We had "a lot of dog" at the end of our leash with our little Lucy before we met with Lauren and…read moreJim. Lauren and Jim know exactly what they are doing in training dogs. After just our consultation with them, Lucy was 100% better on the leash and now she loose leash walks everywhere. I also really appreciated that they customized the training for us and for our dog. Lucy has a lot of idiosyncrasies and her behavior didn't always make sense, but Lauren and Jim worked with us to find something that worked specifically for our dog and our situation. Not only were they great at helping us figure out what worked for our dog, but they were honestly just a great time to be around. Training with an energetic dog can be frustrating but they were always extremely helpful and just fun to be around. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of dog training services!

My fiancé and I brought home our puppy, Maverick, in June, and as first-time puppy owners, we…read morequickly realized we were in over our heads. Within a couple of weeks, it was clear we needed some guidance on how to train him (and honestly, how to train ourselves too). From our very first call with Chris at Music City K-9 Training, we knew he was the right fit. We signed up for the 5-week Better Obedience program, and it was the best decision we could've made. Chris is not only super knowledgeable, but he's also patient and makes everything really easy to understand. He doesn't just train your dog--he teaches you how to handle situations with confidence and patience. By the end of the program, Maverick had made huge strides in his obedience, and my fiancé and I felt way more capable of continuing his training on our own. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and knows how to get results, I can't recommend Chris and Music City K-9 Training enough. He made such a difference for us and for Maverick, and we're so grateful we found him.

After moving to Nashville we decided it was time to finally commit to putting our dog Burrow…read morethrough obedience school. He was always a good boy but lacked common manners. I ended up doing some research online and decided to roll with Chris and it has absolutely changed our lives. He is a super caring and knowledgeable dog trainer. I cannot thank him enough for all of the hard work and dedication he gave us during our training. He has completely changed the way we look at owning a dog. Our boy Burrow is a completely different dog after this program. I highly highly recommend going with Chris when thinking about training your pup! He's amazing.

Hiring the Dog Wizard was one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. Our pup was…read moreprobably no different than any other pup but my lack of experience with raising dogs led to daily frustration and mental breakdowns. I started seriously questioning returning our puppy because I had ZERO left in me to tolerate her. To make a long story short, we researched dog trainers and were impressed with the amount of positive reviews we read on The Dog Wizard and decided to give the private training sessions a shot. Tate was our trainer and he was heaven sent. I appreciated how he took the time to listen to our individual problems with our pup and never once made me feel like the most clueless dog owner (which I can admit to being at one point). In our sessions I learned an immense amount about how my puppy was interpreting my actions and different methods to try on her. Our sessions were part education and part action. We would apply the newly learned method with the pup until it clicked. Getting a dog trainer does not mean that you are off the hook after he/she leaves. The only way to get your the training methods to stick are to continue to practice them every day. It's a great way to hold you accountable until the next session. I couldn't have been happier with the level of knowledge and accommodation Tate provided us with. If you're even slightly thinking about hiring the Dog Wizard, I can promise you that you and your sanity will not regret it.

This…read morewas my first time getting my own puppy, and Julie has made this process so easy for us and helped answer all our questions over the last 3 years. May is now 3 years old. She is absolutely wonderful! She is healthy, smart, and sweet, while also being energetic and playful. Every single day we go on a walk, people compliment how beautiful she is. She is already an irreplaceable member of our family and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, Julie, I'm forever grateful to Bline's Awesome Aussies for our dear May. Julie truly loves raising puppies and puts care and joy into each puppy. Her dogs are well bred and their temperaments are just the best. I highly recommend Bline's Awesome Aussies,

We wanted a puppy that was versatile with change, liked people and children, and she picked the perfect pup for us! Ozzy is, not only beautiful, but incredibly friendly, excited for life, and an amazing big brother. He is very smart and blew his puppy trainer away with how well he listened and rationalized situations. Before we could get Ozzy due to his age, Julie encouraged FaceTime calls with her and Ozzy. She started calling him his name while he was with his mother, so when he came to his new family, us, he already knew him name. She drove across the country to meet us so we only had a few hour drive to pick him up. I knew Julie truly loves raising puppies and puts care and joy into each puppy, puppy parents, and future human parents. He is 1.5 years old and every single day when we go on a walk, people compliment how beautiful and friendly he is. I have referred many families to Julie Bline's Bline's Awesome Aussies! If your looking for a lovely dog that will love you and fit into your family, Bline's pups are the best! I won't get a dog from anywhere else!
