Meet the Team

I can not express how incredibly greatful I am to Michael and Gosia for their help with my Rottie Gunner. Let me give you a little background on our story. My husband and I got Gunner at the very beginning of pandemic ( before everything shut down). I was doing everything I was suppose to do to socialize him. We signed up for the puppy obedience classes, taking him to various places, etc. then everything shut down and I was unable to continue with training and socialization. Fast forward to a year and a half later. I found a trainer on line that “ specializes in obedience with bigger breeds .” He came to the house for first session and it was horrific! From then on I vowed I’d never trust a dog trainer again. This past fall( 3 yrs later) I was walking at the park on a Sunday morning and I observed a group of 5 or 6 dogs with their owners , I quickly realized they were there in a training session. As I walked around the track for an our I kept observing the trainers working with the group and was very impressed . Needless to say When the class was over I went up to Michael to speak with him about my situation and past experience. He was so very kind and professional that I decided to book an in home consultation for Gunner. His wife Gosia came to the house to meet with Gunner and within 2 minutes I knew they were the right fit. They are kind, professional and compassionate . They gave Gunner and I the confidence and guidance we needed to achieve the goals We needed. Michael and Gosia are the absolute best!! Gunner and I will be forever grateful to them for all they did for us.

Outstanding Experience with Dog Training Elite Northeast Atlanta Patience and Professionalism That Made All the Difference We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Dog Training Elite Northeast Atlanta! From the very first session, Gosia and Michael demonstrated exceptional patience and professionalism, not only with our anxious dogs but, more importantly, with us. They took the time to understand our unique needs and never rushed the process, making sure both we and our dogs felt comfortable every step of the way. Our dogs have always been a bit nervous around new people and situations, but Michael and Gosia approached them with such gentle care and understanding. Their calm and encouraging demeanor helped our pets gradually come out of their shells and gain confidence. It was quite emotional for me to watch our dogs enjoy the company of someone other than our family. The surprising part of this experience was that we were trained to work with our dogs. We were given the priceless gift of being able to help our dogs be more obedient, confident, and secure in their environment. Every technique was explained thoroughly, and we always felt supported and encouraged to ask questions or express concerns. The progress we have seen in our dogs has been truly remarkable. They are more relaxed, responsive, and happy, which has brought so much peace to our home. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, expertise, and kindness shown by Michael and Gosia at Dog Training Elite Northeast Atlanta. We will never be able to thank them enough and highly recommend them to anyone searching for effective, compassionate training for their beloved pets!

I can’t say enough great things about Dog Training Elite Northeast Atlanta. Boomer earned his therapy dog certification, and Izzy completed her Platinum Obedience program — both with the help of Mike and Gosia, who are truly exceptional. They’ve treated us like family from day one — always friendly, approachable, and incredibly patient. They explain every part of the training process in a way that makes everything feel manageable and encouraging. The growth I’ve seen in both dogs has been amazing. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares, this is the place.

Dog Training Elite is really THE elite training available for you dog! I have two German Shepard dogs….one 11 and one 1 1/2. The one on one training provided by Mike and Gosia provided exactly what both pups needed to “nudge” them into learning commands designed to enhance their safety as well as make our afternoon walks, outings, and social trips enjoyable and worry-free for them and me. I can’t recommend them enough!

Our dog Pixie just graduated on 10-1-25! This training is worth every penny. We had a dog out of control, now we are in control. The key is consistency. Work with your dog daily. Michael and his wife Gosia are the consummate professionals. We wholeheartedly recommend their training services!

Our “owner surrendered shelter. dog” was extremely reactive.( That’s why she was turned in.) I’m sure she had a lot of childhood trauma. She was reactive to people as well as other dogs, and I actually pried her jaws open to release a small dog from her mouth. She was great with us, but we lived in a constant state of trepidation with her behavior around other living things. I hesitated more than once spending money on the Platinum Program but after just nine private training sessions, we have a new dog. It was worth every penny and we’re not done, but the change has been jaw- dropping. We never could’ve done this on our own, even with many YouTube videos🤣Mike and Gosia were always on time , consistent , patient and always willing to help immediately. We are grateful for their Professionalism and kindness

We started our rescue German shepherd, Kira, with Dog Training Elite just a few months ago after her first birthday. She is such a sweet pup but would never listen when she was excited (so 90% of the time). It was stressful to take her anywhere because we never knew how she would behave. We tried training her ourselves but progress was slow and not always in the right direction. Through this training we discovered the importance of consistency. My husband and I had the same goals for Kira, but unintentionally approached it in different ways. These lessons are more for you than the dog because they make sure everyone is aligned with commands, timing, inflection, and more. This program is great because it teaches YOU how to train your dog. We worked with Kira daily for about 15-20 minutes between the weekly lessons and that’s why we saw so much progress so quickly. We purchased the platinum package and have been so grateful we did ever since. The convenience of a trainer coming to our house every week was wonderful since my husband and I work different schedules. The lessons were practical and enjoyable for both us and the dog. Kira has since graduated and we are able to take her places we never could have before. She behaves like an entirely different dog. In fact, we get compliments from strangers on how well behaved she is! Recently we were able to have dinner at a nice restaurant outside with lots of foot traffic within a few feet of us. Kira stayed under my chair the entire meal until we let her greet the waiter at the end. With our package we get unlimited group classes. These classes are wonderful because it exposes Kira to other dogs and distractions while working on her training. They are fun for all of us and we intend to keep going even though she has since “graduated”. The reason this program is so successful, though, is because of Mike and Gosia. They are so good at what they do and make every lesson/class engaging for the dogs and for us. I will never stop recommending Mike and Gosia to everyone. Before this program my husband had deemed our dog “untrainable” and I can happily say that this program has successfully proven him wrong.

