Parker was great, he came in and evaluated our dogs. Very professional, and you can tell he’s had lots of experience training. Would recommend!

Kenna, Montana & Parker all worked with our dogs and us to create an amazing foundation for us to train both our pups. We have experienced great progress with everything they taught us and them. It is worth the money as long as you are willing to put in the time with your dog. We are looking forward to the remaining group trainings. Thanks Kenna, Parker & Montana for working with us.

Awesome experience with Dog Training Elite!!! They have been helping us with our Labrador and we have seen him make continual progress since day 1. They have been great with helping us address problem behaviors. The instruction we’ve received has empowered us to shape the behaviors we want our dog to display and stop the ones that have been a problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Dog Training Elite was awesome! Couldn’t recommend them enough. My dog would get super hyper/aggressive around the kids and other dogs. Now they are much more tame and their behavior improved greatly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for effective and compassionate training!

I am so grateful that I decided to do Dog Training with Dog Training Elite. My standard poodle used to pull on the leash all the time and jump on guests. Now he is the most distinguished gentleman, I am so happy with his progress and training!

thank you so much to Parker at Dog Training Elite for helping me with my rambunctious Labradoodle. He used to bark at every thing outside our door. It felt like we couldn’t even have dinner and talk to each other without hearing Myers bark. Now he can lay down on his place and relax while we eat dinner. I’m so grateful that we decided to invest in dog training!

Thank you so much to Parker at dog training, elite for saving our sanity when it came to our dog. I was at my wits end with my dog, jumping all over everybody and pulling on the leash. Now she is so polite and walks like an angel. I loved my private in-home sessions with the trainers. Everybody was so amazing! Thank you, Dog Training Elite!

I am so grateful that I called Dog Training Elite! My dog was jumping on every guest that walked in the door and counter surfing. She would get sick and I would take her to the vet from what she would eat. Now she respects the boundaries of our guests that come over and no longer counter surfs. Thank you so much to Parker at dog training late for your expertise and help. I would recommend dog turning elite to everyone!!

Thank you Montana and Parker for your patient endurance while training our very stubborn French Bulldog. Our dog Gideon has aggressive tendencies and Elite trainers has given us the tools needed to work toward a more obedient/well behaved pup. Still work to do, but making progress!

My insecure golden retriever lacked confidence and social skills! Elite did a great job of not only building his confidence, but helping me understand him.

I am so pleased with DTE!!! We currently have a 1 year old golden retriever at 78 pounds. Callahan! Named after “Dirty Harry Inspector Callahan” Clint Eastwood… We had senior pups a Beagle and Bassett Hound before they recently passed. With Callahan we have gone from seniors at 20 mph to Callahan at 100 mph (!) Callahan’s breeder recommended dog training. I have never done dog training. Googling, I saw DTE had great reviews. We started with 1 on 1’s at our house. Then group training! Some shout outs to the fabulous trainers at group : Montana, Liam and Andi. All professional and know what they are doing with dogs. I’m probably forgetting someone? But all excellent. But I’m not forgetting PARKER! I swear this man must have been raised with wolves and dogs. He’s part of the pack and instinctively knows how to handle dogs. I had issues with Callahan heeling and running after everything on our walks. Squirrels, runners, cyclists, etc. Parker has helped me control Callahan. We have the proper collar. Parker taught me collar adjustment, collar location on dog’s neck and leash snap. I learned change direction when I see distraction. Like a bunny. Parker also had me practice on him as if he were the dog, feeling the dog pull and learning when I needed to snap. At first I was late lots with my snap but eventually I got the hang of it. Highly recommend DTE. Worth the investment in training a dog. They are responsive and flexible to meet you and your dog’s needs. And request Parker if you really need lots of help! Catherine and Callahan

Dog training elite has been a GAME CHANGER!!! Cannot recommend them enough. My dog got attacked and has never been the same. Within the first two sessions she was already a completely different dog. I’ve been recommending them to everyone I see- every time I leave my house people comment saying that my dog is so well behaved. Sooo so so well worth it over and over again. If you’re thinking about doing it- DO IT!

I am so glad that I put my dog Winnie in training with Dog Training Elite. We had found her as a stray on the side of the road in Nashville and she needed training to be able to adjust to living in our house. She now is amazing with respecting all of our house guests that come over and grown so much in confidence. Thank you to Parker at Dog Training Elite in Nashville for all of your help!

