Testimonials

Here's what our customers have to say:
"I did the two week b/t for my two pups and I was shocked with the results! Lee, was able to get my stubborn and sassy dachshund to actually listen and understand all different commands and was able to get my german shepherd pup tamed and focused. Lee, also did a great job at keeping me updated on their progress as well as his communication with me before, during their stay and after with run down lesson I was given at pickup. He answered all questions I had and I wasn’t left worrying. He treated my dogs as if they were his own during their stay and I cannot say enough good things about this place or him. Would recommend over and over!"

"Highly recommend the 3 or 4 week program for any dog with high drive, aggression or a lot of energy. A few places we checked with before finding TNVK9 were hesitant to accept a dog showing aggression toward other animals. Lee said “no worries” and was invested in our 7 month old GSD like he was his own. He takes a personal approach with compassion for both the owners and the animal. He won’t leave you hanging if your pet requires extra work or special treatment. He was able to help us customize a plan to redirect the extreme drive of our pup to help him grow into a more obedient dog. Now we have set boundaries and a range of commands to help our dog understand the behavior we expect. -- Jackie & Rickey"

"Lee is an amazing dog trainer. I took my golden retriever to him after we adopted him. He had some behavioral issues as he had been a stray for a while before he was taken to the pound and we rescued him. Lee turned my sweet boy into an amazing walking companion! Highly recommend!"
— Laura Vance
"Lee at Tennessee Valley K-9 has been a true God send. I adopted an adult rescue dog and he had some behavior problems. Lee worked with Rugby and also helped me learn how to handle him once he came home! Lee is truly amazing!"

"We tried bark collars, and dog training books, then we met Lee. He is so calm and patient. He has transformed our pup. The results are unbelievable. We are completely satisfied with Lee's training methods."

"I called Lee after trying several trainers. My lab was a monster on the leash and jumped on guests. After my first lesson with Lee, I feel like I have a new dog. Lee taught me how to be the leader of my dog without harsh punishments. The methods are simple. I have implemented his training techniques every day and my dog is awesome to be around."
— Jon
"Lee is an excellent Dog Trainer. He obedience trained a German Shepherd for me. The transformation was amazing. I have also seen firsthand several of the dogs he has taken in over the last two years. Lee is totally amazing with the dogs he takes in."

"Lee is one of the only trainers I trust to treat my dogs to the same standard I would. He really cares about every animal that he lets come through his doors. His facilities are well looked after and allow plenty of safe space for high energy dogs to get their wiggles out."
— Stockton Webb
"Lee is a real dog whisperer and such a nice guy. He was so patient with us when we were struggling with our pup’s adolescence. I really admire and appreciate his ability to personalize the training, in a way that not only the dog, but the owner understands as well. Lee naturally and instinctively goes out of his way to make every dog and person comfortable, safe and happy. We were so sad when we had to move away but he is still so accommodating and helps us out over the phone whenever we need. Cannot thank you enough, Lee!"
— Emily Coleman
"Tennessee Valley K9 was amazing! I sent my one year old Aussie doodle to train with Lee. When I received him three weeks later he was a different dog. Coming from Nashville the price was worth the drive, not to mention the attention to detail that Lee provides (receiving photos and videos of my pup learning!). I would highly recommend using Tennessee Valley K9 for your dog training needs.."
— Tasha Combs
"Working with Lee was great! He communicated with me about my dog’s progress throughout the entire time. Savannah had a great time and came back at such a great place in her development. Worth the drive from Nashville!"

"Lee was excellent and very explanatory. He had our dog for 4 weeks and we got daily updates with videos of her training and her progress. When we picked her up Lee gave us thorough instructions on maintaining the training and offered himself in the form of 24/7 customer support in case we have an issue. 10/10 recommend."

"Sarge and Phantom are golden retriever/lab puppy siblings, and were hard to handle, they jumped up, chewed on the wrong things, peed in the house, wouldnt listen, hard to walk, etc. Now, after training with Lee at Tennessee Valley K9, they are 100% good boys! They know how to heel, come when called, sit/stay, place, lay down, and they listen! Its just a difference of night and day, and now we have a happier house! This couldn't have happened without the help of Tennessee Valley K9! Lee did such an awesome job! All this in two weeks! I didn't think it was possible, I wanted to give up, my house was a wreck and I just couldn't take it anymore! Now, they behave, sit in place, and I can walk into the other room, and they stay put! It's fricken amazing! I have my house back and so happy! And my hubby always reminds me how I hate puppies, but not anymore! I mean wow, so impressed! Thanks again Lee!"

"Lee is the best Dog Trainer of all time. He obedience trained my German Shepherd and I can see a huge difference from when I dropped my puppy off. If I could rate my experience with more than 5 stars I definitely would, he did an outstanding job! He was very nice, informative, and kept me up to date on how the training was going with pictures and videos."
