Hiring a personal dog trainer ensures that your dog gets sufficient attention and praise for their positive behaviors.
When you want your dog to learn better behaviors or change some of their existing behaviors, training is the best course of action. But figuring out how to train your dog and what they need to thrive can be challenging. Dog owners in Knoxville, Tennessee can turn to us at Sublime K9 Training & Boarding to get the training services they need to help their dogs become more well-behaved. We’re one of only a few local trainers that offer a personal dog training experience.
Our company’s owner has years of experience in the dog training industry and is certified through the Animal Behavior College. She has created unique programs that cater to the needs of each individual dog and their owner. You can choose from one-on-one dog training lessons, in-home dog training lessons, or our board and train programs, depending on where your pup seems to feel more comfortable.
So impressed.
“I cannot say enough good things about Sublime K9 Training & Boarding – and specifically Megan and Kayla. Kayla was easy to communicate with and did a couple of lessons for my first dog who went through training. Megan did 3-week board and trains for my other two dogs at separate times. After my wild child puppy came back home with manners and listening ears, I knew I wanted Megan to train my final pup. I have been so impressed with what they have learned – and so happy to be able to maintain some order with three high-energy Australian Shepherds. I have recommended Sublime K9 to so many people after sending my dogs through their programs.”

Want to give a "shout out" to Sublime K-9 and Rocket's awesome teacher - Melissa (now Aunt Melissa)! Rocket is a pleaser, but like other young pups he needed some continuous training to work on staying, placing, heeling, and leaving it! Melissa definitely knows her stuff - a professional trainer indeed! After only a couple days she was sending videos of him "placing" and staying focused on her every command. She constantly communicated with us - text, videos, pics, and calls. To be able to take Rocket on long walks off leash - listening to commands, taking him along on outings and even having family/friends over w/o him jumping out of control - is totally worth the investment. Four-paws up and a 5-star rating for Sublime & Aunt Melissa!

I sent my German Shepard puppy to a two week board and train with Melissa and she did a phenomenal job with him! I can’t say enough about how wonder she is.I also board my dogs with Sublime and I always know they will be well taken care of and treated like one of their own.I highly recommended the Sublime K9 team!!

We highly recommend Sublime K-9! We have had training sessions and daycare with Sublime K-9 and we love it there! Our dog gets so excited when she gets there and everyone is always so friendly and helpful. They often have fun activities for the dogs too. There are so many options for training and I know it has made a world of difference with our dog. When we are out in public we get compliments all of the time about how well behaved our dog is and I always tell them about her training.

Sublime has trained two of my dogs. They're wonderful. I recently had one do a puppy headstart. Nichole was good about keeping me updated on her progress. I love that they get to do the doggy daycare while they're training.

Our dog was a very reactive and scared of anything new. She is still scared but now she doesn’t bark and go crazy. We, including myself, have learned how to handle it and stay calm! And the “place stays” have been a game changer! My 6 yo can walk our 60lb dog and not get pulled down every time she tries! I could go on and on! We did put it off for awhile and looking back I wish we would have done it sooner! Everyone there is very nice and full of answers! Thanks so much Kayla and Nichole for working with us!! We would highly recommend!!

I give my highest recommendations to Sublime K9 Training for how well they trained my dog. My strong-willed dog is now extremely obedient, thrives under structure, and knows when and how to settle down. After struggling to train him on my own I was unsure if anyone would be able to train him, but after 3 weeks with this amazing team he knows how to follow command and I know how to work with him better. It has been a blessing to have brought him there!

We put our dog through puppy training and the on and off leash day training programs. It has made such a difference in a pup. He started out as a timid, shy pup and they turned him into a confident dog. We can take him off leash to the lake and parks where he can run free and he immediately comes back when called- even when there are distractions. He still gets super excited (typical lab), but he can work through that and follow his commands. Be able to eat in peace while you dog does a long place stay has made dinner time enjoyable and impressed everyone that comes over to visit. Also highly recommend their daycare- only daycare we have found that practices their training while allowing them to play and burn off energy.

