The Best Nashville Reactive Dog Trainers

Fear and reactivity in dogs can lead to stress and aggression, making daily life difficult for you and your dog. The Dog Training Elite team works to desensitize dogs to their triggers through controlled exposure and consistent training.

Our fearful and reactive dog training in Nashville, TN is customized to meet your dog’s needs, helping them become more relaxed in environments that previously triggered anxiety or aggression. By focusing on gradual exposure and rewarding calm behavior, we help your dog gain the skills they need to handle stress more effectively.

In addition to desensitization, we provide tools and techniques for you to manage your dog’s reactive behavior issues at home. This includes strategies for handling sudden triggers, electronic collar training, and creating a more predictable routine that minimizes anxiety.

    I was looking for training for my puppies! My girls were so energetic and jumpy. Very quickly DTE got my pups down and listening! Their pricing is worth every minute they spent training with them. The results are long lasting and guaranteed! Thanks Parker -

    Absolutely amazing!! The best dog trainers out there. Definitely money well spent. Parker was a pleasure to work with and he makes sure to pay special attention to detail and will leave you feeling confident in your ability to carry on what they teach. My Blaze went from temperamental to obedient and we have been closer than ever! He no longer gets snippy at people and listens well. I would 1000% recommend.

    Dog Training Elite and Parker helped me take my dog from an anxious wreck to an obedient rockstar. I watched him grow in confidence every time he came to our house for a session. I would definitely recommend their dog training services!

    Liam is an excellent trainer! He really helped tailor the lessons to help us better understand and respond to our reactive and sometimes aggressive dog. If you are stressed or frustrated around dog training, highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

    I loved my experience using Dog Training Elite! My dog used to bark, pull, and jump at other dogs in the house and on walks, and now is so well mannered and obedient. The Dog Training Elite program in Nashville is top tier.

    Parker is an amazing dog trainer! My dog never listened or obeyed commands but after some patient and diligent work in Nashville my dog no longer feels like a nuisance to take out in public.

    So glad that we decided to do dog training! My dog used to bark at everyone and jump up on them whenever they came in the house but now he has the best manners! He’s so good to guests and really is so much more obedient! Our experience with Dog Training Elite in Nashville was the best and I’m so glad we did it!

    I’m so grateful that my husband and I decided to train my dog with Parker and Dog training elite Nashville! We would try to take our dog for walks which never went well because he would bark and try to chase after other dogs. After training, he now walks right by our sides and doesn’t try to run away or bark.

    Parker with Dog Training Elite has was amazing for my little guy bolt! He was very loud and unpredictable from a pup, but after working with these guys, he was able to calm down and be more loving. Very obedient and only barks in certain circumstances. Very satisfied with the service and price!

    Our dog Winston grew and learned so so much with DTE!! Winston was a VERY stubborn dog and they truly were a blessing when it came to working with him and giving him the patience he needed with training. We are grateful they worked with not only him but trained us as well on anything ranging from not pulling on walks, taking things out of peoples hands, bolting out the door, etc. They were very accommodating and listened to ALL of our concerns and absolutely everything was addressed very thoroughly. We had looked into dozens of training centers and I am glad we chose DTE! They set you up for success that goes far after the training sessions end. It has been a pleasure to watch Winston grow from a very scared/anxious dog with resource aggression into a dog who is so confident with himself and has so so much obedience and respect for other people/animals space and boundaries.

    We did so much research for dog training, and this team is the absolute BEST!!! So incredibly helpful and flexible, and they gave us the attention, tools, and e-collar training we needed to transform our pup Ida into the best dog in the world. We worked with Liam and Parker the most, and they’re amazing—truly so knowledgeable and patient. Everyone here is so kind and experts at what they do, and their results speak for themselves!!! Thank you!!

    I would definitely recommend this dog training program to anyone. My beagle, Cooper, is a stubborn hound and now he listens to me all of the time and I feel like he is much safer for it. I am so thankful to Parker and his team for delivering such amazing dog training right to my home in the Nashville area.

    Hiring Dog Training Elite has truly been one of the best decisions we have ever made! Both my Pitbull and German Shepard were out of control. They would jump on guests and bark uncontrollably. Now after training it has made the biggest difference! My dogs now walk on a leash nicely and are so good with guests! If you are looking for a dog trainer in Nashville for sure give them a call! Thank you dog training elite.

    It did not know having a well behaved dog was even possible through training! I thought it was just luck if you got a good dog. My dogs used to be out of control. They would bolt out of the front door, counter surf, and dig in the back yard. Now my dogs are so well behaved. They listen on and off leash, are amazing with guests, and know obedience commands really well. Dog training elite are the best dog trainers in Nashville

    We live in Brentwood, and contacted Dog Training Elite for help with our new puppy!! We have grandchildren and needed some help for our puppy to be able to play nicely with kids. Parker and his team were SO helpful and patient answering all of our questions and completely transforming our dog. My dog now stays by my side on walks, plays nicely with the kids (no biting or barking), stays off of our counters and couches. Our experience was 100/10, we couldn’t recommend Parker and his team at Dog Training Elite enough!!
