    First meet was great. My pup loved meeting the “dog whisperer”. I look forward to learning from him!

    Aiden was able to come out and explain the dog training program. He entered every question that I have and brought his friend along to demonstrate some of the commands and things that we would be learning during training.. it was able to provide me with a reasonable quote and expectations for next steps. I'm looking forward to working with him.

    I enjoyed Reina & Aidan, they were so knowledgeable and gave amazing analogies and personal experience references. I loved how they educated me on the “why” of my actions in relation to what I’m communicating to Sirhant.

    Very thorough, professional, courteous and tough when needed. Very important that the training is practiced daily by the owner with the dog. If the skills provided by Rhett are followed you will have a well trained dog. He and Kaitlyn are the dynamic duo. Thank you

    Rhett was very helpful and informative about everything. He checked out my dog and how she would react to certain things, and immediately had an answer for me. He was super nice and recommended him to anyone.

    Trey has been fantastic in helping me train my puppy. I started working with him when my dog was just 8 months old, and I constantly get compliments on how well‑mannered my pup is. People are always surprised to hear how young he is, a testament to Trey’s guidance and expertise.

    Working with Reina has been amazing. She has individually worked with Apollo and his growth has been amazing. Even his terrible trait of reactivity has improved so much!!!!

    Rhett and Kaitlyn have been amazing to work with. We were on the cusp of euthanasia due to our 6 year old dog suddenly becoming dog reactive to her dog siblings that she has always been around. Rhett laid out a training plan to help with our dog’s confidence and anxiety after meeting with her and us and it has really helped her. She is much less anxious and because of that feels less need to resource guard which was leading to the reactivity. I highly recommend them if you’re struggling with a reactive dog.

    We are new to Dog Training Elite Central Nashville and just signed up for the Platinum obedience package for our pup Roscoe. After reading the reviews and meeting with the trainer Austin we made the right decision! Austin has a lot of knowledge and expertise working with different breeds of dogs. He is very detailed and thorough in his profession!

    Austin has been incredible! All of the interactions we have had with the team since we started have been great! Courteous, professional and prompt with every lesson. Whiskie has improved dramatically, she is still a puppy and we know she’s not going to be perfect. Now part way through the training we have confidence to take her with us on errands, public places and even just in the yard off leash. It takes time and you need to work with the dog every day you can but if you get stuck or have questions the team is super helpful!!

    The Trainers at Dog Trainihg Elite Central Nashville have been phenomenal. My dog, Friend Lee D(awg) is a very sensitive Kerry Blue Terrier who is so grateful I took the leap to get myself trained 🤣 Each trainer has been cordial, professional, quite knowledgeable in their training of Friend Lee. There is awesome communication with calls, texts, and appointment reminders. They have been patient with me and my dog -- very firm, gentle and consistent in their positive approaches. Friend Lee D is a totally new and improved dog. My family immediately noticed how calm and obedient he is. Friend Lee now has commands, assignments and purpose. We both know what we're doing and feel a sense of peace and calm. Our stars align!. I am grateful for entire Dog Training Elite team. Thank you all for your excellence! ~Jackie Grace

Our Training Method

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training, the approach matters. At Dog Training Elite Central Nashville, we rely on a balanced combination of positive reinforcement and gentle electronic collar techniques to provide the best results for you and your dog.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Dogs are eager to please and we take advantage of this in our training method. Unlike other trainers that use harsh punishment to reinforce behavior, we only use positive tactics. By showing dogs what we want them to do with positive reinforcement, we receive a better response. This is the preferred method for dog lovers! We certainly do not want to harm dogs, and we know most dog owners agree with us.
  • Electronic Collar: Our trainers use an electronic collar to support their positive reinforcement training methods. This is not a shock collar. The electronic collar simply gets your dog's attention and ensures superior training results when paired with a command.
  • Stronger Bonds: To develop stronger bonds between dog and family, we ask dog owners and other family members to take part in training sessions. Our goal is to help you train your new dog as a valuable member of your family with love and trust.
