Chris is fantastic! He is so professional and spot on his training of dogs. He understands their different personalities and structures his training to meet their needs. Today we passed with our Bouvier pup! I thank him so much for his great training! More...

Working with Chris has been amazing! I started my puppy Frankie in puppy class and that was a life saver. Chris went over crate training and helped set Frankie and I up for success. We then completed K9 training and WOW! Between leash working, commands, and everything in between, Chris helped he cover all of my bases with training. Reading a training book was nothing compared to having Chris by my side while training. After a couple of weeks, people were asking me on walks where I was getting Frankie trained because he was so well behaved. One of the best things about working with Chris is how much he cares for the dogs he trains. Frankie LOVED training day and was always so happy to greet Chris at the door. It was also nice to have piece of mind knowing Chris was a phone call or text away if I was struggling with a part of the training for that week. He can talk you through the frustration when your puppy decides not to listen (and it definitely happens!). Chris takes to heart "because a well trained dog is a happy dog," and I would add a well trained dog is a happy human! I am immensely happy with my decision to choose Music City K9 Training and would always recommend Chris in the future! More...

My dog is a rescue, and had severe anxiety mixed with protective aggression towards humans. After Chris' classes, he is a totally new dog; he obeys commands right away and listens to me when he starts to act aggressive. So much less stress now that I know he won't act up on walks. Thanks Chris! More...

Chris at Music City K9 Training is amazing! I just recently adopted our sweet girl Luna and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. she has seperation anxiety and hates the kennel. I reached out to inquire about the training classes and just giving some details about Luna, he gave me so much feedback regarding ways I could help her. I didnt pay a dime to get the help, which showed me that he loves and cares about what he does and isnt just in it for the money. I decided to take Luna through the classes and it was the best thing ever! Now she does so well with her kennel, she lays in her kennel in the morning without me having to force her in it. She no longer yelps and cries in the kennel. Everything about her has improved by going through these classes. I highly recommend these classes and I thank you Chris for working with me and never giving up on Luna and I! More...

My pomeraranian is really spoiled and a diva. My biggest concern is her running to cars and trying to intimidate people passing by and worst, kids that just wants to pet her. While doing the class,and the help of Chris, we are able to break that habit and I am able to walk my pom now with peace of mind. More...

Our experience was a great one. It was mainly for my wife who has never had a dog before. I wanted her to see a trainer reinforce the need to consistently train our dog and how to interact with our dog. Chris did a wonderful job with her and our dog. He gave homework and that was a key for my wife's personality. More...

Chris is the real deal! He was awesome helping us with our new rescue pup. She had a pretty rough start to life and was anxious and stressed out. She was aggressive towards all dogs and barked nonstop at other people. Now she sits and stays when the door bell rings instead of scaring every person to come to our door. It’s incredible! With just a couple training sessions she’s like a brand new dog! I definitely recommend Chris to everyone! More...

Chris did a great job with our very stubborn dog. Before Music City K9 Training he was horrible on leash, and didn't listen to any commands. Now he is great on walks, and has come a long way on his manners! Chris was great to work and we really appreciate all that he did for us! Thanks Chris! More...

My 9 month old German Shepherd was in dire need of manners when I found Music City K9 Training. Chris was great with my pup and taught me several techniques that I use daily. We can finally enjoy walks around our neighborhood! I would highly recommend Music City K9 Training. More...

Chris is a very knowledgeable dog trainer! He did a great job with our younger dog and such a patient trainer. Not only did he train Martini but trained me to know what to do. Thanks Chris!

Chris has a natural ability to get you and your dog to come together through great technique and patience. His guidance during class and during the off days went above and beyond what I could have imagined. He truly loves what he does, and really has a niche to knowing each pups individual needs. Since taking Lady Bird to Music City K9 Training, we have bonded so much more through the bounds of respect and understanding. I would do it again a hundred times!! So affordable and worth it!

Chris was wonderful with our rescue dog Otis. He has taught Otis to do many tricks and the Day to Day training program was a godsend with our busy schedules. Otis is a much calmer dog now. Thank You!!! Michelle & Otis! More...

Chris was awesome with our dog, Cash. He gave us multiple easily manageable tips for how to flip the switch with our dog that we were in charge. Cash picked up the training in just one day (with consistent practice) and we have noticed behavior changes in him that were a problem. I tried to get multiple trainers to speak with me to no avail. Chris was there for us and took the time to help us out. I would highly recommend him. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Solving people's K9 behavioral problems and thus preventing another dog from being taken to a shelter. Giving the dogs owner the relief of the grief the dog may be causing and also the guilt of giving up. Thousands of dogs are put down every year. Some because they were viscous and some we're sick and needed to be put down but MOST cases the #1 reason people surrender their animals is lack of training. So it makes me very happy to be a part of the solution! And the smiles on people's faces and appreciation go a long way too!
What inspired you to start your own business?
