Devon is beyond incredible, he’s willing to go beyond and above for you and your dog’s safety and love.

Devon is beyond incredible, he’s willing to go beyond and above for you and your dog’s safety and love. We did the 4 week program with him room and board and he took care of our Aussie - Breeze, she was having issues of anxiety, separation issues and even some issues with leash walking. Devon and his beautiful wife were so kind to us during our 3 year old dogs stay with him. Breeze was at his home training while we delivered our first son 34 weeks and emergency C Section. They kept our girl until our baby boy came home after a 50 day stay in the NICU. Zero questions asked and just kept giving us love and support during a very difficult time in our family. I would never have asked for him to do such a wonderful thing for us, this came from the bottom of his heart. I would recommend him time and time again. Someone to be this willing and caring to provide the best services for his clients is beyond me! My Breeze is living her best life off leash and is so easy going and way less stress. It helped us become better pup parents as well as real parents. Again, thank you for everything you’ve done for our family and our babies! Devon with Cross Fire K-9 is the real deal and is willing to do everything for YOU he won’t scam you and he’s very honest humble and extremely kind. We are beyond grateful and will be sending our other pups in time! Thank you 🩵🩵 Less

I can't say enough good things about Crossfire K9 and their incredible dog training program! We entrusted our energetic puppy, Loki to them for four weeks of board and train and the transformation has been nothing short of miraculous.From the moment we met Devon, it was clear that he has a deep understanding of dog behavior and training techniques. They focused on impulse control, loose leash walking, and recall, and the results speak for themselves. Our once hyperactive puppy now walks calmly beside us and responds to commands with enthusiasm and confidence.The personalized attention and care Crossfire K9 provided made a world of difference. They kept us updated with progress reports and were always available for any questions we had. It's evident that they genuinely care about the dogs they train and their families.If you're looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable trainer who can work wonders with your pup, look no further than Crossfire K9. We are so grateful for his expertise and support, and we now have a well-mannered puppy who brings joy to our lives every day! Less
*I know this is long, but it has the details you want to know!* We rescued our 1-year-old pit bull, Boogie, in October of 2024, and we had little to no knowledge of his background other than he was once with a family but was found as a stray.

*I know this is long, but it has the details you want to know!* We rescued our 1-year-old pit bull, Boogie, in October of 2024, and we had little to no knowledge of his background other than he was once with a family but was found as a stray. While he was a very sweet boy, it was clear he had no training in his first home. He didn't know many commands, he constantly pulled on leash, he was very distracted out in public and would not listen, and with us living in the very busy oceanfront area it was very important for us to have a dog with good recall skills. We originally tried training services at a large chain pet retail store, which we quickly learned was not the best option for Boogie, because he needed a more one-on-one environment. This also wasn't very effective due to the time limitations, and we didn't feel very confident going home and implementing what we had learned. After that we knew we needed professional services, so we reached out and spoke with about 5-10 different dog training services in the area. Devon was hands down the one we felt most confident with. He asked about our struggles, and our goals, and what we want most out of training our dog, but he also tied in Boogie and his breed and what would work best for him. He was the only trainer that really got to know Boogie on the call, and not just us. He also gave us a bunch of useful tips and tricks on the call before we even booked his services! We decided to sign Boogie up for the day train program, where one day a week Boogie would go stay with Devon and progress in his training, and at the end of the day we would pick him up and learn what he learned. We chose this, because we wanted to learn and grow with Boogie as well. During his training sessions we received photos and videos of Devon and Boogie putting in so much work. Now, if you get anything from this review, please know that Devon is not just a dog trainer- he is also a PET OWNER TRAINER. After each day train, Devon spent so much time with us at pick up going over what he and Boogie did that day and made sure that we knew how to continue those skills and commands in the correct way. This makes us feel so much more confident as dog owners! He was also incredibly communicative and flexible in the schedule with vacations, sickness, weather, etc. It was clear we were working with a person who was passionate and understanding, and not just there for a check. It was very important for us to have a well-trained dog, that was still able to have fun and be playful, and that is exactly where we are today, and it doesn't even stop there. We will continue to stay in touch and use Devon for his boarding services forever, because we know Boogie loves him and spending time there, and we are incredibly confident our four-legged baby is well taken care of. There is also a post-training group where you can meet up with other dogs and owners once your training is complete, and we are incredibly excited for that. Overall, we cannot recommend Devon enough. I have already referred him to a friend of mine who is also greatly enjoying his services! If you are on the edge, I strongly encourage you to reach out to Devon and see what your options are, because I would hope that every dog at some point in their life gets to spend a day with Devon. His love and knowledge are worth every penny, and some. Less
Super impressed with our time with Devon and the way he was able to give me the training to work with my dog and then me and my dog the language for us to communicate. I can walk my dog without the stress of him pulling and lunging and my dog can enjoy walks way more now that he’s able to walk off leash. Highly recommend!... More

