I highly recommend Waller K9. Dylan is extremely professional and knowledgeable about dogs of all breeds and ages. We have a 2-year-old Rottweiler who struggled with anxiety and reactivity when meeting strangers. After completing the 6-week BOSS program with Dylan, he is a completely different dog—much more confident and obedient when meeting new people and experiencing new environments. Throughout the program, we received regular updates and videos showing his training and socialization progress. I truly can’t recommend this facility enough.

When I got my first puppy over a year ago, I was quickly on the hunt for a trainer because my pup was very unruly. That’s when I found Dylan at Waller K-9 — and I’m so thankful I did. During our initial meet and greet, I could immediately tell how much he truly loved and cared for dogs. His passion for training and commitment to helping both dogs and their owners was so clear from the start.
From that point on, I knew that whenever my pup was at Waller K-9 — whether for training or boarding — he would be in safe, capable hands, and I would never have to worry. Every time my dog stays with Dylan, he treats him like his own. It gives me such incredible peace of mind knowing my fur baby is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while I’m away.
Dylan truly goes above and beyond, and it shows in how comfortable and excited my dog is every time he goes back. I cannot recommend Dylan and Waller K-9 enough to anyone looking for a trainer they can completely trust!

Searched all over for the right place to take our dog Hank for dog aggression and never found the right place until I read reviews for Walker K9 and very glad we chose them. From the moment spoke on the phone we could tell it would be a great fit. Once we dropped him off and watching Dylan work with him briefly I knew he would be in good hands. We were given updates regularly with text , and videos of Hank and that made us feel great. After coming to visit Hank and watching how much Hank liked Dylan it made us feel great that he was in good hands. He did a complete turn around and got to be off Leash with the puck running the property . The environment that Waller k9 has is great from the kennels and the property to roam is awesome. 5 stars !

Waller K-9 came highly recommended by close friends and all I have to say is five stars for the entire experience. The facilities are state of the art and my dog Henry loved the experiance. I have brought him back for boarding as well and no doubt Waller K-9 is the pros for dog training/boarding. I live in Pensacola and well worth the drive if you are considering who to train your pup. The education that is given to the dog owners was extremly helpful with using his Ecollar after he came home. We will defenitly be back!

I’m a first time dog owner to spunk pup named Birdie. She’s got a lot of spirit and attitude but is also incredibly sensitive. We brought her to Dylan in hopes of socializing her more and to help us navigate the trials of puppy training. We went with the 6 week program that included e-collar training and it was 100% worth it. Dylan has such a great understanding of how dogs communicate and how to adjust training to their needs. His property allowed Birdie to run free and make friends with other dogs which she desperately needed. I was able to visit her about once a week and the progress felt instant. She was a jumper, biter and refused commands when she felt like it. Now she’s much more tame but still our spunky dog. We can introduce her to others without fear she’ll topple them over with her exuberance. Dylan runs such a wonderful business, he’s easy to communicate with and has helped me greatly understand how to build a better relationship with my dog. I cannot recommend his training enough.

Had a great experience with Waller K-9. Our dogs showed real improvement, and we learned a lot too. We’re glad to be able to have a more enjoyable life with our dogs now and continue using training tips they gave us. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Waller K-9 is the best! Dylan worked wonders with our English Springer Spaniel and I highly recommend his training program. He showed patience and love to our dog while enrolled. Winston started the program very undisciplined and rowdy, but returned home well-mannered and disciplined.

Highly recommend Waller K-9! Worth every penny! Dylan was awesome and very personable off the rip. My dad was looking for training for a newly acquired lab mix puppy named Shadow. When we got him, he was like a wild child toddler, jumping on people and furniture...not listening and running all over uncontrollably when at the park. He was only 8 months, but within a week of having him we knew that behavior was not acceptable and my dad needed to be able to control and have a good mannered dog. My dad had called other places, but hearing about the boarding and the time put into pack training he sold us because you can tell Dylan is passionate and knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. He takes pride in his work, personally coming to our home and on outings like the store or the park to help my dad learn how to leash train Shadow. He sent us videos of Shadow’s progress and we were allowed to come visit the camp to see the environment he was in. When Shadow got out of the camp, he looked healthy and happy and actually responded to commands and showed a lot of progress. We were provided with treats and toys and the proper collar to continue the training plus Dylan remained a point of contact and offered his place if we ever needed to board him for a vacation or anything. Just awesome! Shadow is such a sweet addition to the family and we thank Waller K-9 for helping us create that loyalty and trust with him!

