John did an amazing job with our pup. Our pup started showing reactive tendencies and would ignore any recalls. He would make people feel uncomfortable by his bark and appearance. After even a few sessions of just obedience trainings , our pup was starting to calm down. John really took his time and explained everything for us and was available whenever we had questions. Our pup is doing way better and is reactivity is way down. We will continue to go over the basics with him. Thank you to John and Elite Dog training for your time and guidance.

John was fantastic working with our puppy and us. He helped us make our training fun and less stressful, our two older dogs are also enjoying the results of our puppy's training. We are grateful for all the help John and the other staff provided.

We are very happy with our dog training through Elite Dog Training. Everyone with the company has been responsive and helpful. Our trainer, John, has been wonderful! He has really helped teach us and our dog and we are seeing great improvements! John has always been on time (early even) and kind. We’ve all had fun together, laughing and practicing with our dog. Now we look forward to the park training classes to continue on the journey. I definitely recommend Elite Dog Training!

We had a wonderful experience with Dog Training Elite! John is an excellent trainer—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. He made every session engaging and easy to follow, and his calm, positive approach gave us confidence as new puppy owners. We saw real progress in our puppy's behavior while learning practical techniques we could continue using at home. We highly recommend John and Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for an effective, supportive, and enjoyable puppy training experience. Five stars!

I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite enough! Before working with them, our Cooper was over reactive, barked constantly, and would pull on a leash, even though he had already been through other obedience classes! Robert, our trainer, completely changed our lives. He came to our home the first nine weeks, which made Cooper and us feel comfortable. We were introduced to the e-collar, teaching us how to use it safely and effectively as a communication tool. The results were amazing! He no longer barks, walks on a leash and just passed his Public Access Test!

I love the one-on-one training! Kayla, our trainer, has been exceptional. Marley was extremely nervous at our first training, but Kayla quickly settled him. She is patient with our dog and my husband and me. We don’t always get it the first time. She is positive and encouraging. We actually enjoy our training sessions which is different from our previous experience with dog training. I highly recommend Dig Training Elite NM!

It’s nice to sit down to dinner with 3 dogs and have a quiet, uninterrupted meal. Each dog knows where she’s supposed to be and stays there. Dog Training Elite has given us tools to address behavioral problems if they crop up.

I love working with Kayla C she is good with me and dogs

I contacted Dog Training Elite to help train my new service dog. From the first phone conversation, I could already tell it was going to be a good experience. I"ve worked with service dogs in the past, so I know good trainers and I know bad trainers. Kayla came out to my house to start the basic obedience, which was great. She was so patient and loving towards Helga. AFter that we started the group classes and these have really helped Helga socialize more and get used to the outdoors. We've been practicing for our Public Access test and hope to get that done soon so we can get to the service tasks. This company is very comprehensive and supportive with clients and doggos. I'm glad I found them before anyone else on my list.

Kayla is the best! We have been working together to train my service dog, Baymax and things have been going amazingly! Kayla is patient, kind, and helpful. She listens to both mine and Baymax’s needs and training has become the best part of my week!

I've been training with Kayla C., Kayla D and Abby. They've all been amazing to work with, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite New Mexico.

Excellent attention and experience. Kayla was very attentive to our many questions. Wish I had found Elite long ago

Dog training elite was a great experience for us and our dog. Our trainer Robert was excellent!! His knowledge and guidance made this a positive experience and we learned how to control and enjoy our dog.

Kayla D was and is the most phenomenal trainer for my dog Ramon. Her expertise, patience, and genuine care has made every session engaging and effective. Ramon responds incredibly well to her guidance, and I’m thrilled to share that he is now service trained thanks to her exceptional coaching. The team of trainers, including both Kayla’s and Lacey, has been incredibly supportive and wonderful throughout our journey. Their combined knowledge, encouragement, and personalized approach created a training experience that was not only successful but also enjoyable. It has been a lot of fun working with them, and the positive energy they bring kept us motivated every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone seeking top-tier training, thoughtful instruction, and a caring, talented team. If you’re looking for excellent results and a team that truly cares about you and your dog, this is the place.

Sending a big shout out to Kayla Collins for her professionalism.. she's the best dog trainer anyone could ever ask for.. thank you! from your friends..Gina and Lucy

Steve is a really good instructor! The dogs took to him right away and instructions easy to follow. The dogs caught on quickly and easy to follow through for the remainder of the week. Highly recommend this form of dog training.

Could not be happier with Dog Training Elite in Albuquerque. Our dog Xochi was very reactive which made it difficult for her to enjoy many activities with us including walking in public around other dogs, having friends over to our house. Kayla C came to work with us and Xochi, helping us teach Xochi commands but also teaching us how to respond to Xochi's reactivity. After even the first session Xochi showed improvement. Finally the ultimate test was when Kayla C brought her own dog Axl into our home, and though Xochi wasn't thrilled, she allowed him to exist in our home, even sit in HER chair! The group sessions are very helpful as well, each time Xochi goes, she shows improvement and learns that other dogs are not always so scary! Now Xochi's quality of life has greatly improved because she can be at ease around new people and dogs, and she now has pack leaders who are learning how to lead her. DTE NM, Kayla C and Lacy could not have done a better job.

Great trainers with a lot of experience.

The weekly training really helped calm our dog down around people. We actually see a difference from day 1 to the end of training and going on walks does not feel stressful anymore!

This company has really helped my dog's and my own confidence through our path to seizure alert and response training! Obedience training has come in clutch!
