    • You will receive regular updates and photos of your dog during the training.

    • We prove LIFETIME SUPPORT for all of our trainees.

    • Phone and email support during and after training.

    • You will recieve a “go home” lesson with all board & train packages to learn the exact steps to maintaining your pet’s training.

  • We take the relationship approach. We believe that building a clear system of communication is the key to influence the dogs behaviors. We use high value rewards, and motivational training techniques to build confidence where it is needed. Of course, every dog responds to different training methods, but after years of practical training experience, we have developed a sure fire way to communicate with all of our dog clients.

  • We offer Board and Train, In-Home Private Lessons, and Behavior Solutions.

    Board and Train

    Our Board and Train program is the best solution for most dogs. Our program begins with basic obedience skills, working up to advanced techniques. Your pet will learn to respond and obey your calls and be ready to learn new tricks.

    We provide each dog with a custom-made training protocol and will work with you to outline clear, attainable goals for your pet. The length of stay varies depending on the pet and family’s needs. This program only addresses obedience issues and does not cover behavioral issues.

    In-Home Private Lessons

    We come to your home. This is for pet parents who would prefer to be the primary teacher, and just need professional coaching to get the best results. We like to call ourselves professional spotters. This helps if you have multiple dogs, and can be more budget friendly. Our private in-home lessons generally last an hour.

    Behavior Modification

    Dealing with behavior issues in dogs can be very frustrating. We often deal with dogs experiencing human aggression, dog on dog aggression, fears, anxiety, and shyness. Often times these type of dogs lack the proper structure and leadership in the home. We start from the home first, then we work our way to other environments and places. This program requires a lifetime of commitment management , and truly understanding dog behavior.

  • We have 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Our dog trainers have helped numerous pet parents with training solutions. Several of our trainers compete in high level competition dog sports. Our head trainer, Barron, has a B.S. in Animal Science. Barron has over a decade of animal behavior knowledge.

  • Our clients will get nothing but satisfactory results from working with our team at Middle TN K9 LLC. Your dog will be eager to follow your commands. All unwanted behavioral issues will go away.

    Your dog will get multiple structured sessions a day with our team. Your dog will become a part of our pack. That means socialization with people and other dogs.

  • Figuring out whether you need to invest in professional dog training can be challenging. Professional dog training is a good idea if your dog doesn’t listen to you or experiences very severe behavioral issues. Professional trainers are equipped and have the expertise to deal with extreme behaviors.

    If you have a new puppy, they especially need training, given that most obedience and behavior issues begin early in a dog’s life. Basic obedience training can help prevent the development of bad behaviors.