After several years of wanting to train our Pancho, whom we rescued four years ago, when trying to put our expectations on the table versus reality, we realized how important it was for our well-being as a whole, for that reason we began the search, the Dog Elite page was one of the first to appear, after carefully reading the excellent opinions, we decided to contact them, our first interview was with gosia and from the first moment we felt that we were going down the best path, excellent sounds like an understatement when it comes to describing their services, from knowledge, warmth and responsibility to feeling part of this great family, infinite thanks to both of you!

We have had such a great experience working with Gosia and Mike. The training has been exactly what we were looking for to raise our GSP to be a well mannered companion. Highly recommend their professional teaching and guidance.

We are so happy with the training that we received from Dog Training Elite. Gosia and Michael were fantastic every step of the way, from personal one-on-one training to the group training. Our pup Rocky has been doing so much better since we started training. I highly recommend!

We highly recommend Dog Training Elite if you are in the Woodstock Georgia area. Working with Michael & Gosia improved our pup’s manners, listening & response, and ability to follow directions. It makes taking my 75 lb dog on walks and out in public so much more enjoyable and less stressful. Most importantly, I got training on how to be an excellent dog owner and how to communicate with my dog. Micheal & Gosia provide practical, efficient training strategies and customize the instruction and practice to your dog. They are great with communication and scheduling. They are kind, trustworthy people whom you can be comfortable inviting into your home and whom you will enjoy getting to know. I also highly recommend the group classes to practice what you and your dog are learning in the real world. It’s a lot fun, too!

We just completed the Platinum Program with Michael and Gosia for our Shiba Inu, Daiyo, and we were very pleased with our experience. Mike was our main trainer, and he was fantastic at guiding us through Daiyo’s reactivity issues, giving us practical tools and strategies we can continue using every day. It’s important to understand that this isn’t a “quick fix” — it’s an ongoing training process. But thanks to Mike’s guidance, we now feel much more confident and capable of handling Daiyo, both at home and in challenging public situations. One of the best parts of the Platinum Program is the continued support: they’re just a call away if Daiyo ever needs extra help or if any new problems come up. Michael and Gosia are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about both the dogs and their owners. We’re so grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for effective, long-term training with reliable, supportive trainers!

We are beyond grateful for the incredible work Gosia and Mike have done with our dogs, Cora and Lyra! Their expertise is truly unmatched. They’ve helped us with everything from general obedience and commands to leash walking and reactivity. Their dedication to both our dogs and us as owners has made all the difference. They’re flexible, communicative, and always go above and beyond. Simply amazing people and phenomenal trainers. We highly, highly recommend them.

They are super nice to my dog and super good at what they do! They are friendly and kind and are very skilled.

I cannot recommend Mike and Gosia enough! They worked a miracle on our one year old golden retriever.

We are so happy we used this training company for our 4-month old golden retriever. While cute, he was out of control and unpredictable. To be honest, I was a little afraid of him when he would snap at me while trying to pick him up. I called this company and Michael came to the rescue very quickly. After only 3 months of weekly in-home training with Michael and Gosia our puppy did a near-180. Our puppy LOVED their visits and I looked forward to them, too. It was amazing to see that our dog was actually capable being obedient when they trained him (and us!). You have to keep up the work but our now 1-year old golden is a pretty good dog and we are grateful we found Dog Training Elite Northeast Atlanta.

100% would recommend Dog Training Elite Northwest Atlanta! We reached out to Michael and Gosia in desperation after our overprotective black lab tried to chew through the basement door when we had a babysitter. We had resigned ourselves to the fact that we just couldn't have anyone in our home when we weren't there. They came over to assess Charlie and explained his behavior in a way that gave us hope. Their expertise and patience with Charlie (and us) has decreased Charlie's anxiety and has brought out the best sides of him. We are so grateful for their expertise! Their one on one training sessions have been game changers, and we are excited to have the continued support through group sessions going forward.

Great people who do an amazing job helping my puppy turn into a well trained dog!

Highly recommended - sought out a trainer for our 6 month old pup, and after extensive research, we decided to go with Dog Training Elite. They did not disappoint! Michael (our lead trainer) was knowledgeable, detailed, informative, flexible and most of all PATIENT! If you are looking for in-home training, this is it!

Dog Training Elite was amazing!!! They helped us so much with our French Bulldog Poppy. I would 10/10 recommend them for dog training and would use them in the future again.
