Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

Our Dog Training Process in Bristol County, MA

Our rescue dog Maggie came to us as a puppy and in spite of all the best intentions and love, she (and many of her littler mates in other homes) has been reactive in multiple ways. We used to host gatherings with friends and family, but since having Maggie, our house has had to be closed due to her unpredictable and antisocial behavior. However, we loved her completely and knew she could be the best dog if we had some help. Elite training was just the program for us. It is intensive and thorough and expects effort from both the dog and the owners, but the outcome is amazing! The trainers, specifically Matt, equipped us with the tools and skills to successfully take Maggie for walks, into public settings and we can even have friends come over again! We have learned so many ways to help Maggie succeed. She has worked hard to overcome her anxieties to meet our expectations with the help of this training. Thank you to Dog Training Elite for giving us the dog we knew she could be.— Letitia Bartow

My boyfriend and I just moved to the area and were looking for a trainer for my 4 year old Dutch Shepard. I am so happy we found Dog Training Elite. From the first time we met Matt at our free consultation, it was clear he understood our goals with our dog. My dog can be difficult and reactive so I am always hesitant when bring her into new situations. Matt helped us get out of our comfort zone and taught us new techniques that have been extremely beneficial. He was able to cater to our goals and adjust the trainings as needed. We have seen so much improvement with our dog throughout our sessions and I could not recommend this training program enough!— Olivia Nortrup

Marcus and Barbara delivered an amazing program and showed incredible skills in training my dog Didi. They were not only patient with my dog, but also with me as an owner to learn best practices and techniques to get better results. Regarding the program itself, one of the things I was concerned with was the E-collar, but I was surprised that majority of the training is about positive reinforcement and love (lots of pets for Didi) and the training collar is not at all what one might think. Both Marcus and Barbara showed commitment and care for dogs, and it made me feel extremely comfortable and happy with the choice. The improvement on both Didi and I started since day 1, so I cannot say enough good things about Dog Training Elite and their trainers Marcus and Barbara.— Massimo Nardi

Our dog has come a long way with the 6 private sessions. She is much easier to handle. Is much calmer and seems happier. My only con is one of the trainers seemed new and not quite as knowledgeable. I asked about a specific problem about our dog chewing and she had no answer. However the next visit Jamie had a brilliant suggestion.— Laurie Duquette

The best decision we ever made for our sweet Augusta, was to work with Dog Training Elite. We had the most incredible training provided by Matt. Matt's dedication, passion, support and expertise are second to none. The training is as much for the humans as it is for the dog. Maybe more. I learned a ton, and I've bonded with my best friend Augusta like I never could have imagined. Thank you!!!— Red Curry

From our first lesson, when Marcus was able to pat my dog, Gracie, I knew I made the right choice for a dog trainer. Only 2-4 people have been able to touch her since I’ve had her (6 years). Needless to say, I was amazed. We also worked with Jaime. She was great to work with as well with home sessions and a couple sessions at Home Depot, where Gracie handled the noise and people really well. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite!— Robin Mael

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite!! I got my dog, Mabel, in December of 2022, and she was a rescue who came from a high-kill shelter. She experienced trauma and never had a real home, and she was very reactive and afraid of other dogs. I live downtown, where there are so many loud and scary things for a nervous doggo. I spent the first few months very stressed and afraid every time I walked her. Going from a shelter to living in a busy city was difficult for her to handle. I finally started contacting dog trainers, and Dog Training Elite was the only one who offered to come to our home and conduct a free assessment. I could tell immediately that Marcus cared for my dog and wanted to see her happy. With the assistance of the E collar and Prong Collar and consistent training on my part with Mabel at least five days a week, I am so happy to say that Mabel's reactivity rarely happens anymore. Marcus and the other fantastic trainers at DTE have truly changed our lives. Using both the E collar and Prong collar made the most significant difference for us, and I am so grateful that the trainers were there to teach me how to use these tools properly. Training with DTE's guidance has made my and Mabel's relationship stronger and has led me to know now how to maintain the training and continue it. We are currently working on off-leash training with her now and going to group classes! I highly recommend all the trainers at DTE. They are all very knowledgeable, will answer any questions, will work around your schedule and come to you, and they all genuinely care for your dog, which is fantastic! If you are looking for any training for your dog, they should be your first call!— Laurie Shorrosh

Nyla loves her weekly meet-ups with pups her own age. She otherwise wouldn’t have that socialization opportunity. She’s almost done with puppy classes, graduating to adult training. Very exciting! Thank you, Marcus and Michaela, for your patience, commitment, and love for our rambunctious Va’Nyla Bean.—
