Brennan & Ami have been awesome working with our new pup! They’ve got such a great skill in assessing the dog and determining what type of strategies would work best to motivate the dog to do what you’re asking. It’s been amazing to see our dogs growth from the puppy training to the more advanced work they are doing with her. Would highly recommend for any dog owner!

Brennan did an amazing job working with Charlie! He taught us both skills to help manage unwanted behaviors. This lead to more enjoyable and less stressful situations. I would highly recommend Brennan to anyone that is struggling in managing their dog. He is a professional, knowledgeable and very patient. My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner. I could not recommend him enough!

Brennan has been amazing with our mini cavapoo Archie. He is worth every penny! We needed help with leash training and barking and the basics and he has worked magic! Don’t look any where else! Hire him! Sweetest guy too!

Dog Training Elite is such a great experience! I want my golden doodle to become a registered comfort dog. Brennan was so wonderful! As soon as he comes in sight our CHEWIE is at attention and ready to please. He is so calm and focused. The dogs have no other option than to work!

Brennan is an amazing trainer. When I started with Elite dog training I was embarrassed to walk my pup, Nala. I would not take her to a park or any place she would see another dog. Nala is a great dog today! She walks beside me, does not pull towards other dogs or people and obeys commands. I now take her everywhere with me that a dog can go. I am so thankful for everything I have learned and the support from Brennan. Thank you!

Brennen was amazing to work with. Before he came our dog was a brute. But with his help and patience our dog is much more relaxed and manageable. We really appreciate everything he has done for us. Highly recommended!!!!

Brennan has been amazing with our super smart high energy Australian shepherd collie mix. He’s always willing to adapt and try new things with her until we get it dialed in. Callie looks forward to all her sessions with Mr. Brennan.

We found Elite Dog training at the pet expo, and no other trainers caught our attention like they did. They were very welcoming , understanding, and instantly came up with a plan that was executed perfectly . She’s stubborn but caught on quickly. I’m so proud of my dog Lady and how far she has came. If it wasn’t for Brennon who knows how lady would be. We got her training just in time . I am unsure of her background history, I found her running through traffic , she was severely matted and scared. Couldn’t find the owner, and now she goes up to people , she isn’t as shy, and she really is so loved and living her best life … thanks to Elite dog training !!!

If you knew my dog, The picture would say it all… the fact she was able to stand on a bucket!

Enjoy the extra weekend sessions. My dog Cosmo is getting used to existing with the other dogs. I have learned myself how to handle him in different scenarios. Brennan had done a great job teaching us how to be comfortable around other dogs.

Very pleased with our experience with Brennan and Dog Training Elite Columbus! My girl can be a little stinker and Brennan never gives up on her (or me!)…and keeps coming up with new ways for me to challenge her and work toward our goals. Thank you, Brennan! I think you are stuck with us for a while! 😉

I would like to say our trainer Brennan was amazing ! I learned so much that I would have not thought about doing with Pickle! How to give Pickle commands when needed, and obedience training . Pickle was excited to see Brennan each visit ! Thank you Brennan!

My family is so grateful for the training that Brennan was able to share with us and our dog Pickle. The training helped relieve a lot of stress we had been feeling before reaching out for help. He went above and beyond to answer any questions that we had along the way. Our lessons felt personalized, and we were grateful that he would take whatever time was needed until we felt comfortable practicing that week’s lesson on our own. Pickle also had a lot of fun during the lessons and got some treats along the way. Two months later, Pickle is still doing really well with all that he has learned from Brennan. Thank you for all that you do!

Brennan is my one and only dog trainer. I got my dog army last summer and she has come so far because of all the work that Brennan has put in with us. If you need to train your animal to be a service dog, listen to your commands, or do fun tricks then sign up with this guy!!!

I can't recommend Dog Training Elite enough! Brennen, our trainer, is exceptional. His kind yet firm approach creates a positive atmosphere for both dogs and handlers. He takes the time to assess each handler's abilities, ensuring everyone is equipped to train effectively. With a focus on positive reinforcement, Brennen's methods truly work. He has been working with my Doberman, Minnie, who is in training to be a therapy dog in a behavioral health setting. If you're looking for top-notch dog training, look no further!

Brennan is the best dog trainer in town. He is the third trainer I used for my dog Kaden. The other two trainers did not get my dog where I wanted him to be. Brennan went beyond my expectations. My dog used to react to other dogs, now he can be around any dog. My dog can now be off leash and still have the obedience as he is on leash. I used to be nervous to have Kaden near my daughter, but now I feel 100% confident with him around her. Highly recommend Brennan and his dog training methods.

We’ve loved this experience! Brennen (our trainer) has been amazing to work with. He adapted to the needs of our dog and continued review basic training commands in the mix. Our dog was timid with loud sounds and he brought all the ideas and tools for each training session. We get 1:1 at our house and group sessions at the park. No matter what your end goal may be, Brennen is supportive and hard working to get to that goal.

I would absolutely recommend Brennan with Dog Training Elite. He is calm, gently firm with his training and builds a relationship of trust and love in his training. Our GSD Luna is stubborn, but she loves Brennnan and loves to work. He has taught us, how to teach Luna and although she still has a bit to go, the things Brennan has taught are working! We now train at various locations outdoors and indoors and her dog distraction has greatly improved. At one point I worried if she would be a good Service Dog, but now I KNOW she will be and already demonstrates, thanks to Brennan' s guidance and our persistence with his training. If you need a trainer and program, THIS IS THE ONE.

This place is where my dog is currently training and I love it! The trainer, Brennan, is really knowledgeable and easy to schedule with (even if you need to move the time around, but I try my best not to do that to him lol). I’m in need of a psychological support dog and I’m so glad I chose Dog Training Elite to make my shelter pup a service animal ❤️

Brennan is amazing! He fits your needs along with your dogs. He doesn't do one size fits all. I love that he comes to you, spends time getting to know you and your dog before even trying to make any plan. He is definitely the go to guy!

Had an amazing experience with Brennan. Put in the extra effort to make sure we had the best resources. He not only showed us the correct techniques but he explained why we were doing that. From the beginning to the end their was a huge difference in Lokis behavior. 100% recommend this training.

Brennan has done such a wonderful job training my dog Noomi. She is a very energetic bernedoodle that loves to play! I have always wanted to let her off leash but have been nervous that she would run away from me. Brennan has worked with her and has made me feel confident that I can take her off leash and she will listen to me. It makes her so happy and it gives me a peace of mind that she will be obedient to me. Thank you Brennan for the awesome work! My pup and I are so thankful for your help 😁

Brennan O'Malley
Owner / Trainer

Hi my name is Brennan O'Malley. I was born and raised in Mentor, Ohio. I am a graduate of Bowling Green State University with a degree in Hospitality. Once graduating, I realized I wanted to help people and make a difference, but my real passion was with dogs.

I love training my dogs, so when I came across Dog Training Elite I knew the company was the perfect fit for me. My dogs have always been important to me and I admired how DTE tailors training to meet a family's needs.

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have a Pit Bull American Bulldog mix and a Portuguese Water Dog. In my free time, I like to take them swimming at the lake.

GO BUCKS!
