As many of you already know me but some of you might not; my name is Scottie Greene. My passion for well over 30 years has been furthering my education and knowledge on communicating with dogs. Growing up I can’t think of one moment that didn’t include a dog of some type. I remember when I was 10 years old and competed in my very first dog obedience trial. His name was Rusty a Rottweiler and he was nearly as big as me. After taking home first place, I was hooked. 

After serving my country abroad I returned home with the dream of working with dogs full time. I used my GI bill to search out and attend as many K9 seminars I possibly could. I also attended the Tennessee Police academy out of my own pocket to fulfill my dream of being a police K9 Officer. I was hired as a K9 Officer in Jonesborough TN and handed my first partner K9 Rio. 

After 7 years I left Jonesborough police department after K9 Rio retired and started in the private sector. I have contracted with top-notch cutting-edge companies whose mission is to fight terrorism globally. Along with contracts working alongside FEMA during national disasters. 

After working the private sector for three years, I found myself back in Law Enforcement and K9. I was hired by the Greene County Sheriff’s Department to start up their new K9 division. I am very happy to say that all four dogs trained solely by me were rescues pulled from pounds all over the country and passed all certifications with NADDA as dual-purpose police K9s. 

I left law enforcement after getting married and moved to Seymour TN and started working for a company that trains dogs. In my time with that company I trained and maintained over 100 board and trains without a single issue from any clients. I also taught classes using my style of training at Sevierville city park. After an incident happened that painted that company in a bad light I decided it was time to break away and teach my way. 

I have reconnected with my passion of training obedience. I’m not just a dog trainer who works with the dog. I’m a “People” trainer and my job is to train you how to train YOUR dog. I am proficient in the use of all training aids. I have been trained in the use of both Positive and Balanced methods. I will not try and make you “like” one form over another. I will explain the ups and downs of using both and let you decide.
