Nina Alfaro, founder and lead trainer at Embark Dog Training in Nashville, brings over five years of hands-on experience to the table.

 After attending the renowned Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers, Nina’s approach is grounded in balanced training methods that prioritize clarity, communication, and real-world results.

Specializing in behavior modification, puppy development, and off-leash obedience, Nina has worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, but her style was truly shaped by one: Toretto, her Belgian Malinois. Through him, she learned that structure, trust, and consistency aren’t just training principles—they’re a way of life.

Today, Nina works with clients across Middle Tennessee, helping families build stronger bonds with their dogs through personalized, practical programs designed to create lasting transformation.
