There are several things you’ll notice about the Dog Training Elite team of the Treasure Coast, whether you visit their facility or you're working with a trainer. These are just a few reasons for my 5-star review: 1. The Owners Are Trainers Themselves- In fact, unless you’ve done your homework, you won’t know that the person greeting you and your dog in the lobby and giving you tips when your dog reacts, just so happens to own the place. They are completely hands-on. 2. This may be a business of training dogs, but the staff all have special skill sets for working with humans, to show up the way they do with customers. Every call, every request is handled kindly and efficiently. They don’t leave you hanging and waiting – they really follow through – cheerfully, no less. Every person on the staff gives you the feeling that they truly love what they do. This makes a huge difference, day in and day out, in how they handle anything that comes up. 3. The trainers (so far I’ve worked with Nick and Nate) have a kind of “contagious calmness” about them. As a newbie to dog training, I’m really impressed with how they greet all of my questions and concerns with the same kind of enthusiastic reassurance that my puppy responded to immediately. (You can’t fool a dog!) Trust me, you’ll want to emulate their behavior yourself when you see the best in your dog start to surface. 4. The 6 months of unlimited group classes in the package I chose, proves to me that they're patiently with you, committed to your-and your dog's -progress. Some things take time and, if you haven't already learned patience yourself, you will by watching the trainers. In short, I highly recommend this business for you and your dog. They set a very high bar!
