They were very friendly with my Lilly and she was a hard case as she is a basset hound! She has brought the training home and come along way since she went to school. They went out of their way to accommodate me and my husbands work schedule! And contact every day was a priority and they made that every day! Love this place!

Gypsy was a very active puppy, and my hasband and I had a harder time training her then our other dogs. Enter West TN K9! They were fantastic from start to finish! We took Gypsy for the 7 day board and train in mid September 2024. We received report cards daily and our training session, when Gypsy was done with her training, was a great help! We are all still in training, but Gypsy is a different dog! Calm, listens well and, for the most part, ignores the cats! IYKYK! Thank you so much West TN K9 for all you have done for our family!

Writing this 9 months after my dog's 4-week board and train he has retained everything he has learned. I can finally bring him around friends and family. Their training regime is 2nd to none! They give you all the tools and information needed to make your pup exactly how you want them and your dog doesn't lose their "spark". Something I was worried about with leaving my dog with a trainer for 4 weeks was that he wouldn't still be affectionate/ sweet but that could be farther from true. They really allow your dog to build confidence with socializing and e-collar training. When we did our take home session I could see immediately the impact it had on my dog with his obedience and aggression and after 9 months he has only gotten better. Overall I am more than pleased with their services! The facility was extremely clean, the staff was incredibly sweet, and the trainers were incredible. I cannot recommend them enough if you had a crazy dog like me!

When I say this is THE place to send your dog, I truly mean it. I don’t even know where to begin! My big baby, Blue - a 120-pound, 5-year-old Cane Corso - had struggled with behavior issues for years. I often felt defeated and out of control, which was especially challenging with a ‘no longer a puppy,’ large breed dog. I had previously heard of West TN K9 and how great they were, so I gave them a call and after speaking with Taylor, who was so knowledgeable and accommodating, she recommended the 21-day board and train program. Knowing Blue’s history, they went above and beyond to tailor the experience to him. For the first three days, they arranged pick-up and drop-off to ease him into the program, assessing him carefully to ensure he’d be comfortable staying for the full training. This level of care and flexibility immediately put my mind at ease!!From day one, they reached out to update me on Blue’s progress - something they didn’t have to do but chose to, showing just how committed they are to each dog. Post-training, Blue has been a different dog. I finally feel a sense of relief and confidence knowing how to blend the training he received with our home rules. The resources, support, and reassurance the WTK9 team provided made all the difference.A special shoutout to Blue’s phenomenal trainer, Bailey, who guided us every step of the way and provided the best updates, and to Mack, who loves Blue almost as much as he loves her! I could go on forever about this team’s dedication and care. If you’re looking for training, support, and a place that truly cares about your fur baby’s well-being, WTK9 is the absolute best choice. Thank you, West Tennessee K9, for everything!Photo included is one of the *many* I received from WTK9 from when Blue was in training 🥰

We loved WTK9!!! They did so well with Nova and her training. We are just so grateful for the night and day difference. Our main problem was with our cat Lizzy. Nova has done so wonderfully with the cat since her return home. I was so thankful for the connection they kept with us during her stay and loved her daily report cards. Bailey and the staff did a wonderful job and will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a well mannered dog!!

Our 4 year-old Golden friend, Cash, was born in August of 2020. A true pandemic pup, he grew up in a loving home but without the face-to-face contacts with other people and dogs he needed. We worked hard to socialize him. Although he’s great with people, he has continued to be very awkward and reactive with other dogs. Also not good on his own when we try to leave him. He is never destructive but barks excessively.That’s why we approached West TN K9 for additional training. Cash just finished a 2 week board/train and we could not be happier or more encouraged about continuing to build on his work at WTK9.It was a good experience from start to finish.My initial contact with Taylor helped me understand what our options were and what the goal of the training would be.Guru Terry’s videos and the written guidelines we got were all spot on.Trainer Emily’s communications up front and her daily photo or video clip and report cards during Cash’s training were so helpful in understanding what he was capable of and how he was learning it. Her Go Home session was perfect for us to overcome our nervousness and feel more confident about continuing the training at our kids’ home in Memphis and then in our home in an Airstream trailer on the road full time.My husband, Steve, and I both feel like West TN K9 is a great value, and we thank them all for helping us and our Cash to become a better family for one another.

My wife and I went for puppy training classes and learned so much from our trainer, Devi. She was great at answering all our questions and showing us what we needed to do for our Golden Retriever puppy Clyde. Highly recommend the puppy classes to help you learn how to train your dog yourself!

I was so impressed with how well my rambunctious four month baby girl has progressed. I never would have thought so much improvement could occur in 4 days!!!! I am so glad we sent her to West Tennessee K9. My baby was out of control. No she is chill. No more jumping up on counters, furniture, and most important me!! My baby has manners. Lol. Thank you!! I highly recommend.

West Tennessee K9 saved my mentality! I was really struggling with my puppy and had difficulties training her, so I reached out and got her in there. She's shown improvement, and they taught me skills to help her learned skills carry over. They offer follow up sessions for free, and they were patient with us. I'll reach out again if I get another puppy or have difficulties with Franchesca!

We booked our dog, Batty, for a two week board and train in July and it's worth every penny! Batty is a rambunctious one year old pup but this training has gotten him on the right track. He can have a rough play style and didn't always take corrections from my older male dog, causing stress for all the dogs in the house. They've learned to coexist while respecting each other's space and we now have four peaceful pups. Highly recommend!
