Military Veteran Service Dog Training in Knoxville, TN

Amber is very knowledgeable and gave us homework that makes sense and is easy to understand and apply

Julia was fantastic and you can tell that she really cares about the dogs and building the foundations so their quality of life is improved long term. Great session. Thank you!

First training with Kenna went great! Our little Poppy loved it. We’re so excited to start this journey!

We thought your representative was pleasant and confident that she could help us with our training needs.

Reina was very informative, calm and explained everything so we could understand.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Reina as my dog trainer, and I cannot recommend her more highly. From start to finish, she demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and dedication that truly sets her apart. Reina’s approach to training is both structured and personalized. She takes the time to assess your dog’s unique personality and learning style, then tailors her methods accordingly. One of the things I appreciated most was her step-by-step explanations for every exercise and command. She didn’t just show me what to do—she explained why we were doing it, how it benefits the dog, and what to watch for in my dog’s behavior. This level of detail made the learning process so much clearer and easier to follow. Throughout every session, Reina was incredibly patient and encouraging, with both me and my dog. She managed to create an environment that was positive and fun, while still being highly productive. Her instructions were easy to understand, and she made sure I felt confident and capable before moving on to the next step. She also took extra time to answer my questions and point out small things I might have missed, like subtle body language cues from my dog or slight adjustments to my technique that made a big difference. The results speak for themselves: my dog has made tremendous progress, and I feel much more equipped to continue reinforcing the training at home. Reina’s professionalism, knowledge, and natural ability to communicate with both dogs and people make her an outstanding trainer.

Very friendly and kind.

Reina is friendly and knows her job very well. My dog loves her.

Carol, Parker, and Julia were absolutely exceptional for me and my golden retriever, Mr. Moose! I couldn’t have asked for a better service than what was provided. The group training with the other dogs was very fun and helpful to Moose’s training. Carol and Julia made sure that he was 100% ready for his public access test before he took it to make sure he would pass. Parker was Moose’s trainer for his task training, he made sure all of the instructions for the lesson were understood before the day finished and was very interactive, patient and kind to Moose. I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer!

Montana came for a consultation for training. She was very thorough and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend, we are so excited to start our training for our dog. We just had our 2nd training session, and I can't believe how much better our dog is behaving and minding us. Montana is just amazing. If you need training for your puppy/dog this is definitely the way to go. We have completed our one on one training and are moving into group training. I can’t praise all of the trainers we have worked with enough. Montana, Amber, Reina, Red - they are all absolutely amazing. Our precious Newfydoodle Ruby took to training so well and I give all the credit to the excellent trainers. If you are looking for training for your dog these are the people to call you will love them and so will your precious pup.

Giving a full 5 stars already, which is rare for me. Great service, some serious dog trainers here. They came to my house, not ones but twice cause I missed the first appointment. Free in house assessment and can give you a quote on the spot.

She is a wonderful trainer and Bear loved her!!

We’ve only just started platinum training for my stubborn 3 year old French bulldog, and two weeks in my boy is already following new commands both on and off leash. We still have a long way to go, but Montana has been nothing but professional, prompt, and thorough in walking me thru all the steps she takes to achieve the desired end result. We will miss her immensely as she embarks on a new, self owned professional training venue down in Georgia. Thank you for being so wonderful!

She was very attentive and explained in great detail the process by which we would have to go to get where we want to go. He showed me photos and videos.

Amber has help so much

We have been really happy with Elite dog training. We have 2 muts. We have a 11 year old and an 2 year old and they are learning a lot. Parker is excellent with both dogs and has helped us learn a lot as well. We have really seen a significant improvement in the dogs already. We would highly recommend Parker and Elite training!

Great

Wonderful experience today with Montana from Elite..communicates clearly, knowledgable, and she is a friendly, kind person. The training is best price I have found for in home and classes. They offer service and obedience. She works individually with the dogs abilities. I am excited to have my first training.

Montana has done an excellent job of training my GSD. The team at Dog Training Elite in Nashville, Specialist shout out to Kenna, have all done an excellent job with communication, training and showing a genuine care for both myself and GSD.

Parker and Montana are awesome! Very patient with our scared dog and really helpful when it comes to a to answering all of our questions.