Devon is honestly the best trainer I have met, and I have tried a few so far. I am so happy with the results of the 6-week day training program at Crossfire K9. My 3 year old pup Charlie, has undergone a complete transformation, and I can't express enough how grateful I am for Devon's professionalism and commitment to Charlie and myself. Before the program, my dog had a very difficult time with reactivity and was hard for me to control on and off leash. After completing the training, he walks on a leash without any issues at all and is even more comfortable being off-leash than on! Devon’s training was a true confidence booster for Charlie and I cannot recommend him enough to anyone who is struggling to find the perfect fit for their dog. Thank you Crossfire K9 and Devon, you made the biggest difference in Charlie’s life and my own as a dog owner. Less

I am beyond impressed with the 6-week day training program at Crossfire K9 with Devon! My 4-year-old dog, Roosevelt, has completely transformed, and I honestly can't thank Devon enough for his dedication and professionalism. Before starting the program, my dog struggled with reactivity and had limited on and off-leash control, which caused a lot of stress for both of us. Now, after completing the training, she’s not only able to walk on leash with no issues, but also off-leash with ease. She’s also calm and focused in environments that once triggered her reactivity. It’s incredible to see how her confidence and happiness have blossomed. I can't believe I waited four years to prioritize this. Devon at Crossfire K9 was exceptional in his approach, tailoring the program to suit not only my dog’s needs, but mine as well with scheduling and understanding the training concepts Devon utilizes. Devon was always making sure we were on the right track. The progress has been life-changing—not just for my dog, but for our relationship. I now have a well-behaved, happy, and confident dog who I can enjoy outdoor adventures like camping and hiking with, worry-free. Thank you, Crossfire K9, for the invaluable impact you've had on our lives! I highly recommend the 6 week day train to anyone looking to take their dog’s training and overall ease of life to the next level. Less
Devon has the ability to train the owner as well as the dog. He educates you on the way the dogs think, react and behave. He’s very passionate about his craft.

I initially started with one-on-one sessions, which were great, but my dog Avery needed more than I could provide. After discussing it, we decided that a board and train would be the best option for her situation. It was tough to see my pup leave for a month, but the results have been absolutely incredible—1000% worth the investment and the wait! Don’t hesitate to work with Devon! I can't thank him enough for transforming my highly reactive Australian Shepherd into a calm and well-behaved little princess. Thanks again! Less

Devon is amazing when it comes to fully understanding dogs and their needs. He is great about communicating with clients and really wants the best outcome for your pet! He gives all of the pups he works with a fantastic outlet to just be dogs! He truly understands the benefits of letting your dog be able to have freedom safely and effectively. From what I have seen he has helped so many pups have solid recall. And has even helped reactive dogs become well rounded, and the best part is he does it in a way that makes the dogs feel safe with their trainer. Because after all a dog who feels comfortable and confident is going to excel far more than a dog who is fearful of their trainer. He is the best! Get your pup working with CrossFire k9 asap! Less

