The whole team at West TN K9 are great! Our girl Bella just finished a 7 day board and train with them. What a difference a week made! Bella is a strong, high energy, and strong willed puppy but her trainer Emily made huge progress with her in those 7 days. We came home with the tools and knowledge to continue her training and the comfort knowing they are still there for help as needed.

West TN K9 provided my German Shepherd Dog with the ability to live her life to the fullest. Bunnie was rescued from a ditch at the age of 12 weeks and was very timid and terrified of everything. West TN equipped us with the necessary tools that have since enabled her to live her best life, full of dog adventures. With each passing day, her confidence grows, and she absolutely adores being able to run carefree through fields off-leash, something I never imagined would be possible. Thank you, West TN K9, for making all of this possible!
Explain things well and you can tell they love dogs. They’re non-judgmental with what you allow your dogs to do-furniture, bed and such

Chelsey is an amazing trainer of dogs and dog parents. West Highland Terriers are challenging to train as they are very strong willed, but Chelsey gave us confidence to move beyond that characteristic and teach them so many wonderful behavioral activities. The slip leash is instrumental in teaching your pet without talking and yelling and eleviates frustration for both. I will be following up with continued sessions in the future. We will refer your organization to many of our friends and neighbors.Thank you all for your help.

My dog Bubba used to jump on me and everyone when he saw them. When he came out of the back from not seeing me for TWO weeks, he was very excited but was able to keep his cool and do what the trainer asked of him. I’ve only had him home a few hours, but I can tell they really did a good job teaching him. He’s tried to test me a little just because I’m mom, but once I correct him (maybe a few times) he gets that I’m really the boss now!! The go-home session was awesome, and watching all the videos and reading the packet beforehand was very helpful. Love these guys!

Thanks West TN K9! You did such a great job working with my Grayce and helping me so I can continue her training and hard work at home. You taught her many skills and I see such a difference in my girl. You also set all the right expectations for us. You made the process easy and beneficial for both of us. It is also not just all business. Your report cards, photos, and how you engaged with her let me know she was well taken care of and cared for while away from home. Knowing we can come back for help or call with questions makes a big difference. I was nervous about this process, but would now recommend to anyone! Bailey, Devi, and the team are who you want working with your pup and you.

We did the week long boarding and training for our energetic, stubborn boxer pup. We were very pleased with the time that was taken to help us learn how to continue her good habits and work through the bad. She came away from this understanding how to be taught when we want to teach her, even when it's not what she wants to do. Would highly recommend West TN K9

West Tennessee K9 turned my Bella into a very calm crane Corso , obedient dog. They put us on the right path with Bella. So that we but more importantly Bella will have a better life at home and in the public. We continue working with her like they said so that it becomes easier on us and Bella. Thank you Devi and WTK9 Dog Trainers. I fell that it is worth the price.She held her place for a good while, I went to the kitchen out of sight and she remained until told to move

I made an email inquiry to West Tennessee K9. I received a response from Ms Taylor in less than 10 minutes. Ms Taylor asked me questions to understand my expectations for Yadi, my chocolate lab puppy. From this conversation Ms Taylor gave me several training options as well as boarding options. Ms Taylor was very concise throughout the phone call and soon we had an agreement on pricing for the options we agreed best for Yadi.I brought Yadi to WK9 to train and board for the week. Ms Taylor met me at the door and we spoke again of our agreements. On a side note the facility was very clean and orderly. I left Yadi in the care of WK9.Nightly, Ms. Liz, the lady training Yadi emailed me a report card with pictures and a breakdown of that days training. During the week I felt comfortable to call with questions based on the the report card.On Friday prior to picking up Yadi Ms Liz walked Yadi through his exercises for me to observe. I took control of Yadi with Ms Liz giving me pointers and if need be, correcting me. Ms. Liz made sure I understood my role in Yadi's training with emphasis on patience.Like Ms Taylor, Ms. Liz was very kind. She answered all my questions and was earnest in her concern that the training not hurt Yadi in any manner.I cannot say enough to thank WK9 for their care of Yadi.These folks care for the pups!

I have a 1 year old American Bully thathas aggression issues. I was a little reserved with how WTK9 would or would not be able to handle him. However, we had the best experience. This was his first consultation with a trainer and he did an awesome job. From the very beginning, to the end, the trainer did some observations and gave us practical tools to use for home. Very professional and the environment was clean and controlled. I would definitely suggest this location to anyone with an aggressive dog.
