her boarding time. Once we returned she met with us for over an hr to walk though commands and show us results. My dog was fully trained in 4 weeks and as we stick to the process we have had no issues in doing walks. Our dog also learned here, place and free. I would highly recommend Diversity K9 and Tracy.