I have been having training my dog at home since the moment she stepped in my door. All of my training advice came from YouTube, but I’ve been searching for more tailored advice for my dog specifically. I recently scrolled through instagram and saw an ad for Devon’s free training program. I reached out to him via dm and got a response back within minutes. I wasn’t expecting him to personally answer my dm and I definitely wasn’t expecting him to want to talk over the problems I was having with my dogs. Now I may be biased because we are both Marines, but regardless, I would highly recommend this dog trainer to anyone who needs advice with their dog. Good people with good intentions go far in life, and I hope that his business takes him as far as he wants to go. Less

As he’s gotten older it’s become clear that he needs a little more training than what I could provide and to be honest, I needed to be trained as well so I could be a better dog owner. (Lots of people miss the importance of that piece of the puzzle) Devon of Crossfire K-9 has completely changed our lives with Winston in the very best ways. Two of my pet peeves in life have been ill behaved kids and ill behaved dogs. His training has been a complete game change! I would not hesitate for one minute if you’re thinking about his training. It’s the best investment that we could have ever dreamed of….and it pays off every day❤️🙏🏼🐾 Less

I quickly learned it’s hard to have two, and Devon graciously came to my rescue! He whisked away my sweet puppy, trained him for 2.5 weeks, and brought me back a wonderfully behaved little angel. Not only that, but I received regular updates on how training was going, got a full training session for me to learn how to handle Era and his training going forward, and am looking forward to the ongoing group classes that come with the program. Crossfire k9 was reasonably priced amongst the various training programs in the area and worth absolutely every penny! Less

We consulted with multiple trainers in the area and moved forward with Devon based on his knowledge of dog training and understanding dog psychology. I could tell from the beginning he cared about my dog and my relationship with my dog and truly wanted to help. He answered any questions we had and always was explaining the "why" behind what we were doing in terms of the training. When we first started seeing Devon, our little Loki was pulling so hard on the leash we could not even take him on walks because he would completely exhaust himself. We now can enjoy long walks with him and even take him off leash since his recall is perfect now. We as well as everyone that has meet Loki prior to Devon, cannot believe he is the same dog he was 2 months ago and that is all thanks to Devon!! Devon is very invested, communicative, caring and thoughtful with his approach to helping your dog. Hiring Devon to be your trainer will be the best decision you make! We truly cannot recommend him enough and my husband and I always joke that Devon is a dog whisperer. Less

Riley was reactive to people and dogs which made him experience a lot of stress and frustration in his day to day, but with Devon's help, he has become a different dog! We are so grateful for his approach to dog training. Not only did he build the confidence within Riley by working closely with him every day during his board and train, but he gave us the confidence and so many tools to continue to help Riley every day. In just a few short months, he has done a complete 180 and not only does he follow our lead and listen to his commands with ease, but he now takes on the world with more curiosity and confidence and is FAR less bothered by people and dogs around him. We are so proud of him. Devon was extremely flexible with our work schedules and was wonderful in communicating and answering any and all of our questions throughout the entire process. We are forever grateful. Thank you Devon! Less

From the initial consultations with Devon from Crossfire K9 Training, he was helpful and invested. He really seeks to understand dogs and their motivations and needs and then tailor the training to what will work best for each individual dog. He reads them well and connects quickly. In our case, we had one dog who was reactive and one who was more shy. Devon assessed them both as fearful and lacking confidence and worked with me on how to build up their confidence and help them be happier, calmer, and way less reactive. We did in home training sessions and even with our family’s hectic schedule, it was amazing to see how quickly I saw an improvement. Devon explained what we were working on and why and was very open to all of my questions. He was available and invested between sessions for questions and support and remains so after we have wrapped up with our training package. Devon is honest, humble, incredibly skilled, always seeking to learn and improve, and committed to his clients. If you want a trainer who can do board and train or in home sessions, who cares about dogs and understands and connects with them quickly and empowers you to do the same, I highly recommend Crossfire K9 Training.

I cannot thank Devon enough for the love, care and training he gave to Scarlett Lynn, aka Mama, as he calls her.

