About The Cooperative Canine, LLC

The Cooperative Canine operates in two cities – Nashville and Portland, Oregon – with separate teams, service areas and contact numbers for each. It is worth knowing that the business is not Nashville-only, because the trainers and the pet-sitting team differ by city.

What you can book here

The Nashville side lists dog training, behavior coaching, puppy training, stay and train, and in-home pet sitting. Virtual dog training and online behavior coaching are offered separately for owners anywhere in the US, described as live video sessions covering basic manners, puppy training and challenging behaviors including reactivity and separation anxiety, and pitched at busy schedules, dogs who travel badly, or areas with limited access to qualified trainers. The site says virtual clients work directly with a certified professional dog trainer and behavior consultant; ask which credential.

Method

Force-free, stated repeatedly rather than implied: "force-free dog training, trusted pet sitting, and behavior guidance built for real life", with the Portland description reinforcing the same. In a Nashville market where balanced training is the more common position, that is a clear point of differentiation.

The pet-sitting half

Unusually, sitting is a genuine second business line rather than an afterthought – in-home pet sitting for travel or extra help, with the site offering a free guide to hiring a pet sitter as its lead magnet. If you want the same people who train your dog to look after it while you are away, that is the model here.
