Looking for trainer in Murfreesboro, TN

Joseg · 06-05-2011, 01:01 PM

I have a 26 mos old that I would like to get some basic obedience training for. And mostly to help me with dealing with small dog distractions. So training for both of us.

thanks.

There's an obedience training club in M'Boro- it's a non-profit AKC club, offers lots of training, seminars, etc. It's called MOTC, you can see the info on www.murfreesborodogtraining.org/club. I belong to our local club in TX and it's great- low cost, lots of classes and training. Hope this helps!

thanks I will give them a call.. Might start off with Petsmart and see how that goes..

Let them know ahead that there are small dog issues, because a lot of the training classes I've seen there (a friend went with their little dog and they did amazing) have a lot of little dogs.

Sue on this board would probably know of anyone in that area who might be able to help. What is her screen name though - mind - blank. I also don't know TN geography just know that I called your shelter one time about a GSD to pull for rescue and they had gotten 34 owner surrenders that morning.

So glad you are doing training!

The big difference is that with a club there's usually a large outdoor area for dogs to run, play and interact unlike a Petsmart that has a limited area and dogs have to be kept on leash.

I'm going to be honest, the previous owner did a really good job with Max. Sucks that he
had to give him up. Max, has really surprised me and a few neighbors and friends with dogs.

I had to rewrite what I wanted to say, Max, is a good dog and I'm actually happy that I was able to provide him a good home, instead of the previous owner surrendering him to the shelter. So training would be worth it and definitely beneficial for him and us.

Jean is thinking of these trainers for you to contact:
von Tajgetosz German Shepherds - German Shepherd Breeders Nashville, TN

Not sure if that is in your area, but if they are not, they'll know where to send you (and who to avoid).

Sue is a member here, her screen name is Smithie86

I think they are often out of the country, so might need to be a little patient if they can't get back to you right away.

THANK YOU!

And thanks for taking your boy in - that shelter tries very hard - but much better for him to be in a home with his own people!

No, am here :-). Just got back from the WUSV USA team selection trial.

There is a trainer in the area (Murf is about an hour south). There is also a club that meets part time in that area and part time in Leiper's Fork.

Trainer is Sheri Trudrung - only trainer in that area (South of Nashville) that we recommend.

Email me and will get you in touch.
