K9Strong - Rehabilitation & Conditioning

In 2019, my husband & I were devastated when our four year old lab suffered an FCE, (a spinal cord stroke) which damaged one hind leg severely. Dr. Bercier was recommended to us by our veterinarian, and we credit her with rehabilitating Max to the point that he has enjoyed a normal, happy life despite a slight limp. From the first day that we took Max to Dr. B to this day four years later, we feel such gratitude for her endless efforts with him. She used many forms of treatment, including her getting into the pool with Max to encourage his use of the injured leg. Our confidence in Dr. Bercier and our good relationship with her are such that any time Max needs additional rehab, we immediately return to her for treatment. We trust her, we appreciate her, & we strongly recommend her to anyone who seeks the highest quality rehabilitation for a beloved pet. Thank you so much, Dr. Bercier!

Training here has made such a positive change in my dog (and me)! We both are more confident, and I can take her out in public without worrying about her acting out, or being reactive to other dogs and people. Danielle is wonderful at dog and people training! It's a bit of a drive from Pensacola, but absolutely worth it! The class sizes are perfect. I highly recommend K9 Strong!

She is a vet, she is the owner of an IPO3 dog and have been going to class for weeks Love Dr. Danielle Berciere! We are breeders and we take our german shepherds to train with us, including rescue gsd (from the Joy committee) and owners of our litter! Price is incredibly reasonable! Will do more classes for our german shepherds!

I refer all of my puppy buyers to K9 Strong. Dr Bercier is very knowledgeable and always very welcoming. I also will soon be joining for some tracking classes. She has many years of vast knowledge and she has passed all of the trials with her own dog to prove that she can train you to trial yours as well.

5 stars to Dr. Danielle Bercier and K-9 Strong Rehab! I believe the work she did with our dog after knee surgery accelerated the healing process and provided a level of support that we so badly needed. Working with K-9 strong gives the owner a way to participate in their pets rehab and serves as a weekly check on the animals progress. It was priceless for us and I am forever grateful. I recommend her to everyone I know!

Our Rottweiler Maddie had not just one but two injured Cranial Cruciate Ligaments in her "knees", and we were facing $8-10k in really invasive surgeries. Dr. Bercier suggested we try stem cell therapy, and the improvement has been incredible. Maddie's gone from being nearly crippled at her worst, to now having pain-free confident movement. She can run and play like a healthy dog, which is so gratifying! Based on our experience, I can't recommend this highly enough.

Krentz is a 13 year old 'working' Labrador retriever. Developing arthritis in the last years, he has been on 2 arthritis Rx's, a painkiller Rx, and in late winter began laser treatments. Our vet recommended that we try K9Strong as an additional option. We began with Dr. Bercier in late March, 2017. She examined him and asked for xrays that had never been taken so back to vet for xrays. The xrays showed that injuries he had sustained at a beach in December were actually something just waiting to happen for a number of years. Dr. B has put Krentz through his paces: her examinations, stretching him, massaging him, and taking him swimming in her canine PT pool. What she showed us were simple therapy exercises that he does without being forced to do; mini-biscuits help! She suggested a kid's plastic wading pool at home that is used to 'dig' at capturing his ball; he'll tire of digging [core strengthening] and just pick up ball in his mouth and leave the wading pool! I hope to add recent photos in the pool but only have older videos at present. In early April, we were facing euthanasia. Dr. Bercier added another alternative therapy to the mix: the Assisi Loop. After about a week of daily use of this pulsed electromagnetic devise, Krentz began to walk as he had prior to the injury. We slowly began his multiple daily walks of varying distances. Now, as he continues to partake in the simpler joys of his senior years with less pain [and no painkiller Rx], he continues with his land PT, pool PT, arthritis Rx's, weekly laser, and Assisi loop. He readily goes up to Dr B's door at the barn/office looking for her each time we arrive at the farm. She is very good working with not only Krentz but his parents as well!!!

Dr B is the best for dog training. I would highly recommend her. She is very professional and explains everything in great detail. She taught me how to have control of my dog. We will definitely continue training classes with her.
