Suburban K9 is Franklin, Tennessee's premier dog training company. Our trainers will work with you to develop an obedience program that is right for you and your dog. We offer in-home training and a boot camp program. Let Suburban K9 help you and your dog live together happily!
House Calls are private dog training sessions that take place in the comfort of your home or a setting of your choice. Unlike group classes, you will get one-on-one training advice from our professional dog trainers. Each session is customized to work on things that you want. We also offer single lessons or discounted house call packages. These packages are great for teaching obedience commands, working on specific issues, or anything else you might want to train your dog. We have availability for In-Home sessions in Franklin and would love to work with you!
While many customers choose House calls, our most popular option in Franklin is our Dog Boot Camp or Board and Train program. During the Board and Train, your dog will stay in a trainer's home and be treated like a member of the family. The board and train is a comprehensive program that will teach your dog all of their basic obedience commands including; heel, sit, down, stay, and come. The Board and Train can also address other goals you may have, such as counter surfing or chewing! With each Board and Train, we offer pick-up, drop-off, and follow-up lessons in the comfort of your own home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We believe in Balanced Dog Training. This means that we teach with praise and or rewards to ensure the dog knows right from wrong. After the dog has learned their commands we phase in gentle corrections as needed to make sure the dog understands there are consequences if they choose to disobey. Many of our clients say that this is a very similar approach to how they raise their children!
Our two main dog training options are in home training and our board and train/dog boot camp program. Our board and train/boot camp takes place in the home of one of our local dog trainers and the in-home training takes place in your home. This are both great options and our customer service team can help you decide which route is best for your dog!
Absolutely! We generally recommend our in-home dog training for when serious aggression or fear issues are involved. This allows us to train in the home as well as the neighborhood or other local places. We take dogs to Harlinsdale Farm, Pinkerton Park, Berry Farms and Downtown Franklin all the time in order to advance their training and socialization skills.
We can definitely help you potty train your stubborn puppy! We give clients our in house potty log and then help them use the results to build a custom potty training schedule. You need to know when to let your puppy out so they don’t have an accident. This helps identify problem times/locations are and when they “owe you one” and need to be watched extra closely. If you follow our advice, potty training your dog will go very smoothly!
We have been in business since 2006. Suburban K9’s founder moved to Franklin in 2020 and has been part of our local dog training team since that time. All of our dog trainers are experts and are dedicated to your dog having the best life possible. All of our team members are W-2 employees and have health, vision and dental insurance plus 401ks. This is much different than the companies that hire temporary independent contractors to work for them.
We service the entire Nashville metro area. Some of our trainers call Franklin, TN home and service only Williamson County. They generally spend part of their day farther west in Westhaven and Leipers Fork and then head to the east side of Franklin and down to the Berry Farms area for appointments. We have other trainers located farther north that service Nashville and the northern suburbs. We also have a trainer near Murfreesboro that services the far east side of the metro area.
Of course! We can teach basic dog obedience commands to any age dog to ensure they understand all of their commands. Once we master basic obedience we move on to advanced obedience training. This includes off leash come, off leash heel, the finish command and being able to listen to all obedience commands from any distance.
We believe in private dog training rather than group dog training. The reason is that training needs to be tailored to your individual dog. We often see that in group training classes a few common issues come up a lot. If your dog is a little newer to training they are often pushed too hard in order to catch up to the group. On the flip side, if your dog is fairly advanced they will probably be bored and held back. Also, most of our clients have specific goals that are hard to meet in class. Do you want your dog to stop jumping on guests, be better when you eat dinner, or stop barking out the window? If so, In Home Dog Training is the way to go!
