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.

    We have had Rhett and Kaitlyn training our 2 year old Boston for about 6 weeks now and they have really done great with what we handed to them - a psycho. They are very patient, kind and knowledgeable. We have definitely noticed a change in our boy that would not have been possible without them.

    Nick is fantastic! Highly recommend for anyone with dogs in Las Vegas. We can't say enough good things about Nick and Dog Training Elite. From our very first consultation, he took the time to get to know our pups and didn't hesitate to start working with them right away. He's incredibly patient and has a natural way with dogs, and it shows in how quickly they've responded to him. We have two dogs, and Nick works with both of them at the same time, which has made a huge difference for our household. He's also been wonderfully accommodating with our busy work schedules, always finding a way to make it work. Along the way, he regularly checks in and reassures us about our dogs' progress, so we always know where we stand and what to practice. If you're looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your dogs and your family, Nick is the one. Thank you for everything!

    I had the best time training with Kyle and his dog Kheli. When I had questions he was very friendly and informative. You can truly tell when someone enjoys what they do and helping people better understand thier doggy companions. Would recommend to all looking for the most professional and knowledgeable people to train your dog.

    Nathan was a great trainer! Kovu was very reactive and unable to go on walks, did not listen well and could not be around other dogs. After our first session with Nathan, Kovu had already made great progress. By the last session Kovu was able to be on a walk outside with people & dogs walking by. He doesn’t try to run out our front door anymore and overall seems less anxious! Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

    We had Kyle working with us, and he was an excellent instructor. My dog and I learned how to communicate with each other and I learned how to be patient and consistent in teaching her what I wanted her to do. Good steady progress. Now I feel I have the tools to take it to the next level. Thanks!

    Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was excellent! After thorough research near Westport, CT, we picked DTE and we are very happy with our decision. All of our expectations were exceeded. Howie was is now fully trained as a Service Dog. All sessions were on-time with follow-up notes texted to me. Howie really enjoyed the sessions too! It was a smooth process for all.

    Rhett and Kaitlyn did a tremendous job ŵorking with our rescue pup Juno. Initially my goal was for Juno to learn basic commands to help improve her behavior and stop her from leaving our yard. I quickly learned from Rhett and Kaitlyn that by teaching her expectations and how to follow commands, we could help Juno become a more confident and secure dog. As she matured through training her behavior improved so much. There's no way we could have made this progress without Rhett and Kaitlyn. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs help training their animal!

    I have had the best experience working with Dog Training Elite! I had the chance to work with trainer Reina and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! From the very beginning, she was patient, knowledgeable, and truly took the time to understand my dog Honey and her individual needs. She made training feel positive and manageable while giving me the tools and confidence to continue working with her at home. I have seen such a huge improvement in Honey’s behavior, listening, and overall confidence. What I appreciate most is that the training isn’t just about teaching commands—it’s about helping me better understand Honey and build a stronger relationship with her. Honey genuinely enjoys training, and I have seen changes that I honestly didn’t know were possible. I am so grateful for the guidance, support, and dedication throughout the process. I would highly recommend Reina to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares about both the dog and the family! 🐾💖

    Tina was fantastic to work with! Our two huskies have drastically improved and are much more manageable all around, especially on walks. Prior to training, we had almost given up on taking them for walks due to pulling and their reaction to other dogs. Tina worked with us and gave us the tools to be in control so walks aren't so stressful!

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.
