Dog Training Elite and trainer Justin have been terrific to work with and I have seen very positive results with my dog. My dog and I have worked with Jason over several 1-1 sessions and his training is clear and easily applied. His feedback to me has been very helpful in addressing issues such as barking, reactivity, leash pulling and basic obedience. In addition to 1-1 sessions, the group training sessions have been great opportunities to expose my dog to other dogs in a controlled environment. These sessions also reinforce the training received in individual sessions. My dog loves Jason and responds very well to him, and I appreciate his patient approach to me as I learn to address issues with my dog. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite and Jason to receive positive results with your dog!

So glad I choose these guys, from private sessions at my house (or even at a public place if I choose) to the group sessions they offer at various locations, it all helped my dog with everything she needed! They are knowledgeable, consistent, considerate, and very kind!

Great training in home and group training. Saw improvements in my dogs leash walking.

Our Raina did so well. Jason was awesome he really tunes into a dogs personality! Raina is a 125 adopted malamute so she can be a lot😃 She has learned all her commands and can now go in public and behave like a lady😃

I was impressed by the patience, knowledge, professionalism, and consistency of the team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. The service dog and medical response training sessions were clear and effective, and the trainer always took the time to explain each step. I appreciated how consistent the approach was, which helped my dog make steady progress. Highly recommend them as a professional dog trainer in Greenwich, CT

I would like to provide a five-star review to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional training program offered by Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. My dog, Khloe, underwent training in Norwalk, CT, where she required obedience training prior to her service dog training. Jason, the trainer, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and expertise, effectively guiding my dog to successfully complete all necessary tasks for this process. The transformation in my dog’s behavior and performance has been significant. I am truly grateful for my decision to choose this company for my dog’s training, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you, Jason, for all that you have done for my dog.

I am very happy with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. Top 3 things I loved: 1) Their knowledge and experience made every session effective. 2) Their patience and consistency built real confidence in my dog. 3) Their professionalism and friendly communication made the whole process smooth. I highly recommend them for dog obedience training and puppy training classes—they truly are the best dog trainer in the area.

Wonderful experience working with Jason. Our dog, Ruby, learned quickly and looked forward to seeing Jason each week. He explained everything very clearly and made sure we were comfortable with the training to be done on our own during the week. In addition, he always says to call with any questions or concerns so you fell completely confident as you guide your dog to living their best trained life. We Thank Dog Training Elite for a great training experience for us and our dog!

Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was amazing. Jason, our trainer, was very knowledgeable and patient, working with each member of the family to make sure we understood the obedience training methods and psychology. The whole team was great when our dear puppy broke his leg and we had to work around his healing process. I also really appreciate how Jason would respond to texts and give us some extra things to try, like when our puppy regressed and started pooping in the house. Thankfully, Jason helped us turn that around within a few days! Kepler, our puppy, looooooves Trainer J, too. And he is a very happy, (mostly) obedient seven month old pup now after working Elite! We all look forward to some upcoming group sessions with Elite!

Jason was beyond superb. He never became annoyed or irritated by my failure to get my dog to do as instructed, even when I needed 6-7 times before the dog obeyed. He never made me feel incompetent-in fact, he instilled me with confidence that I could get the dog to obey. And I did! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Dear Dog Training Elite Team! I just wanted to say that, I really enjoyed working with you all.You trained my dog so well, and I absolutely recommend you to others.Also,Jason is an excellent professional!Thank you so much for your kind.😊😊

Our experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was nothing short of amazing! We originally sought out their help here in Newtown for diabetic alert training for our dog, Lucky, but we got so much more. Thanks to the dedication and personalized training from Jason, Lucky is now able to go everywhere with us, without any issues. ​We recently took a trip and received so many compliments on how well-behaved Lucky was. He was incredibly responsive to all his commands, including come, heal, sit, and lay. He stayed right by our side, even in new environments. Lucky was able to join in on all of our family activities, including going to restaurants, the beach, and even an arcade center! He laid patiently at my feet during meals and relaxed on a yoga mat at the beach. Dog Training Elite has truly given us the gift of being able to take our dog everywhere we go while knowing he is taking care of his responsibilities as a diabetic service alert dog. We are so grateful for all the work Jason put into training Lucky and for all the support provided by the entire team. We highly recommend them!

Loren and Jason went so above and beyond. From the actual training, to making accommodations when our pup got sick, I couldn’t recommend this organization more. Please bring all your dogs here!