We brought our Maddie out to spend a couple of weeks with Dylan when she was around 10 weeks old.
Camp Pup was perfect!!!
Her bitting was very playful but also very painful.
Yes she was very young but Dylan fixed this and gave her a super head start with many things that my wife and I couldn’t.
The facility has so much to offer…I have not been to anything like it.
You can tell instantly the Dylan is passionate about what he does. He lights up introducing you to all of the animals spending time with him.
Maddie’s is almost 6 months now and will be spending some more time with Dylan soon. Leash Leadership…
I work about 15 minutes away and Dylan invited me to come by anytime. I came several times during the two weeks she was there.
It was a very positive experience for us and for Maddie. (I think she’d have been happy to just stay with Dylan as he’s much more entertaining than we are.

My wife and I took in a stray puppy just weeks before a planned vacation and were told by our vet that he was likely a GSD mix and recommended professional training. We searched all along the Gulf Coast for a trainer who could both board and train him, and that’s when we found Dylan at Waller K-9.
Dylan was an absolute lifesaver. He took our puppy on short notice, kept us constantly updated with messages and videos, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away.
When we got back, Axel was a completely different dog—no more jumping, mouthiness, or general disobedience, while still keeping his puppy personality. We continue to bring him back for weekend stays about once a month, and he absolutely loves it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Dylan and Waller K-9 for anyone looking for top-notch training and boarding. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

Dylan is an excellent person who can train any dog! Our puppy was acting out and having a hard time getting adjusted. She stayed for two weeks and came back a different dog! Best experience ever!!
Sandra Ladd
We sent our 11 month Great Dane to Waller K-9 to learn basic discipline and some separation from us, as he would get upset if he was not with us. Dylan and his staff did a great job. Their kennels are very clean and well equipped. They provide socialization with other dogs and if any issues they work with the dog to help them overcome their issues. We went to visit Beau and were surprised at the bond between Beau and Dylan. Dylan and his staff take training very personally and not only are they trainers but become friends to the dog and the owners. We were very pleased with our results

I can’t say enough good things about Waller K-9 training. My pup struggled with following commands, walking on a leash, social behavior, etc. Dylan did amazing work with him. He came back way more socialized and doing great with simple manners. Dylan also taught me how to continue the training at home ! 10/10 experience
Mary Anna Brand
Dylan and his team are fantastic! Attentive, professional, and make you and your pup feel like a part of the family. Opie loved Camp Pup, and I was thankful to know he was in good hands. Dylan is extremely knowledgeable, and his training approach is positive, fun, and effective. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

My puppy Finn attended Camp Pup for two weeks, and it has made a huge difference! He was biting and jumping on people, as well as destroying my house. Now he will obey much better. He hasn’t bitten or destroyed anything since coming home. He is also potty trained now. Even though he is still a full on rambunctious puppy, our home is much more peaceful. Finn is so fun, loving and sweet, and gets along so well with other dogs because of the socialization he got at Camp Pup. We still work daily on the training that Dylan showed me before Finn left, which makes a huge difference. I couldn’t recommend Waller K-9 enough.

Excellence. I took my 6 months old rotwweiler puppy to him for a 4 week board and train and I brought my puppy back for a week to board .. He is excellent all around . Excellent trainer , he takes excellent care of the dogs ,excellent facility and kennels . I cant say enough good things. He went above and beyond . My puppy not only received excellent training , he also loved being there . I will definitely send my rotwwieler back for further training and boarding needs . He deserves more than 5 stars .

Thanks to Dylan, my pup Louie is always a pleasure to be with. Did the 6 week course. Louie enjoyed learning so much that when he returned for boarding, he was actually excited to be there.
Jodi Turner
Dylan and crew and have done a great job with our pups! We travel with our dogs, as well as take them out socially and on walks. They needed some discipline and training to make those outings more enjoyable and Dylan was great to help with that!
We also still board them with Dylan if they can't travel with us. They love every visit, while also getting some refreshers on training.

If you’re looking for someone to train your pup, Dylan is the one! I was ready to give up on our rescue, Mia, but came across Waller K9. Dylan taught her all the things and now she’s an angel, most days! He even worked with our kids on how to work with her to be the dog we needed in our family! Now Mia goes to “play” when we go out of town. Yesterday, she was so excited when we pulled in to drop her off, her tail was literally hitting me in the face and she couldn’t get out of the car fast enough.