I can't begin to express how happy we are with the training that Kayla provided to our pup, Tank. He spent 4 weeks with her for board/train and came home a new dog. We had never done this type of training and didn't really know what to expect but I will say (now) that I wish I had done it with our previous dogs. What a fantastic difference it makes! Thank you so much, Kayla!

Sent our two Dobies for the 4 week board and train, and will definitely do it in the future with any new pups we get. Our pups were boarded and trained with Lauren and Michael, and they were amazing. We got daily updates with videos, showing how they were doing and what they had been working on. They also answered any questions we’ve had along the way, even after pickup. Will definitely board with them again in the future. Thank you again Lauren and Michael!

I just want to let everyone know that taking the dogs to Sublime K9 was the best decision we have ever made. Lauren took us through all of the training we needed to be good owners, and our dogs have shown so much improvement. If anyone needs to train, board or daycare for their dogs, Sublime is the way to go.

My wife and I started our little Yorkie mix, Ellie, in puppy head start last fall. The lessons were very helpful and gave Ellie a good foundation of basic commands. Unfortunately she suffered from separation anxiety and had to be medicated in order to tolerate being alone for any length of time. This generated a lot of stress for us as well, feeling unable to do many day to day tasks. She just graduated the 3 Week Board and Train with Lauren and she is so much more confident and has even better manners/obedience. Lauren made the 3 weeks without our sidekick easier, sending thorough daily updates so we could see Ellie's progress. Lauren is great to work with, and we could tell that she gives each dog individual attention and plenty of love while under her care. Ellie's anxiety is now much lower, and she no longer freaks out when she can't see or be right with me or my wife. Medication used to be a daily necessity, but it hasn't been needed since the day we took Ellie to Lauren. We can't recommend Sublime K9 - and especially Lauren - enough.

I took my little mini poodle Ella Kate to Sublime for her basic puppy training...she is a super smart girl and I had worked with her from 8 weeks old and she knew most of the basics .the trainers here really worked so well with her in firming up her commands. Every class I went thinking this one will be a challenge (especially Heel since she was such a puller)...5 weeks of classes and Ella Kate and I both learned so much.She is a joy to walk now and loose leash walks with ease. Thanks to all the trainers for their dedication. We trained with Megan, Lauren and our last 3 classes with Ashlynn.. Highly recommend all of them as they are amazing

We sent our puppy Ford to Lauren for some puppy training and we could not be more pleased! He learned to ring the bell when we wants to go outside, plus so much more, such as sit, place, lay, stay and walk with a leash. All of this was done in one week! Lauren showed us how to work with Ford to build upon what he has learned and made sure we were comfortable giving him the commands he learned.Lauren is very knowledgeable and always took the time to answer our questions. She truly loves dogs and has a special bond with them.

I am so happy I chose to place my trust with sublime k9 and their trainer Lauren! Astrid is literally the furry form of myself/my best friend. I have 2 very active kids in sports. Dealing with issues that happened between Astrid and another dog made it difficult to take her most places. With the help of Lauren and Kayla, I was able to talk and get a response within mins of my msgs. They made me feel comfortable with the decision to leave my fur baby in their hands. When I picked her up, Astrid was still her quirky/wiggle butt self but instead she was more mindful of her manners and had the basis on what to do in stressful situations!! I would rate more stars if Google allowed me bc they are awesome! And Lauren always went the extra mile for my Astrid!! I will definitely be taking other pets to them in the future and spread word of how great they are. You will not be disappointed!

