Bruno's transformation has been incredible thanks to the off-leash training program at Middle Tennessee K9! Before starting MTK9's 5-week program, we couldn’t imagine Bruno being trusted off-leash, especially with his high energy and curiosity. But now, he’s a completely different dog—in the best way possible! The trainers were patient, knowledgeable, and tailored the program specifically to Bruno’s needs. We were amazed at how quickly he learned to obey commands, even with distractions around. Walking off-leash with Bruno has been such a joy; he’s happier, more confident, and we have a stronger bond than ever. Thank you, Middle Tennessee K9, for helping Bruno reach his full potential. Highly recommend this program to anyone looking to unlock their dog’s best behavior! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Why Off-Leash Training is a Game-Changer for You and Your Dog

Off-leash training isn’t just about removing the leash—it’s about unlocking a new level of freedom and trust between you and your dog. Here’s why it matters:

  1. Unmatched Safety and Control

    With reliable off-leash skills, you can trust your dog to respond to your commands, even in distracting or dangerous environments. Whether you're at a busy park, near traffic, or on a hiking trail, off-leash training ensures their safety at all times.

  2. More Enjoyable Outings

    Off-leash skills open up opportunities for your dog to explore the world naturally. From stress-free trips to dog-friendly parks to adventurous hikes through Nashville’s trails, you’ll both enjoy more freedom and fun.

  3. Stronger Bond Between You and Your Dog

    Training without a leash strengthens trust and communication, creating a deeper connection. Your dog learns to focus on you, even with distractions around, making every interaction more rewarding.

  4. Positive Socialization

    Off-leash training improves your dog’s interactions with other pets and people, building their confidence and reducing anxiety in social settings.

  5. Peace of Mind for You

    Know your dog will come when called and behave reliably, giving you confidence in any situation. Off-leash reliability means no more tugging, chasing, or worrying—they’ll always have your back (and you’ll have theirs!).

What Our Customers Are Saying

  • We’ve had the BEST experience with Middle TN K9! Our 3 1/2 month old Cane Corso trained with them, and we can’t express enough how amazing he is! Our pup is definitely behaving so much better! I could give a million reasons why I HIGHLY recommend Middle TN K9.

    Jacqueline Hill

  • Barron is a great communicator who shares his wealth of knowledge constantly. He has transformed our 2-year old GSD into a very lovable companion. I appreciate Barron always being available for any questions which gives us the confidence to continue our communication skills with Brutus and keeps our family growing together.

    Charles DeFrance

  • I sent my 1 y.o. boxer through the on-leash board and training program. I wanted her to gain more confidence and be a well rounded dog. Now she listens on the leash and most of the time off of the leash. She still gets excited but no longer jumps on ppl. In public she stays close but doesn’t cower. She’s more confident and attentive. Barron, Erick, and Ron, thank you for helping set the foundation for Vada Jane to be a better pup for everyone to be around.

    Heather Bowman

  • Barron was instantly able to show us better ways to work with our new puppy, within just moments of arriving at our home, and demonstrated and coached us through how to both train and untrain various behaviors. He knows his stuff!

    Michelle Drury

  • MTK9 is the best of the best of the best. They trained my protection dog and also have helped with my out of control rescue shepherd. They helped me stop a problem with her in literally 5 minutes. He is a God send

    Stephanie Norwood

  • Barron and Erick are amazing. At the evaluation Barron gave me something to work on with my dog until we started the training. They know what they’re doing and really enjoy it and you can really tell it through their work.
