214 five-star Google reviews from Knoxville-area dog owners. Here are a few.
“Aggression toward other dogs, jumped on anyone who walked in the door, barked at everything. After 6 weeks he is a completely new dog! He actually listens, and is able to walk by other dogs without barking.”
“He was a wreck before they started training. Now he listens, and I can actually take him places without creating a scene.”
“Gracie had been through multiple board & train programs elsewhere, yet was not improving. She is becoming a completely different dog for the better.”
“I took a 3-month-old German Shepherd to training. He did the off-leash program and was already walking off leash in about 2 weeks!”
“Bruno stayed for a three-week program and the difference has been incredible. Jason kept us updated and made sure we understood how to continue at home.”
“I can't say enough about how amazing everyone at The Spot 4 Dogs is. Jason, the owner, always seems to go out of his way to make sure you're taken care of.”