(When he heard that she had babies, and had to give them up, he calls her Mama) First, Scarlett is a 3 1/2 year old husky mix rescue. I adopted her January 21, 2024. She chose me! And I never looked back! I took Scarlett to “puppy training “ through Care-a-lot and it was helpful (for me , a little) Then I saw that Devon trained a dog through Hope for Life, which is where I adopted Scarlett. I reached out to him for private sessions. He was amazing and taught ME so much during the 3 sessions we had-. I then talked to him about board & train. Board & train was the hardest decision I had to make for my Princess Scarlett! I cried for two days thinking about “making her leave” or “how is she going to feel” or “ did I let her down” or “ shes going to another place”. The day Devon came over to pick up Scarlett, he sat on the floor with me and Scarlett. I had tears in my eyes. He completely understood and he was there for her! We sat and talked with Scarlett there. Through the 3 weeks and 2 days, I was able to visit her when they were training. He sent me videos and pics. His wife was so sweet to send more pics and love Scarlett! Scarlett has been home for almost a week now and I am amazed! She has been so relaxed! Confident!! She knows commands…heel, sit, ok, Still working on everything but definitely worth the training and I cannot thank Devon enough for the love and training he gave to Scarlett Lynn!! We love you guys!

I am a senior citizen who suddenly had a standard poodle, Jack, on her hands. Personality-wise, he’s great, but we ran into some issues. I had Jack in group classes but he was very reactive and, despite being a seasoned dog-owner, I couldn’t break it. I recently had my knees replaced, he was stronger than I was, and I was to the point of tearfully wondering if I had been wrong in taking the dog... More
I am a senior citizen who suddenly had a standard poodle, Jack, on her hands. Personality-wise, he’s great, but we ran into some issues. I had Jack in group classes but he was very reactive and, despite being a seasoned dog-owner, I couldn’t break it. I recently had my knees replaced, he was stronger than I was, and I was to the point of tearfully wondering if I had been wrong in taking the dog. While talking with a friend, she mentioned having her dog trained by Devon, so I found him on Facebook. After much thought, I called Devon. He came to my house so we could talk, and I shared my worries. He listened to every problem, every issue, and all my concerns. I decided to let Devon train and board Jack. It was one of the best decisions I could've made. Devon kept me informed of Jack’s progress with pictures, videos, and play-by-play descriptions of their training. It was obvious from the videos that Jack was having a great time with Devon and his family. While Jack was halfway through training, I fell and broke my hip. When I told Devon, he didn’t hesitate to reassure me that Jack had a safe space until I could physically care for him again. He wound up staying for a couplel more weeks, continuing his training as part of their family. Devon’s training is so individualized that he borrowed a walking cane so Jack would get used to walking slowly at a heel, making sure there were no surprises when he got home. It is very obvious that Devon takes pride in his work and wants to ensure that everyone involved with Jack understands how to “talk” with him. Devon came specifically to work one-on-one with my neighbor/dog walker, then came back to talk to my grandson who regularly helps care for Jack. He stayed over an hour each time to ensure everyone has a thorough understanding of how to handle commands. I know this is a long review, but I feel it’s important for people to know the whole story. Not only is Devon a great dog trainer, he is truly a good person who cares for his clients, both dog & human. Less
There was a huge change in my dog. He went from pulling my arm off to being by side no matter how slow or fast I walk. Recommend 100%
Devon is an all around great guy to work with. He is understanding, personable, attentive, and just easy to talk to. He took both of my dogs in (boarding) when I needed it the most. I received pictures and videos throughout, logging walks and play time. I trusted him with both of my dogs and he did not disappoint! Highly recommend.... More

Our experience with Devon has been nothing short of excellent. The difference seen from our dog, Charlie, has been night and day since working with him.

