We're 25 minutes from West Knoxville via Pellissippi Parkway and 30 minutes from downtown via Alcoa Highway (US-129). For board and train programs, the drive is a one-time trip — your dog stays with us for the full program, and we send daily photo and video updates so you never miss a milestone.
Knoxville has plenty of trainers, but we're one of the only NePoPo® Graduates in all of East Tennessee. Clients from Bearden, Farragut, Powell, and Fountain City drive to us specifically because NePoPo® methodology gets results that traditional obedience classes can't match — especially for reactive, anxious, or strong-willed dogs.
Tell us about your dog — we'll call or text you back, usually within a few hours.

“We live in Hardin Valley and tried two trainers closer to home first. Neither could handle our reactive Husky. David's board and train program was a total game-changer — our dog now walks past other dogs on the greenway without lunging. The 20-minute drive was the best decision we made.”
— Amanda K., Hardin Valley

Training starts — with progress you can see and skills that stick.
About 20 minutes from most Knoxville neighborhoods. From Farragut or West Knoxville, take Pellissippi Parkway to Alcoa Highway (US-129) south. From downtown or UT campus, take Alcoa Highway directly. We're at 7337 Tomotley Road in Maryville. Many clients say the drive feels shorter than crossing Knoxville in rush hour traffic.
Yes! We offer pet taxi service for $30 round-trip within the Maryville/Alcoa area. For Knoxville clients enrolling in board and train, we can discuss pickup arrangements during your free consultation. Many Knoxville clients prefer to drop off in person so they can tour the facility and meet David.
This is one of our most common cases from Knoxville. Dogs that lunge and bark at other dogs on the Greenway, at Lakeshore Park, or in neighborhoods like Sequoyah Hills often have leash reactivity that responds extremely well to NePoPo® methods. Our board and train programs address the root cause — not just the symptoms — so your dog can enjoy Knoxville's parks again.
You're not alone — many of our Knoxville clients come to us after trying 1-3 other trainers first. The difference is our method and our format. NePoPo® is a completely different system than what most local trainers use, and board and train provides 24/7 immersion that weekly classes simply can't replicate. We welcome dogs that other trainers have given up on.
