Jimmy Morelli
Trainer

Hello, my name is Jimmy Morelli. I was born in Cleveland but grew up in South Florida. I moved around a lot my adult years before returning home to the Cleveland area when I retired in 2016. I retired from The Department of Homeland Security where I proudly served and protected my country at home and abroad. In my retirement, I have taken on a new passion which is fostering dogs in need. With the help of North Coast Boxer Rescue, I have rescued and found loving forever homes for multiple foster dogs. It is sad (in a way) to see them go but it is so rewarding to know you helped them find a forever home and get to help a future rescue dog. Most of my foster dogs have had heartworms or other medical issues so it’s extra rewarding to know you helped them back to good health. My buddy Scooby is my current foster dog but he is gonna be staying with me for the long haul.

In my spare time I enjoy attending live sporting events, traveling, cooking, and gardening. I am a season ticket holder for all the local sports teams. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States and overseas.

I grew up around dogs and love them for their loyalty and unconditional love. I look forward to working with you and your “best friend”.

Deacon - Training Dog - Yellow Labrador Retriever
Deacon
Training Dog - Yellow Labrador Retriever

Hi! My name is Deacon. I am an 8yr old Yellow Labrador Retriever. I live with my family in a home with a nice big yard and a pool and I love to romp and swim. Some of my other favorite things to do are eat, sleep, and snuggle! I am a very laid-back kind of guy, and I prefer sneaking up onto the couch whenever I can.

Unfortunately, my brother Cooper passed away in 2020 and I was very sad. My family brought a new puppy into our home, another Yellow Lab, and they named her Minnie. I was not too sure about her at first, but now we are best buddies! I love to romp and swim and play with her now and hope to teach her all I know about eating, sleeping, and snuggling.

I am very excited to be a DTE dog and can’t wait to meet you!

Training Dog - Yellow Labrador Retriever

Hello! My name is Domenica Angela Rose, but you can call me Minnie. I am still just a puppy, six months old, but I am one smart Yellow Labrador! I was born in Salt Lake City as a Tattle Tails Diabetic Alert Dog (DAD), now I live with my family in Northeast Ohio where I work as a DTE demo dog. In my free time, I love to play fetch and swim and run all around our big backyard.

I am very curious, playful, and I can run really fast! Deacon can’t catch me! I love learning new tricks, training and being a demo dog. I am excited to help other dogs and puppies train and learn new tricks, too! Hope to meet you soon!

Scooby - Training Dog - Boxer
Scooby
Training Dog - Boxer

Hi! My name is Scooby. At best guess, I am about 4 years old. You see, I didn’t have the best life early on. I was found as a stray running the streets in Cleveland and then captured and entered into the system (dog pound!). Yeah...I did some time. That is until this great company, North Coast Boxer Rescue, found me and sprung me from the clink. I went to live with Jimmy Morelli as a foster. I was heartworm positive at the time so he set up treatment for me but before I could begin that treatment they found a mass on my hind leg. It was the dreaded “C” word (Cancer). We had the mass removed and I stayed with this fellow during my recovery. Then we tackled the heartworm issue. I must have made an impression with Jimmy because I have been with him ever since.

I am a typical boxer. I am a lovable goofball with lots of energy. I do love my naps though. I live with my fur sister Bonne. She is a hound/boxer mix who was also a rescue pup. We have a big fenced-in backyard to play in. Which is great because I get to run and wrestle with her. I love people so I am excited to be a part of the Ohio DTE Team.

Poor Socialization
My name is Milo
Hi. My name is Milo, and I have a bit of a 'ruff' time making friends with my fellow canines. You see, I'm all about making new friends, but when it comes to meeting other dogs, I get a tad overwhelmed. I’d like to get out more, please.

My Problem:
Nipping & Biting
My name is Scout
Hello, everyone, my name is Scout, and I have a little, um, 'nipping' habit. I'm all about spreading love and happiness, but sometimes, my excitement gets the best of me, and I end up with a playful nibble or two. I want others to feel safe around me.

My Problem:
Separation Anxiety
My name is Nora
I'm Nora, and I'm in the process of tackling something called 'separation anxiety.' While I thrive in family togetherness, there's a hiccup when my beloved humans step out – I tend to get a little jittery. I would love to feel more confident.

My Problem:
Excessive Barking
My name is Link
Woof! I'm Link, and I've got a little quirk – a tendency to let my barks fill the air a bit more than necessary. I'm all about helping to maintain a harmonious vibe, but sometimes, I just can't resist the call of the wild, or the squirrel on the neighbor's fence.

My Problem:
Staying & Coming
My name is Dexter
I'm Dexter, and I've got a bit of a wild streak when it comes to the 'down' and 'come' commands. Sometimes my adventurous spirit leads me astray when those commands are in play. It would really make me happy to learn how to listen.

My Problem:
Chewing & Digging
My name is Charlie
I'm Charlie, and I've got a little hobby, or shall we say, an issue – destructive chewing and digging. I simply can't resist the allure of gnawing on furniture or unearthing buried treasures in the garden. I'm on a mission to mend my ways.

    We took our Bernese Mountain Dog/Australian Shepherd mix (Koda) to Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland. We had the best experience throughout the in-facility training. The trainers were so helpful and pleasant to deal with, and Koda learned a ton throughout the process. He completed the therapy dog training a couple weeks ago and came out of training a new dog. He is still a puppy and never lost his spunk, but we are now able to take him on walks without being pulled around the neighborhood, he knows all of his basic commands, sit, down, place and heal, and also knows how to politely meet a friend. We couldn’t recommend more this facility and are so happy with all of the services provided. We are so proud of our young Koda and he is going to make a great therapy dog one day.

