MEET KEITH

Hi, I’m Keith!

My love for dogs goes back to childhood when I brought a litter of puppies home and put them in my bathtub, as if my mother wouldn’t find them. I just wanted to take care of them. Fast forward to now I’ve been professionally training dogs since 2004. I worked with private clients in home up until 2008 when I started a dog rescue in Nashville up until 2013. I took a step back from that because of the emotions that come with handling abused, neglected, and rejected dogs that would come through my doors.

In 2013 I started working at a major pet retailer first as a trainer, and then as a mentor training their new dog trainers. Today I am back to training private clients in home to help them have the healthiest and happiest relationship with their dogs. With me you will have an experienced trainer of over 20 years who can help you and your dog through basic training up to more advanced training, including CGC. I would be lucky to work with you and your dog.

METHODS AND SERVICES

I use scientifically backed positive reinforcement dog training techniques. It’s the proven way to have the happiest and healthiest relationship with your dog where everyone has fun. I DO NOT use any type of pain infliction including shock collars, prong collars, choke chains, or any other barbaric tools. I also don’t use any force to get the dog to do what I need it to do. Dogs shut down when in pain or fear and you lose all trust between you two. That’s why I use fun and safe methods to help you train your dog.

The services I offer are all in home training with you present. I train you to train your dog.

  • Basic obedience
  • Intermediate training
  • Problem behaviors
  • Anxiety
  • Socialization
  • Low level aggression
  • Adopted dog integration
  • Puppy behavior
  • Senior dog behavior
  • CGC training and testing
  • And so much more

Once I begin training your dog you also get lifetime access to me for the life of your dog. That way if any behavioral problems arise, need reminders, or if necessary talking about additional training options.

*All prices are by need of the dog and pet parent. Fees will be discussed during your initial phone call or text chat. That is followed up by a consult in the home where I meet you and your dog and set a game plan.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Presley & Hayden
Bonnie

We have been SO pleased with Keith’s in home professional dog training the past 6 weeks with our (now) 6 month old golden retriever. Keith is very thorough with his training process. We quickly learned training is 75% of the human’s responsibility to remain through and consistent with your pup during the training process. He was able to guide us through our questions of exactly how we should approach positive reinforcement and it has been very successful. I would recommend his services to anyone who has a loving companion, over and over again! We constantly get compliments on how well-behaved and attentive our little girl, Bonnie is. We are very thankful for Keith’s professionalism.

Gypsy

Our time with Keith flew by, but it was all for fun. Our Gypsy learned so much during our 6 weeks of training. It was well worth the time and money to get Gypsy where we knew she would be. We are a complete family now.

Louise

Even though Louise is older, Keith let us know there was still much that he could learn and keep him active in his old age. He brought a gentle touch that was fun and the things we saw Louise learn during the time we were with Keith has a flame reignited in us and Louise. We can’t recommend him enough.