I’m not even sure I have words that are adequate to convey how awesome Devon Blansett is as a person and as a dog trainer. As are many people I’m sure, I am looking for the best for my dog, Enzo. And boy, did he (we) get the best! The extent of Devon’s knowledge about how dog’s minds work (from psychology to biochemistry) and how to optimize their cooperation with a person while also respecting the fulfillment of the dog’s needs blew me away. Repeatedly! He was patient with my questions and is very generous sharing his knowledge with me, and on social media, providing tutorials and snippets of wisdom (often with a sense of humor). I’ve recommended him to anyone (perfect strangers, even) who mentions they have a concern about their dog’s behavior. Of course, the bottom line is the difference in Enzo after his 4-week board-and-train with Devon. He’s more attentive, disciplined, has impulse control, is more confident, and we have an understanding of what we expect from each other now. Devon has gone above and beyond to support Enzo’s transition back home, which includes helping me learn what I need to know to maintain all of the amazing qualities Devon instilled in Enzo. I still don’t feel like I’ve done justice to the quality of our experience, so I’ll just say that this is the best investment I’ve ever made in any dog I’ve been lucky enough to call my own! Thank you, Devon!! Less

We recently picked up our 9 month old Golden Retriever pup Philly from a 3 week board and train with Crossfire K9 Training, and I HIGHLY recommend it! This isn’t the first time we’ve used Devon either. We did some one hour sessions with him and our Saint Bernard a few years back. Philly is a wild high energy pup, and had a lot of bad habits (my fault). We decided to send him to Devon with the basic obedience board and train package. The 3 weeks he was gone, Devon provided multiple updates and pictures/videos to us. We were in communication almost every day. Devon did a great job with Philly and when we picked him up, we both agree he’s come a long way. Our family went for a walk tonight and there was a dog in someone’s yard going bananas, and Philly completely ignored it. He knows all of the commands and actually listens to us now. Since leaving, Devon has stayed in contact with us and encourages us to ask questions if we have any. I would highly recommend you trusting the Crossfire K9 team! Less

My dog has been through almost a year of training through a service dog training program for disabled veterans and I went with him to each of those classes. I am not at all unfamiliar with training dogs, however I was having issues with two specific tasks I needed my dog to do. I contacted them and Devon came over and did a free assessment of my dog and the issues I was having. During the free assessment he corrected the issue and my dog has never repeated the behavior since. I then had Devon come in and do 4 one hour in home sessions with my dog. In those 4 hours Devon taught me how to correct the issues and my dog has not repeated either issue since. I can’t speak highly enough of his advanced training knowledge. Was WELL worth the investment in the years that I will be teamed up working with my boy! Less

After trying all of the steps for a slow introduction of our dog and cat, we called Devon to help us with our dog. Our dog spent two weeks in focused training and returned home much more at ease. He went from uncontrolled barking at the sight of the cat to being able to sit on the couch with the cat quietly. We were in a very tough situation because we had already fallen in love with the dog and of course loved our cat and needed to find a way to coexist. In addition to the great job Devon did with our dog at his home, he also came to our house and worked with me to learn how to continue to train and work with our dog. Devon also helped with the initial reintegration. Devon was amazing at follow-up communications by checking in with our progress, addressing any concerns, answering questions, and providing support. I highly recommend Devon! Less

If you are looking for a dog trainer or a place to board your dogs look no further! Devon trained my 6 month old Belgian Malinois, Levi, for 2 weeks. Immediately upon meeting, Devon connected with Levi and really showed he was knowledgeable about dogs, the way dogs communicate, and how he approaches all aspects of training your dog based on their needs. I had no hesitation leaving my puppy with him after our first meeting. Two weeks later and Levi is a changed puppy! Devon demonstrated everything he had worked on with Levi and you can tell they created a great bond. Levi knows all the commands and responded instantly when Devon transitioned the training to my husband and I. Even after training is completed, Devon remains available to us for any needed advice which is very reassuring in keeping my pup up to par. Recently, we started boarding all 3 of my dogs with Devon and I do not plan on leaving them anywhere else. I received daily updates on my pups and knew they were in good hands. Less
I've worked with Devon before with my own reactive dog and he helped us immensely. We were immediately drawn to his vast knowledge and desire to train dogs by diving deep into their behavioral psychology. He made things easy to understand, and really showed us why what we had tried before wasn't working. When we got a foster dog that was a little more than we bargained for, I knew Devon was the r...

