Dog Training Elite

Staying and Coming Training

Our trainers at Dog Training Elite teach commands like "down" and "place," training your dog to stay in position until given a release command like "come" or "heel." This approach builds discipline and control, making your dog more responsive without the need for constant repetition.

Our staying and coming training focuses on real-world situations so your dog learns to listen even in distracting environments. Whether it's busy parks, public spaces, or social settings, your dog will gain the skills to stay calm and obedient when it matters most.

We also emphasize building a strong connection between you and your dog. Clear communication is key to success in behavior training, and our methods help your dog understand your expectations in various situations. This improves their responsiveness and strengthens your bond.

If you're looking for reliable training methods, contact us today.

FAQs

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in your local area.
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.

    Our 2 pups began training at 4 months old and we are so glad we enrolled them with Elite Dog Training! It’s been 6 weeks since they completed their week of training and they have been excellent at recall and obedience. Even after the hurricane and we had no power and couldn’t use their collars, they retained their training the majority of the time. We highly recommend the competent, professional trainers that really love what they do and love the dogs too!

    I was diagnosed with Autism as an adult over three years ago. I've been trying to find a way to afford a service animal since then. I almost gave up... the dogs I was finding were upwards of $40k! I couldn't afford it... When I found David at Dog Training Elite, he offered training at a tenth of the price I was finding, I just had to acquire the pup on my own. I wanted to train a rescue instead of getting a dog from a breeder--David came with me to help me pick out a trainable pup at no cost! Been training with them for about 5 months now and my pup is excellently behaved in public and at work, at only 8 months old! I couldn't possibly recommend these guys any more strongly.

    These guys are wonderful and I am so grateful to have them training my sweet girl right now. I've had a lot of extra requests and they've taken care of my needs above and beyond thus far. I expect to continue to work with them on an ongoing basis and other our other dog soon!! Thumbs up for Jake, McCall, Meggie, and Oakley as well as Jeff, who did some home training with us earlier this year and is now diligently working on training me to be a better and more consistent handler High five ✋ to these guys!! I'm going to enroll my other pup very soon in the advanced training:) Thanks again, Laura Uhle

    They have been awesome with training my lab, Harley. Harley had a stubborn streak but with their help he is doing great. Our trainer Adakias has been great to work with, understanding and accommodating. I highly recommend them!

    From the initial evaluation of the situation with our dogs through the final training session, Scott and DTE have been excellent. The thorough assessment from DTE resulted with us switching which dog needed the training. As training progressed, we included both dogs with wonderful results. Scott, thanks for the expertise, experienced handling and insight you provided us. I would definitely recommend DTE.

    Everyone who works at DTE is of the utmost professionalism and courteousness. The level of knowledge is amazing and I could not ask for a better team to work not only training the dogs, but the owners as well. The compassion and generosity experienced was so wonderful. I will be recommending DTE to everyone!

    Josh, Lexi and Hayley were amazing to work with! After completing the 4 week dog therapy camp, I feel confident bringing my pup to work with me on a daily basis. The support after camp was over is also really impressive and helpful. I couldn’t be more pleased and I would recommend them to anyone.

    Brennan is my one and only dog trainer. I got my dog army last summer and she has come so far because of all the work that Brennan has put in with us. If you need to train your animal to be a service dog, listen to your commands, or do fun tricks then sign up with this guy!!!

    I can't begin to explain how much I appreciate Elite and, more specifically, John Herra, for helping us bring out the very best in Gage. John was the perfect trainer for our oversized, misunderstood darling boy. Please don't hesitate to call and begin right away. You'll be thankful you did.

    I have a Chesapeake she is 10 months old and the training has been great. She sit's and stays as well as heals so far and it has only been 8 visits and 2 group visits so far. Best experience with dog training I have ever had. The dog responds very well and is getting even better as time goes by. They train me as well, so I do not confuse the dog with strange commands. Great Job!!!! James T Hartford

    We and our pup have had a great experience with McCall and Maggie and Dog Training Elite. We have an anxious and sometimes a stubborn little man and they took their time to work with him where he was at and help him grow. I am so grateful for McCall and Maggie they are both amazing trainers and really helped us at pick up to make sure we were all on the same page and his training continued at home. By the end of his first week out pup was excited for drop off to see his trainers and his fur friends. We excited to continue working with dog training elite with their in-home and group trainings in the future.

    Josh did an amazing job working with our German Shepard-husky mix, Bear! I liked having a combination of in-home, outdoor, & public location sessions for training. You have to make sure you are willing to put in the time, but the results are great, and it’s so worth it!
