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

Read More
Read Less

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.

    Justin was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. My Bentley loved him! He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. I look forward to working with Justin and the rest of the team, and I'm excited to see the final outcome! I highly recommend them! Mrs. Debbie has also been absolutely wonderful with Bentley! She’s knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and truly dedicated to helping him succeed. What I appreciate most is that she’s not only there for Bentley, but for me as well. The entire staff has been incredibly supportive, helpful, and phenomenal throughout this journey. We’re so grateful for all they do! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Larissa is a gifted teacher and dog lover. She has clearly studied and has an in depth knowledge of dog behavior, which she imparted to us with patience. And the lessons were fun!!! Our puppy has learned so much in just 8 lessons, and we really can’t thank Larissa enough!!

    I cannot speak highly enough of the folks at Dog Training Elite Springfield! I got Archie as a puppy last year and he was (still is) a wild man full of personality and energy. I was definitely overwhelmed and trying to train him using YouTube videos which just gave me conflicting information. We did the puppy school and the adult dog training program and go weekly to the group sessions. The support and care the staff show to the dogs and their owners is so impressive and has helped me and Archie build better communication and a deeper connection as a team. Every time we are in group class I notice Kristi and Jeremy remember all the dog’s names and the specific things they are working on and check in to offer personalized support. They also really seem to have a great time doing it! It has been worth every penny!

    The Trainers at Dog Trainihg Elite Central Nashville have been phenomenal. My dog, Friend Lee D(awg) is a very sensitive Kerry Blue Terrier who is so grateful I took the leap to get myself trained 🤣 Each trainer has been cordial, professional, quite knowledgeable in their training of Friend Lee. There is awesome communication with calls, texts, and appointment reminders. They have been patient with me and my dog -- very firm, gentle and consistent in their positive approaches. Friend Lee D is a totally new and improved dog. My family immediately noticed how calm and obedient he is. Friend Lee now has commands, assignments and purpose. We both know what we're doing and feel a sense of peace and calm. Our stars align!. I am grateful for entire Dog Training Elite team. Thank you all for your excellence! ~Jackie Grace

    Super grateful that I connected with Michael and was able to get support for my Yorkie, Laila! He was very patient with her and saw her potential from the moment he met her. Laila has made tremendous improvement and will continue to as we use the training that was given to us. His flexibility was a lifesaver given our limited time over the summer before heading back to school. I am excited to see Laila's future progress, which couldn't have been done without Michael's help. Thank you again so much!

    I cannot say enough good things about Dog Training Elite. We’ve worked super closely with Marie and done group trainings with Gus and they are absolutely incredible. Not only are they so knowledgeable but they actually care and show their love for my dog, Archie. Archie is currently in training to be a certified therapy dog and this would not be possible without dog training elite!!

    Jason came for the initial visit. We were impressed with his presentation and signed up. Illiana is our trainer who comes to the house and we really like her because she has a special way about her. Pia and Shultz get all excited when she comes. Both pups are responding nice to the training methods introduced at home and at the group classes. We are very happy with the service. Thank you. Ed an Cat- Pia an Shultz

    I purchased my 2 mini (9 weeks old) doxies mainly to relieve the sadness of having had to put my 2 adult doxies (14 and 17) to sleep. I was going to train these 2 puppies myself. After 2 months of self training (it was not much of a training schedule mainly not knowing how to train them) , I decided to get some professional help . I contacted Dog Elite Training and as a result of an excellent interview of what they do in the 2 week training program , I signed them both up at the same time. The program is not only excellent in every aspect (fits your schedule in dropping off and picking up) in what they teach, but the trainers are an absolute delight and they truly love your puppies. I can’t say anything more complimentary than to say I would sign them up again 100%!!!

    There are several things you’ll notice about the Dog Training Elite team of the Treasure Coast, whether you visit their facility or you're working with a trainer. These are just a few reasons for my 5-star review: 1. The Owners Are Trainers Themselves- In fact, unless you’ve done your homework, you won’t know that the person greeting you and your dog in the lobby and giving you tips when your dog reacts, just so happens to own the place. They are completely hands-on. 2. This may be a business of training dogs, but the staff all have special skill sets for working with humans, to show up the way they do with customers. Every call, every request is handled kindly and efficiently. They don’t leave you hanging and waiting – they really follow through – cheerfully, no less. Every person on the staff gives you the feeling that they truly love what they do. This makes a huge difference, day in and day out, in how they handle anything that comes up. 3. The trainers (so far I’ve worked with Nick and Nate) have a kind of “contagious calmness” about them. As a newbie to dog training, I’m really impressed with how they greet all of my questions and concerns with the same kind of enthusiastic reassurance that my puppy responded to immediately. (You can’t fool a dog!) Trust me, you’ll want to emulate their behavior yourself when you see the best in your dog start to surface. 4. The 6 months of unlimited group classes in the package I chose, proves to me that they're patiently with you, committed to your-and your dog's -progress. Some things take time and, if you haven't already learned patience yourself, you will by watching the trainers. In short, I highly recommend this business for you and your dog. They set a very high bar!

    Sarah did an amazing job working with us and our dogs! We learned something new during every session and our dogs responded very well to her methods. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite Michiana to anyone looking for quality dog training.

    The training was excellent. Each day I was told what training would be covered and when I picked Orla up the trainer spent time with me about what was accomplished. In other words, trained me on how to reinforce the training. Each day there were videos made that I could watch at home. The training provided a foundation to build on. I would recommend Elite to anyone wanting to build a positive, well behaved and happy relationship with their dog.

    We had such a great experience with Dog Training Elite while working with our 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy! Jason did our initial evaluation at our home and was incredibly thorough, attentive, and thoughtful. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted to work on and created a training plan that was truly tailored to our puppy and our goals. We really appreciated that the approach was effective without ever feeling aggressive or overwhelming for our puppy. We then continued our 1:1 training with Iliana, and we saw tangible improvements from day one! She was patient, knowledgeable, and so great at helping both us and our puppy understand what we were working toward. The entire team has been flexible, friendly, and responsive, and it’s very clear how much they genuinely love and care about dogs. We’ve been so happy with the progress we’ve made and are looking forward to continuing our training with the group classes. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

    This company is amazing ! We have a goldendoodle that we are training to be a service dog for my son who has CP, autism, SPD. The Trainers are very skilled and personal. You will feel like Family in class and they are very personal with every dog and handler. We have put our dog through their daycamp course, we have and are continuing group class, and have started Public access class and we are working on direct task commands to assist for my son. Our Goldendoodle is only 18 months old and we have been so blessed with everything she has learned and retained in all of the classes. She is a completely different dog from where she started.I highly recommend if your looking for a training company for your dog for any service even if just for basic obedience, go to Dog Elite Training. They are amazing!

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.