    I cannot begin to thank Josh and his wonderful employees for working so hard for our dog Rocky, also known as RJ. And rescue it's very hard for us to see our dogs struggling mentally and not knowing the proper way to be a dog and to share. We had one dog that had resource guarding, and that was Rocky, he worked with him for two weeks and we could not be any more happy if we tried. They went up and beyond what I feel was 2 weeks of training guidelines. I felt very safe knowing my dog was in their hands every day. I knew I would get back the new and improved dog, a happier dog and a well-rounded dog. They did not prove me wrong. It's just so beautiful to see Rocky now thriving in his new home with his new adapters. Thank you Elite Dog Training of Greater Cleveland for giving us a peaceful and loving dog, that we can confidently adopt out. All my best Melissa Daniels-Gelsinger Lake Erie Labrador Retriever Rescue Trustee

    we reached out to Josh from a recommendation of a friend of ours, who had used the services in the past and swore up and down it was a game changer. When I tell you, it’s a game changer please believe me we were at the end of our rope with our dog saw no hope in sight. We finally made that call and got him started with training. By far, the best call and best decision that we made in just a little bit of time we have noticed quite a difference with our dog and his behaviors. We as pet owners have learned quite a few things from Josh and his crew as well. They are very knowledgeable. I am thankful for the training and even more thankful for the outcome, thank you guys!

    K9 Elite is top notch all the way. Josh and everyone he hires has exceptional knowledge of dog training using both positive reinforcement & correction. The training is tailored to you & your dog & the end result is a happy, well trained dog that is comfortable in any environment. My goal in choosing K9 Elite was advanced obedience and therapy dog certification. I couldn’t be happier, my dog just passed his certification test & we’re ready to begin work in the community!

    My husband and I are extremely pleased and very happy about learning this unique way of communicating with our boy. Our puppy was a little over 4 months old when we started the training and it took about 8-10 weeks for training. Josh is extremely intelligent, passionate, patient, professional and punctual. He came out to do our puppy’s evaluation and explained everything in detail about the process and different types of packages available, which was very thorough and helpful. We then started the training at our home. Josh always put in 100% effort and would wait patiently until the command is grasped by our puppy. Josh is very friendly and was always available to answer any questions about the training process. We are also very happy about doing the continued group classes with our puppy. You want to work with Josh as it’s very evident that he is passionate, dedicated and truly enjoys what he does!

    We rescued a one year old Saint Bernard and when we realized that she is too strong to even walk around the block I said we need to get her trained. The one and only call I made was to Dog Training Elite. From the initial phone call to Josh coming out for our free evaluation I knew it was the right choice. Josh said we would notice a difference after the first session and we were skeptical. When we picked Baby up we were in complete shock, our little girl was listening and seemed like a difference dog. She completed her 2 weeks of Camp and is a totally different dog. We are all happy now and can take her to the park and on walks. Josh and the team are absolutely incredible! We are so grateful for them! Our little girl is so well behaved and so happy. If you need obedience training do not waste another second Josh is amazing and so caring and truly loves what he does! Best decision ever!!!

    Dog Training Elite is a great organization with a truly phenomenal group of individuals. I’ve had the pleasure to be trained by Lexi & Josh on how to properly work alongside Maizy. From the initial free in home assessment to the weekly sessions & public access training, the team has been amazing! Maizy & I are grateful for the team and look forward to getting into the Service training aspect. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

    Thank you to Josh & crew - human and canine! From the initial consultation and demonstration with Lexi & Mocha to our first group class, Josh & crew have been supportive and helpful. I knew this was the right place for Finley. My breaking point was when Finley pulled me down injuring my hand while a jogger went past. I could not take anymore! I signed up Finley for the 2 week program. The first time I picked him up from class, I saw improvement. I was surprised! The best part was being able to practice with Finley what was learned that day before leaving the building. Josh & crew saw a good dog with great training potential when I saw frustration. They truly love training dogs and educating their owners. Like any relationship, the pet-owner bond needs daily work and our walks incorporated all the lessons we learned in the classes. I learned about dog behavior from Josh and his words of wisdom helped me to build confidence in Finley and myself. Attending Josh’s group classes allows me to work with Finley around other dogs in a supervised setting and we continue to learn new things. Does Finley behave perfectly all the time? No - but I now have the tools and knowledge to spot the triggers and correct the behavior. Do I have any regrets? Yes - I wish I called sooner! Seriously. I accepted bad behavior as normal because I did not know how to correct it. Now I know what a behaved dog should be! Thanks again DTE!

    Josh and his team are remarkable at what they do. Before starting training, my five month old golden doodle Brody had many bad behaviors you would expect out of a typical puppy. After 8 weeks, he is a fully transformed dog. I haven’t even started the group classes yet, so I look forward to seeing even more progress. It is hard to believe what they can accomplish in such a short period of time. I am very thankful I went with Dog Training Elite.

    I can't remark how professional and easy to work with the staff were at Dog Training Elite. They through the process I was kept informed of my dog's progress daily as well as being shown the methodology behind the training. My dog absolutely loved going to DTE and seeing the trainers. I would highly recommend them.
  • Sara Golden
    Jul. 8, 2024
    Josh and his team at the facility are outstanding! There’s a noticeable difference in my dog’s obedience after doing 2 weeks at day camp. They have a clear schedule of each day and they gave updates at the end of each day when I picked my dog up. They get to know your dog and gave lots of one on one training throughout the day. Very geared towards his needs and areas that needed improvement. (Reactivity!) It’s a safe and clean environment and I felt safe leaving my pup knowing he was in good hands. The real testament is that my dog was excited to go in every morning!
  • Lissette Neal

    Highly Recommend! I can’t express how amazing Josh and his Team are. Endless amount of patience with a crazy pup mom. When I need reassurance, they were all there. The door is always open at Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland. Definitely, worth it!
