Real five-star reviews from Google and Facebook, from families who trained their own dogs with Scott.

We have had an amazing experience with Florida's Finest K9!! Every week, Scott demonstrates the exercises, watches us work with our dog, and gives practical feedback that we can immediately apply [...]

Florida's Finest K9 has been, without a doubt, the best investment we've made for our dog. Scott does an outstanding job explaining the methodology and exercises, demonstrating with his own dog, and then coaching us through it [...]

Simply put: Scott was fantastic and exceeded all expectations. Scott came highly recommended but I was quite skeptical with the idea of a remote training process, esp. for our dog who is not a puppy anymore. [...]

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Scott. I never in my life imagined I would have a dog that behaves as well as Yami does. We started training her when she was 10 months old, due to our busy schedules we FaceTimed with him once a week. He never even met her in person but the training we got was life changing. [...] We are able to bring her EVERYWHERE with us because we have the confidence that she will listen to us. Life is so much more enjoyable not only for us, but for her too!

Couldn't be happier with the training Cooper received from Florida's Finest K9 Obedience Training. Scott did an awesome job and his training method really works. Cooper's obedience and behavior improved a ton [...]

My husband and our newly adopted German Shepard enrolled in all three of Scott's dog training courses (Obedience 1, 2, and 3) and recently graduated. We all had a wonderful learning experience with Scott. He is thorough, patient [...]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING Trainer and person. Scott and I connected about 7 months ago. I was skeptical at first because my pup was 7-8 weeks. He encouraged me to start training now. [...]

I can't say enough great things about Florida's Finest Canine and our trainer, Scott. His knowledge and patience truly set him apart. Training two dachshund puppies at the same time was definitely a challenge [...]

I told him I had been thru four previous trainers before him. They all had different training methods, but none of them had gotten me up to the level that I wanted to be at with my dog. [...] He worked with me by explaining the command first, then demonstrating it with his own dogs and finally having me try it with my own dog. He then tweaked each of my movements until I got it just right. [...] It was my pleasure to work with Scott over the course of all three of his modules and I highly recommend his services for anyone, with any dog at any level.

About 9 months ago my two male pits randomly starting fighting each other after years of being together. The fights would get worse and more aggressive each time. [...]

Scott is a fantastic trainer and an amazing person. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! He is professional, patient, insightful and genuinely cares for your success with your dog. [...]

Ruchi G.Google review

For the past 6 months I have had the pleasure of working with Scott as he has been training my dog as a service dog. I can't think of a better experience than the one I've had with Scott. He is professional, efficient [...]

I have two pups under 3 and I was at the point where I needed to find a trainer for some sanity. I had already taken one to a group class and another private trainer but the obedience was not sticking. [...]

I highly recommend Florida's Finest K9 Obedience Training! Not only did Scott help address a few concerns with my 4 y/o rescue, Maggie, but he also gave me the tools throughout his Obedience 1 & 2 programs to continue her training [...]

Jessica P.Google review

We started training with Scott and Florida's Finest K9 obedience training back in October with our chihuahua mix puppy, we have since completed obedience 1 and obedience 2. Following Scott's program we have been thrilled with how obedient she now is, and is all positive reinforcement! His “train the trainer” approach has given me all the tools to successfully train my puppy and feel confident implementing the exercises myself.

Amanda B.Google review

From the beginning to now, where I am in the 3rd training phase session 5, Scott has been there with me the whole time. The thing you have to realize is YOU have to do the HOMEWORK or this program will not work for you, period. [...]

Ronald P.Google review

Scott is amazing to work with and has taught not only my dog but me so much about this process! I have a large dog, and he can be a lot to handle, but since working with Scott, my dog is becoming so much easier to handle [...]

Arianna C.Google review

We adopted Arrow about 2 months ago and after doing research of what kind of training we would wanted to do we met Scott. We are so happy we decided to start our process with him. He is very knowledgeable [...]

Angela W.Google review

Thank you so much to Florida's finest k9 obedience training! Scott is a wonderful trainer and made the process easy. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is always available to answer any questions you may have [...]

Aimee C.Google review

Before starting with Florida's Finest K9 Olga was a bit to handle. She suddenly now listens is calm, learning and focused. [...] She is house trained, doesn't bark, behaves in the car, goes on trips, walks quietly, doesn't chase cats, and is extremely obedient. As far as Scotts training regime, he is focused, stern, kind, sincere and determined. He doesn't quit no matter how hard it gets.

Tresha M.Google review

Scott is an awesome trainer! We are so thankful to have found Florida's Finest K9 Obedience Training. When we decided on getting not one but two little puppies, we knew we needed serious training and a plan! [...]

I started training Tucker my pit/lab mix when he was six months old with Scott at Florida's finest K9 obedience training. It was truly the best decision I ever made!! I was so impressed with how professional, patient [...]

Debi S.Google review

I cannot recommend Scott at Florida's Finest k9 enough! He has successfully trained two of my dogs, and the results have been absolutely amazing. [...]

Monika S.Google review

Before reaching out to Florida's Finest my dog did not listen to simple commands like Come, definitely was not a off leash dog, and she was aggressive, not a good family dog for my kids. Now after training with Scott I can confidently say my dog listens and knows commands Come, Sit, Down, Heel and more. She no longer has aggressive behavior and has turned into a wonderful family dog that can be off leash and have picnics with my kids. [...] Definitely the best trainer and so happy we had your help!!

I would like to start off by saying thank you to Scott, for helping us with Khloe. She is a 7 month old Dalmatian, that has a mind of her own and we just really thought she couldn't be trained. [...]

Jessica V.Google review

Scott is an excellent trainer with thorough knowledge of a dog and what it takes to make your best friend the best boi or girl ever! [...] I started my Goldendoodle Magic at 4 months old and we are almost thru the end of the program. Magic has shown great progress and is now a totally different dog who sits, downs, stays and heals on command; to name a few.

Ramona A.Google review

Before we started with Scott, we had sent Olivia to an away training camp. Wished we had known about Scott before that debacle. She came back skittish and didn't listen to us. Scott has turned all that around. It is so different when you are training your own dog. Yes, he will hold you accountable if you do not do your homework.

Michele N.Facebook recommendation

Scott is a great trainer. He wants you and your pups to succeed. He explains all the steps so that you have a clear understanding on how the training works. [...] I felt the time spent training also helped create a wonderful bond between me and my dog. Now our Great Dane puppy a little over a year, 130 pounds, Rigger is the best behaved dog on the block.

Amy W.Facebook recommendation

Scott isn't just a great trainer, he's a great person! He is patient with you but will hold you accountable for doing your homework. My dog is 6 1/2 months old and is already starting with off-leash training; I couldn't have done it with any other program and without Scott as a teacher. Training your dog takes time and this program is top notch. [...] Worth every penny and every day of working with my dog (whom happens to love Scott).

Anick T.Google review

Scott opened up the door to a world of training knowledge we never experienced before. His patience, professionalism, constancy, top notch training knowledge are his true attributes. Thank you Scott for teaching US to be the best parents to StellaValentina! We are very grateful and know we could never be where we are at without you!