Just wanted to say that Ashlynn has done an AMAZING job working with Ghost. He no longer is chasing the cats around the house 500 times a day, he is much more well behaved. When our 3 yo is eating and we put Ghost on place he stays there the entire time despite the activity going on in the house. He is completely distraction proof, to the point that when I tell him to stay, I can throw his favorite toy towards him and past him and he doesn’t move until I give him the command to break. The training was well worth the money spent!!!! Highly recommend Sublime K9 to all the people I know and have shown them the videos of the accomplishments Ghost has achieved.Before he came to Sublime for the second time I was honestly thinking I was gonna have to find him another home due to the issues he was causing and the kennel aggression he had and that broke my heart but you guys made it possible for him to continue to stay with us and I am grateful for that!!

Our sweet Lola had some past trauma that I was worried was causing some behavior issues. Lauren was quick to train ME and teach us the tools Lola needed to become successful. She gave us the tools and resources to help Lola become a happier pup, teaching us ways to manage her quirks and give her freedom and peace at the same time. Not all pups are the same and she taught us how to manage this odd little golden girl of ours! Thanks Lauren!

My daughter decided to surprise our family with a mini wire haired dachshund. We weren’t exactly prepared for a new puppy and we were having a terrible time house training her. We contacted Sublime K9 and after talking with Megan we decided to send Phoebe to a week of puppy school. She learned to sit, come, stay and potty outside 🙌🏼. We are so happy with all the progress Phoebe has made thanks to Megan and Sublime K9!

Awesome place to take your puppy. All the trainers are very knowledgeable and patient. I like that they can help you manage any issues at home with your puppy. Our puppy lessons have been very important with our 6 year old son. We have all learned and our puppy is much happier and obedient!

Bodhi graduated from behavior classes today! We worked with Megan and loved every class. She is very knowledgeable. The help we received from her is priceless. I would recommend Sublime k9 to anyone.

Ashlynn was our trainer for our two 8 month old Bichon Frise brother and sister. We did a two week Board and Train program. Ashlynn was extremely professional, courteous and from day one put us at ease keeping our babies in her care. We are AMAZED at the results she was able to achieve in only two weeks! Highly highly recommend! This has changed all our lives for the better. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Before Sublime training, our 2-year-old rescue lab, Dawson, had no idea how to listen to us. He hadn't been socialized, and he had no concept of communication. Everything we tried failed. We were overwhelmed.Everyone who knew him before training couldn’t believe he was the same dog when they saw him again after. His trainer, Lauren, changed his life. We never dreamed she could accomplish all she did for him in just 3 weeks. Now he goes with us to farmer’s markets, festivals, pet-friendly stores, and friends and family’s homes.Anytime we hit a stumbling block, we can text Lauren. She’s always there to help us work through it! While Dawson was with her, she gave us daily updates with photos and videos. She helped him learn more than his basic commands; she also took the time to help him gain confidence with walking up and down stairs and jumping into vehicles, for example. Dawson’s new sister, Charlotte, will soon be spending her 3 weeks at “school” as well!I frequently recommend Sublime to friends, family, and anyone looking for a place they can trust with their fur baby’s future. This is the best investment you can make for your dog’s life, and you won’t regret the difference it will make in your own, either!

I did a 2 week board and train with my 7 month old puppy. Lauren did an amazing job with him! He came back knowing more than I anticipated. She would also text me a daily picture/video along with an update on what they had worked on that day. When my husband and I went to pick our dog up, Lauren took time to walk us through each command that he had learned and let us practice them as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a great and affordable training program for their dog!

I contacted this company when I was getting ready to purchase my Standard Poodle, Franklin. They explained the program thoroughly. Franklin was sent for puppy head start early on, and literally was housebroken at that time! Leaned to use bells to go out, and never had another accident in the house! He went back at 6 months of age for a full 4 week board and train. Kayla did an amazing job with him! He is so easy to maintain and manage now! So well behaved! I couldn’t be happier with their service! And Franklin loved it there at her house... he will be back for boarding from time to time I’m sure!

