I was completely lost before meeting Ali and team at Nashville K9. I had seen every Nashville dog…read moretrainer with no success and was confused with the differing opinions of how to handle my dog Iswell. Iswell is a rescue who is a mix of Pit, Boxer, Red Heeler. Iswell has been loved since the day I got him at 2 months old. I did everything everyone was telling me to do. Fed him grain free, socialize him as much as possible, get him around kids, sign him up for obedience classes (2 graduations of success) etc. So I did all of those things to set my pups up for success in the big world. At around a year, Iswell started changing. He would start getting into quarrels at the dog park, lunge at walkers who walked by us and bark continuously at friends who would come over to our house. I was frustrated. Here I had done everything I was "suppose" to do with absolutely no luck. I started signing up for every dog trainer in Nashville. I never left knowing how to handle my dog but left with their opinion of what was wrong with him. Nashville K9 was my last hope. I called and Ali answered. He's a straight shooter and told me exactly what I was doing wrong as the owner. "I don't even to ask because I know your dog sleeps with you and he isn't crated". Wow! How did he know? Ha! I was creating anxiety for my dog without even knowing it. What an awful mother, right? I had to meet this guy and see what Nashville K9 was all about. I packed up Iswell in the car and drove to see the place. It is gated and is maintained to perfection. Even has an outdoor pool! Ali was a great host and showed Iswell and me around the place. Iswell was on edge and wasn't the friendliest to Ali but I knew this is the sort of training he needed. Someone who could break his bad behaviors away from home, give him confidence and then show me how to transition it into our home. I signed him up immediately and Ali was able to get him in sooner than what I wanted. Iswell attended the 4 week board/train program. During his stay, I received 2 weekly emails with a vast number of photos showing off what Iswell had been learning. I would wait on those days so excited to see what Iswell was learning. Damon, trainer at Nashville K9, would send the emails and give you a sentence or two of his progression. I knew Iswell was in good hands. Agility, obedience, socialization were all included in these photos ( I will attach a few for reference). Fast forward to 4 weeks later when I picked up my pups. This sounds crazy to say but I barely recognized him at first. He had gained this whole new confidence I hadn't seen before. He seemed so happy but eager to show off everything he learned. The sweetest woman (I can't remember her name but had trained Iswell) met with me for 3 hours to explain Iswell's new plan. It was extremely detailed. Trainings, one on one time, crate time, potty time and eating schedule. They reminded me of how vital it was to keep to this schedule to help Iswell transition into the home with his new gained knowledge and confidence. I would recommend anyone to take their dog to Nashville K9. The trainers truly care about each dog and ensure they are set up with all the commands/tools they need to build confidence. Iswell is more calm and thinks before he makes a move. He looks at me for guidance. So grateful and will definitely send him for brush up sessions in the future.

I love this place, one of the few places around that groom cats. The owner Shawn is the sweetest…read moremost compassionate and understanding human! When I bring my cat there it's usually for matts that got out of control. The first time I booked my appointment on Facebook a few years back, and when I brought her in, they had no idea why I was there and who my cat was. Turns out I made the appointment with a Dee-O-Gee in OHIO!! But the groomer there on that day reached into pet my cat and said "oh! we cannot let her go home like this! We will fit her in!" Of course, I've been going back ever since. The same cat has cancer now and her grooming ability is fading because it's a bulging carcinoma on her face and nose. She's uncomfortable with her coat having several matts and hairballs from badly shedding, and hates being brushed, so I messaged for an urgent grooming, to keep her comfortable for the days or weeks she has left. Not only did Shawn answer me immediately on Facebook messenger, but took her in a few hours later and did a beautiful job! We discussed her condition, managing her stress, keeping it quick, plan B if she couldn't handle the shaver... it would be easy for a groomer to decline such a "patient" but that's not what happened at all. I waited for a bit and my kitty was returned unstressed and Matt-free, wanting to shop the store instead of go back in her crate I'm so grateful, this made her life more comfortable today and relieved my stress over trying to groom her myself!! Note, There were also a couple other times where I needed to work with the groomer on certain requests and custom needs for my cat. They've had different groomers and the cut may differ a little bit, but they always pay attention to what I asked them to focus on whether it's Matt removal, trimming her butt real short etc. I definitely recommend for cat grooming! I'm SO happy I found them (reco from someone at the Williamson animal shelter)!!

