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!

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.

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.

I love this place, one of the few places around that groom cats. The owner Shawn is the sweetest…read moremost compassionate and understanding human! When I bring my cat there it's usually for matts that got out of control. The first time I booked my appointment on Facebook a few years back, and when I brought her in, they had no idea why I was there and who my cat was. Turns out I made the appointment with a Dee-O-Gee in OHIO!! But the groomer there on that day reached into pet my cat and said "oh! we cannot let her go home like this! We will fit her in!" Of course, I've been going back ever since. The same cat has cancer now and her grooming ability is fading because it's a bulging carcinoma on her face and nose. She's uncomfortable with her coat having several matts and hairballs from badly shedding, and hates being brushed, so I messaged for an urgent grooming, to keep her comfortable for the days or weeks she has left. Not only did Shawn answer me immediately on Facebook messenger, but took her in a few hours later and did a beautiful job! We discussed her condition, managing her stress, keeping it quick, plan B if she couldn't handle the shaver... it would be easy for a groomer to decline such a "patient" but that's not what happened at all. I waited for a bit and my kitty was returned unstressed and Matt-free, wanting to shop the store instead of go back in her crate I'm so grateful, this made her life more comfortable today and relieved my stress over trying to groom her myself!! Note, There were also a couple other times where I needed to work with the groomer on certain requests and custom needs for my cat. They've had different groomers and the cut may differ a little bit, but they always pay attention to what I asked them to focus on whether it's Matt removal, trimming her butt real short etc. I definitely recommend for cat grooming! I'm SO happy I found them (reco from someone at the Williamson animal shelter)!!

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!!!

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
