Music City Dog Training Reviews

Kale Lawson 2025.11.16

     

Music City Dog Training has been absolutely top notch! We have been fortunate enough to work with Grace and we absolutely recommend her as her style is very much what we have been looking for for some time. Many places/trainers focus on negative correction but Grace does positive reinforcement with treats and praise/excitement. Noticeable improvement within weeks. You can tell she thoroughly enjoys/loves dogs and that was super important to us! Please give them a try, you will not be disappointed!

We feel so lucky to have Grace in our lives! If you’re looking for a trainer who’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but full of heart, Grace is the one!! She’s made such a difference for us and our pup. She’s been with us since we first brought our dog home, and she’s been the most calm, patient, and supportive guide every step of the way. She never made us feel silly for any of our new dog parent questions. Everything we brought up was met with care, validation, and genuinely helpful advice. She truly cares. She’s a joy to be around, endlessly encouraging, and always reminds us how far our dog has come. Since she’s been there from the beginning, she sees the full picture and helps us celebrate every bit of progress. I always know I can come to her with any new questions or concerns, and she’s right there with support and insight. I’m endlessly thankful for Grace and so is our pup!!

Grace has been an incredible help with our dogs. I'd been struggling for over a year to get my pittie to walk in a way that would not pull my shoulder out of its socket (she's an excited girl, what can I say?) and even within the first session I saw huge improvement. Grace also helped provide valuable insights into our dogs' behavior and I understand them much better now and we're all way happier.

Our experience so far has been wonderful with Grace & Music City Dog Training. After the first full lesson our boy was already reacting and acting differently, and Grace was able to train us to help him daily to keep the training going throughout the week. We are extremely grateful for her knowledge and patience, and look forward to our additional lessons with her.

Wonderful experience for my dog and for me! Grace has worked wonders with my dog, Pepper! However, it would more accurate for me to say that she has worked wonders with me. Pepper has been an anxious, nervous little guy since he was a pup resulting in his being over-protective of me and aggressive with people and other dogs on his walks. A few changes in my behavior and few new skills for him and he is so much calmer and better behaved. I know we both will continue to improve as we practice. Most highly and enthusiastically recommended!

Grace has been fantastic! She’s very flexible with scheduling, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. She’s been able to help us with both dogs despite them having different personalities and training needs.

Grace was amazing!!! We have a one year old white lab who is full of energy and WAS quite a menace!. She was extremely knowledgeable on helping us get him on track to become the well behaved dog who will actually follow our commands now. Highly recommended!!

I have had one intro meeting and one training session with Grace and I find her knowledgable, thoughtful, kind to me and my dog, and good at explaining techniques. I am confident we will achieve the goals we have set for my reactive dog.

Re-training for spoiled pets! Grace is a great trainer and top-notch professional! She provided excellent tips on how to correct some of our spoiled pooches' bad behavior, and great methods to replace naughty habits with good ones to keep them on the right path!

Grace is amazing. We have 2 small dogs who were having several behavior issues. She gave us tools that let us work at our pace, redo as needed after life changes, and tremendously improve our home life. Grace obviously loves and understands dogs, and our boys are so much happier and well-behaved after this training. Grace also is very personable and easy to work with on scheduling and rescheduling. She gets our highest recommendation. Thank you, Grace!!

Grace has been wonderful for our dog and our family. She is patient, understanding, and gives you clear directions without judgement. We have a small dog that has resource guarding issues, including biting, and Grace has helped us to manage the issues, starting with some basics. We love the setup of the price of Music City Dog Training and the trainer coming to our home with no hidden costs. We have done training before at a facility and there are huge benefits for the training process to have the trainer in your home to see what will work for you. Grace has also been available via phone or email when any questions come up. Highly recommend Music City Dog Training and Grace in particular.

Michelle 2023.08.06

     

Our Trainer Grace met with us and listened to the issue we were having with our 3 year old doodle and made an excellent diagnosis of potential causes. After considering our dog's behavior, she made a list of several concrete actions we could take to get our dog back on the right track. Immediately, when we applied Grace's thoughtful approach, we saw a welcome improvement in pup's behavior! And, she followed up with us to see if the improvement continued. We would strongly recommend Music City Dog Training and Trainer Grace!
