West Tennessee K9

I had two dogs go through different training programs. Both are adult dogs. One dog (5 yo) did the 5 day drop off training and the other dog (7 yo) did the 3 week board and train. Training was tailored to each dog and their issues. They also made sure we were well equipped to resume training at home and made sure we were comfortable with the ecollar and prong collar. Both dogs have been back home and are both doing amazing! My husband jokes that they cloned our dogs. They also worked heavily with one dog that’s always been uncomfortable with cats and he is successfully ignoring our cat at home and only having interactions with our cat when she initiates it (even then, it’s a gently lick and then he sits down and looks at me). They have successfully made old dogs learn new tricks! I highly recommend them!!!

They did great with my cane corso! He did several training sessions and I seen a big change in him since he’s been home. Highly recommended!

They are an intricate part of our ongoing training and development of our German Shepherd. From boarded training to weekly “play emersion” daycare. They are basically an extension of my dog’s family. He loves them and is always excited to ‘go to school to see Emily!’ West TN K9 is a wonderful school and program that I trust with my best friend and who gave us the same language to communicate effectively!

The cat desensitization training and general obedience at home has been excellent after West Tennessee K9 worked with him. Atlas went for both the puppy and adult week long board and train sessions. He is a high energy German shepherd with a strong prey drive, and to see him co exist with the cats has been wonderful. The report card updates and pictures are appreciated for anxious puppy parents. We will definitely be taking advantage of their programs in the future.

10000/10 recommend!! My German shepherd used to lunge at every animal, bark at every person, stressful vet visits, stressful walks.. I wanted a better quality of life for the both of us. WTNK-9 boarded & trained him for 2 weeks, then he has been in structured daycare every month x3 weekly. Emily & the team has changed our lives. Emily was very communicative, responsive and transparent throughout his training. My dog makes you earn his trust, and Emily earned it very quick! He loves her so much, she’s literally like family. Seeing him light up when he sees her is confirmation he is in safe hands. He now plays with other dogs, walks at my heel- no pulling or lunging, not barking at everybody, and can finally calmly be around other dogs. Our ultimate test was a vet visit and we just had a PEACEFUL, SUCCESSFUL VISIT 🥹👏🏽🙌🏽 every time I see his new behavior I just want to cry happy tears. We went to petsmart, see the photos of how good of a boy he was. We go in public so much more, strangers approach him & rub him w/o him barking, weve gone to UPS, Shelby farms, farmers markets… he is SO GOOD now. This is so important to me because in Texas another trainer said “this is just who he is, he’ll never be able to play with dogs and I’m not comfortable bringing him around other dogs” so I really had given up hope on him since he’s 7 yo. And we were just going to continue this stressful life together… until Marcus and his wife recommended this place with flying colors. If you’re seeking quality training, you are in the right place! It is worth every penny