Rizzo is my sweet rescue dog that constantly barked at everything! On walks he was very reactive towards other dogs. He wasn’t a bad dog but just really annoying! He now stops barking when I tell him to, and I can walk past other dogs with no barking or reactivity. If you are looking for dog training in Nashville give them a call! They changed my life! And Rizzo loves the trainers!:)

I’m astonished at how much my dog has retained in the duration of this course. Parker, Kenna and Montana were FANTASTIC trainers for my boy. He is disciplined and loves to train- I can only thank the team for making it so fun. He is great with other dogs, very patient and obedient, which is hard to train into his breed. I’m very happy we went with Dog Training Elite Central Nashville, 5 stars.

Montana is a true dog lover and was amazing with our (very stubborn) dog. She was patient, supportive, and really helped us understand how to work with Koa instead of against him. Training felt less stressful and way more doable with her guidance. We only wish we had found Montana and her team earlier.

I was out in Nashville for the summer and got an emotional support dog to help me out with my stressful job. Before I found Parker and Dog Training Elite, Russel was a bit to rambunctious he was always barking and some neighbors were upset. I am super happy with their training program and Russel is now a huge blessing to me. THANKS GUYS

Our dog, Teddy, is 9 years old. Although not really aggressive, he would get highly anxious when strangers came over (even if they were friends) and bark nonstop. It was hard to have guests in our home. We were concerned that he was too old to be trained not to behave this way. Montana was able to teach Teddy a handful of basic commands within a few weeks. When ordered to behave with these commands, we noticed Teddy quickly become much less anxious with practically no barking at all around guests. Montana did a great job with Teddy and I highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Parker and Dog Training Elite. We are a family of 5 in the Brentwood area and we recognized we needed help with our Goldenddoodle puppy (Auggie) as our self-training was just not working, especially considering Auggie has high anxiety. Parker, Reina, Liam and Montana were all great and helped build Auggie’s (and our) confidence and we have seen a massive change in behavior over the last 2+ months we’ve been working with the Dog Training Elite crew. We highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!! The best dog trainers out there. Definitely money well spent. Parker was a pleasure to work with and he makes sure to pay special attention to detail and will leave you feeling confident in your ability to carry on what they teach. My Blaze went from temperamental to obedient and we have been closer than ever! He no longer gets snippy at people and listens well. I would 1000% recommend.

I’m so grateful that my husband and I decided to train my dog with Parker and Dog training elite Nashville! We would try to take our dog for walks which never went well because he would bark and try to chase after other dogs. After training, he now walks right by our sides and doesn’t try to run away or bark.

Our dog Winston grew and learned so so much with DTE!! Winston was a VERY stubborn dog and they truly were a blessing when it came to working with him and giving him the patience he needed with training. We are grateful they worked with not only him but trained us as well on anything ranging from not pulling on walks, taking things out of peoples hands, bolting out the door, etc. They were very accommodating and listened to ALL of our concerns and absolutely everything was addressed very thoroughly. We had looked into dozens of training centers and I am glad we chose DTE! They set you up for success that goes far after the training sessions end. It has been a pleasure to watch Winston grow from a very scared/anxious dog with resource aggression into a dog who is so confident with himself and has so so much obedience and respect for other people/animals space and boundaries.

We did so much research for dog training, and this team is the absolute BEST!!! So incredibly helpful and flexible, and they gave us the attention, tools, and e-collar training we needed to transform our pup Ida into the best dog in the world. We worked with Liam and Parker the most, and they’re amazing—truly so knowledgeable and patient. Everyone here is so kind and experts at what they do, and their results speak for themselves!!!

Hiring Dog Training Elite has truly been one of the best decisions we have ever made! Both my Pitbull and German Shepard were out of control. They would jump on guests and bark uncontrollably. Now after training it has made the biggest difference! My dogs now walk on a leash nicely and are so good with guests! If you are looking for a dog trainer in Nashville for sure give them a call! Thank you dog training elite.

It did not know having a well behaved dog was even possible through training! I thought it was just luck if you got a good dog. My dogs used to be out of control. They would bolt out of the front door, counter surf, and dig in the back yard. Now my dogs are so well behaved. They listen on and off leash, are amazing with guests, and know obedience commands really well. Dog training elite are the best dog trainers in Nashville

We live in Brentwood, and contacted Dog Training Elite for help with our new puppy!! We have grandchildren and needed some help for our puppy to be able to play nicely with kids. Parker and his team were SO helpful and patient answering all of our questions and completely transforming our dog. My dog now stays by my side on walks, plays nicely with the kids (no biting or barking), stays off of our counters and couches. Our experience was 100/10, we couldn’t recommend Parker and his team at Dog Training Elite enough!!

