Home School Dog Training | Instinct Nashville, TN

Home School + Coaching

Fun. Fast. Effective.

Feeling overwhelmed about your dog’s training or behavior issues? Let us do the heavy lifting with a fully customized Instinct Nashville Home School program.

Immersive At-Home Training

When you enroll in a Home School program with Instinct Nashville, a certified dog trainer will visit several times per week to work with your dog 1-on-1, in your own home and around your neighborhood -- a perfect solution for busy families or tricky-to-train pups. Our positive reinforcement training methods ensure the learning experience is enjoyable for you AND your dog.

Home School + Coaching programs are perfect for:

  • Leash Reactivity issues(barking, lunging at dogs, people, or objects)
  • Outdoor Confidence Building
  • Leash Manners
  • Settling/Staying in Place
  • Coming when Called
  • Impulse Control around Food, Toys & Doorways
  • Puppy Development
  • Guest Routines
  • Resource Guarding
  • Handling Issues

Not suitable for working on separation anxiety, potty training issues, or certain types of human-directed aggression (try Private Coaching instead!).

“Instinct completely changed my relationship with my dog (for the better). The stress I experienced before during walks and when meeting new people is gone, and I can spend more time now enjoying my time with Benny. I would recommend Instinct to anyone seeking positive reinforcement training for their dog.”

What Clients are Saying about Us:

Violet & Family

“Brandi trained my young French Bulldog, Violet, over 12 weeks, first for the good citizen test and then for some tasks related to her becoming a trained service dog. Violet and I both love her. Her teaching methodology made Violet very comfortable and eager to learn. Brandi is always very positive. I recommend her to everyone. Brandi is now training my daughters dog.”

Glitchie & Family

“Jess Stone was absolutely fantastic with Glitchie (g), my little rescue. G was a pandemic puppy and while incredibly playful, was very nervous about encountering people and dogs in our housing area, which manifested as aggression. Jess by was great; I watched G pick up life-skills to help her diffuse her energy and anxieties in amazing ways. She was patient, kind, but also vigilant while I got used to the steep learning curve of dealing with a very energetic and leash aggressive dog. It’s been over 5 months since we did training, and g has retained all the life-skills Jess taught her. I look forward to booking follow-ups in the future. I can’t recommend Jess highly enough!”

Goose & Family

“Jessica W. is awesome! She has helped our family tremendously with our dogs and given us the confidence to handle them in any situation. Both of our dogs have learned proper leash walking, recall skills, as well as “settle” down on the mat. She also helped us to implement fun games and activities which keep them happy and engaged. Our larger dog, Goose, is very high energy! He struggled with overexcitement and anxiety in the home and in new environments, which led to excessive barking, pulling on the leash and other difficult behaviors. Jessica’s training has taught us the techniques to manage his behavior and create an environment for learning and fun, wherever we go!”

Still Deciding?

Here are just a FEW of the reasons Home School is one of our most popular training programs:
  1. Fully Customized Curriculum: each Home School program is 100% personalized to your training goals and your dog’s unique learning needs. No cookie cutter programs here!
  2. Professional Coaches: your dog learns from a professional dog trainer, so progress is super efficient.
  3. A Solid Board & Train Alternative: your dog gets to stay at home with you over the course of the program; their training sessions take place in your home and around your neighborhood.
  4. Support for You: teaching your dog is only 50% of the equation! Every Home School program includes tons of training and support for you, too, so you know exactly how to follow through with everything your dog has learned.
