Nashville K-9

We had the pleasure of Nashville K-9 Board and Train our dog Mercedes. This is our first time having a Doberman and what a wonderful experience we had upon her return home. First off the location is perfectly set up in a normal neighborhood with all kinds of noises to help acclimate Mercedes. In addition the inside is set up like a normal home with rooms. It’s also very clean and welcoming for us humans. If you’re looking into a dog training program for your pet, I highly recommend Nashville K-9. The owner was very responsive via text, email, and is available onsite. The team he has assembled to work with the dogs are wonderful. They will rotate your dog through different phases of the training and as they go through the program, they will send you pics and videos on their progress being made. Great job, Nashville K-9!!!

He had the pleasure of having our dog, ruby, attend the 3 week boarding and training. This was no easy task for the crew at Nashville K-9. Ruby was a 5 month old English Bulldog that is deaf. So, the normal techniques of voice commands were not going to work. Challenge accepted by the K-9 team and boy did they deliver. They even did this during the ice storm in Nashville. Not only does Ruby have better discipline, but she also has a better temperament, and we have three other dogs in the house. She acclimated pretty well when she came back. I would even say that my other three dogs are better on walks and in the house as they see my wife and me continuing to train Ruby. We understood that this is not just a three-week plan, and we have continued to work together on her training at home, and it is paying off. I cannot thank Ali and the rest of the Nashville K-9 crew any more. There is no finer establishment in Nashville. Let me repeat that: there is no establishment that is better run and of higher quality than Nashville K-9. Thank you so much for taking care of our Ruby and making it such an amazing experience.

Our 6 year old rescue is a brand new dog after their 3-week board and train program. He became increasingly anxious, unpredictable, and territorial around people outside our family after we had kids. Nashville K-9 took the time to really understand our concerns and build a training program that would help him (and us in return). Our dog made more progress than I ever could have imagined and clearly bonded with all the trainers. Their love of dogs (and expertise) is amazing and it made me so comfortable leaving him. Before I took him home, they walked me through a very detailed schedule and program that we could continue at home to advance his progress even more and it’s worked GREAT. He’s more obedient, less anxious, barks less, and is overall just a better behaved and happier dog. We couldn’t be happier!

Our 6 month old puppy, Peaches, took part in the 2 week board and train program over the holidays. It was an incredible experience! The staff was friendly and attentive -- they provided bi-weekly updates and photos of Peaches and his training. They also spent ~2 hours with us explaining the methodology, answering questions, and practicing the commands with our puppy. The facility is top notch -- not only is it clean and spacious, but it also provides a realistic environment that the dog would experience at home/in everyday living (e.g., a fake apartment with a bed, couch, kitchen, etc.). We would definitely take him back there for additional training!
