Knoxville K9 Academy

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Tommy and the training he provided for Gus. From the very beginning, Tommy was patient, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping Gus become the best dog he can be. What really stood out to me was how much Tommy cared not just about training Gus, but about teaching me how to communicate with him and continue the training at home. He took the time to explain things, answer all of my questions, and never made me feel like I was asking too much. He was incredibly patient with both of us! Today was Gus’s last day of training, and while I’m so proud of how far he has come, I’m honestly a little sad that our regular training sessions with Tommy are over. Gus absolutely loved him, and I could tell that Tommy truly enjoyed working with Gus too. If you’re considering training for your dog, I cannot recommend Tommy enough. Finding someone you trust with your dog is a big deal, and I feel incredibly lucky that we found him. He went above and beyond, and the difference he made in Gus is something I’ll always be grateful for. Thank you, Tommy, for everything you’ve done for Gus and for giving me the confidence to keep working with him. You’re truly the best! ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely recommend Knoxville K9 Academy! We had just gotten our new puppy, Diesel, and honestly had no idea where to start or what steps we needed to take to set him up for success. After struggling with him for weeks, I reached out to Tommy at Knoxville K9 Academy, and I am SO thankful that I did! We are coming up on our last puppy class, and the difference I see in my boy is absolutely CRAZY! 🥹🐾 Tommy has been by our side every step of the way, answering our questions, helping us through the difficult moments, and teaching us how to become the best pet parents we can be. Not only has Tommy helped Diesel learn, but he has taught US how to better understand him, communicate with him, and give him the tools he needs to succeed. The confidence and progress Diesel has made in such a short time has been amazing to watch. If you have a puppy or dog and feel overwhelmed, unsure, or just want to give your pup the best possible start, I HIGHLY recommend Tommy and Knoxville K9 Academy! ❤️🐶 Thank you, Tommy, for everything you’ve done for our family and our sweet boy Diesel! We are so grateful for you! 🐾💕

If you are looking for a dog exorcist Tommy is your guy! I brought rooster, my Pyrenees mix puppy, to him and I was truly at a loss for words. First puppy, first working dog, and he was just out of control with aggression and no boundaries. Just finished our last class and Rooster is a reborn dog 😭🎉. I’ve successfully taken him on several walks, he’s corrected himself several times when engaging or being around other animals. I actually can’t give enough thanks to Tommy. Would recommend 1000% 🏆.

We had a great experience working with Tommy! Our 2-year-old golden retriever had a strong foundation of training, but we wanted to safely introduce e-collar training so we could feel confident giving him more freedom off leash. One of our biggest goals was strengthening his recall so we could confidently call him back if he was ever off leash or in an unsafe situation. Tommy took the time to teach us just as much as he taught our dog. He showed us how to use the e-collar as a clear form of communication, and he helped our dog build confidence by giving him the structure he needed to succeed in new situations. Highly recommend!