We used Dog Training Elite for our little guy Lucky in Nashville and are soooo happy with the results. lucky went from being disobedient and snappy to very friendly, kind respectful and loving. He no longer steals food from the counter and nips or bites at strangers. Parker was such a pleasure to work with and 100% worth the cost. It was an investment that has paid off 10x over! Highly highly recommend.

Reina, Montana, and Parker were all easy to work with. Knowledgeable, helped us make strides with Finch quickly and feel confident in working with him. I love how they work together as a team, similar in training concepts and all a little different with their tips and things to try - great support all the way around. Jen was great too, very helpful with scheduling and questions. Thanks everyone, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend DTE!

My dog Lucy is now so well-behaved. She walks so nicely on a leash and greets others politely. She's gotten to the point that I can let her out in the front yard, and even under high amounts of distraction, she comes back when called. Parker has been such a great trainer to work with. He understands my dog and was able to help us accomplish all our goals. Dog Training Elite, with their in-home training, is the best you will find in Franklin, TN.

Dog Training Elite has truly changed my dog. My dogs used to jump on guests and bolt out the door. Now, they sit politely while getting a pet, and stay inside the house when the door opens. Parker is the best dog trainer in Brentwood. I have been so happy with the process and results.

Parker did an amazing job helping our dog moose be well behaved indoors. We live near Nashville, where we see a lot of people and he doesn’t bark uncontrollably at people coming to the door now and neighbors walking by. He has a very friendly demeanor and people love him now! Would highly recommend Dog Training Elite for their premium work.

I have been working with Montana for the one-on-one basic training portion of the program. She has been incredibly kind and helpful through the process. We are super excited to start the group training portion! Also a special shout out for Parker who came out for our last session, he was awesome! For anyone on the fence about going through with it, I recommend Dog Training Elite 10/10 as long as you’re willing to put in the work outside of training sessions (as is the case for pretty much any kind of training). I have been able to see results in my puppy’s behavior pretty much immediately under their guidance.

We had the absolute best experience with Dog Training Elite! I've had a lot of dogs in my life, but never took training seriously and knew with our new puppy, I wanted to do it right. The team was professional, loving, and supportive every step of the way. They instruct in a calm and cool manner, and made sure we were comfortable with the process along the way. Do not HESITATE to use these folks if you want to be successful in your dog training journey. It's a relief to bring our dog out in public and know she'll be happy and also obedient; we often chuckle to ourselves when we see a dog out of control...it's not that hard folks-- just get with Dog Training Elite!

Parker was an amazing trainer for our 1yo Labrador. She used to pull on the leash and had poor recall, not to mention a myriad of other behavior issues. Now, she is very obedient and recalls 100% of the time without issue. I run with her off the leash through neighborhoods and trails without issue, and we’re both much happier that way! A great investment!

I absolutely love our trainer Reina! She is doing beautifully helping me out with my boy, Bolt. She is a very sweet individual that has an amazing vibe to her! I wouldn’t trade Reina for anything! Before we started with DTE, my boy was very reactive towards any noise, person, or dog. We have only had 4 sessions so far, and Bolt seems more comfortable with himself and our older dog, Lucas, which was a problem before we started training. Today after his session, he KISSED LUCAS!!! I have never seen them so comfortable with eachother before, and I think the confidence raise that the training is doing is helping him tremendously!! He has a long way to go, but so far, Bolt is doing very good with his emotions!! I highly recommend Dog Training Elite if you have a reactive/aggressive dog! They treat their clients amazingly, and they understand when the dog is struggling with a command and will help the best they can!! Don’t ever think your aggressive or reactive dog is untrainable, because Dog Training Elite shows otherwise!!! Additional: Reina really understands Bolt’s emotions and it makes me so thankful I was able to get a trainer like her. Bolt is weaning off of his Prozac now which is amazing! He is a happier dog now even if he has his days, but everyone does! The group sessions have helped him tremendously with his anxiety and his aggression. I see him one day being an off-leash dog that is desensitized by humans and animals! Thank you Reina and Dog Training Elite! I wouldn’t trade this professionalism for anything!

