Positive Dog Training in Carmel / Fishers, IN

We did the two week training camp for our dog and it completely changed his behaviors. We didn't have to fight him on walks anymore or worry about him dashing out of the house if a door opened to the outside. He listens to our commands and we have peace of mind knowing that he has a solid foundation for us to continue training him into the future. All of the trainers were extremely friendly, caring, and helpful. Getting footage of training every day also helped us to do training at home. Overall I can't recommend their services enough - we're extremely grateful!

I could not recommend Dog Training Elite any more! Everywhere I go people ask me how I got my dog to behave as well as he does, literally on a daily basis! I always send them to DTE because they are outstanding. They know how to address every bump in the road that comes up, and really care about you and your dog. Doug and Elijah have been working with me and my dog Oakley for a long time, and the other trainers are all wonderful too. Great for service dog training or obedience training. So nice to have a manageable life again after the puppy craziness that was going on in our household😆 Oakley also LOVES them and genuinely enjoys working with them. If you’re on the fence about working with DTE, do it! The best investment you’ll make.

great people with customized assistance to better meet uoir needs

Love the trainers and their dedication. They work so well with my girl. Thank you all for everything and a big shout to Elijah! He is a great teacher and passionate about what he does. Love to see it!

We LOVED DTE Indy! All the trainers are tremendous with the dogs and really pay attention to each one they are training. They truly care about your pet and want them to succeed and get better every day like they are their own dogs! Could not recommend DTE Indy enough!!

Before DTE, I was ready to rehome my rescue that had been rehomed to me. I've had dogs before, but I could not get Hartley's behavior was causing a great deal of stress. The trainers are amazing and they really worked with her (and me) on her issues and behavior. Now, I have a dog that is amazing. I recently took her to my father's nursing home. People kept remarking at how well behaved she was. I cannot thank this place enough for what they have done.

We had a wonderful experience at Dog Training Elite with our pup Gracie. We adopted 12 mo old Gracie as a rescue, and we knew immediate training was needed to help her transition to a family pet. Doug and his experienced team did a great job with her, and we’ve easily learned how to follow the training program at home. I would highly recommend this program.

You guys are amazing Olaf learned everything from you Thank you for being there during the rough times 🤗❤️

Highly recommend Dog Training Elite, the trainers are fantastic and they did a great job with my German Shepherd puppy.

In just four weeks with Dog Elite Trainers, my golden doodle Harper and I have experienced a transformative journey that goes beyond obedience training. The trainers' expertise, coupled with genuine passion and love for their work, has created an environment where Harper thrives. The personalized approach to her unique personality has not only equipped her with essential commands but has also instilled newfound confidence. What sets Dog Elite Trainers apart is their commitment to fostering a strong bond between dog and owner. The support extends beyond the training sessions, providing me with the knowledge and skills to reinforce positive behavior at home. The dedication, patience, and genuine care exhibited by the trainers make every session enjoyable and effective. Dog Elite Trainers have not only met but exceeded our expectations, and we eagerly look forward to the continued growth and learning in the upcoming weeks. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful connection with their furry companion!

Our puppy, Annie, just finished obedience training at Dog Training Elite and we are absolutely thrilled with our experience! Not only did Annie learn a lot of new skills while attending their day camp, they gave us tons of videos and constant support to help us maintain her progress at home. I was a little nervous to drop off our sweet girl that first day, but the entire staff loved her and cheered her on like she was one of their own. Annie was SO EXCITED to go back in the next day, and she kept her enthusiasm for the entire two-week course. We'll definitely be returning for their advanced training courses and can't wait to take advantage of the weekend group classes!

Highly recommend!

i am currently taking my dog winnie to be trained here and they’ve done an amazing job with her! she’s a super high energy dog and they’ve helped her become more focused and concentrated! we’ve also met some amazing dog parents along the way:)

Josh & Elijah came to the rescue to help build confidence and trust with my 2 y/o fearful, reactive labradoodle and it's been a game changer! I can take her on walks and have company now without feeling like she might try to eat anyone that inhabits the earth with us! They were great about explaining subtle indicators and behaviors I hadn't experienced with a dog until now, which has been so helpful for me to proactively respond to her reactions and often avoid them altogether. I did my homework on best options for helping with her struggles and while I wasn't expecting a miracle, I couldn't me more pleased with the outcome so far and am excited to start group classes this weekend! I knew I made a great decision for her by how quickly she trusted them and responded to their training style. I have really appreciated the level of professionalism from everyone I've interacted with at DTE, that they haven't been pushy in any way, are very flexible with scheduling and have provided everything we've needed to help us succeed! It also feels great knowing they're available for ongoing support and communication if/when we need it. If you ever doubted making this investment in your doggo, hopefully a few compelling reviews help get you over the same hump I sat on too long!

We have worked with the trainers at DTE since late April and I am so pleased with the progress my pup, Fitzgerald, has and continues to make and with the attentiveness of the trainers. Doug, Elijah, and Josh always make sure to answer any questions or concerns I am having and when I am out (in the community) with Fitzgerald, we are constantly complimented on how "well trained Fitzgerald is at 18 months old". While Fitzgerald has his witching hour when he is being the very definition of a puppy, he can easily be redirected with a simple, one word prompt, "Off" and he's back on track. It has been so rewarding to watch Fitzgerald bond with his friends, a second grade class in one of the local schools has adopted him as their classroom pet and he visits the school and classroom each week. I am blessed in that I am able to take Fitzgerald with me to work each day, as I work as a behaviorist with individuals diagnosed with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities, a category of individuals who tend to have intense behavioral deficits. Fitzgerald is such a calming presence and loves each of the individuals on my caseload. The training Fitzgerald continues to receive is on display with every interaction he has with anyone he encounters and I am always offering strangers the contact information for DTE. Prior to finding Doug and his team, we'd communicated with other trainers, but none of them felt like a good fit for my family's needs and I didn't want to "Board and Train", especially a puppy who was only months old, as that required us to send Fitzgerald away for at least 2 weeks at a time. Doug never even suggested such a plan which immediately placed me at ease. I will continue to sing the praises of Doug and the DTE team because they are excellent and after searching and speaking with quite a few trainers before finding Doug and his team, I am convinced that they are the best team of trainers in the Indianapolis/Metro area.

We purchased a puppy to train as a serviced dog for our son who has special needs. Dog training Elite does in home training and then the group classes to assist you in helping you pooch hone their skills. They are professional courteous and just amazing! They even help make it possible for us to attend a special group class for service dogs when I ran into a work conflict. 100% recommend this company!

Amazing!!! 10/10. Trainers are kind and super supportive. Their techniques, are easy to learn for my dog and family.

The training we have received has been great! The money spent has been worth every bit of training. Elijah and Josh have been helpful when we get stuck! They are reliable at answering any question and efficient when answering questions! So glad we chose them!!!

Dog Training Elite is the best!!! Doug, Josh and Elijah have been absolutely awesome to work with.These guys care and it shows in the work they do. My Samoyed is very well trained thanks to them. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking for dog training.
