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.

    I am so happy that I found David and Niki and Dog Training Elite!! I have wanted to train a dog for pet therapy for many years but knew nothing about it. David and Niki have been so kind, professional and encouraging. My dog has learned so much and I look forward to the rest of our work. I can't recommend them enough!!

    Dog Training Elite has been an incredible experience for us. Our trainer, Marshall, is outstanding—not only in training our dog Abby, but also in guiding us as owners. In just a month, we’ve seen a substantial difference in Abby’s behavior and confidence. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite and Marshall to anyone looking for effective, supportive training.

    Kim has been working with Teddy and I. Teddy is a smart cavapoo. And spoiled rotten but each day we get better. The real test will be when the 6 grandchildren show up all at once. He is what Kim calls a Velcro dog. Very attached to me. Thanks Kim for all your help and I look forward to being able to gather in the park and learn more.

    (Translated by Google) Very kind 😊 She explained everything in detail so my puppy could understand, and even though I don't speak much English, we used a translator. I'm very happy, thank you 🙂 This is my 4th session.

    Tina was amazing! She worked with us on our tight time constraints. The leash pulling and reactivity to people has improved significantly. If you’re considering training for your pup I highly recommend dog training elite emerald coast!

    My second class with Elijah’s virtual dog obedience training was incredible. His calm, clear approach was easy to follow and incredibly effective—even online. Watching Elijah show techniques with his own dogs was amazing! They obviously adore him and follow every command. Elijah truly cares and explains things in a way that makes the training stick. Can’t wait to work with my Birdie this week. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I have had a wonderful experience using this service. Our dog Melo is nervous and reactive, but thanks to the training, we saw noticeable improvement in a very short time. They have been amazing, and we would absolutely recommend them.

    Dog Training Elite is hands down the best trainer we could have chosen for our Golden Retriever puppy. We initially started with a different (cheaper) training option, but quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit and made the switch to Dog Training Elite and we are so glad we did. The progress we’ve seen in our puppy from 5 months old to 8–10 months old has been night and day. The care, dedication, and effort René and Beth put into both us and our dog has exceeded anything we could have expected. From in-home training to public outings (Home Depot, Bass Pro, etc.), as well as the lifetime group classes, the experience has been outstanding. We highly recommend René and Beth to anyone with a Golden Retriever puppy (or any dog), and we will 100% be using Dog Training Elite for all of our future dogs. P.S. René and Beth have the cutest and most well-behaved pups you’ll ever meet.

    David at Dog Training Elite has been the best dog trainer we've ever worked with! He is easy going, understands dogs and makes training our new puppy so fun and do-able! All this incredible wisdom is showing up in our new puppy. We are training her to be a service dog for my daughter, and the difference from when she started and where she is now has astonished me! I can see this dream coming true! Please call David and ask him how he can help you get your doggo from point A to point B. He's full of wisdom, he's generous with his time and it's obvious he cares deeply for both his human clients and his four legged clients too! Thank you, David! I am forever grateful for your support!! -Leigh and Scylla the pup!

    It's only the first day and Im learning a lot! I will try my hardest to pay more attention to Ghost and to correct him before he gets the option to react.

    We had a great experience with dog training elite!! Michael was so patient and attentive with our pup and was able to help us in all the areas we were concerned about! He was always available via text or call if we had questions and I felt so supported through out the whole training process! I’m excited to continue with group classes! Highly recommend!!

    Mike Kwan is phenomenal. He has an incredible ability to understand and connect with my dog and family. What sets Mike apart is his consistency, patience, and intuitive handling skills. Every session is structured, positive, and engaging. I have seen remarkable progress in my dog’s behavior, confidence, and overall well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective dog handler.

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite Broward has been over Five Star all the way. The owner Gus personally came to our house to meet our wonderful Pitt Bull, Ruby. She’s a wonderful dog but was a leash puller and would bark at other dogs when on her leash and in the car. The training first begins with at home personal training with my son and I. A training collar comes as part of the training program. Was very happy with her progress and after the 6 private sessions, they offer unlimited group sessions at many different locations near where we live. The actual trainer who comes to the house, Matt is amazing and so knowledgeable and works with both the dog and the owner. Last Saturday we attended the first group session and it was also amazing. I was surprised how many people used Dog Training Elite Broward. I highly recommend them for both dog and their owners.
