Our Training Programs

We didn’t earn the title, top dog trainer in Memphis by accident. We earned it by not only training the dog, but also training the owner. All of our programs are easy to follow and easy to adhere too. For you and your dog!
Every program is customized to fit you, your dog, and your lifestyle. No matter the program you choose, you will see a difference in your dog.
Each program includes everything you’ll need to have success with your dog at home. There are no hidden costs or up charges.
As soon as you book with us, you’ll immediately start receiving training information and training instructions. At drop off you’ll receive a series of videos that will prepare you for the end of training take home sessions.
After your pup learns all of the skills, we bring you and your family in and show each person how to work with the dog.
Our clients are clients for life. Even after training when you take your dog home we are still here for you. Follow up sessions via, phone, zoom, or in person are unlimited and there is never a charge.

What Program to Choose

Starting your puppy early can can save you so much time, effort, and money.

Birth to 5 months is a valuable imprinting window for dogs. The things they experience and learn during this time with stick with them for life.

Starting early allows us to build in the behaviors that we want, while all together avoiding unwanted behaviors.

At home is where a dog spends most of its time. Understandably, home is where our dogs exhibit the most problems.

This program starts with stopping unwanted behaviors like jumping, rushing out of doors, barking, counter surfing, etc.

If you just want to enjoy your house and have guests over in peace, this is the program for you!

It is important for your dog to harmoniously exist as a functioning member of your family. Everyone in your house has a job to do, and rules to follow. Your dog shouldn’t be excluded from that responsibility.

Dogs can cause so much stress in the family. From not listening to certain family members, to treating your house, things, and guests as their personal play toys.

This program will teach your pup to respect your home and peacefully coexist with you in it.

Do you live an active life? Would you like your pup to live that life with you? This program is the most inclusive program you will find anywhere!

When we get a new pup, we envision a life filled with adventure. The reality is, poor behavior leaves us with a dog stuck at the house.

This program will get your pup ready to live a full, active life with you! Centered around real life scenarios your dog is trained in the real world to handle everything life could throw their way!

Training is guaranteed for the life of the dog. We offer unlimited follow up sessions for any commands and behaviors we cover during training.

What Others Say

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

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.
I have loved my experience with WTK9! The trainers did an amazing job with my large silly puppy, and he is a totally different dog! He's so happy to have a job, and clean communication, and they trained me and my fiancé as well!

I took my two dogs for the 3 week board and train program. I am so happy with the results and thankful to the trainers, Devi and Bailey. I could never have brought Blue and Berry into stores or public places with other dogs/people close by, but the first day I picked them up, I was able to bring them into a store while they stayed in heel and didn't react to the people or dogs passing by. I can't say enough how much I appreciate all the care they put into the training. You can tell how much they love what they do by how much the dogs trust them in the new environment away from home.

We have 2 Danes! Our oldest is 2 1/2 and and our second boy is 7 months. Both have trained here . I cannot say enough good things about this amazing team of people and their passion for helping dogs and owners live happily together. Most recently our 7 month old completed day school then 21 day program. Our 2 year old was with him the last week to train together. He has completed a similar program as a pup. OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you so much for training them and us!! Today Baski (2 1/2 yo) who was having anxiety, lacking confidence, and getting reactive went to Lowe’s and Pet-smart- He was a perfect gentleman! Ignored distractions/ dogs barking/ people. Doom did wonderful- for still being a puppy- curious, yet mannerly, his big emotions appropriate! I am so proud of them! Thank you all so much! Bailey and Devi ROCK!!!

We had the best experience with West TN K9 and the 3 week drop-off program. I have a 6+ year old Australian shepherd mix who struggled with reactivity and aggression towards other dogs. I was afraid it was “too late” but they assured me you can in fact “teach an old dog new tricks,” even if they are as stubborn and sassy as my dog. We noticed immediate improvement after week 1, and continued improvement week over week as she learned new skills. The go-home sessions were extremely helpful as our trainer, Bailey, thoroughly walked us through each drill and how we can practice at home and how to correct certain behaviors. Knowing that we will always have WTK9 on our side for any additional help is a great bonus! So glad I made this decision for my extra sassy pup.

I took my Dalmatian pup to West Tn K9 for help training her because I couldn’t do it alone. When I picked my pup up I was amazed at how well she had done learning. She listens easier and is able to be more calm around my toddler. I can’t thank them enough for the time and assistance with my pup. I also enjoyed the daily updates they would send during training. Thank you so much for not just helping teach my dog better manners but loving on her as well!!

We enrolled our dog in the 7 day stay. He has came back a lot calmer. They worked on our problems issues and made suggestions. Love getting the report card with his progress as well as the go home sessions where we learned how pull everything together.

We enrolled one of our two pups in a 4 day drop-off program at West Tennessee K9, and are so happy with the results. We will be enrolling the other one soon, as we see behavior improvements and have increased our understanding of how to communicate with them enormously. The staff is wonderful, caring, patient and generous with their time.
