Local Dog Trainers

Very happy with this special session. Now I'll work on the things she showed me.

Neil is an awesome trainer. Our German Shepard is showing such great progress. This dog went from wanting to eat you to such a well behaved boy. Neil brought 2 other trainer last session an Cosmos barked twice , We gave him the comand and he settled down and one of the other trainers got to work with him and Cosmos did so well. That was such a HUGE difference. We are so thankful for Neil and his team.

I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Larissa. She was outstanding—kind, knowledgeable, and truly gifted at what she does. Our dog, who we honestly thought might be too old to learn new tricks (or even just basic good behavior), responded incredibly well to her approach. It was a pleasure having Larissa come to our home week after week. Having in‑home training—especially since we live 50 minutes outside of Green Bay—was such a huge benefit and made the entire process so much easier for us. Five stars to Elite Dog Training, and an extra‑bright 5+ stars to Larissa!

I cannot recommend DTE enough. They’ve been absolutely amazing working with my dog, Ozzy. He’s not even finished with his training yet, but he’s already a completely different dog. The improvement in his manners, obedience, and overall behavior has been incredible to see. What I appreciate most is their honesty and integrity. They don’t try to sell you more than you need—they recommend the training packages that truly fit you and your dog, nothing more and nothing less. That kind of transparency is rare and really speaks to their professionalism. Ozzy is training to become a service dog, and the foundation they’re helping build is already making a huge difference. I’m so glad they were the first trainers I reached out to. If you want to better your dog while also becoming a better dog owner yourself, I would highly recommend them.

Red was a huge help to us! He was so patient and kind while helping us work with our very reactive dog. Definitely recommend.

Excellent experience!

Overall, I highly recommend this trainer to anyone looking for effective, compassionate dog training. The results were noticeable, and my dog is now more confident, obedient, and happy.

Larissa was the BEST! She worked with our dogs, Honey and Bane on basic obedience and some reactivity to other dogs. Our dogs are SO much better now. One of our favorite things we worked on was “place”so our dogs would sit on our couch when someone came over and they wouldn’t greet them until we release them. We also enjoyed working with our dogs to be more neutral while walking. When training dogs, you also have to train the owners and Larissa did a great job navigating the situation when we had some stressful training sessions. Sometimes our dogs were being stubborn and my fiancé and I were both getting frustrated. But Larissa calmed us both down and we were able to have a productive session. Larissa is very patient and always very positive. We looked forward to our sessions each week. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Our experience with Dog Training Elite Orlando has been incredible. Eros started in the Platinum program and now we are continuing with the Service Dog program, and we have truly seen an impressive transformation in his behavior, obedience, and confidence. What makes this place special is the quality and dedication of their trainers. Chelsea, Cheyenne, Logan, and Emily have been absolutely wonderful. They are always patient, professional, and it’s clear that they truly love what they do. They have guided us step by step and are always willing to answer questions and help us improve as handlers. The training doesn’t focus only on the dog; they also teach the owner how to properly work with their dog to maintain long-term progress. Thanks to their support.

Debbie was very patient and explained things very well so we understood what she was doing and why

We brought our anxious 4-month-old Rough Collie puppy to Cheyenne and Chelsea for obedience and service dog training. They are truly incredible trainers who transformed our unruly nervous puppy into a emboldened model service dog. In fact, we were so impressed that we were bold enough to get two more pups (at the same time!) who we’ve already enrolled into their programs! If you want your dogs to be well-behaved members of your family, who can accompany you anywhere—from public outings to stress-free vet visits—this is the team to call. As a pilot and surfer, having "adventure dogs" who can keep up with my lifestyle is essential. My oldest has accompanied me surfing, kayaking, flying, to theme parks, shopping, everywhere. The impact on our home’s stress level has been worth every penny. I cannot recommend them enough.

I’ve been working with DTE to train my service dog from day one, I can’t say enough about how great this experience has been. They really set every dog up for success. The support I have received and expertise I have witnessed is unmatched. I can say without reservation that I would recommend them to anyone.

Rachel has been exceptional in the training of our German shepherd. He’s just about 4 months and the strategies and techniques taught have helped us to develop a great understanding of our dog at the time of the sessions and after she has left. I look forward to working with her in the future as well.

