Our Positive Dog Training Method
in Clarksville
At Dog Training Elite Central Nashville, our dog training method is different. We focus on positive reinforcement paired with a personalized, in-home approach. This will empower you as the owner to be an integral part of the process for sustained dog obedience training in Clarksville.
Our approach is based on positive reinforcement. We help you and your dog achieve sustained, deep-rooted obedience.
We do not use punishments or shock collars. We pair positive reinforcement training with an electronic collar for superior results. An electronic collar is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog but is used to gain the dog's attention, just as you would with the tug of a leash. It is never used as a punishment for bad behavior.

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.

Personalized Dog Training
Most dog training programs train the dog at their own facilities. They require minimal involvement from the owner and once the dog returns home the problem behaviors return as well. With our Clarksville in-home dog trainers, we personalize the training to you and your dog for long-lasting success.
The entire family can, and should, be involved as obedience can be undone as soon as training is disrupted by any one individual. Our comprehensive approach will be customized to you and your family to prevent loss of obedience.
Environment Specific Training
Because your dog's behaviors are specific to his or her surroundings, our trainers work with you and your dog in the environment that behavior occurs. Our in-home dog trainers in Clarksville provide a balanced and comprehensive approach working alongside dog owners to create strong bonds and sustained obedience.
Training takes time, commitment, and balance. Dog Training Elite will be there every step of the way, to help you and your dog achieve sustained, deep-rooted obedience.

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!

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
