Lebanon Dog Training — Veteran-Owned Board & Train & Aggression Specialists
Wilson County's most trusted dog trainers. Off-leash obedience, board & train, and aggression rehabilitation from a USMC + MARSOC trainer. Just a short drive from Lebanon to our Murfreesboro facility.
Searching for a dog trainer in Lebanon TN? You have options across Wilson County, but few specialize in the work that actually changes dogs: off-leash obedience reliability and aggression rehabilitation. Off Leash K9 Training Middle TN has been training Lebanon-area dogs since 2017. Our facility is a short drive from Lebanon at 2213 NW Broad St, Murfreesboro, TN 37129, and our methodology comes from the U.S. Marine Corps' MARSOC working dog program. Here's what we do, who it's for, and how to get started.
Why Wilson County Dog Owners Drive To Us
Lebanon has a special character — historic downtown square, the natural beauty of Cedars of Lebanon State Park, working farms across Wilson County, and families who take dog ownership seriously. From Hartmann Drive to West Main, Carthage Highway to Coles Ferry Pike, Lebanon residents understand that a well-trained dog is part of a well-lived life.
The dog training options closer to Lebanon tend to fall into two categories: big-box pet store group classes (basic obedience only, no off-leash work) and generalist trainers who handle "everything" but specialize in nothing. Neither category produces the off-leash reliability or aggression rehabilitation results that serious dog owners need.
That's why Lebanon families drive to Off Leash K9 Training Middle TN. We're not closer than the alternatives — but we're better at the work that matters most.
Off-Leash Obedience That Holds
Reliable recall, stays, and heel work in real-world distractions. Your Lebanon dog can hike Cedars of Lebanon, walk the historic downtown square, and live free on your property — without the leash.
Aggression & Reactivity Specialists
Reactive on leash, fence-fighting, dog-on-dog aggression, fear-based snapping, resource guarding. We've rehabilitated hundreds of cases other trainers turned away.
Working & Farm Dog Training
Wilson County has working dogs, livestock guardians, and rural property dogs. We train for the actual environments they live in — not just controlled training rooms.
Marine Corps Methodology
Our head trainer is a 9-year USMC veteran and former MARSOC multi-purpose canine handler. The training discipline is military-grade, the application humane and effective.
Lifetime Free Refreshers
Every board & train graduate returns for free tune-up sessions for life. Move to a new property, life changes, commands get rusty — bring your dog back, no charge.
National Brand, Local Operation
We're the Murfreesboro franchise of Off Leash K9 Training, LLC — the national network founded by Nick White with 130+ locations. Local trust + national methodology.
Serving All Of Lebanon & Wilson County
Whether your home is in historic downtown Lebanon, on acreage near Cedars of Lebanon State Park, in the newer neighborhoods along Hartmann Drive, or on a working farm off Coles Ferry Pike — we serve every part of Wilson County.
Lebanon clients typically choose our Murfreesboro facility for board & train (drop off and pick up) or schedule home consultations for in-Lebanon training assessments. The drive is short, and most clients tell us it's worth it on the first day.

Aggressive Dog Specialists Serving Lebanon
Dog aggression is stressful, frightening, and potentially dangerous. Wilson County families come to us when other trainers have turned their dog away or when the issue has escalated past what group classes or weekly lessons can address.
We've successfully rehabilitated dog-on-dog aggression, fear-based aggression, resource guarding, territorial over-protection, and household dog conflict. The methodology is the same as MARSOC working dog rehabilitation — structured, behavior-modification-based, never punitive.
Types Of Aggression We Treat
Dog-To-Dog Aggression
Lunging, fence-fighting, attacks on other dogs. Whether on Lebanon walks or at your property, we create reliable peaceful coexistence.
People Aggression
Aggression toward strangers, visitors, or specific people. Safe rehabilitation for dogs showing threatening behavior toward humans.
Resource Guarding
Food bowl, toy, or possession aggression. Protocols to eliminate guarding without confrontation or escalation.
Territorial Over-Protection
Common for Wilson County rural properties. We maintain healthy guardian instincts while eliminating dangerous over-aggression.
Fear-Based Aggression
Aggression rooted in anxiety or past trauma. Patient rehabilitation creating confident, secure dogs.
Household Dog Conflict
Fighting between dogs in the same Lebanon home. Restoring multi-dog harmony through structured behavior modification.

We address leash reactivity, dog-on-dog aggression, fear-based aggression, and resource guarding. All aggression programs require a pre-program evaluation. Our head trainer has handled aggressive working dogs in MARSOC.
Will board and train work for my Lebanon dog?
Board and train works for the vast majority of dogs regardless of breed, age, or training history. We've trained 8-week-old puppies through 12-year-old senior dogs. The free phone consultation lets us assess your specific situation. If board and train isn't the right fit, we'll tell you honestly and recommend alternatives.
Do you offer in-home training in Lebanon?
Most of our Lebanon clients use our Murfreesboro facility for board & train, which delivers significantly better results than in-home training due to environmental consistency. Initial consultations and select private lesson packages can include Lebanon-area home visits. Call (615) 905-6559 to discuss what works for your situation.
How long does dog training take?
Programs range from 7 days (puppy program) to 28 days (Elite). The 2-Week Board & Train is our most popular — most adult dogs reach reliable off-leash obedience within 14 days. Aggression rehabilitation typically requires 21 days. Private lesson packages span 4 weeks of weekly sessions.
Do you use e-collars?
Yes, e-collars are included in standard board and train programs and used at low stim levels as a clear, humane communication tool. The conditioning is gradual and never punitive — most dogs barely notice the working level we use. For owners who prefer no e-collar, we offer Basic & Marker Mastery — a 4-week positive-reinforcement-only program for $500 using clicker and marker training.
What ages of dogs do you train?
We train dogs from 8 weeks old through senior age. The critical socialization window for puppies closes around 16 weeks, so earlier is better for foundation training. We've also rehabilitated senior dogs with years of reactive behavior. Older dogs may take longer but absolutely respond.
