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.

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!

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.

I highly recommend K9Strong training. Dr. Bercier does a great job teaching how to get through to your dog for good results. Classes are small so you get plenty of individual instruction and a lot of fun for the dogs and humans as well. Dr. Bercier being a Veterinarian is a real plus in answering any questions you may have. We had a great time and feel like we now have the tools to train our Finn properly.

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.

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!

I wish we could give 10 stars. I have worked with rescued dogs for over 40 years in three southern states. During that time I have also worked with some great dog trainers. Dr. Danielle Bercier is at the top of that list. She is patient but firm. Her classes are fun and she keeps them small so that everyone gets attention for their dogs unique issues. I was worried that we would not fit in because I am currently working with a mixed breed shelter dog. We have been welcomed with open arms and provided with the guidance of a true professional who understands how dogs (and people) learn. The most important thing to me is that Dr. Bercier is always an advocate for the dog. K9 Strong has become our happy place!

My Brittany, almost age 13, tore her cruciate ligament in her rear right knee. Recovery from the surgery was pretty tough on her because of her age. I brought her to Dr. Bercier. There are no words to really describe how appreciative I am to K9 Strong. Dr. Bercier's treatment plan plus her advice on supplements and meds to relieve pain and inflammation have certainly paid off. And she consistently evaluated my Brittany's condition even on days we were just there for another underwater treadmill session. Kudos too to assistant Kim who was attentive and whose sense of humor made the sessions fun. I know my dog would not be doing so well were it not for Dr. Bercier's experience and compassion. Thank you K9 Strong. Dana Roberts

My pet Scarlett just finished therapy with Dr. B at K9 Strong. She had ACL surgery and with Dr. B's help she is actually doing better than she was before her ACL injury appeared. I would highly recommend her services. They are professional, efficient and most helpful to any and every need your pet has.

I couldn't recommend K9 Strong and Dr. Bercier enough! I started taking my dog Lincoln there in September for water treadmill rehab sessions after his TPLO knee surgery in August. Now, 2 months later, he's in better shape than he was before his injury. They take great care of each animal and offer so many beneficial services, 10/10!

This place is amazing. My dog was unable to walk due to an FCE. When I brought him here I was not very hopeful about his recovery but Dr. B has loved him back to health in just a short amount of time. He can now run and jump and play. He is so happy and we are so happy with his recovery. I highly recommend K9 Strong.

I adopted my dog Grace from a shelter when she was about 9 months old. Nothing was known about her previous owners other than the fact that she was obviously loved and well cared for. My goal at Dr Bercier’s K9 Strong classes was to learn how to teach some basic commands and to improve Grace’s behavior while leash walking. All those goals were met. I enjoyed Dr Bercier’s classes and her calm way of providing instruction made learning an enjoyable task.Sent from my iPad

So glad we did the CGC course with Dr. B. My boy is deaf, so teaching him in a way that he understands isn't easy. But Dr. B was able to help me communicate more clearly with him and he passed his test easily!

After our lab suffered an FCE event, we began immediate rehab with Dr. Bercier. Her knowledge, her technique, her facilities, & especially her genuine concern for Max have enabled him to experience recovery sooner than we had ever expected. We are so grateful to have this excellent doctor, this compassionate woman to lead us through these weeks of recovery. She has helped not only our pet but also my husband & me as she has explained each step of his rehab. I strongly recommend Dr. Bercier & K9 Strong.

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!

Dr. Bercier has been great with Charlie, my USAR live search dog. He had surgery to repair three blown discs after an injury. He was completely paralyzed and is walking today, with daily improvement. We are very grateful for her support and guidance during rehab!

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 has a great facility. It is very clean and roomy. She is very professional and answered all of my questions. I like the fact that she took the time to coach my boy into the pool and also invited me in with him to make him comfortable. She also helps with the socialization of my dogs. We had a great time and will certainly be returning soon.
