I’m Vashti Walker, founder and head coach of FETCH K9 Coaching. Dogs are my passion, and helping people connect with them is my calling. At FETCH, we do more than fix behavior. We build relationships through empathy, structure, and trust.
I’m proud to be:
FETCH stands for Fundamental and Essential Training for Canine Homes, which is exactly what we deliver. There are no gimmicks, no fear, just real progress that honors the God-given bond between human and animal.
– Colossians 3:23

Each session is positive, fun, and practical, giving your pup real-world experience in a safe, rewarding environment. Start your puppy off on the right paw for a lifetime of success.
Group Class starts at $200.
Private Class starts at $450.
If your dog is reactive on walks, fearful of strangers, anxious when left alone, or struggles with environmental triggers, you’re not alone. Our behavior modification services offer structured, science-based training plans to help your dog overcome these challenges safely. We’ll teach you how to recognize stress signals, avoid escalation, and respond with calm, consistent communication. Whether it’s leash reactivity, separation anxiety, or general nervousness, we’ll guide you through gentle, practical techniques that restore peace to your home and confidence to your dog.
In-home classes starts at $500.
Pet Store classes start at $900.
Dogs thrive on consistency, so we work with the whole family to ensure everyone’s on the same page. From toddlers to grandparents, we create customized plans that align with your family’s routines and expectations. We teach age-appropriate methods for each family member, ensuring your dog understands what’s expected, no yelling, no confusion, just clear, kind communication. Whether it’s learning to greet guests politely or staying calm during meal prep, our family-centered approach makes life with your dog smoother and more enjoyable.
In-home classes starts at $1,000.
Pet Store classes start at $600.
Give your dog an immersive reset. Your pup stays with us and trains daily through structured routines, obedience practice, and controlled socialization. We address problem behaviors, build reliable skills, and return your dog with clear homework and owner coaching.
Pricing starts at:
Includes boarding, daily training, progress updates, and a go-home lesson.
Our in-home sessions allow us to meet your dog in their own space and teach where behavior naturally occurs, on the couch, at the front door, or during your daily neighborhood walk.
Whether in Downtown Knoxville or a nearby town, we are just a call away from helping you build a calmer, more connected home with your dog.

Your dog lives in your home—not in a training center. That’s why we focus on teaching practical behavior where it matters most, helping your pup learn in the environment they spend every day. This approach gives you the tools and confidence to guide your dog successfully in real-life situations. For added flexibility, we also offer training in a pet store environment, giving your pup valuable socialization and real-world experience.
Our approach is tailored to each individual dog. Rather than forcing one method, we carefully assess your dog’s personality, needs, and learning style to choose the techniques that will be most effective. This ensures your dog gets the right guidance, builds confidence, and develops lasting good behavior.
Yes. We specialize in behavior modification for dogs struggling with fear, reactivity, or anxiety. Every case is unique, so we create a customized plan that prioritizes safety, builds trust, and encourages steady progress. Our philosophy is that while aggression can often be managed and improved, it’s equally important to set realistic expectations for long-term success.
You can start as early as 8 weeks old. Early training helps shape good habits and builds a trusting relationship with your puppy.
Call us at 877-323-3824 or email [email protected]. We will schedule a consultation and discuss your goals so we can build the right plan for your dog.