I took my 4 month old Collie to Kayla, and she did an amazing job establishing a great foundation for her. She not only learned the basics during her 1 week old boarding, but also came back more patient, eager to please, and loves to learn! Leash walking was becoming more and more difficult and frustrating by the day, and now it is like walking a completely different puppy! We will definitely be back for adult lessons some day, and will be recommending Sublime K9 to all our friends with dogs!

I️ highly recommend Sublime K9 Training. Lauren did great with Moose and has made him so much easier to manage now, both on and off leash. She was very thorough and explained everything along the way so we were able to continue his training at home! I️ will definitely be using them in the future for any training or boarding needs we may have. Thank you Lauren!

Lauren is a miracle worker! Our English Shepherd, Jake, is so lovable but had some really bad habits and at almost 16 months old, we were afraid he would have them forever. After the three week board and train program with Lauren, he is back home with us and we are learning the " new and improved" Jake. His bad habits are gone and the more we reinforce his training, the better his behavior. Thank You Sublime K9 we couldn't t be happier that we trusted you with our precious Jake!

My German Shepherd, Odin, is massive and was very reactive to new dogs. He completed the 2 week board and train program with Kayla and is a completely different dog!! We can take him out to store without the fear of him not listening or pulling me on the leash. The training is above and beyond my expectations. When we take Odin out we get several compliments about how well behaved he is! We are sooo pleased with Kayla’s training!! It makes me so excited to take Odin out in public!

We took our 11 month old German Shepherd (working line) to Sublime K9 for the two week board and training. We dropped off a puppy that was so full of energy that she couldn’t pay attention. She liked to nip at my daughter, not listen to my wife, jump on everyone she saw and would not jump into any of our vehicles. We told Kayla about those problems in our consultation.After the two weeks were up we ( myself, my wife, and my daughter) went to pick our dog up and were amazed at how our dog was behaving. All of the issues we addressed in the consultation were no longer a problem. Kayla explained the commands and how to use them. We also covered the E-Colar and the correct way of using it.All of the happened the last week of September (2020) it is now the last week of December (2020) we are very very happy with the training we and our dog received at SublimeK9. When we get another dog we will definitely be using Kayla again. It is so nice to be able to load our dog up and take her anywhere. We have been asked on several occasions if the training is worth the price and my answer every time is “ Absolutely worth every penny “ Thank you so much.

Cannot recommend Kayla enough. Took my 8 month old Australian Shepherd for the 4 week board and train. She was so excited anytime she saw someone new and would not listen to me and would jump on everyone. I also wanted her to be able to go outside to potty off leash and come back inside when called. Have had her back for 5 days and she is like a new dog. She still gets excited when she sees new people but when I tell her to sit, she sits, and I haven’t had to use a leash at all. Would do all over again and will take any future dogs to Kayla, as well.

Lauren was excellent with my Airedale Terrier, Bo! He struggled with major stubbornness before attending the 2 week session. Now, he’s still himself, but obeys and listens much, much better. She sent me updates almost every day with pictures and videos. I would recommend her 100%!

Kayla literally changed our lives! We adopted a very sweet 8 month old German shepherd/lab mix. She developed terrible separation anxiety with constant panic and barking when alone. She had absolutely no manners. We opted for the 4 week board and train. Not only did Daphne come home with amazing on and off leash skills, but she is now able to play alone, crate without barking and is overall so much happier. We couldn’t recommend Kayla enough!

We took our two 5 month old St. Berdoodles to Kayla. They wouldn't walk on a leash when I dropped them off. Picking them up was like picking up a new dog. Kayla's work is impressive. We definitely recommend her. We chose the 2 week board and train.

We could not be more pleased with Kayla’s K9!!! Our 8 month old lab/golden mix needed to be trained to withstand heavy distractions and he came home from the 4 week board and train program not only able to listen to commands but do so while squirrels scramble all around him!! It was tough to be away from our pup for 4 weeks but with our busy lifestyle, we knew we would never get there on our own. Totally worth the investment for a life of awesomeness with our pup!!