Signing up for dog training with Dog Training Elite was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! Cosima, Parker and Reina are so knowledgeable and kind. Our Newfoundland pup Ginny is now responsive to commands, and gentle on the leash thanks to what we have learned from our sessions. It has been so nice to have the confidence that our dog won’t jump on other people, or pull hard on walks! Thank you Dog Training Elite Nashville!😊

I am not overstating when I say the training has changed our lives. We have 2 mini Australian Shepards that were on high alert 24/7. They are so much calmer and happier now. They can relax and they understand what we are telling them to do. The trainers were all great. We worked with 4 different ones and they were all professional, patient, and very helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone needing help with their dog.

Parker has completely changed my dog! Toby has only had 4 sessions and it’s already like night and day. Toby is 10 years old and this past month is the first time he has been relaxed and calm when I answer the door and let someone in. He’s way less agitated and territorial. Allowing my brother to even give me a hug in the past has been a trigger for aggression, but now it’s like he doesn’t care. He’s not worried. I am in shock at how well this is going and I’m excited for the future. Toby’s life has completely changed because of Parker and his trainers. Thank you guys!!

Our goldendoodle Jersie had some basic training when she was a pup but she would still jump on people and bark when guests would come over or when others would walk past our home.

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!

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!

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.

Carol was great. I was so scared my dog wouldn't do well in this setting but after the first visit she calmed down so much. I can't wait to take her into the therapy clinic with me!

Carol has been amazing! She’s helped transform our home from utter chaos to more controlled chaos with our three dogs. We hired Dog training elite to help us manage some aggression between our Great Pyrenees, goldendoodle, and German Shepard. Plus some general training they all needed. We can now get them to stay in place with company and walk right beside us. Thank you!!

I love working with the Dog Training Elite Central Nashville Team! They have provided me with a source of confidence when it comes to training my dog. If I ever have any questions they are always polite and reply in a timely manner. They truly are rooting for their clients to succeed!! Parker has been great in One on One sessions and always has great advice for working with Briar at home!

Im permanently disabled and in a wheelchair. I had just bought a Burnese Mountain Dog pup and was curious about service training for her. I found DTE through web searching and took a leap with their service. I cannot express the amount of care and professionalism their team provides to each individual dog and their owner's needs. The classes/sessions occur both privately and in group settings. The locations chosen for the classes range from large stores like Lowe's, small parks, and your own home. All the training I received was expertly communicated to me as a dog owner and all training objectives are made clear throughout each individual process. I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite more to anyone looking to obedience or service training a dog.

After just four sessions with DTE, my very anxious rescue is already showing so much progress! He’s building his confidence every day with the methods the DTE team has used, and my confidence in my own ability to simultaneously be in charge and put him at ease is growing too. I used to barely be able to keep my pup outside long enough for him to do his business before some noise would scare him so badly he’d almost pull me over trying to run inside. A month into training, we’re going on real walks around the neighborhood! The DTE team is so kind, professional, helpful and responsive, and the training has improved both my and my dog’s quality of life. Couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve made so far, and excited to continue!

Luna and I had our initial meeting with Parker today. He was very professional and well spoken. I can, from his demonstration tell that Luna will be exceptionally well prepared to be my service dog, once she’s gone through the training.

Best experience ever. I already had a good dog. And Parker came in and in a few sessions and conversations my dog is so much easier. Walking and not dragging me along, coming when called have changed my life. Parker has the best service I’ve experienced in the dog training arena, always available patient and willing to work around me to see that my dog gets the best possible training. 10/10 would recommend.

We currently have two lab puppies training with Elite and we couldn’t be more pleased. Izabel and Parker are extremely knowledgeable, firm and kind and have supported us through a most challenging puppy stage. We are so happy to have two beautiful dogs who are responding very well to the Elite methods of training!

Dog Training Elite has been amazing! My dog, Lola, and I have made great strides as we have worked with the group, and Reina has been great! She trains ME how to train and work consistently with my pup. We are working towards therapy certification, and I’m so glad we found Dog Training Elite. Highly recommend!

You will often see them hiking, skiing, or playing fetch together. Parker has volunteered at the Malinois Foundation for several years, assisting in the training and placement of service dogs for veterans, children, first responders, and women survivors.
