Puppy Classes

Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting time for any family! Puppies love to cuddle, play, and explore, but they also have much to learn before becoming well-behaved companions. Puppies can start training as soon as they come home at eight weeks old, and the benefits of training young will last their whole lifetime.

If you’re searching for professional puppy training classes, Dog Training Elite is your top choice.

We offer free in-home consultations to get your puppy on the right track from day one. Our experienced trainers work closely with you to customize a program that meets your goals and your puppy's needs.

From basic obedience to socialization classes and advanced service training, Dog Training Elite is here to guide you every step of the way.

The Benefits of Puppy Training

Our classes help your pup grow into a well-behaved dog. Here are a few benefits you can expect from choosing our elite training:

  • Deepen Your Bond With Your Puppy: Training your puppy – and continuing training with new tricks as they get older – is a great way to bond closely. Puppies have a natural desire to please and will learn to rely on you for guidance and direction, establishing a foundation of trust and love.
  • Socialize Your Dog: Obedience training, especially with group classes, helps dogs become comfortable and well-socialized around other dogs and people. This is important for when you want to take your dog on walks or invite people into your home.
  • Improve Your Dog’s Safety: Training your dog to listen and obey your commands will help them stay safe in any situation. Learning commands like “down,” “leave it,” “stop,” and “wait” can keep your dog safe from messing with dangerous things like electrical cords and other situations outdoors.
  • Provide Mental Stimulation: Good dogs can become bad dogs if they don’t have a way to work out physical and mental energy. Training as a lifelong pursuit is a great way to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged.

    The whole team at Dog Training Elite is incredible. This is our first dog, and Matt has saved our sanity multiple times- from providing some quick, free guidance on the phone to get us through the first few nights, to basic puppy training, to advanced dog training to stop unwanted jumping and nipping, and to the weekly training classes that are included with the training, our whole experience has been “elite!” We can’t recommend Dog Training Elite enough. We found the cost to be very reasonable given all the extras that are included. We continue to use their services and will definitely do so again in the future.

    Rhett and Kaitlyn have been amazing to work with. We were on the cusp of euthanasia due to our 6 year old dog suddenly becoming dog reactive to her dog siblings that she has always been around. Rhett laid out a training plan to help with our dog’s confidence and anxiety after meeting with her and us and it has really helped her. She is much less anxious and because of that feels less need to resource guard which was leading to the reactivity. I highly recommend them if you’re struggling with a reactive dog.

    Group Training with Dog Training Elite is always a positive experience for myself and my dog. They combine basic training and distraction training in a fun and effective way for all participants. Each group training has puppies and mature dogs all together in one group and it all runs so smoothly. The trainers are highly skilled. I highly recommend them.

    Dog Training Elite- Michael and Gosia have been absolutely fantastic! I really appreciate their patient, calm, thorough and professional approach to dog training. Our German shepherd has come on leaps and bounds thanks to their guidance and commitment. I highly recommend them for all dog owners who want a well behaved and happy pup!

    Jeff and Michelle worked with our GSD Sadie with amazing results. Michelle came to the house and began the training with Sadie. She was super with Sadie who responded. The home training was perfect with Sadie responding and picking up new commands as we went along. The group classes were great and Sadie was able to grow and mature, responding to the group exercises. The time spent in group training is priceless. My hats off to Michelle and Jeff for all the time spent together. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

    Deidre Is our trainer and this girl is amazing my Dog went from not really being confident to now I see his confidence coming out and he’s being a better boy every Day I work with him I had another trainer before these guys and thought dang this is how my dog always is gonna be. He’s just gonna be a bad boy that’s fine. I’ll deal with it and then I found Dog elite and they changed my mind. My Dog went from not really listening to all the time listening being more better outside paying attention to me more. I recommend Dog elite for all training purposes. They are fantastic company. I’m going to be sad to leave one day but happy in a way too cause I know my Dog will be a little bit better than he is now. Deidre thank you for being so amazing and I love your bubbly personality. Thank you for helping me and my boy cow

    We started with Dog Training Elite after interviewing a few places when our pup was roughly 12 weeks old. He started with puppy camp, puppy obedience and got the nickname Vampire from one of the trainers, and now in service training. We've trained our other dogs in the past with other companies before, and this has been the best experience by far. Patient, skilled, and genuinely good with our big, slow-maturing bubba. The foundation they built with Atlas is solid and they keep us accountable, too.

