First off, this place warehouses dogs that they claim they are "rescuing" from area shelters. They…read morekeep them in crap conditions with no actual game plan to adopt them. 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!

Very nice people. Trained my dog with a prong collar. She is moderately responsive now with that…read morecollar in place. But all bets are off with a regular collar. No amount of calm correction or red-faced screaming moderates unacceptable behavior in ANY way. They mostly train in isolation or on the sparsely inhabited sidewalks of their neighborhood, which is in suburban Franklin, not Nashville. Very little socialization or outside interaction. I am now 5 months post-boarding and I can't tell the dog had any training at all. It's a pretty sweet business model though because I'm sure they'll assert the fault is mine for not following through on their training. But that is not the case. Worst $3500 I have ever spent. I feel like an idiot. I have friends who have used other facilities with much better results. Go anywhere else.

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!

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!!!

From the owner: You can train your new family companion anywhere. So, what makes us stand apart?…read more Customized Training -We have learned through years of training that everyone's needs, wants, finances and time are variables that will determine how we can best help you and your pet. We offer free consultations and evaluations at our facility where we learn more about your lifestyle to best benefit you. We will discuss different training programs and tailor fit a program for you. Functional Training Training is only functional when a dog can perform the behaviors in any environment, with any distraction and with speed and reliability. We at The K9 Experts give you the training and tools to be able to achieve this with your four legged friend. Communication Dogs do not speak the English language but understand words through creating behaviors by repetition and reinforcement. We are going to help you and your dog understand each other better through different forms of communication and by creating behaviors you would like your dog to be able to perform, all while building a better relationship between dog and owner. Balanced Training Every dog learns differently and is motivated by different rewards. We believe in balanced training, where dogs are shown success in performing behaviors. This stage is known as shaping, where we create the behaviors and get rid of unwanted manners such as barking, chewing, digging, counter surfing, etc. When the behaviors manifest, we then use tools, timing, and
