What people have asked about this business.

How much does Is cost to train a Chihuahua?

I can't remember off the top of my head what the pricing was, I just remember it was the best price I could find after calling around. Give them a call or send them an email, they should get back to you pretty quickly.

Question on Google
has anyone came here for aggression issues for people and animals

Yes, he worked wonders for our dog. It is imperative to continue to do the work when you get the dog back so it does not revert. Lloyd is really, really good at what he does. I recommend calling and discussing your specific issue with him. He is very honest and has a ton of experience with military/police dogs and behavior modification. We couldn't take our dane anywhere without her acting like she was going to attack anyone who came near her, other dogs included. When we got her back after a week, she was a different dog. We have followed through with his instructions and she has gotten even better. We can take her anywhere and she loves playing with other dogs now.

My husband and I rescued an Amstaff/Blue Heeler mix named Reilly, and after 8 months of working with him to no avail, were literally about to give up on him. He was completely out of control and we couldn’t even really bond with him due to all the stress he caused us with his rambunctiousness, non-aggressive nipping behaviors and eating everything in sight (including the drywall). We heard about Mr. Lloyd from a neighbor who couldn’t say enough good things about his work and decided it was worth a shot before giving up. We had already decided if it didn’t help him, we would likely have to rehome him to someone who could afford to spend thousands of dollars on training him, or keep him as a farm dog or something. Mr. Lloyd had him for 10 days and had to undo all my failed attempts at training him myself…but when we got him back he was almost a different dog entirely. He still has his moments but he’s so much more manageable than he was, and when he’s on-leash he actually LISTENS AND OBEYS on command and even knows the word “no!”! I never thought I’d be able to say that about him. When he’s off-leash he’s much more manageable as well and his other behaviors are controllable now. We are actually bonding with him now and finding out that underneath the chaos, he’s a very sweet boy who’s willing to please. When his puppiness wears off we think he’s going to be a great dog. I hesitate to call anyone a miracle-worker but in Reilly’s case, Mr. Lloyd is as close as one can get in my opinion! Thanks for everything Mr. Lloyd!

Mr. Lloyd is awesome! From the very first phone call he was very knowledgeable, kind, and sincere. I express the issue I was having with my 7 month old Goldendoodle Sage not only did he send me training material he also followed up without me giving a dime up front! I booked my appointment Mr. Lloyd show me around the training area and explained the training process step by step Sage has been with Mr. Lloyd for almost a week whenever I call mr Lloyd takes time out to go over Sage’s progress I am extremely happy so far and excited for pick up this coming week! Thank you Mr.Lloyd 🫶🏽

He is pretty good at what he does and if there ever was a best he is def it. He is patient and kind. Explains everything about your dog and what to do to continue growing your bond with your pet. I would def recommend him for any dog training in TN or any surrounding areas.

Wow, first off he picks his phone up and you have to ask him if he is a trainer and if this is advanced canine and 2nd he is very unprofessional on the phone and is just rude. I was wanting to find help for training and he was to busy being a jerk to assist. I expected WAY BETTER AFTER SEEING THESE OTHER REVIEWS! So Disappointed by his professionalism and demeanor over the phone.

I called to inquire about pricing and was patronized the whole conversation about how "late" it is to start training my dog, the type of breed she is, what "true" fighting is, etc. After all the mansplaining, he ended it with "But I would love to help your dog". And the tone wasn't kind when he said that. Not sure why you would speak to a future client that way, but after that conversation he's not earning my business. Glad he's worked for other people but after what I heard, I won't be going with him for obedience training.
