    We’ve had a fantastic experience with Dog Training Elite Boston. The trainers are incredibly dedicated and clearly care about both the dogs and their owners. We received thoughtful, personalized feedback at every step, along with practical training strategies that were easy to understand and apply at home. The process gave us and our dog so much more confidence, and we now feel like we have real tools to handle situations that used to feel overwhelming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for effective, supportive, and results-driven dog training.

    Cindy and Kyle were great to work with. DTE started working with me in July. They came with me to Saving Grace in Wake Forest to make sure we were adopting the right dog to train to be a service animal. Cindy and Kyle was very responsive to all communications and was a pleasure to work with. DTE has an amazing business concept that will put their competitors out of business since they offer their training packages at a substantially lower price than what you would to pay to other companies. Thank you Cindy for your amazing work

    We have been training our 18 month old German shepherd mix rescue and our 8 month old Golden Mountain Doodle during the past year. I cannot find the words to recommend Kayla highly enough. She is professional, kind, punctual, loving to our dogs and has done wonders training our dogs. She truly is the best!

    My wife and I were very frustrated at home due to our resource guarding and reckless behavior. We reached out to Dog Training Elite and were impressed from the start. Within 1-2 seasons, our dog respected us much more. Nathan is an awesome trainer and is always flexible and willing to help. I would recommend them to anyone who is having troubles at home with their dog. This experience has been life changing and allowed us to enjoy time at home with our dog.

In House Puppy Training

At Dog Training Elite, we believe training in your home is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home methods allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

Our training approach minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of Training

Read More
Read Less
  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
