This is what the staff told me and my experience mirrors this. Second, the place smells like urine every time you walk in. Third, if you board your dog, they'll come home with worms, diarrhea, as well as the bag of treats you left for your dog that they didn't bother to give them. If you care about the conditions for your dog, look elsewhere. The positive reviews are all from 5 years ago when they had different ownership.

Grace has been a godsend for us and our dog. We adopted a rescue that has severe resource guarding…read moreissues and had not been socialized with people nor dogs. He's a unique dog, and for a while we weren't sure we would ever find someone who could effectively and safely handle him, but Grace was able to not only speak his language - but also safely integrate him into walks with other dogs and help muzzle train him. She quickly became his favorite person and was one of the only people he trusted. Grace went beyond the walks and basic training and would sometimes ask if she could take him overnight to get him used to being around different dogs (hers) and people. He always loves these sleepover and has learned to better read other dogs and communicate as a result. Our boy has come a long way, and we owe so much of that to Grace and Lucky Dog!

We had to find a kennel in a rush because of an unexpected situation. We called all the kennels we…read moreknew of but they were full, so we went looking at the "unknowns". This turned out to be the perfect place for our dog. Jeff and Grace keep great control over the animals, and keep the numbers way down. Our dog was unsure of herself for the first day or so, but quickly joined the pack because I believe she felt very safe at this place. Great big fenced areas to play in, and best of all communal sleeping on furniture! She felt right at home. Highly recommend this place. You can see her airborne flying with the pack in the second photo!

I was completely lost before meeting Ali and team at Nashville K9. I had seen every Nashville dog…read moretrainer with no success and was confused with the differing opinions of how to handle my dog Iswell. Iswell is a rescue who is a mix of Pit, Boxer, Red Heeler. Iswell has been loved since the day I got him at 2 months old. I did everything everyone was telling me to do. Fed him grain free, socialize him as much as possible, get him around kids, sign him up for obedience classes (2 graduations of success) etc. So I did all of those things to set my pups up for success in the big world. At around a year, Iswell started changing. He would start getting into quarrels at the dog park, lunge at walkers who walked by us and bark continuously at friends who would come over to our house. I was frustrated. Here I had done everything I was "suppose" to do with absolutely no luck. I started signing up for every dog trainer in Nashville. I never left knowing how to handle my dog but left with their opinion of what was wrong with him. Nashville K9 was my last hope. I called and Ali answered. He's a straight shooter and told me exactly what I was doing wrong as the owner. "I don't even to ask because I know your dog sleeps with you and he isn't crated". Wow! How did he know? Ha! I was creating anxiety for my dog without even knowing it. What an awful mother, right? I had to meet this guy and see what Nashville K9 was all about. I packed up Iswell in the car and drove to see the place. It is gated and is maintained to perfection. Even has an outdoor pool! Ali was a great host and showed Iswell and me around the place. Iswell was on edge and wasn't the friendliest to Ali but I knew this is the sort of training he needed. Someone who could break his bad behaviors away from home, give him confidence and then show me how to transition it into our home. I signed him up immediately and Ali was able to get him in sooner than what I wanted. Iswell attended the 4 week board/train program. During his stay, I received 2 weekly emails with a vast number of photos showing off what Iswell had been learning. I would wait on those days so excited to see what Iswell was learning. Damon, trainer at Nashville K9, would send the emails and give you a sentence or two of his progression. I knew Iswell was in good hands. Agility, obedience, socialization were all included in these photos ( I will attach a few for reference). Fast forward to 4 weeks later when I picked up my pups. This sounds crazy to say but I barely recognized him at first. He had gained this whole new confidence I hadn't seen before. He seemed so happy but eager to show off everything he learned. The sweetest woman (I can't remember her name but had trained Iswell) met with me for 3 hours to explain Iswell's new plan. It was extremely detailed. Trainings, one on one time, crate time, potty time and eating schedule. They reminded me of how vital it was to keep to this schedule to help Iswell transition into the home with his new gained knowledge and confidence. I would recommend anyone to take their dog to Nashville K9. The trainers truly care about each dog and ensure they are set up with all the commands/tools they need to build confidence. Iswell is more calm and thinks before he makes a move. He looks at me for guidance. So grateful and will definitely send him for brush up sessions in the future.

