    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite or our trainer, Amber. After a few too many reactive moments with Mochi - and one nightmare day on a trail where she lunged at dog after dog - I knew I needed help. Dog Training Elite responded quickly and scheduled a consultation, and I felt immediate trust in their team after Reina’s home visit. Because we’re moving soon, I was worried we wouldn’t have enough time. Amber and Reina reassured me and helped fast-track our training - and the results have been incredible. After just two months, Mochi is a completely different dog. I used to dread taking her out in public or on hikes, but now she can walk a busy trail in a perfect heel, hold a sit or down as dogs pass by, and even stay in her given command when other dogs get into her space - something that would have caused her to lunge before. To Amber and the team - I truly cannot thank you enough for getting us to a point where going out together is actually fun again. To anyone reading this - if you’re on the fence about training or which company to choose, this is your sign - go with Dog Training Elite. You won’t regret it.

    I have been so happy with Dog Training Elite Clarksville. Each trainer has been excellent: Regina, Amber, and Austin. My puppy gets excited to see them. The e-collar has really helped Riley make the right choice making life more harmonious. It's more of a nudge. It, of course, is taking follow through at home, but the combined efforts will ingrain the behavior I am looking for. My puppy is the happiest girl ever. I am learning good ideas and how to work better with Riley than I would on my own. Had I not hired DTEC I would've been a lot more frustrated and had a bratty puppy. It was the right decision for us.

    Love this service! Debated on training my dog for months, truly saw the problem when her behaviors started hurting my grandparents. Called and got a trainer to visit the same week! I once would have never brought my dog to Lowe’s; now she’s able to walk through the airport with me. I get compliments on how behaved she is now. I paid for obedience classes, so far; I have learned how to train her with help from the professionals. This was a better choice than sending her to a school and not getting to learn how to maintain the obedience myself. The team has managed well with my work schedule to allow me time to choose when training sessions are; the convenience of coming to my home to train has been a blessing. Cannot describe how thankful I am for the team in training Wynonna so well! Included a photo of her aggressively playing before Dog Training Elite and a photo of her in the airport after Dog Training Elite to show the difference.

    They were absolutely amazing. Our dog was extremely difficult to walk especially when she saw other dogs. Also, she was an extremely anxious pup. After working with Dog Training Elite, specifically Amber, she is super easy to walk and is much less anxious

    Loving our experience with Amber. She has been very consistent and ensuring we have the tools we need to train our Aussie and have the knowledge for life long education path for future pets. We start our group training soon and I have no doubt the experience will continue to be great! Would 10/10 recommend Dog Training Elite. The ratings they have are a true testament to the experience and people you meet along the way. (Our dogs understanding the "place" command in the photo attached).

    I was very impressed from our very first meeting. Our Shepherd, Warden, was an extreme case that developed overnight, and when I reached out to schedule a consultation, they made it happen quickly. From the start, it was clear that Reina would be the perfect trainer for a dog with such a strong personality. In just six weeks, Warden has come SO far. I highly recommend Reina—she truly knows what she’s doing and tailors her training to each dog’s individual personality and needs.

    Thank you to dog training elite for helping me turn my dog into an amazing pup! I was lost and how to help my dog with leash reactivity and now he can walk past dogs without a reaction! Best investment ever! Highly recommend.

    This has been the best dog training experience we could have asked for. Our dog has learned so much and is well on the way to becoming an excellent service dog. We are incredibly grateful to the wonderful trainers who have supported our puppy’s growth and progress. Reina has been our primary trainer, and she has been outstanding and always patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions. We truly appreciate all of her guidance and support.

    Phenomenal experience. Reina has been a world class trainer not only for my Malinois but for me as well. We are both progressing at a pace I believe is perfect for us. Great company, great program!

    We are about halfway through our training and I have seen amazing results with our dog. The trainers are thorough, kind and take time for you and your dog. We are very excited to see the end product when our training is over- we expect great results.

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite Clarksville has been absolutely incredible! Reina has been amazing to work with — her patience, knowledge, and dedication have made such a difference for our 7-month-old Frankie. The one-on-one obedience sessions have helped Frankie become more focused and well-mannered, and we’ve learned so much as owners too. We’re so grateful for the progress so far and can’t wait to continue this journey as Frankie works towards becoming a service dog. If you’re looking for professional, caring, and effective training, we highly recommend Reina and the team at Dog Training Elite Clarksville. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite Clarksville and our amazing trainer, Graci! From the first session, she made both me and my dog Rocco feel completely comfortable. She is so sweet, patient, and genuinely cares about the dogs and their owners. Graci explains every step in a way that’s easy to understand, and she always makes training fun instead of stressful. Rocco absolutely loves her, and I can already see such a huge improvement in his behavior and confidence. She celebrates every win with us and keeps me feeling supported through the entire process. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly goes above and beyond, ask for Graci. She has been a blessing to me and Rocco, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and skill. Highly recommend! 🐾💛

    I I have really enjoyed working and learning from dog training, elite Clarksvill. Our big boy, tank, has transformed from a rambunctious, strong, wheeled Rottweiler puppy who wanted to run the house into a controllable, personality, driven dog that will offer a sit or down position for a treat. The education provided on how to train our specific dog was incredibly helpful. At first, we were concerned about stopping tank from jumping on family members when greeting them and from becoming overly excited and aggressive towards anyone on the trampoline. Thanks to our trainer, Rena, and her consistent support and knowledge of our dog, we were able to correct these behaviors within just a week. I never thought we would be able to take Tank anywhere, but within three months, he confidently walked through Governor Square, Mall like a champ. He even visited Bath & body Works to sniff the fall scents and I don’t think anyone even realized he was there. He received occasional compliments like he’s so pretty and can I pet him but the biggest compliment we receive was when someone took him for a service dog. Just to add, yes, he did enjoy a pup cup as a special treat. I highly recommend dog training elite to anyone who needs assistance or simply wants to learn how to train their fur baby.

    Thank you so much to Dog Training Elite for helping me out with my crazy Randy. He was always very reactive towards men that would come into my apartment. After training, he seems way more comfortable with people coming to visit and more confident and secure in himself. I love my one on one sessions and the group class structure! Thank you!!

    Reina and her team are awesome! Millie has came so far in only a few short months. I went from not being able to walk her down the street without her barking to being able to walk her around the mall, dog park, etc with no issues. I highly recommend!

    He has came a long way from what he first started. He is now getting along with others and I couldn’t be any more happier. Thank you Reina 🤗 for your hard work

    I’ve never been so pleased with the improvement and my bound with my little girl. The crew at Dog Training Elite in Clarksville really helped me and my dog. They were able to get results for us even on day one. Basic commands were simple enough and they were able to show me how to get my puppy to sit, stay, and place on the very first session. Now I can even drop my leash and run away with her favorite toy and she won’t move a muscle. Walks are so enjoyable, not worrying if she will jump on someone. They were just so professional and took into consideration the nature of what I wanted my canine to be able to do. Dog Training Elite was able to meet all of my goals but took me and my dog training to a whole different level that I never thought possible. They are a must for anyone who wants to train their canine companions! Worth every penny in my book. I am looking forward to the future with Dog Training Elite.
