    Kim has been working with Teddy and I. Teddy is a smart cavapoo. And spoiled rotten but each day we get better. The real test will be when the 6 grandchildren show up all at once. He is what Kim calls a Velcro dog. Very attached to me. Thanks Kim for all your help and I look forward to being able to gather in the park and learn more.

    (Translated by Google) Very kind 😊 She explained everything in detail so my puppy could understand, and even though I don't speak much English, we used a translator. I'm very happy, thank you 🙂 This is my 4th session.

    Tina was amazing! She worked with us on our tight time constraints. The leash pulling and reactivity to people has improved significantly. If you’re considering training for your pup I highly recommend dog training elite emerald coast!

    My second class with Elijah’s virtual dog obedience training was incredible. His calm, clear approach was easy to follow and incredibly effective—even online. Watching Elijah show techniques with his own dogs was amazing! They obviously adore him and follow every command. Elijah truly cares and explains things in a way that makes the training stick. Can’t wait to work with my Birdie this week. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I have had a wonderful experience using this service. Our dog Melo is nervous and reactive, but thanks to the training, we saw noticeable improvement in a very short time. They have been amazing, and we would absolutely recommend them.

    Dog Training Elite is hands down the best trainer we could have chosen for our Golden Retriever puppy. We initially started with a different (cheaper) training option, but quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit and made the switch to Dog Training Elite and we are so glad we did. The progress we’ve seen in our puppy from 5 months old to 8–10 months old has been night and day. The care, dedication, and effort René and Beth put into both us and our dog has exceeded anything we could have expected. From in-home training to public outings (Home Depot, Bass Pro, etc.), as well as the lifetime group classes, the experience has been outstanding. We highly recommend René and Beth to anyone with a Golden Retriever puppy (or any dog), and we will 100% be using Dog Training Elite for all of our future dogs. P.S. René and Beth have the cutest and most well-behaved pups you’ll ever meet.

    David at Dog Training Elite has been the best dog trainer we've ever worked with! He is easy going, understands dogs and makes training our new puppy so fun and do-able! All this incredible wisdom is showing up in our new puppy. We are training her to be a service dog for my daughter, and the difference from when she started and where she is now has astonished me! I can see this dream coming true! Please call David and ask him how he can help you get your doggo from point A to point B. He's full of wisdom, he's generous with his time and it's obvious he cares deeply for both his human clients and his four legged clients too! Thank you, David! I am forever grateful for your support!! -Leigh and Scylla the pup!

    Mike Kwan is phenomenal. He has an incredible ability to understand and connect with my dog and family. What sets Mike apart is his consistency, patience, and intuitive handling skills. Every session is structured, positive, and engaging. I have seen remarkable progress in my dog’s behavior, confidence, and overall well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective dog handler.

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite Broward has been over Five Star all the way. The owner Gus personally came to our house to meet our wonderful Pitt Bull, Ruby. She’s a wonderful dog but was a leash puller and would bark at other dogs when on her leash and in the car. The training first begins with at home personal training with my son and I. A training collar comes as part of the training program. Was very happy with her progress and after the 6 private sessions, they offer unlimited group sessions at many different locations near where we live. The actual trainer who comes to the house, Matt is amazing and so knowledgeable and works with both the dog and the owner. Last Saturday we attended the first group session and it was also amazing. I was surprised how many people used Dog Training Elite Broward. I highly recommend them for both dog and their owners.

    ​I hired Dog Training Elite to work with my Malinois/GSD mix, Sandy, and it was the best investment I could have made. Let’s be clear: this training isn’t cheap, but good things rarely are. For the level of expertise and the results I have received, the price is more than fair. ​We started with private sessions where Neal and Karen came directly to my home. They don’t cut corners—we spent time building a rock-solid foundation in my own environment first. In fact, we had to demonstrate that control to "earn" our invitation to the group obedience classes, and eventually the protection group. I respect that standard; they ensure every dog in the group is truly ready. ​The knowledge base here is incredible. Neal walks the walk (watching his own protection-trained Malinois, Chewy, is inspiring), and Karen’s background in French Ring with Tervurens brings a technical precision that is hard to find. ​Now, at 8.5 months old, Sandy is thriving in the protection group. The decoy brings fantastic positive energy to the sessions, and Sandy’s confidence is skyrocketing. If you want real results, hire this team.

    I just started training my third dog with Dog Training Elite. JB worked with me to train my Husky-mix when her behavior was so bad that I thought I would have to rehome her. Three years later she is still so obedient that we can take her anywhere dogs are welcome. I am also working with JB to train my goldendoodle to be my service dog, and now JB is training my hound dog. No matter the breed or the behavior issues, I highly recommend hiring DTE to train your dog. JB, Christie and Paige are amazing people and excellent trainers. They dedicate every Saturday holding group training sessions at various locations, rain or shine, all year long. Trust JB and his team, they will work with your dog and love them as much as you do.
