Off Leash K9 Training is part of the highest-rated dog training business in the United States. With over 130 locations, we are the fastest-growing and most trusted dog training company in the world. We’re proud to bring that same standard of excellence to the Nashville community.
Being part of a national network gives us access to a wealth of knowledge, but our focus is 100% local. We are your Nashville dog training experts. We understand the unique environment our clients and their dogs face, from navigating the bustling sidewalks of The Gulch to enjoying off-leash freedom at Shelby Bottoms Greenway. Our trainers live and work here, providing tailored solutions for dog owners in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, and the surrounding Tennessee communities. You get the best of both worlds: world-class training standards delivered with a friendly, local touch that’s committed to your success.
A Partnership, Not Just a Leash
Our specialization is teaching you to understand *why* your dog does the things they do. By focusing on private lessons and behavior consultations, we help create a powerful, trusting bond between you and your dog. This is the key to achieving true freedom from the leash, not just temporary compliance.
This partnership is built on a foundation of clear communication. We utilize a balanced training approach, which includes leveraging the same learning theories used by top animal trainers worldwide. Our methodology often incorporates low-level, communication-style e-collar training. It's crucial to understand that this is not about punishment. The e-collar is used to provide a gentle, silent cue—like a tap on the shoulder—to get your dog's attention, even from a distance and amidst major distractions. This allows us to create a reliable line of communication that is clearer and more effective than a leash, empowering your dog to make the right choices and solidifying your role as a trusted leader. This fosters a relationship where your dog looks to you for guidance, not out of fear, but out of respect and understanding.
The 100% Off-Leash Guarantee
Our system is proven to work for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. Our guarantee is bold because our system is refined. It's not a hopeful promise; it's a predictable outcome based on a training curriculum that has been successfully implemented with thousands of dogs across the country, from high-energy Labradors to sensitive rescue breeds. At the end of our program, we guarantee you will have a pup that is:
- ✅ 100% Obedient
- ✅ 100% Off-Leash
- ✅ 100% Distraction-Proof
This level of control addresses a wide spectrum of common and complex behavioral issues. Does your dog pull you down the street, jump on guests, bark incessantly, or ignore you at the park? Our program is designed to resolve these frustrations. We also have extensive experience with more severe challenges such as leash reactivity, resource guarding, and separation anxiety. The principles that create a distraction-proof, off-leash dog are the same ones that build confidence and create a calmer, happier state of mind for your pet.
This is the same level of reliability and focus expected from police and military working dogs, adapted for your household pet.

Whether you are starting with a new puppy in need of foundational skills or seeking to resolve long-standing behavioral issues in an adult dog, our programs are customized to meet your specific goals.
