Mid TN dog trainers?

[56FordGuy]

With the addition of a new dog to the family, I'm thinking about finding a professional trainer to work with. The dog is about a year old, I want to work on basic obedience and getting the dogs I already had to welcome him into the group. Ideally do a session or two at the trainer's location, then one or two at my house with the rest of the dogs. 

 

I know that a handful of training sessions won't make him the perfect dog, but it would give me a better starting point and hopefully make it a quicker process that's less stressful for me and the dogs.  :rofl:

 

Google turns up quite a few trainers around Nashville, hoping someone can point me toward one or two that they've dealt with personally.

When I got my heeler pup from the shelter about a year ago, I took her to training classes at the PetSmart in Spring Hill. The trainer there is Robert. He used to train home protection dogs for families of deployed service members, if I understood him correctly. He did great job. You might give him a call....
