Our daughter learned to ride here at a young age and now owns her own horse which we board there. Kristy and all the staff have been amazing to us we don't live close by so we have trusted them for all his needs. They have gone above and beyond with his care. I never have to worry what's going on with him because Kristy is so knowledgeable she keeps us updated. We do recommend them for boarding and training.

We had such a wonderful experience with Legend Acres. Our sweet dog, Roo, was struggling with some anxiety resulting in a very reactive personality that occasionally terrified strangers. We completed the basic obedience course with Kristi where we learned how to get Roo’s brain to slow down and improve our communication with him. We are so happy with the results and thankful for all of the advice and expertise Kristi had to offer. She always listened to our issues and offered us an array of solutions to pick and choose from. Thank you Kristi! Also, this is a great value and totally worth the drive up from Nashville!

I have been a client of Legend Acres for almost a year now, and it has been a life changing blessing for which I am truly grateful. I had been to two other training schools prior. The first place did not use positive based training, and my little rescued street dog became more anxious rather than better behaved. The second place is one of the best known in Nashville. The training itself was good, but the class size was too large. Houdini and I did not get the private attention we needed to succeed. All that changed when I found Kristi and Legend Acres on an app called thumbtack. Kristi worked with us privately, and helped my little dog, who had failed his CGC exam at our prior “Big Name” school to pass with flying colors. Through her encouragement, he is now a service dog in training!! Kristi made a personal investment in us, and our success, and I could not be more grateful. More recently, I had an unexpected crisis with my living situation. I messengered Kristi in the early hours of the morning, and she replied immediately that I could drop off my cats. She and her staff did an amazing job looking after my fur babies for the two weeks it took me to find a safe new living situation for all of us. These folks care and are not just doing a job, but are on a mission to help people and their fur families.

I think they do a wonderful job of watching Bella. She has a good time there. We've boarded her there several times. Their business has certainly grown and that brings up my only negative. We now have to pay to have Bella walked or for someone to play and spend time with her out in the field. I liked it when they would rotate taking the dogs out of the kennel to run, play catch and to spend time in the fields. But they truly care and love all the animals.

I've been thinking about what to say, however, it is time to post my review. I will be as factual as possible: We boarded both our dogs over Christmas from December 23 to January 2nd. When we returned on January 2nd only one of our dogs was returned while we informed that our male had gone missing. Now he has not gone missing that morning, he had been missing since December 27th and we were not informed until January 2nd. Had we known we would've come home early. We were in constant contact with the facility after to facilitate more searching etc. however, their contact dwindled. I do not recommend this facility. While they did help us search after we returned, we've not seen our dog since he was dropped off. My children are devastated.
