Destructive Chewing and Digging Training

Destructive chewing and digging can cause serious damage to your home and yard. At Dog Training Elite, we tackle these behaviors by identifying their root causes, such as boredom, anxiety, or lack of boundaries. Our goal is to provide lasting solutions that prevent further damage and create a more peaceful environment for you and your dog.

Our destructive chewing and digging training focuses on structured activities and consistent discipline to redirect your dog’s energy. We implement strategies like interactive toys and planned play sessions to keep your dog engaged, reducing the temptation to chew or dig. Clear boundaries and regular routines will help your dog understand acceptable behaviors.

We also consider environmental factors that may contribute to these destructive habits. Dogs often act out when they lack a designated space or feel stressed. By helping you establish a structured environment—whether through crate training or creating specific play areas—we reduce the triggers for chewing and digging.

If you're ready to stop the damage and regain control, contact us today to create a customized plan.

    We’ve been working with Red on Bernie’s therapy dog skills. We always benefit from his professional and knowledgeable teaching. Plus, he makes it fun!

    Dog Training Elite and Larrisa have been amazing! I tried a few different trainers and felt disappointed. My puppy is fearful of people and we were having issues with excessive barking, but Larissa helped him become way more confident and far better mannered. I plan to keep working with DTE to hopefully help my pup become a service dog, and will work with them with any dogs I have in the future.

    Mr.Craig is a great trainer. I found the company using google search. I did not regret my decision. My dog begin training at 5 months and he has work hard to get we’re his at. Group class every weekend is great opportunity for any dog to get socialized. I loved my experience here.

    My husband and I wanted a well-trained, well-behaved dog from the start, and choosing this training facility has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our puppy. The results have been amazing, and he absolutely loves going there. A huge thank you to Matt, Emma, Alex, Alecia, and everyone at the facility for all of their hard work, care, and loving Bear! It’s clear how much they truly care about the dogs and their progress. The training has absolutely been worth the investment, and we plan to continue with more classes in the future. We can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for an amazing training experience for their dog!

    Anna did a great job helping to make our dog, Archer make a transition from being a stray on the street to a loving, well mannered and obedient dog. We highly recommend and are very happy with the instruction we received!

    Cheyenne and Chelsea are amazing, sweet, kind and patient. We have been looking for a service dog for our son for a while. They have helped and considered us every step of the way, offering every option possible to meet our needs. We cant thank them enough. There genuine and actually want to help families and people with disabilities. We recently acquired our service dog Jake, through them and they were fantastic the whole way through. When they say unlimited support they mean it. They helped me build confidence in myself to make sure I was ready for the job. If you need help connecting with a future service dog look no further they will help you every step of the way. They got your back and their training help is excellent, professional and ethical.

    Rhett has been awesome to work with. They had a trainer that didn't work out for our first lesson but they didn't count that against us and since then he has been amazing. He is great not only getting the dog started on the commands but also teaching me and my family how to handle the different situations.

    We did the training camp and are now starting the group lessons. The arrangements are not cheap, but the instructors are very helpful and always willing to listen. McCall helped us with additional requests for other commands, especially drop it. We're comfortable with the investment because for the price, we're buying a lifetime of support. ADDENDUM: Meggie came to our house today and did our first in house visit today. She was fantastic - very calm, unrestrained, and our dog took to her quickly. We really alleviated the home visit and will need to work on the homework to ensure things stick.

    The staff were so kind and supportive. My pup was excited to see them every morning and they were very understanding and patient with my own needs. I’m very excited for our future. Here’s my fella resting near me inside a restaurant for the first time!

    Elite Dog Training has been such a positive experience for both me and my baby Manon as we begin her service dog journey. Rhett, Kaitlyn, Reina, and even the few lessons I had with Jaime and Parker have all been incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. What I appreciated most is how they truly listened to my concerns without judgment and always made me feel comfortable asking questions. Their guidance, patience, and encouragement have made a huge difference in helping us build a strong foundation. You can tell they genuinely care about both the dogs and their people. I’m very grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, compassionate, and effective dog training.

    My wife and I entered our boys into the 2 week program with DTE. We have 4 Great Danes and our oldest boys have stopped getting along, it got so bad that our 3 year old, Jasper, attacked our 4 year old, Kronk. They are both about 150lbs each and very hard to control but they are our children, so we came to DTE as a long shot to hopefully keep our family together! It is currently the end of week 1 of our 2 week training and our boys were in the same room today! Jasper tried to be mean to Kronk but within seconds my wife was able to get him under control and refocused on her. This is an absolute testament to the work the DTE team does with them during the day because on day 1 Jasper was so strong, big and determined that it took 2 trainers to even try to control him, by day 2 it only took 1 trainer, by day 3 Jasper was walking and not pulling on the leash at all! A 90 year old grandma could have walked him on day 3!!! Kristi, Jeremy and the rest of the team at DTE are amazing and clearly know the minds of dogs! They are knowledgeable, caring but keep good calm boundaries, and really know how to teach the dogs what to do and how to listen! It’s been amazing to watch and to be a part of and I can’t wait to see how week 2 goes!! So before you give up your baby, go talk to Kristi and let her and her team help your pup understand how to have manners! They gave us our family back! It’s worth it!

    I am very happy that my dog and I are learning so many great things from Dog Training Elite of Utah County! It is very exciting to see my 6 month old puppy learn so many new things! Our trainer today was Meagan and she is amazing! In a matter of minutes my puppy learned to “Place” And I also learned how to reinforce what she learned today. It’s a fun and rewarding experience to watch my puppy learn all these wonderful lessons! Thank you Meagan from Dog Training Elite! Shaun M
