Our Training Programs

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

If you want your dog to be the best that he/she can be, I HIGHLY recommend West Tennessee K9! First, they have a brand new, beautiful facility that they recently moved to, but most importantly, the entire staff are knowledgeable and really do care about your pet! They have years of experience and know what they're doing. I'm so proud of my Lola since she finished her 2-week board and train session. She's a blue heeler, so you know she's VERY active. She's a total joy to have with me at all times, even at work. A special thanks to her trainer, Emily!

West Tennessee K9 is an absolutely wonderful dog training facility! My golden retriever worked with Emily this week, and she did an awesome job. We will DEFINITELY be back! 10/10 recommend!! ☺️

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!

Best of the best right here! As a local Veterinarian in the area I love the fact that I can send my clients and patients to people I trust exclusively. The entire staff is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely love what they do. Highly recommend!!

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.

I had the best trainer help me get my rambunctious dog under control. I highly recommend their services.

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!