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO DEE-O-GEE FOR GROOMING. Read the negative reviews - they are accurate…read more Read Kimberly B's review on June 3, 2026. I've ran into the same issue multiple times with Dee-O-Gee. I recently dropped off my female Bernese Mountain dog for a full grooming at 9:30AM. At 2:15pm, I called to check on the status of my dog, and the person working told me she was almost done drying and was next to be groomed....fine...I'm not going to be that guy. I call back 5:05pm since I haven't heard anything..... MY DOG IS STILL WET AND DRYING and has not been groomed!!! ....again they give me the excuse she takes a long time to dry....almost 8 hours of drying!!! Why did they schedule my appointment at 9:30am if they couldn't groom my dog timely? Who knows if they've given my dog water or a potty break. So many questions, but again read the reviews...this place sucks!

Don't board your dogs here! Bait and switch and my dog came home with sores/open wounds (and they…read moredidn't bother to tell me)! I paid a premium for a "creekside cabin" which states (per their website) "each cabin comes complete with a flat-screen television, calming color scheme, and custom padded bed." The room my dog was in had no bed for almost an HOUR and the floor was soaking wet. I had to call them to tell them to give her a bed. The bed was just an elevated dog bed made out of PVC pipes. The paint was peeling off of the walls and the room looked like a prison cell. The creekside cabin is also supposed to have cameras. They don't tell you that the cameras turn off for about 9-10 hours a day. If you want to check on your dog between the hours of 9pm-6am, you're out of luck. I also paid for an extra package to have my dog taken outside to go to the bathroom more often. It also included pictures of my dog. They sent me pictures through the metal bars of the kennel where my dog looks distraught. When I picked my dog up and put her in the car, she smelled horrific, as if her skin was rotting. I went home and gave her a bath and her feet were all cut up, she had sores on her legs, and her feet were oozing/bleeding. I had to take her to the vet. Thank god I paid for the insurance here because they had to foot the $500+ bill. She had an ear infection on top of everything else, and had to take medication. When I told the manager about the bait and switch (the room looking like a prison cell), she laughed at me. When I told her my concerns, she said "we'll update the website". Don't send your dogs here. I'm still dealing with the consequences and it's now been 2+ weeks and a couple vet visits.

Specifically, pulling on walks to the point that my neck and shoulders hurt, and barking/lunging at dogs while walking. I'd done training with other people/organizations but was not consistent with it, and therefore her behavior regressed and actually got worse. I'd also read various dog training books, but nothing worked. I found GlobalK9 and the K9 Experts online and could tell right off that they had a ton of experience with German shepherds and Belgian malinois and figured they could help. I got a call from Matt Burnett and he was very interested in my goals for my dog and got me a consultation the following weekend. After two private classes, they got me plugged with the intermediate group class and I was so impressed with how much Nyx improved each week!! Not only did they teach my dog the commands, but they also taught me how to communicate with my dog and convey my expectations to her. She's a more happy and balanced dog now, and continually improves as the days and weeks go on! It's clear that The K9 Experts love dogs and love what they do! I tell every dog parent I meet about them and can't recommend them enough!!!

Functional Training Training is only functional when a dog can perform the behaviors in any environment, with any distraction and with speed and reliability.

Balanced Training Every dog learns differently and is motivated by different rewards. We believe in balanced training, where dogs are shown success in performing behaviors. This stage is known as shaping, where we create the behaviors and get rid of unwanted manners such as barking, chewing, digging, counter surfing, etc. When the behaviors manifest, we then use tools, timing, and

Grace went beyond the walks and basic training and would sometimes ask if she could take him overnight to get him used to being around different dogs (hers) and people.