    Loghin is absolutely awesome. He introduced us to the program and gave our lab his first lesson today. He’s thorough, patient, and friendly. Explains things well and doesn’t make you feel rushed. He won’t leave until you are comfortable with the lesson being taught. So glad we are a part of his clients.👍

    Great experience! Amazing communication, customer service, flexibility, and top tier knowledge. Not only did my dog learn a lot but so did I. Had the fortunate experience of training with Clayton and he really knows how to communicate in a wayvthat helps you understand whats going on. 10/10

    We’ve had experience with dog trainers before, but Michael at Dog Training Elite is truly the best. Experienced and patient (with us parents, not just our pup!), he knew exactly how to teach us how to get our 18-month old girl to respond. She absolutely loves him too! If/when we have new pups join our household, Michael will be one of the first people they’ll meet.

    What an amazing experience it has been training my dog, Peppa, with this incredible and highly qualified team! I noticed a HUGE change in Peppa—not only in her behavior, but also in her confidence and ability to respond. They trained her with so much care, kindness, patience, and genuine understanding of dogs. You can truly tell how passionate they are about what they do, and they always treated Peppa with respect and compassion. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for her and for us. The results have been beyond what I expected, and I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and effective dog trainers. Peppa is a happier, more confident dog because of them! ❤️

Training Essentials for Your Puppy

Here are a few puppy training tips from the expert team at Dog Training Elite! If you have any questions or want to see these methods in action, give us a call. We are more than happy to show you a demonstration and provide you with a glimpse of what our professional team can do!

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in positive reinforcement and yummy treats do the trick! We recommend a high-quality, berry-sized reward that your puppy will enjoy. Rewarding your dog while training teaches them that you approve of that behavior and maintains their motivation to perform well.
Because you’ll be handing out lots of treats, you will probably want a treat bag or pouch. There are many options out there with different sizes, shapes, and ways to carry. The benefit of getting a treat pouch is the ease of access and the ability to reward your puppy quickly. If you aren’t interested in getting a treat pouch, we recommend getting a small bag to carry you puppy’s rewards.
A clicker is a great tool to have along with rewards when training a puppy. With a clicker, you can immediately provide a positive sound when your dog performs a correct behavior, and then you can reward them with a treat. Pairing a clicker with treats is a great way to instill positive reinforcement because you teach your dog that they get a treat when they hear a click. You can buy many kinds of clickers at your local pet store, and they even have helpful clicker apps.
A good leash is another essential when bringing home a new puppy. We suggest a leash made of a durable material like leather and about 6 feet long to allow for comfortable room for both of you. Training your dog on a leash will set you up for fun walks in the future, keep your dog safe, and prevent them from getting lost while out of the house. It is also beneficial for an excited puppy who wants to run around and play while training.
You'll need a sturdy collar or harness to attach a leash while training. Deciding between a flat collar or body harness is up to your personal preference, but it is good to consider your dog's comfort and demeanor. A collar is necessary while training and for safety while out and about. A collar/harness is also the best place to attach the identification for your puppy. If anything happened to your dog, you'd be glad you had a collar with your information on it!
Getting a dog crate is a great way to housetrain your puppy. You will want to get a durable and safe crate for your dog that has enough room for them to be comfortable. You want the crate to be a place of calm and safety for your dog, not a punishment zone. Getting your puppy crate trained gives you a safe space in your home to keep them while they are unsupervised and also prevents unwanted behaviors like chewing or peeing inside.
