Parker Fillmore
Owner & Trainer
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.

5-STARS all the way! I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite enough, especially thanks to Parker, their incredible dog trainer. Parker's depth of knowledge and expertise in canine behavior is truly impressive. His ability to teach both dogs and their owners is unmatched; he breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. What's more, Parker's patience knows no bounds. He takes the time to ensure every dog and owner feels comfortable and confident through out the training process. If you're looking for top-notch dog training, look no further! Thank you Parker and Dog Training Elite!— Alisa Kellington-Welsh

We met with Dog Training Elite earlier in the year and decided to go with them to train our Great Dane Shada. We could not be happier with them. The transformation that she has made is nothing short of spectacular. Before working with them she was eating poo and was very misbehaved. Now not only has those been rectified, we went even further and had her trained as my service animal. Their attentiveness, natural ability and hands on experience are second to none. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.— Jonathan Breckel