I've worked with Devon before with my own reactive dog and he helped us immensely. We were immediately drawn to his vast knowledge and desire to train dogs by diving deep into their behavioral psychology. He made things easy to understand, and really showed us why what we had tried before wasn't working. When we got a foster dog that was a little more than we bargained for, I knew Devon was the right person for the job and drove Boogie across the state to start a 4 week Board and Train. Boogie came back with stellar obedience and he had a blast with Devon! Most of all, Devon really works with you to set realistic expectations and a game plan to make it all work with your lifestyle. I couldn't recommend Devon and Trident K9 enough! Less

Being a first time dog mom and getting an American Bully was more than I had originally bargained for. Lucky I heard about Devon through word of mouth in the neighborhood, and I quickly reached out for help with my bully. After a short consultation, it was clear that Devon would be the perfect fit to help me train Chase. Working with Devon was hands down the best investment I made throughout the entirety of having Chase. My baby boy learned his name so quickly and learned how to walk on a leash without the constant pulling and tugging. If you are questioning if dog training is right for you and your pup- do yourself a favor and take the plunge. Believe me it was worth EVERY penny! Less
INITIAL NEEDS We sent our puppy to group training classes and though he picked up common commands (sit, down, stay) - and even earned “AKC Star Puppy” - we struggled with his behavior at home. He was hyper-excitable (to the point of ignoring commands if he was too excited by someone/something), too curious (swallowed and spit up socks twice), and stubborn.

INITIAL NEEDS We sent our puppy to group training classes and though he picked up common commands (sit, down, stay) - and even earned “AKC Star Puppy” - we struggled with his behavior at home. He was hyper-excitable (to the point of ignoring commands if he was too excited by someone/something), too curious (swallowed and spit up socks twice), and stubborn. WHY WE CHOSE DEVON Devon shared his philosophy (goal: happy dog) to training, which resonated well with us, and offered a personalized program custom to our puppy’s personality/tendencies as well as our needs. In the initial call, before we committed to his services, he offered helpful advice out of a genuine desire to help us be safe and happy with our puppy. Moreover, we found Devon’s approach - to help us understand the “how” and “why” as opposed to just do/perform - suited for our long-term understanding and training of our puppy. WORKING WITH DEVON If there were more stars to give, we would do so. Devon was absolutely incredible; he was hands-on, so well informed, and always accessible. If we had questions during our late evening training sessions, he would reply not only quickly but also with newly recorded videos to help us visualize his instructions/guidance. We started sending him summary videos of our puppy’s training sessions, and he always provided timely encouragement and feedback. He was extremely flexible with scheduling, and accommodating to our changing needs at times. In difficult or frustrating moments, Devon was validating and reassuring. He made the process easy - for both of us and our puppy. RESULTS Our puppy has never had a safety issue (ie eating socks) since working with Devon. More so, he is trained off leash (responds to “come” regardless of distance or external stimulus). He also responds to long-distance “stay/place”, and walks alongside us when off-leash. Most importantly, our puppy is excited to work with us and listen to us. We also, through the process, better understand the balance of activities and approach to take with our puppy. We are a safer and happier family because of Devon. Less

Devon has helped us tremendously with our 2 lab/hound mix pups. I could never thank him enough! Without his help, we would be lost. One of our pups was so scared of everything beyond the back yard.

He explained every aspect of the training and gave us wonderful advice..Very gentle and obviously loves animals and working with them .We are thrilled with the outcome of Mercys training . My 14 year old daughter is able to walk her with ease on the Huckleberry trail and many people have commented how well behaved she was. A local popular dog training business told us after only having her only for 4 hours that they could not train her. Devon took his time and accomplished training her. Best decision we ever made. He still stays in touch and let us know we can always call/message him for advice and for answering questions etc. Thank you Devon @ Blansett Dog Training !! Less