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO DEE-O-GEE FOR GROOMING. Read the negative reviews - they are accurate…read more Read Kimberly B's review on June 3, 2026. I've ran into the same issue multiple times with Dee-O-Gee. I recently dropped off my female Bernese Mountain dog for a full grooming at 9:30AM. At 2:15pm, I called to check on the status of my dog, and the person working told me she was almost done drying and was next to be groomed....fine...I'm not going to be that guy. I call back 5:05pm since I haven't heard anything..... MY DOG IS STILL WET AND DRYING and has not been groomed!!! ....again they give me the excuse she takes a long time to dry....almost 8 hours of drying!!! Why did they schedule my appointment at 9:30am if they couldn't groom my dog timely? Who knows if they've given my dog water or a potty break. So many questions, but again read the reviews...this place sucks!

We use to love Dee-O-Gee, we have used their services many times for dog grooming. Toys! You name…read moreit. however, about a month ago we stopped in to have our golden retriever groomed. We wanted just a short trim, just a touch up. We asked for a specific guard size, and described how he just needed his coat evened out. The gentlemen decided to tell us what we would prefer and his recommendation. Though we didn't ask for it. We politely thanked him for his input, then insisted we wanted to keep his coat longer. As well our golden was 3 1/2 weeks out of neutered surgery, his incision was far enough closed that our vet said we could take him to be groomed and bathed. However, we were keeping the soft cone on as it was keeping him from agitating the area. We asked it stay on, and the gentlemen then lectured us how he doesn't muzzle dogs and he thinks cones are malicious. you're a dog groomer that I'm paying, you're not my vet not licensed as a vet and I personally don't care how you choose to take care of your animals. It's not your place to lecture us on how we care for our animal! When we picked our pup up, he was shaven. Even had bald patches on his belly where the cut was terribly uneven. The worst part of it all. His whiskers were shaven down. (Golden retrievers whiskers should never be cut. They still haven't grown back!) My dog was scared, he had been kept in a crate in the back. To top it all off, I had to ask for the soft cone back. As they never had it on him while he was there. it was kept on the counter- unmarked. I had to describe it so the teenager at checkout could go find it and grab it for us. They lost 2 dog customers that visit. Our pup will never go back, as well my in-laws down the street have agreed they are not taking their cane corso/ Great Dane back. Ownership or management must have changed, it use to be such a nice place. Our dog is our family, it's my son. I don't need to be lectured on how to take care of him. That's between our vet and our family. If I choose a haircut, that doesn't mean chose your own instead. Lastly, if I tell you how best to care for my animal, the last thing you do is chose your own path. Irresponsible, careless, rude, unprofessional. You all can kiss my ass. If you love your animal as we do, don't take them there. My reviews are all honest, and I never leave bad feedback. This was truly terrible. I had to speak up.

I cannot say enough about the K9 Experts!!! I have a 60 pound German Shepherd that is a very…read morefriendly, sweet dog but she started developing some behavioral issues. Specifically, pulling on walks to the point that my neck and shoulders hurt, and barking/lunging at dogs while walking. I'd done training with other people/organizations but was not consistent with it, and therefore her behavior regressed and actually got worse. I'd also read various dog training books, but nothing worked. I found GlobalK9 and the K9 Experts online and could tell right off that they had a ton of experience with German shepherds and Belgian malinois and figured they could help. I got a call from Matt Burnett and he was very interested in my goals for my dog and got me a consultation the following weekend. After two private classes, they got me plugged with the intermediate group class and I was so impressed with how much Nyx improved each week!! Not only did they teach my dog the commands, but they also taught me how to communicate with my dog and convey my expectations to her. She's a more happy and balanced dog now, and continually improves as the days and weeks go on! It's clear that The K9 Experts love dogs and love what they do! I tell every dog parent I meet about them and can't recommend them enough!!!
