The system that Gabe used with her is so clear and straightforward in one day I didn't recognize her. After two weeks Maggie was dialed in watching and listening and following her cues. Beside sit stay and Heel she learned to wait for recall, door manners, walking in public, Impulse control, Gate manners. My biggest fear is that I would fail her. RSK9 provides support for the life of your pet. Gabe promised me that he would make sure I didn't fail. Just call them. You'll be glad you did. I am

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.

Melissa has helped train all of my dogs and is unlike anyone else I've ever seen for dog training…read more Melissa is crazy talented and extremely knowledgeable. She has not only transformed bad behaviors in my dogs but also taught me how to better communicate and work as a team with my dogs. Dog training is a lot of training the owner as well and Melissa is extremely easy to work with, takes the time to make sure you understand everything she is teaching and uses a variety of methods to train your dog to be the best that they can be! I recommend Melissa to everyone. She even helped out of town family members tremendously over FaceTime training to improve leash/walking skills! We love Melissa and you will too!

Melissa is so down to earth and professional. I am a first time dog owner- kinda insane that I got such a stubborn and smart dog (beagles) but Melissa taught me SO much. For those that know how difficult the puppy stage is- I would have never survived it without her. She was available in between training sessions to help if Eleanor started a new bad habit or started a strange behavior. Anytime I had any questions or concerns- Melissa was always available with advice, links to products that saved my mental health. She is a phenomenal trainer, human being and sooo knowledgeable and experienced! Highly recommend!!!!!!

After just our consultation with them, Lucy was 100% better on the leash and now she loose leash walks everywhere. I also really appreciated that they customized the training for us and for our dog. Lucy has a lot of idiosyncrasies and her behavior didn't always make sense, but Lauren and Jim worked with us to find something that worked specifically for our dog and our situation. Not only were they great at helping us figure out what worked for our dog, but they were honestly just a great time to be around. Training with an energetic dog can be frustrating but they were always extremely helpful and just fun to be around. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of dog training services!

I never have to worry when my girl is with Allegiant and as eager as I am to get her back after a trip I know it's bitter sweet because my pup truly loves being with Matt and the team and I know she always has the best time with them. Forever thankful for all that Matt does.

When I adopted my dog May this past March I knew I had my work cut out for me. She was a feral…read morecountry dog who didn't know how to walk on a leash or sit. I bought a personal training package from Instinct and the trainer came to my home to train my dog and me. It was such a good decision. Both May and I really liked working with the trainer Lauren S. Her approach and tone were awesome. I knew from the first appointment with her that it was going to be great. I'd been trying to figure out how to get May to sit for weeks. Lauren got her sitting in a session. All in all I think we had 9 sessions with Lauren. In that time we learned a lot and have been applying it. My relationship with my dog is so much better because of Instinct. The thing I will caution people against is having unrealistic expectations of your dog and the trainer. If you go in with the desire to make your dog a unquestioningly obedient robot then you will be disappointed. Just focus on the over all quality and happiness of your dog's life

We are so glad we called Instinct! We had a bad experience with a previous trainer, but the second…read moreAyelet got on the phone with us we knew we were in good hands. We were even sent an hour long questionnaire about our dog's history/health/behavior/etc. prior to training. Y'all...they care so much! We have a 1 year old rescue pup who's dog reactive, and we've been pretty much unable to take him on walks or near other dogs at all. Jenna helped us overcome all of this and we could not be more grateful. She coached us on how to slowly warm him up to lots of different scenarios- we even had a playdate with another dog today with no issues! His reactivity will be something we'll continue to work on for months, but I can't tell you how relieved we are to have gained some confidence with it. Jenna really helped put things into perspective and helped us understand how to read our dog and take things at his pace. You really can't rush progress like this, and I love that Instinct doesn't promise "quick, fast, easy results" because those are not effective or even possible. We would absolutely do this again if given the chance, booking with Instinct was a game changer.
