Elite, Award Winning Dog Training Services in Baton Rouge & New Orleans

Ollie is a 16# Terrier Mix we adopted from a local rescue 2 years ago. He came to us with serious problems- wild eyes(wouldn’t make eye contact), repetitive behaviors (running for hours in patterns, chasing lights and shadows), extreme fear and anxiety over separation, loud noises, car rides etc. We watched training videos, read books on dog behavior, had 4 sessions with a prior trainer, spent hours playing interactive dog toys, rocking him to calm him down and trying to provide a peaceful, safe environment. It felt like we had a special needs dog and indeed he had most of the characteristics of Canine Compulsive Disorder. We worried constantly. Medication from the vet, calming chews, and working with him over time helped to some degree, but we couldn’t seem to get past his episodes of extreme anxiety which would override any progress. Then along came Ed and Betsy and staff of DTE. Despite Ollie’s problems, they were certain they could help. The changes in him are unbelievable! He is calmer, happier, and more trusting. Though we are continuing to work with him, Ollie’s repetitive behaviors are rare and he actually rode in the car without shrieking and jumping hysterically. Although Ollie is still a work in progress, DTE has been a God send and has given us a sweet boy that we can actually enjoy. The Dog Training Elite team have been professional, friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, and only want the best outcome for the dog and the owner and we are so appreciative. Thank you Dog Training Elite.

Ed and Betsy are great to work with. They are hardworking and determined dog training specialists. I believe their long, varied experience is a big factor in their overall effectiveness. It is amazing to watch them direct the dogs and simultaneously instruct others on what they are doing. I have watched them get my dog to do new things in minutes. They are truly amazing. I don’t think there is anyone else in Louisiana that can get the results they do.

We are extremely pleased with the training our dog received. Betsy is an incredible trainer! She is patient with both our dog and with us! She is well versed in her field and will be using her and Dog Training Elite for all of our dogs.

Ed and Betsy are absolutely passionate about helping improve the lives of dogs and their owners. I would recommend that anyone who wants a well trained and happy dog contact them. They will be the last dog trainers you ever need!

I can say with 100% confidence that Betsy and dog training elite are the best dog trainers around. I witnessed 180 degree transition of a hyper lab to a service dog in training. The lab is fully obedient and maintained his loving personality. I’ve asked DTE of southeast louisiana to train my 13 lb anxious 3 yr old as a result. They are the best! More to come!

I can not recommend Dog Training Elite Baton Rouge enough! Ed and Betsy are prompt, professional, knowledgeable and I would use them for training again in a heartbeat. The entire experience has exceeded expectations from initial training inquiries to strategies moving forward. I would recommend DTE BR to anybody looking for reliable, convenient training.

The owners are phenomenal! Not only do they love dogs, which means so much, but they are excellent at what they do! They have helped re-train my older dog and I never thought that was possible! Not to mention their dogs are the epitome of what a wonderfully trained pup would exemplify. I appreciate their dedication and love of our furry family members and after getting to know them through this process- not only are they great at what they do but they are smart, caring, and all around incredible people! I think they have done an amazing job and you can't go wrong with picking Dog Training Elite in SE Louisiana and the Baton Rouge area! Thank you Ed and Betsey, you are true gems!
