Learn Why Dog owners choose Dog Training Elite

    When searching for puppy training I was unsure of what to look for. However, my Pepper and I checked out a couple places. The moment he stepped into the training area at Dog Training Elite, he was mesmerized. I had to pull him away when it was time to leave. So truly Pepper chose Elite. There he learned the basics and it was so very easy to practice at home. The videos sent to me are the best source of reference for me as an owner. I have a busy work schedule so referring back to the videos and having practice sessions with Pepper have been great. I totally recommend Dog Training Elite, my dog has been very easy to correct and he remembers the commands. I haven't utilized the group sessions yet but I took advantage of a package that included a week long all day training camp for my puppy. Totally pleased with this investment and hope to continue utilizing Dog Training Elite in the future.

    I got a 6 year old rescue 3 months ago & found that I couldn’t walk him by other dogs without him lunging & growling at them. I tried an online program but reached a point where he wasn’t improving. I reached out to Dog Training Elite & in 2 sessions he improved greatly around other dogs. He & I are still a work in progress but in our 3rd session he walked figure 8’s around the trainers dog without reacting. You have to put in the work but I’m so grateful to both Neal & Azure for getting my dog on the right path so I can confidently have him in public without being fearful of his negative reaction to other dogs.

    Hannah, our trainer, did an outstanding job with Benito, our one-year-old Goldendoodle, during his Platinum training package. Over the 8 classes, we saw a significant improvement in his behavior. He no longer jumps on people, walks are much calmer, and he has much better manners around others, and he even learned a few great tricks along the way. Hannah traveled from Green Bay to Oshkosh for every class, which truly shows her dedication and professionalism. In the middle of the course, we had a family emergency involving our daughter during one of our scheduled class meetings. She had already made the drive and was incredibly understanding, did not count the class, and rescheduled it without any issue. Benito clearly built a strong bond with her and would even cry when she left after class. We are very grateful for her commitment and highly recommend Hannah and Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin.

    We took our girl to DTE for her puppy training and will also be using them to train her for service animal for our son. They are very knowledgeable and have a big love for what they do! We saw immediate success just after her first day! Highly recommend them!

    Carol, Parker, and Julia were absolutely exceptional for me and my golden retriever, Mr. Moose! I couldn’t have asked for a better service than what was provided. The group training with the other dogs was very fun and helpful to Moose’s training. Carol and Julia made sure that he was 100% ready for his public access test before he took it to make sure he would pass. Parker was Moose’s trainer for his task training, he made sure all of the instructions for the lesson were understood before the day finished and was very interactive, patient and kind to Moose. I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer!

    We were referred to Dog Training Elite by a friend who had a great experience with them. Our dog struggled with reactivity toward men, and after trying multiple training options with no success, we were feeling stressed and discouraged. Matt worked with us over three sessions and made remarkable progress with our dog. He was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with reactive dogs. He provided practical guidance not only for training our dog, but also for helping the people around him create a calmer, safer environment and prevent bite incidents. His balanced approach combined positive reinforcement with E-collar redirection, and we’re incredibly grateful for his help.

    Since rescuing my almost 2 year baby, we have gone through two different trainers before coming to Elite. My guy is very smart and sweet but very stubborn and had issues with fixations, boundaries and not having a recall to literally save his life. The first trainers were just awful and the second was wonderful, but Otis needed a different approach to training and Dog Training Elite was it! There was a night and day difference on day 1! Read that again .. day 1! Emily, Cheyenne, and Chelsea are just incredible people and so good at what they do! Otis did their two week program and it was the best thing I could have done for him. What I liked most about it is it’s not a board and train. I dropped him off for school in the morning and picked him up after work. He has a new level of confidence and he is more approachable with other dogs, meaning they want to play and engage with him first vs him not respecting boundaries and pushing himself onto others. He listens so well and his recall you ask? Fantastic :) He’s a potato with feet so I don’t expect him to come running but when I call his name but now he always turns and/or stops. I’m so proud of him and us and beyond thankful that I finally took him here. We are always training. Heel is a struggle for us but we’re getting there. This was exactly what my stubborn bully needed 😃 Thank you again!!

    At first, I wasn’t sure if this was something I wanted to do. But after training with Nathan and clint, it was definitely worth it! We have much more control over our dog. He listens so much better to us. So everyone is happy. And they gave us the tools for this to happen.

    If I could give 10 stars I would! Stephany, Ramiro and the team are so great! They took on two of our puppies at once! Both dogs will be service dogs and they worked very hard to understand the needs of our 2 sons so that they could train the dogs for them as individuals! They were VERY patient with the humans too! They are helping us work through all situations with respect and patience. They also do an AMAZING job work with my son who has severe anxiety! They made him feel confident and heard! BRAVO to the team at Dog Training Elite! Excited to see the growth that we will all see in the next steps of our training!

    Dog Training Elite trained my seven month old Border Terrier and I know training a Border Terrier, let alone a seven month old terrier, is a challenging Job. Matt and Falisha were amazing and really know what they are doing. I take my terrier in every few months for a refresher while he’s still young. And each time I get Report card with feedback and things I can do to continuously improve his training and behavior. He’s an amazing puppy. Learns quickly and it’s all things to DTE. Knowing my puppy like I do, I’m sure it’s not nearly as easy as they make it look. Border Terriers can be very stubborn, but mine doesn’t show it.

    All of the trainers are easy to work with, exceptionally helpful, and great with my dog Charlotte. They are always available to answer any questions that come up, and scheduling appointments is easy and flexible. It is nice that they come to your home and work one-on-one. Highly recommend them for any dog training needs! I will be using them again in the future.
