Devlin is a miracle worker. We sent him our Husky Boxer mix who can be more than a handful and refused to listen. We got back a a dog that is so much more fun to run around and play with and most importantly behaves. He is just a better version of himself. When we take him out on town people compliment how well behaved he is. Devlin communicates well and does a great job making the whole experience easy. Panhandle Dog Trainer has my business forever

Recently, I sent my golden doodle, 6 year old Churchill, and my son and daughter-in-laws’ 6 month old supermutt, Mable, to training with Devlin and Rachel. From my first contact, the professionalism in setting expectations and overall communication was excellent. It made me feel very comfortable sending my dogs with them for a month. During the training process, this level of professionalism continued. Their communication and understanding is exemplary. I felt more confident in my decision with each passing day. The responsiveness to my questions was always immediate. The updates through social media were always personal, entertaining and reassuring. When the session completed my dogs were delivered safely to my door. There we had a comprehensive class with Devlin. My view is this is the most important part…training the owner. He reviewed all commands and techniques for reinforcing the training while providing answers to all our questions. Devlin also extended an invitation to call him at anytime with any questions. I wish all service providers I deal with were as knowledgeable, professional and polite as Devlin and Rachel. Their work with my dog and my son’s, from 6 months to 6 years of age, was amazing. I can not give them any higher endorsement. Great experience and tremendous value!!!

We can't recommend Devlin's Board & Train program highly enough. Devlin is the consummate professional, incredibly knowledgeable and thorough in his work with the dogs and interactions with owners. Devlin and Rachel did excellent work with our 6 month-old "supermutt" puppy, Mabel, and my father's 7 year-old goldendoodle, Churchill!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Dog Whisperer of the Panhandle — Devlin Duvenhage
We are absolutely blown away by the transformation Devlin Duvenhage brought about in our Labrador puppy, Ellie. From the moment we entrusted her to his care, we knew she was in the hands of someone truly special. Devlin isn’t just a trainer—he’s a dog whisperer with an extraordinary gift for understanding and communicating with dogs.
Ellie came back to us with her sparky little puppy personality fully intact—but now paired with a level of obedience, confidence, and calm that has changed our daily life. She used to walk us… now she walks beside us. She’s a joy on and off the leash, and it’s clear that this training will allow her to be a constant companion on all the adventures we love.
What sets Devlin apart is not just his talent, but his deep love and respect for dogs. That gave us so much comfort during the 4 weeks she was away. He consistently kept us updated with videos and messages, which helped bridge the gap while we missed her—and showed us her incredible progress every step of the way.
Equally valuable was the training Devlin gave us when Ellie returned. He made sure we felt empowered, supported, and fully equipped to continue what she had learned. And the fact that we can reach out to him at any time going forward is the kind of ongoing support every dog owner dreams of.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to Devlin’s wife Rachel, who clearly poured love and skill into Ellie’s development too. Their teamwork and commitment are unmatched.
If you’re looking for a dog trainer, stop searching now. Devlin Duvenhage is the only choice. Entrusting Ellie to him was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made—and we will be forever grateful.

Devlin did an amazing job with our Golden Retriever. The difference in his skills, knowledge, and willingness to listen and pay close attention is night and day. I would highly recommend Panhandle Dig Training to anyone.