I recently moved to Texas and after finally welcoming my German shepherd puppy into my home I decided to start his training while he was young and began my search around the New Caney area immediately, not having a clue who to reach out to!! I called several trainers and after many times reaching out to other trainers and receiving a ‘no we don’t train puppies’ or no response at all Elite Training was my last resort! Rachel immediately called me back and listened to my needs and immediately offered to come to my home for an assessment of my work and to demonstrate her skills!! Wow was I very impressed, she was then and continues to be, very skilled in working with dogs, especially German shepherds, and my puppy immediately learned so many skills in that very short period of time!! I would only recommend not wasting your time with anyone else!!! If you want results, immediate results, invest yourself with Elite training, Rachel is the absolutely best!! God certainly saved the best for last in finding her and our paths crossing!!! A VERY satisfied customer….

Shayna had a great time with her friends in downtown wintergarden on the dog training parades from dog training elite

We took our puppy here for puppy camp, and let me tell you it is worth it! The week of camp, personalized 1:1 sessions, and group classes all included! We met with some wonderful trainers including Evie and Terrence during our 1:1 sessions, who are great trainers, very knowledgeable, listened to our wants/needs and tailored each session towards our goals. They were not just training the pup but giving us humans some training and tips as well. Our puppy worked the most with trainer Alli (I hope I spelled your name right!), for her camp week and also for our group lessons. She is amazing!! She has great energy (even at the end of the day!), tried different ways to approach our needs when our puppy needed just a little bit more guidance, thought about our classes and had a plan before we got there, and helped teach us, as well as puppy, the right ways to do different skills/tricks/disciplines. Our puppy loves her and was excited to go to class every time! When we play back the videos we were sent after each day of camp, just hearing Alli's voice on the video starts some major tail wags and puppy runs around looking for her! This was a fantastic investment for our girl, worth every penny. Amazing trainers, amazing results. We can't wait to come back for adult classes!!

Ali saved our sanity. We made the slightly insane decision to bring a puppy into our lives while we had a baby on the way. Both my wife and I had over 10 years of dog ownership experience, so we thought we had it under control. What we quickly realized, though, was that while we could train our puppy to *perform commands*, we couldn’t get her to consistently *choose to listen*. For example, I previously took our puppy to a purely positive-reinforcement training school. When they taught “drop it,” the method was to always trade the dog for the item. I even asked the trainer about a concern I had: my previous dog learned that if she stole something, I would always trade her to get it back, so stealing actually became rewarding. The trainer’s response was simply, “You should always just trade.” That wasn’t what I was looking for. I wanted an obedient dog, not one that gamed the system. Working with Dog Training Elite and Ali completely changed things. Ali taught me the techniques and structure needed to develop a truly well-behaved, obedient dog. My 8-month-old puppy can now walk off leash with me something I never thought would be possible before. Can your pure positive reinforcement puppy do that? I AM A BELIEVER IN THE TECHNIQUES ENFORCED BY DOG TRAINING ELITE NOW, call me a convert. I want to call out that I had already put a lot of work into training my dog before meeting Ali, but what I learned is that every dog is different. Ali helped me understand how to properly reinforce training so the lessons actually stick. Ali — thank you so much. Daisy misses you already!

It’s hard to put into words how deeply grateful I am to have found DTE of Northern Utah. Including a dog in my mental health therapy practice has been my dream from the very beginning but other programs I looked into were cost prohibitive to say the least. An unexpected opportunity to adopt my dream therapy dog for a fraction of the price left me scrambling to find the right program at the right price, and Colleen at DTE helped us get her into the psychiatric service + therapy dog program at an unbeatable price with monthly payment options. Don’t let the lower cost fool you—their training program is effective, efficient, and robust. Our specific program includes in-home and in-office training, public access training at local stores, Saturday group classes at a local park, Monday-Friday 9 AM-5PM obedience training camps for puppies, and LIFETIME MAINTENANCE TRAINING as needed. They have been wonderful in including my kids in the process as well. I could gush for hours about our experience with DTE but I’ll leave it at this: give them a call and see for yourself. You’ll fall in love with the staff and feel assured that your furry friend is in the very best of hands.

Alaina was awesome with honey and training her with the new collar

I purchased their Platinum package which includes one on one sessions and unlimited dog group classes. My experience with Matt, Paul, and Megan have been great! My German Shepherd puppy really took to their training, and dog group classes are a great way to get the family out and meet other dog owners and dogs. A++++ recommendation!
