    Montana is wonderful! She truly changed the dynamic of our relationship with our dog Ryley.

    Montana did a fantastic job helping with our new puppy, Lucy. She worked with Lucy and us on how to get her to stop nipping at our fingers and toes and it worked perfectly. Helping me work on basic obedience and making Lucy know I was the one in control and not her. She really set us up to having a happy, healthy pup! I would recommend her to EVERYONE! She went above and beyond!

    Montana did an amazing job helping me get my crazy, high energy dog under control. I can now go out on walks and have him off leash and know that he will come back to me 100%. A+!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Montana Goins to train my support dog, Saddie, and I am beyond impressed with the results! From the very first session, Montana demonstrated a deep understanding of dog behavior and a calm, patient approach that immediately put both me and Saddie at ease. Montana took the time to get to know Saddie’s specific needs as a support dog, and tailored the training to address her unique challenges. The progress we’ve made in just a few sessions has been incredible. Saddie is now more focused, responsive, and calm in situations that used to overwhelm her. Montana’s training methods are effective, compassionate, and easy to follow, and she provides clear guidance on how to reinforce what we’ve worked on during each session.

    DTE took such great care and patience to help us with training our new black Lab puppy Bruno! Of course being a labrador puppy he was always jumping on everyone and nipping at whatever he could get his teeth on, now he is very polite and sweet and hasn't jumped on a single visitor! It was a truly amazing difference and our little puppy Brun is now so well behaved!

    Munchkin is much less anxious around strangers, and was super crazy around the house. Now she is perfect around others. Thank you Dog Training Elite! :) A++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Montana is a great trainer. She will work with you on your desired commands, but also has the ability to work on behavioral corrections, whether or not other dogs are around. She helped Frosty with food aggression and dominance issues, I haven’t had an issue since!

    Montana has completely transformed my Belgian mal x. In just one session Luna went from pulling me on our walks to a perfect heal. It was like night and day!!

    I can't express enough how thrilled I am with Montana's dog training services! Montana Goins worked wonders with Eli, my 2-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd. From the start, Montana was so patient, understanding, and insightful in her approach. She tailored the training to Eli's unique personality and needs, which made all the difference. Not only has Eli learned new skills and commands, but his behavior has improved significantly. He’s more focused, calm, and eager to please now. I’m so pleased with the progress Eli has made, and I can't recommend Montana highly enough to anyone looking to train their dog. Truly an exceptional experience!

    Dog training Elite has changed my life. My dog was crazy before! He jumped on people, and pulled me on a leash. Now I can have people over, and walk him through the neighborhood no longer stressed! Parker is so knowledgeable.

    Parker was a great dog trainer! He trained me how to train my dog! I have hired multiple dog trainers with no luck, but Dog Training Elite was able to help me with my dog’s terrible behavior. I now can walk him off leash!

    Dog Training Elite has been so amazing to work with! My dog was out of control!!! She jumped on people, pulled me on a leash, and constantly bolted out the front door! Parker was able to come over listen to my concerns and train my dog to be the best dog ever! Everyone that comes over constantly compliments how well behaved she is. Thank you dog training elite

    My dog Sage was very unruly. She jumped, bolted out the front door, and would pull on the leash. She was such a head ache. I was hesitant about paying for dog training, but hands down was one of the best decisions I have ever made! She now listens to me when I call her back to me on hikes. She no longer pulls in a leash. My friends and family now love coming over to my house. Parker was an incredible dog trainer. He taught me and my dog how to have a better relationship. Dog Training Elite was amazing to work with.

    Cosima was awesome! Our dog Frankie learned so much! Cosima was always patient, soft-spoken and kind. We look forward to the group training and we know that Frankie will be the best-trained dog we’ve ever had!

    Cosima has been wonderful training our rescue pup! 3 of 5 lessons in, our strong-willed, often stubborn puppy has been maturing well, improving her behavior and attention to us. She loves Cosima and is she certainly tired after her brain works so hard learning new things! Adding after lesson 5: so impressed with Cosima’s patience and skill as she finished the fifth lesson today with our Bella! Our puppy has responded well to this method of training and we look forward to group lessons now!

    Reina from Dog Training Elite Central Nashville came to do an in-home evaluation of our 4 month old puppy. She was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, concise, and transparent about the training options, what the sessions would be like, and answering our questions. As well as being personable. We are very excited to start working with this group!

    Carol is great! I was nervous to spend so much money and afraid it wouldn’t work, but the training has been incredible for our big guy.

Our Training Method

Read More

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.
