Separation Anxiety Training for Dogs

Dog Training Elite Suncoast has gotten my dog, Kelev, into tip-top shape to be ready to pass a therapy dog certification test. I look forward to having Kelev help and comfort people through Collaborative Divorces and become a formal member of my team in my law practice!

I would give this group 100 stars if that was an option! I found myself with an unruly young lab puppy (Maisy)that I feared was untrainable. She was jumping on people, constantly in the pool, barking all time, etc. We called Dog Training Elite to seek help - and boy did they deliver! Nate came to the rescue as our trainer and is beyond words amazing. The first day I expressed doubt, but his calm confidence left me feeling hopeful. Nate and the entire group that supports him are patient knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand our dog’s behavior and needs. The training methods were clear, effective, and based on positive reinforcement, which made a noticeable difference in a short amount of time. Ten weeks and lots of practice later I have an amazing companion in Maisy; we are both happier and enjoy spending time together. This program is worth every penny. Nancy Jessee

Great program for anyone looking for obedience and/or service training for their dog. Rachel & Daniel have great passion for what they do, and it shows in every interaction they have with you and your dog. 100% recommended. Thank you!!

Henri and I began working with DTE Western Chicago in April 2024 and it has been an incredible experience! The trainers are personable and skilled, really understanding and working with the individual characteristics of each dog. Having purchased the Platinum package, Henri has access to everything we need to succeed. We started with individual training in our home, progressing to group classes, passing 3 levels of Canine Good Citizenship tests, and the Therapy Dog exam alongside his 6 handlers/Licensed Therapists! We continue to take advantage of DTE's ongoing support and group class for training maintenance and learning new things. Henri is working at Family Service Association in Elgin, and has joined our staff culture bringing creativity, warmth, and enthusiasm to all of our agency activities. During his working hours, Henri participates in Individual & Family Therapy for children and adolescents. Henri can help his clients with: Building self-confidence Relaxation techniques Storytelling & reading Social skills training Enhancing relationship skills Sharing feelings Emotional support Thank you DTE trainers for helping us shape Henri into such an amazing companion!

I’m going to be really honest here, because this comes from the heart. After a really bad experience with dog training in the past, I had pretty much given up. I sent my dog Nitro off to a trainer and it failed—and that kind of disappointment sticks with you. On top of that, hearing all the stereotypes about Huskies even mixed breed being “untrainable” got in my head, and I truly started to believe maybe it just wasn’t possible. Then I got my Pomsky, Nova. I’m so bonded to him and him me, and something in me said to try again… even though I was scared of wasting time, money, and trust on another failed experience. That’s when I found Dog Training Elite (DTE)… and everything changed. As you all know facebook seems to listen… their page came across my feed. Jeremy, Kristi, and their team didn’t just train my dog—they believed in us when I was struggling to believe in myself. They supported me, encouraged me, and even cried with me through the tough moments. When I felt like Nova wasn’t going to get it, they didn’t give up on us. They pushed us through. They made my little velcro gremlin fur ball into an unbelievable independent confident well mannered little obedient dog. Now we are a still a work in progress as people, we are never perfect in life but I’m telling you for my 6 month old “sassy pants” to completely flip like he did in just 2weeks I can’t wait to see how much more he’s going to change and grow and learn in next weeks to come and our journey from here on out 😭❣️🐾🐾 we will be working towards him becoming a service dog . And somehow… they made what felt impossible, possible. If you have a dog that you think is “too much,” or someone has told you there’s no chance—please don’t give up. Pick up the phone and call Dog Training Elite. They don’t just train dogs… they change  lives. Forever grateful ❤️

We have an almost three year old mini Aussie doodle, Bindi. She was a sweet, smart dog with lots of energy and love. We had a hard time training her at home so it was difficult taking her all the places we wanted to take her - from simple walks down the street, patio cafes, etc. she pulled so hard on her leash she choked herself, got super anxious about anything she saw or heard - was ready to bark or run after it, etc. We tried a lot of things but nothing really worked. I started researching formal training and landed with Dog Elite. We met to learn more about training and signed up Bindi for the next session. That was Feb-Mar. She’s a very different dog now and we are better owners. We appreciated the videos to help reinforce training for us and Bindi. We’ve attended the Saturday morning trainings and continue to learn more. Bindi loves kids and people in general but would jump on the and get overly excited. She still gets excited to meet people, but is calmer and doesn’t jump on anyone. She does not react to every sight and sound in every situation, which is better for all of us. We are able to take her more places because she follows commands so well and knows how to behave. Bindi is much more relaxed (and so are we) and we enjoy her so much more - from shorter outings like a walk on a trail to a brewery visit to long road trips - it’s all easier, more relaxed and more fun for all of us. We still have more training to do but it’s about one month after her initial training so we feel fantastic about the progress. We are so grateful for the transformation and look forward to continuing learning and training Bindi with Dog Elite’s help. They patiently meet your dog and you where you are and help you understand why you need to handle behaviors and situations in certain way. We highly recommend their services!

I was impressed with the trainers and cant wait to work more with them. So far everything is going well

Very professional, knowledgeable. So excited to start this journey. My pups loved Rich! Chloe may take the lead when she has treats! Great first session!

Nathan is an excellent trainer. He is encouraging and gives you confidence and patience in working with your pet.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dog Training Elite. I had Amber for all of my training sessions and she was professional and personable the entire time. She taught me so much! I learned a great deal, likely more than my dog who was an absolute natural and took to the training extremely well. I sincerely feel that my bond with my dog has been made so much stronger after having worked with Dog Training Elite. I have no problems taking my dog into public spaces or walking her. Before training she would pull and try to sniff everything possible. My dog seems so much more regulated and in control. The training has been worth every penny!

We have been working with Alaina, and its amazing. Little tips/ tricks each lesson to keep forward progress going. Penny loves to work and lives for the praise. Alaina has helped so much with Penny and makes things over all awesome, to have a pup as a first timer

Good first experience. She was very helpful to understand what is needed to be done.

Just had an excellent session with Tiffany! She clearly knows what she is doing!! My dog is responding so well to the training. Thank you!

Dog Training Elite has been amazing to work with. The trainers explain everything they are asking you to do and why. They have worked with our schedules as well. We tried online training during COVID with another company, boarding training with another, but no one has really helped us with our anxious Frenchie as much as this team has so far. We are now excited to try group training which we would not have considered a few months ago!

The team is extremely knowledgeable and have a very dialed in training program. 2 weeks of training and I feel like my puppy is set up to succeed forever. 10/10 would recommend

From the very first session Jason made training fun and stress free for our 2 year old mini poodle. His team made everything possible to turn our anxious dog in to a calmed and confident companion and a service dog Thank you Jason, Iliana and Laurent for making all this hard work to come true!

Hard to break my old habits but Jrlsue really helped with fig walking which we really need She explained why hand commands even if things she knew work better than starting with verbal commands And she taught us mire crate time us ok Ty ty ty Can’t until next session

We were so lucky to find Dog Training Elite of Northern Utah! I knew we needed a service dog, but didn't know who to trust. When we started our puppy with them, I saw big improvements even in the first week, and now we have a truly dependable service dog. They really care, and are extremely professional. Zero complaints, only gratitude. Would not hesitate to send anyone to them.

“Had a great experience with Dog Training Elite. Jess was excellent—very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly. I feel much more confident working with my dog now. Highly recommend!”
