Legend Acres

Kristi and her team are amazing. We adopted a dog from a local AZ rescue and she was going to be a big dog. We have only had small dogs for many years. I saw people posting on Facebook about how great Legend Acres is for dog training and decided to give them a try. Best decision. Kristi and team were fantastic to work with. Kristi is so knowledgeable and truly passionate about teaching skills for us humans to help our beloved dogs. She made it super interesting and fun. Our Maggie is doing great and we owe it to Kristi and Legend Acres. If you are looking for help with unfavorable behaviors from your furry friend or just looking for guidance on training them skills, I highly recommend Legend Acres.

Legends Acres has helped us not only get our dog back on track after bringing home a second dog, but Tori has helped us break some behaviors we thought were hopeless. The puppy is also learning all the skills he needs to be successful in the world of people. The trainers are willing to listen to where you’re struggling and help you troubleshoot or provide encouragement when the answer is it takes time. They’re also the most reasonably priced group class we found in Clarksville and offer puppy socialization which we’ve found to be invaluable in our boys lives. It’s been rewarding watching the puppy come out of his shell and be willing to play with other dogs while becoming a better playmate to his brother!

I just want to say that I have had nothing but positive experiences with Kristie Mae and her staff both as a student AND fellow animal professionals. I first met Kristie (the owner) through Chance Animal Shelter when I worked as an animal welfare professional. I then took Kristie's beginner obedience class with my gigantic, loud and intimidating American Bulldog mix. Even though my dog barked at everything AND everyone Kristie did not kick us out and was so supportive and encouraging. Her program is awesome! I HIGHLY recommend them!

I have worked with Kristi and the crew at Legend Acres for almost 8 months. I rescued a 2 yr. old mix dog and wanted to train her as my service dog. Kristi has worked with us (I say US because she trained me too) weekly. The whole group of Legend Acres is fantastic! She is now my service, we are so happy. They are caring, informative and professional. I would recommend this facility to anyone.

I have been a client of Legend Acres for almost a year now, and it has been a life changing blessing for which I am truly grateful. I had been to two other training schools prior. The first place did not use positive based training, and my little rescued street dog became more anxious rather than better behaved. The second place is one of the best known in Nashville. The training itself was good, but the class size was too large. Houdini and I did not get the private attention we needed to succeed. All that changed when I found Kristi and Legend Acres on an app called thumbtack. Kristi worked with us privately, and helped my little dog, who had failed his CGC exam at our prior “Big Name” school to pass with flying colors. Through her encouragement, he is now a service dog in training!! Kri
