Border Collie Training in Nashville, TN

Red is a very professional and excellent trainer for our pup. He always gives great tips and encourages both me and my pup during our sessions. I highly recommend him for all your puppy training needs.

Red from Dog Training Elite is the BEST! We truly cannot sing his praises enough. He helped turn our crazy puppy into such a well behaved dog. We love how communicative Dog Training Elite is - they have made this such a smooth training process.

Gus has been training with Red, Raina, and the Dog Training Elite team since he was 9 weeks old. We could not be happier with the puppy training Gus has received, and we are looking forward to starting group classes soon. He has transformed from a crazy, often frustrating puppy to a companionable and trustworthy friend in just a few short months with their help. He’s ready to keep learning and growing under their steady and gentle training.

We have worked with Red for the past few months and can see such a beautiful change in our dog. He is less nervous and listens so much better. Red is very thorough and patient with us as we learn the commands. We love working with Red! He has made us love our dog!!

Highly recommend! Great service

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

I’m super impressed with my trainings with Parker. He’s been patient and understanding with my progress with my puppy, awarding my successes and encouraging me to focus on small changes that have made a huge difference. Training is timely, and requires consistent diligence and repetition. Parker understands and refuels my efforts with each visit. I highly recommend Elite Central Nashville!

Red was a huge help to us! He was so patient and kind while helping us work with our very reactive dog. Definitely recommend.

Hiring dog training elite was by far one of the best decisions I ever made. Before my dog would bark at literally everything. Now he is so well behaved and so calm. While walking him, I used to have to cross to the other side of the road to avoid other dogs and people. And now I can just walk past them and he is calm and so well behaved. I hired multiple other dog trainers before, but none of them were able to help with his reactivity. Best dog trainers in Nashville!

All of the trainers are easy to work with, exceptionally helpful, and great with my dog Charlotte. They are always available to answer any questions that come up, and scheduling appointments is easy and flexible. It is nice that they come to your home and work one-on-one. Highly recommend them for any dog training needs! I will be using them again in the future.

I cannot recommend this place enough! We worked with Parker for our dog’s behavior training, and the transformation has been incredible. Before starting, we were struggling with leash pulling and constant jumping when guests arrived, but Parker’s approach really clicked with our pup. Parker was patient, professional, and took the time to explain the 'why' behind the techniques. Now, our walks are actually enjoyable, and we’ve noticed a huge improvement in overall focus and obedience. It’s such a relief to see our dog so much more calm and well-behaved. If you’re looking for effective results and a trainer who genuinely cares, definitely ask for Parker!

WOW was I impressed with the dog training here! I’ve gone to several others all over Nashville, but I just haven’t seen much progress with my dog’s behavior until one of my close friends from church recommended this place. I own a vizsla and if anyone knows anything about vizslas is that they’re cute but crazy and highly energetic dogs. Going here and training my lovely dog has made him keep the cuteness, but cut out the chaotic behavior. Thanks again this place has saved me so much time and energy. If I ever get another dog the FIRST thing I’ll do is bring them here

I’m so glad that I took my dog Kenji to Dog Training Elite. Kenji as a puppy was very chaotic and would always jump on us and would pull on the leash whenever we’d take him out for runs and walks. He would also chew up all our shoes. But not after taking him here, Kenji has learned to no jump on us or guests and is obedient to our commands on walks. And they have eliminated Kenji’s chewing habits.Highly recommend Dog Training Elite, they are so kind to the dogs and are very professional and friendly.

My experience here with my dog Rocky was unbelievable and necessary! Before his training he was overly excited, unsure how to interact properly with people, barked constantly, and wasn’t potty trained. After his training here all of these issues were fixed! I absolutely recommend to train your dog here with them! Rocky is such a good boy now!

My dog is super friendly but used to be so wild- she would bark all the time, jump up on guest, and always pull at the leash on walks to go say hi to other dogs or people. After putting her through the program here, she has become so much better! She is still so loving but she’s much better about jumping up on people and is much more polite on walks! It’s been a great experience for us through Dog Training Elite!

Dog Training Elite completely changed my dog’s behavior for the better. Before training, my dog struggled with listening, pulling on the leash, and staying calm around other dogs and people. After working with their trainers, the improvement has been insane—in the best way. My dog is more obedient, calmer, more confident, and actually listens to commands now (which I didn’t think was possible 😅). The trainers are super professional, patient, and really know what they’re doing. They don’t just train the dog—they train you too, so you actually understand how to keep the progress going at home. Everything is clear, structured, and tailored to your dog’s personality, not some one-size-fits-all method. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Dog Training Elite is 100% worth it. My dog is happier, I’m less stressed, and our bond is way stronger now. Highly recommend.

Amazing my King Charles doesn’t dart out of the door anymore I just love it!

Excellent communication and knowledge..never rushed .. just wonderful for me and my Shepard .. highly recommend elite trainers!! Been with for six months and we have mastered many commands and go in public and are progressing so well.. so glad I have elite to train me and my Shepard !

I was hesitant about paying for dog training. But now I realize it was the best investment I could make for my dog. He has so much more freedom now that he listens to commands reliably and this was an incredible experience thank you dog training elite!

I am so grateful for Parker at dog training elite. My dog used to bark anytime we stopped petting him, but now he doesn’t bark at us anymore. He is an amazing housemate and I’m so glad that we decided to go with DTE for dog training.
