Nashville K-9

The training team at Nashville K-9 was absolutely excellent! The staff were welcoming, friendly, and great with communication and updates throughout the weeks of training. The kennels and facility as a whole are well taken care of and clean. The class before picking up my dog was extremely helpful along with the teaching demonstration I participated in. Overall, I would 10/10 recommend this great team and place!

Our summer camp invited Nashville K-9 to give a demonstration for our rally. Ali eagerly agreed to come free of charge; in which we were so appreciative. The kids and staff were all anticipating their visit. He brought in Roxy and discussed dog safety such as how to approach a dog, what to do when a dog is running after you, and how to take care of them when it's hot outside. The kids were very excited when he let them pet Roxy. Ali also brought out Cairo and showed some us some tricks. The kids gasped and "awwed" at Cairo's obedience. Ali was interactive and a good presenter. He asked and answered questions and reviewed for them. The kids were engaged and enjoyed Nashville K-9's visit. Thank you so much for helping to make our camp a fun experience for our kids!

Nashville K-9 is SIMPLY THE BEST!!! I am sure you are reading so many reviews researching where to send your dog trying to compare options for your most prized possession. I LOVE my animals just like my kids. We sent our dog here for the 2-week training program. I toured their facility and wow it was impeccable, so clean you could eat off the floors with multiple mock rooms for home simulations to teach the dogs. The plexiglass kennels were so spacious, so you don’t have to worry about small cages or dirty kennels. Our old English bulldog is 4 years old and has struggled with following commands, jumping on guests, and was viscous with other dogs. With the techniques my dog Armani learned at Nashville K-9 from Ali and his ROCKSTAR team he is a changed dog. He still has the awesome personality he had before training but now he listens to commands and is able to walk on a leash in the community. His listening skills are 1000% improved. He listens so well now that even my 7 and 12-year-old kids can work with him on his new skills at home. The huge training floor allowed him to also learn jumping and walking obediently on the top of the line equipment which exceeded my expectations. Being such an attached owner; I really struggled with leaving Armani, but Ali and his team sent us so many pictures, videos, and emails showing his progress throughout each week to help us cope with the absence in our home. They genuinely care about your dog and understand the void it causes to a family. I chose Nashville K-9 because when I learned about their stellar program, I loved that they give a 2-hour training for the owners that we would get to learn how to keep his new skills. Raine did our 2-hour training on his last day and she was so knowledgeable and spent so much time making sure we learned correctly. She even gave us local recommendations supporting the community, shared a training collar and clicker recommendation that works well for Armani. They even have a store you can shop from to offer you convenience with the best products. Armani adored his trainers😊 I loved so many things about this place but one of my favorites was that they teach the animals with positive affirmations and don’t use shock collars like some facilities I was researching. My kids were so scared our dog wouldn’t come home with the same awesome personality he left with and they assured us he would. They were SO RIGHT! The coachfido.com website is awesome too for continued reinforcement and we have even tried a few new tricks to teach Armani since he has been home. I can’t rave enough about this facility and waited a couple weeks to write this because I wanted to see how all the new skills would transfer when he got home. SEAMLESSLY!!! He doesn’t even jump on the UPS drivers now. I don’t usually write reviews, but this place has a special place in my heart for a VERY LONG TIME!!! Thank You Nashville K-9 for all you have done for Armani and our family!

Our 3 year old border collie Rocket had leash reactivity and trouble with impulse control. He went for 4 weeks board and train with Ali and his team and has come back a different dog. Impulse control has improved hugely and walking past other dogs is no longer a stressful experience! Communication while Rocket was boarding was excellent, as was our training session to learn what Rocket now knows. Our only regret is waiting until he was 3 to send him!
