Mr. Lloyd is AMAZING!!!! I called every place in Nashville to find an obedience trainer and was…read morewilling to spend much more money than what Mr. Lloyd charges. Mr. Lloyd was the only one who was knowledgeable enough to tell me that my labradoodle needed to wait until at least 5 months old in order for the training to stick. No other place was willing to tell me that. I have paid thousands of dollars for puppies to be trained (mainly labs) in Memphis and those trainers did a great job but Mr. Lloyd exceeded them by leaps and bounds. He takes the time to explain the process and makes sure you understand the method that he uses. My pup, Zoe, came home with a foundation that I am now able to build upon to make her the perfect part of the family. I will be taking our new labradoodle puppy to Mr. Lloyd when she is old enough and will be boarding the pups with him when we are out of town. You do not need to look any further than Advanced Canine for your dog training needs!!!!

Hiring the Dog Wizard was one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. Our pup was…read moreprobably no different than any other pup but my lack of experience with raising dogs led to daily frustration and mental breakdowns. I started seriously questioning returning our puppy because I had ZERO left in me to tolerate her. To make a long story short, we researched dog trainers and were impressed with the amount of positive reviews we read on The Dog Wizard and decided to give the private training sessions a shot. Tate was our trainer and he was heaven sent. I appreciated how he took the time to listen to our individual problems with our pup and never once made me feel like the most clueless dog owner (which I can admit to being at one point). In our sessions I learned an immense amount about how my puppy was interpreting my actions and different methods to try on her. Our sessions were part education and part action. We would apply the newly learned method with the pup until it clicked. Getting a dog trainer does not mean that you are off the hook after he/she leaves. The only way to get your the training methods to stick are to continue to practice them every day. It's a great way to hold you accountable until the next session. I couldn't have been happier with the level of knowledge and accommodation Tate provided us with. If you're even slightly thinking about hiring the Dog Wizard, I can promise you that you and your sanity will not regret it.

My fiancé and I brought home our puppy, Maverick, in June, and as first-time puppy owners, we…read morequickly realized we were in over our heads. Within a couple of weeks, it was clear we needed some guidance on how to train him (and honestly, how to train ourselves too). From our very first call with Chris at Music City K-9 Training, we knew he was the right fit. We signed up for the 5-week Better Obedience program, and it was the best decision we could've made. Chris is not only super knowledgeable, but he's also patient and makes everything really easy to understand. He doesn't just train your dog--he teaches you how to handle situations with confidence and patience. By the end of the program, Maverick had made huge strides in his obedience, and my fiancé and I felt way more capable of continuing his training on our own. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and knows how to get results, I can't recommend Chris and Music City K-9 Training enough. He made such a difference for us and for Maverick, and we're so grateful we found him.

I cannot thank him enough for all of the hard work and dedication he gave us during our training. He has completely changed the way we look at owning a dog. Our boy Burrow is a completely different dog after this program. I highly highly recommend going with Chris when thinking about training your pup! He's amazing.

So we drove the 50 minutes with excitement and high hopes. This "club" is run on a volunteer basis so getting a hold of anyone is impossible. Emails are iffy even though they claim to have sent them, and I did check spam. At the training there were 3 instructors; only one was actually good. The main instructor spoke so low and quietly you couldn't hear her half the time . One participant , who was an older lady, had to tell her to speak up because she couldn't hear her but it didn't help. Then there was the blond hair lady who, for whatever reason, decided she had a problem with me. I arrived on time, barely spoke in class, took their instructions, and did my best with implementing those instructions on my puppy. Now here's the issue I had with this person. My positive reinforcement word for my puppy was "good girl" and I would bend down and say that to her every time she hit her training and give her a treat. This woman, I do not know her name or I would gladly put it here, came up on me, I mean very close to my face, and proceeded to say that I'm not saying my positive reinforcement word and did so rudely and with attitude. When I told her yes I'm saying it she looked at me and said, again rudely, "well I'm not hearing it." Hmm I didn't know I had to shout "good girl" for the entire class to hear. Since my dog reaches just above my ankles and when I bend down to praise her I figure she's the only one that needs to hear " good girl" and not the entire class. This instructor, I use that word lightly, was lucky that day. I took her rudeness and attitude and didn't call her on it. I should have but I figured I'd write this review instead She is rude, had attitude and wasn't much of an instructor. We did not return to class and have opted to put our pup in training at another facility. This woman needs to find something else to do. I will say this, there was one instructor, wish I knew her name and her information, who was great. She knew how to speak to people, give you advise without being rude. She would come to you and try to help you do a command while the other two would talk about their day. This instructor was a tall, thin older woman with gray hair. If she trains somewhere other than here I would gladly take my pup to. My advise is to find another training facility that is not run by volunteers and one that will actually help you in all aspects of training. This place is horrible!!!

Short version: she's amazing with dogs and very quickly got my two out of control dogs under control. She's honorable, professional and provides great value. If you are considering retaining her, do it! Just look at the pictures of my happy dogs. That's all you need to know. Long version: I have worked with Noelle since about March and since that time have come to rely on her for all things dog related. I hired her initially for the intensive dog training, still rely on her for weekly training sessions, and have used her for "house sitting" the dogs when I travel. I recommend all three services as highly as you can recommend anything. Let me explain. On Super Bowl Sunday, 2014, I rescued two French Bulldogs and named them Zeus and Apollo. You may recall these are the names of the exceptionally well behaved Dobermans from Magnum PI. Well, my lads were far from that. They had been smuggled inform Russia and then detained at a farm in 29 Palms with dozens of other dogs. They were about 6 months old, had no potty training and were constantly fighting. They wouldn't sleep or go in their crates. They went to the bathroom in the house it seemed like every 15 minutes. They refused to walk on a leash. After a month, I was sleepless, frustrated and about to quit. Enter Noelle! Within 2 days, they were sleeping in their crates the entire night. They were on the path to be potty trained. She came in for an intensive program (6 hours per day for 10 days or so), but got the dogs under control so quickly that she didn't need to stay for the whole time. So, she graciously agreed to a longer term training program, which we continue to this day. Not only did she train the dogs, she helped me understand how to bring out the best in my dogs. She provided detailed instructions and helped me become a better dog manager. The dogs went from being neurotic monsters to two of the most friendly dogs you can imagine. They are incredibly friendly, great around kids and just love other dogs. If you want further information, please feel free to reach out and I can give you more information about what a blessing Noelle has been. Tomasulo.michael@gmail.com

Charlie still exhibits most "puppy behavior" and our goal with training is to have a well behaved/obedient dog that we can bring everywhere and not have to worry about misbehaving. We have tried training before, but nothing compares to the experience we are having with Noelle, our trainer. Noelle has been with us every step of the way - checking in constantly and visiting our home throughout the process. The care we receive is so personalized and the advice is very actionable. The key word here is CUSTOMIZED. Group classes can be helpful, but there is no substitute for in home training. The house is the foundation for your dog's life and it is necessary to build a strong foundation there. Noelle comes to your home, helps you set it up to be a "successful environment" and then starts training on day 1. You have a guide book to help you, but she goes through every page and activity with you in-person. Noelle utilizing leading-practice research that has been tested and tried again and again. Charlie is already more responsive to commands and we see improvements on a weekly basis. As Noelle reminds us, this is a process and there is a strategic plan in place that has proven results. I'll write another review in a few months, but as of now - we are very pleased and would highly recommend Tinseltown.
