Our dog started with K-9 Companions, April 2019, for his first obedience boot camp to work toward the goal of eventually becoming a certified service dog for our son. We were amazed when we picked him up and saw his progress!! The entire time he was gone (3 weeks) we received daily text with his picture and what he skills he worked on with the trainer. When we picked him up the trainer showed us what to do, let us practice, and answered all of our questions. Over the last 6 months they have kept in touch with text and a home visit. Now our dog is back for his 2nd boot camp. As soon as we arrived, he seemed so excited to be there! We felt at ease leaving him and look forward to seeing him advance. Staff is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Facility is top-notch! Highly recommend!

I have known K-9 Companions Nashville and it's staff for over 30 years. Their professionalism and desire to train dogs is unparalleled to any other dog training facility I've ever known. The attention to detail and to adjust your dogs behavior into a livable, lovable companion is incredible. Their customer service is also A+ and they take the time to listen and train the dog owner with the necessary skills to continue where they left off once the dog returns back home. I highly recommend K-9 Companions Nashville and feel that they are the best and ONLY solution for your four legged companion. Be a Companion to your dog today, be a K-9 Companions Nashville graduate.

I can’t say enough about K9 Companions. We started with an evaluation when our Standard Poodle was 3 months old. We wanted her to be a service dog. She went to Doggie training at 4 months and she came back a different dog. Trained beautifully! People’ could not believe how obedient and calm she was. Now at 10 months she is being trained to be just as obedient outside without a lead. She also is being trained to pick up and get items for me. She is learning all kinds of things that will benefit me as a service dog (I have MS). She will go back closer to when she is full grown to be fitted for her harness and learn how to pull and help me balance. Nikki has been a godsend. They let you know their progress and send wonderful photos and videos of your dogs. The facility is like a home away from home. The dogs are treated like family. I would recommend them for any dog training!

K-9 companions Mt Juliet - I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for my Ellie Belle. She is a young pup with lots of energy and was very hard to control. I dreaded taking her out for a walk because she would not listen and actually ended up walking me instead!!! After 3 weeks at k-9 companions, she is a different dog and I can really enjoy walking her now. She still needs daily conditioning but she is consistent following all the commands that she was taught. The facility is immaculate and all of the people that I came in contact with were super. There is no doubt all of the staff love animals and I when I went to pick Ellie up, there was no doubt that Ellie loved them also. That made me feel so good to know they had treated my dog so well. After Ellie had been there a few days, they contacted me to let me know that Ellie was not eating very well. They offered (with my permission) to try mixing other ingredients with her food to hopefully help her to eat. It worked!! That was only one thing (of many) that really impressed me and let me know they cared about my dog. I got many pictures and updates about how her training was going which also meant a lot to me. I want to give special thanks to Nikki, She is awesome!!! When I went for my training, I was able to record (Nikki and Ellie's demonstration) on my phone of what Ellie had learned. Now when I play that back and Ellie hears Nikki's voice she starts howling and wagging her tail.(LOL) Great facility - Great staff. I would highly recommend K-9 companions to anyone that wants great training for their dog. Thanks so much to Karen, Nikki and the entire team!!!!!

I am so very thankful that I stumbled upon K-9 Companions's website about year ago. I started with a sweet dog but have finished with an amazing service dog. The staff is wonderful, the facility is beautiful, and the results are incredible! I really appreciate how much time they took teaching me so I can continue the training at home. I have already recommended K-9 Companions to many friends and family and will continue to do so. They are awesome!
