Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I specialize in aggressive and anxious dogs but also do puppy & basic obedience. I come to your home to train on your schedule. (Yes, I work weekends and evenings!) I also go take you and your dog to parks, stores or the vet office to train -where the issues are. I stay with you till your issues are resolved & you have the dog you want. I show you how to be the pack leader by training YOU . I was trained by Canine Trade Group. I can reach out to John (founder of CTG w/30 years experience in dog training) & the other trainers of CTG, if I get stumped on a hard case. CTG requires me to continue to have training myself. CTG reviews my YELP and Facebook for any client issues. If I am not doing my job correctly they will pull my certification. If you want client references call me or the office for them. I save lives. Dogs with behaviour issues are more likely to be surrendered or euthanized.

If it was not for Beth, I do not know where our family would be or if we would have been able to keep both of our dogs. Our two sweet girls were getting along fine for a few months after adopting one of them as a puppy. All of a sudden, they started getting into it. In a short time, they got into it enough to where we needed immediate help from a trainer. I reached out to several and Music City Training contacted me very quickly. They explained the in home training process and how Beth would first visit to discuss the plan with us. Within a week, she came over to diagnose our issues and draw up a plan. Within another week, we started a series of trainings whereby Beth would come to hour house and train with us and our dogs; everything from basic obedience to getting to the root of the problem. This was all necessary because we learned if our dogs did not listen to us with basic commands, they would not respect or listen to us and keep doing what they wanted, like getting into fights. It was amazing how quickly our girls picked up the commands and how well training progressed. I never knew that my dogs could behave as well as they had started to after a couple of sessions. Of course on our own time, we had to practice with them: sit, stay, come, leave it, leash walking, heeling, and my favorite, the "place" command. This one shocked me most of all. After a couple of months, we were able to re-introduce our dogs to each other to have them interact and the changes were truly impeccable (we previously let them see each other by kept them separated by a doggy gate). In October when this first happened, I was in tears thinking we would have to give one of the dogs up. Around Christmas, we put the dogs together and they have been great ever since (Almost March now). It is amazing that now before going out, they sit by the door until I exit and release them, or when they are about to eat, I put the food in front of them and they look at me for permission before diving into the bowl. I know that my husband and I would have never gotten to this point without Beth and Music City Dog Training. If I had known then what I know now, I would have hired Beth the moment we got each of our two dogs, just for the normal training procedures and commands. It really is never too early to start training and Beth taught us that even very unfavorable behaviors like aggression can be treated (which we were both skeptical about until we saw the end result). As an FYI--both of our dogs had done local pet store basic training, but it really does not even compare to what Beth can offer and the results speak for themselves. I urge anyone who had a dog with any issues or recently adopted a dog without any known behavioral issues (yet) to hire Beth as a trainer. You will not regret it. Another FYI--The trainer trains YOU and the dogs. When she leaves, you have to be consistent and serious about teaching your dog what Beth taught you and the dogs during your lessons. If you are not willing to be trained, your dog won't be either.

Very pleased with the training our Benny received from Beth. She was professional, always on time (early) and considerate. Due to her training and advice, Benny is now socialised and rid of all, well most of them. I do not believe that we would have the well-mannered pet we have today without her guidance.

Driving from Nashville to Centerville she is willing to go the distance for training.Being consistent with commands was a big help.

I hired Beth to help me out with some aggression issues I was having with my dog. Beth gave me the confidence I needed so that I can direct my dog in a way that she no longer is reactive towards people and sounds and we are now able to visit parks and stores and have house company with no issues. I have enjoyed working with Beth and plan on keeping in touch with our progresses! Thank you so much, Beth! ~Maria and Zeta