I can not say enough incredible things about Kayla's K9's...if you have a dog, I’m telling you she is worth driving 1/2 way across the country for! Our 8 month old lab/golden mix went for the 4 week board and train and are blown away with the results. We knew we needed a bombproof recall and heel command and he came home with that and so much more. Now we take him everywhere and he gets the life we wanted for him. Worth every penny!

We definitely recommend Kayla. We have a German Shepard and we have had him trained with another company and we could see a little difference. We decided to do more training and go with Kayla’s K9’s. Thank goodness we did! She does an awesome job. He can do all his commands and is a lot more social with people and other dogs. We had Jax do the 4 week training which he definitely needed. We couldn’t believe it was the same dog! We left on Christmas break and decided to leave Jax with Kayla again so he could get a little training while he was being boarded at the same time which worked out great. She worked on a few things and he did great! Again Kayla’s K9’s is worth it!!❤️ The Swanson’s

Absolutely phenomenal K9 trainer. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence is through the roof. She treats her clients (both 4 and 2 legged) like they were close friends.If you need a dog trained, go to her first so that she doesn’t have to fix someone else’s mistakes!

Can’t say enough good things about Kayla’s service! We have a very energetic dog that was in need of some structure and obedience and that’s exactly what she got! Before her board and train we could barely be in the same room with our dog without her jumping, running, knocking our son a down, and basically bouncing off the walls. After her training she is a different dog! We have been able to take her with us on outings and have her in the house when we have company over. She knows all her basic commands and sits in place while we eat dinner. Kayla’s training service has changed our life and we are forever thankful!

We absolutely loved our experience with Kayla’s K9s. We were educated by example and explanation on how to properly help our dog be the best dog he can be! Kayla took the time to answer all of our questions and gave us very thorough responses. We started Bodie out with positive reinforcement training but realized he needed a bit more motivation. Kayla suggested we try an e collar. Bodie has done excellent with the collar. We feel she truly loved our dog and wanted him to succeed just as much as we did! I highly recommend Kayla’s K9s.

July 2019- I enrolled my overly hyper boxer for the five lessons to learn how to control him better. He turned into a totally different dog. I would do it again and recommend her highly.

Both Abby 6 years and Quinn 3 years Australian Shepherds were experiencing negative re-active issues to other dogs. We attended Kayla's 6 week training program and the progress we achieved was simply amazing! Her support of the handler and teaching the skills they need was part of the process which so many other trainers forget. Recommend highly

Kayla is extremely knowledgeable and patient. All of our pups have trained with her! All future ones will, as well!

Known this young lady for awhile and even trained with her. She is extremely capable of any forms of dog training. As a dog trainer myself I would recommend giving Kayla a call before falling into the local Offleash K9 trap.

We took our dog for the 2 week board and train program. Words can not express how wonderful of a job they did with her. She was very well taken care of, I received photos and videos every day of her progress, and they still contact me on a regular basis to check in on her to see how she is doing. I’m still amazed, 8 months later, how well she is behaved and listens to her commands on and off her leash. Money well spent. You will no be disappointed.

Kayla solved my leash problem with my beagle very quickly and we both now enjoy walking everyday. In addition, he has gained other new skills that are very helpful to him being the perfect pup! Thanks, Kayla!

Kayla’s training programs have been truly life changing for us. We have four crazy Weimaraners and at the best of times they were still uncontrollable, especially together in public. After doing her two week board and train program we can take them anywhere, even off leash!!! My husband and I walk all four multiple times a week and it is so much fun now, not an unpleasant chore like before. Vet appointments are also much easier. Our oldest was able to have a chest X-ray without being out to sleep which is great as he’s older, and that would have been impossible before. Thank you Kayla for making our lives and our fur babies lives so much better!

She is an awesome trainer! My dog responded great to her and I loved her training using the e-collar!
