    We had our assessment today with Justin and he was awesome! He was professional, knowledgeable, and down to earth. We can’t forget about his fur co-assessor Louie!! So adorable!

    Today was first day of training our 16 week old black labrador. Her name is Pupp. Super energetic. Justin totally patient. Provides us as a family confidence. Our dog loves him!

    I was hesitant to use a trainer but my Luna got to be too much to handle on my own. Still a ways to go, but After 5 sessions I can take her on a walk and not have to worry about her chasing cars, people, or trying to pull me with the leash. I am thankful for our trainer in giving us the tools we need to be able to enjoy having Luna with us enjoying more than just our home.

    My first training session with Logan, it was great. We made a lot of progress with Daisy that I will work on over this week. All of my training received with Elite/Midlands has been great. THANKS!

    Can't say enough positive things about Justin. Justin is truly an elite trainer who is very modest and well grounded.

    The team has been outstanding from start to finish. Their professionalism and dedication made the process seamless, from helping me find the right dog to guiding us through training from 10 weeks to 15 months. My Service Dog now performs with near-perfect accuracy, and thanks to their expertise, I’ve been able to move away from the medication I once relied on. I’m incredibly grateful for this team and all they’ve done to help my dog and me reach this level of success.

    We have a 10 month old English Setter. We have had 5 sessions with Justin so far and it has been an amazing experience. We have learned so much and our dog Penny has too! We did our first lesson out in public yesterday and I was so nervous but Justin met me at the store and took control of her because he knew I was nervous and she did great! I feel much more confident in my own ability to handle her in public now which will open up so many possibilities for us to travel with her and experience new things. I HIGHLY recommend Justin and his crew! We did another week long board and train program and it just wasn’t effective but having Justin come and train us all in our environment has been a game changer for us. Justin also brings his dogs to help socialize and train and offers group classes on weekends too!

    Justin has been great at instructing and demonstrating the commands to teach our dog the behaviors we’re looking for. We have seen dramatic improvements in our dog’s behavior in just two lessons. We would recommend Dog Training Elite Midlands to anyone.

    We were very pleased with our trainer Laird and Justin! Very professional and they know how to make training effective. They trained us how to train our dog. We highly recommend them and looking forward to get our dog qualified as service dog.

    Laird is an amazing trainer. Lotty and I are learning so much! She seems to know how my puppy is going to respond and instructs me how to handle her response. Laird is very professional and kind a rare combination.