The expertise of Dog Training Elite of Southern CT's professional dog trainer was exceptional, providing constructive guidance and personalized attention that effectively addressed our pet's needs in fields like anxiety training for dogs and obedience training. From the results we've seen in our dog's behavior, it's clear that their expertise in areas like puppy training classes and in-home dog training has made a significant, positive impact.

My dog trainer at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT is encouraging, knowledgeable, and friendly and provides exceptional guidance and support throughout our experience with puppy training classes, and we saw significant improvements in our pet's behavior over time. Her expertise in dog obedience training has ensured we received the very best training and attention for our Bernese Mountain Dog!

Cannot say enough good things about DTE of Southern CT. Loren is prompt and courteous and Iliana shows a true love and commitment to dogs.

I adopted a dog that resided in a shelter for 6 yrs. Roy came from an abusive home and has many fears, anxiety and mistrust of people. I researched training facilities and chose Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. I liked the several levels of programs offered and the write-ups on the trainers. I've worked with Jason for the in-home sessions and have been very pleased with all the information and exercises he has provided to decrease the anxiety/fear/mistrust level. Within a few weeks of training my neighbors started noticing a difference in Roy. I'm looking foward to the group training sessions to continue my dog's journey on learning how to be a dog in the real world. The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT provided top-notch training classes, delivering expert guidance and encouragement that will help my pup thrive with a seamless transition into correct canine behavior. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT

The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT is excellent. My dog showed amazing improvements from the first session. Jason is great at explaining her behaviors and how to quickly and easily correct them. I had a good dog, now I have a great dog. I would recommend them to everyone (and I do!).

Our experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was exceptional, thanks to their clear instructions, empathetic approach, and professional demeanor, which made the Puppy training classes a delightful experience for us and our new furry family member.

Dog Training Elite of Southern CT's staff is exceptional, offering patient, friendly, and supportive guidance that eased my concerns and helped my furry friend thrive in the pet trainingand obedience classes. Jason was fantastic, he was patient with me traibibg my shepherd, and making sure Penny and I were completing and understanding the training plan. I appreciated his input and experience. I’d recommend him!!

Jason is absolutely invested in training dogs and he is excellent at what he does. I highly recommend Jason and the team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT.

A positive experience from the first point of contact - responsive, courteous, professional. I rescued a NYC dog who had a lot of baggage, none of which is her fault, but I needed a very experienced trainer and my research found Jason and Dog Training Elite. Thankfully, they could come to me across the state. Pearl's training has been specific to her needs and our needs as owners. Jason teaches you how to set your dog up for success while adapting to your home and your lifestyle. It is not a one size fits all solution. In my case, Jason has taught me how to train Pearl, it is not just him working with Pearl - so I have become a more confident handler and a better leader for Pearl. We are BOTH happier thanks to our sessions. For Pearl, it is a marathon, not a sprint, and I'm grateful that I have Dog Training Elite on our side - I feel comfortable reaching out for guidance and advice outside of our sessions. I recommend them to anyone who wants to help their dog be the best they can be. Thank you, Jason & Team! Jennifer, Granby CT

When I adopted Milo, he had severe separation anxiety, leash issues, and would bite when upset. I couldn’t leave the house for over a month. Iliana was patient, kind, and professional. In just a few sessions, Milo is now great on walks, less reactive, and I can finally leave the house stress-free. I’m so grateful—highly recommend her!

I would like to commend Jason for his exceptional assistance. When my dog Bo began exhibiting signs of reactivity towards other dogs, I reached out to Dog Training of Elite Southern CT. Jason provided me with valuable strategies and guidance to help Bo feel more at ease and reduce his reactivity. I am eager to begin my group class sessions!

Outstanding Dog Training Experience! Dog Training Elite of Southern CT has completely exceeded our expectations! From the very first consultation, his professionalism, knowledge, and passion for dog training were clear. Jason is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly kind, patient, and dedicated to helping both dogs and their owners succeed. Our dog showed remarkable progress within just a few sessions—behaviors we thought were unchangeable quickly improved thanks to their personalized approach. What makes them stand out is how much they focus on building a strong bond between you and your dog through trust, structure, and positive reinforcement. They were always on time, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt confident every step of the way. The in-home training option was a game-changer for us, and their follow-up support has been phenomenal. If you're looking for results-driven, compassionate, and professional dog trainers, look no further than Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. Highly, highly recommend!

Illiana at Dog Training Elite has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She has come to my house in East Haven CT for several one-on-one trainings. Illiana is extremely knowledgable, and is always in an enthusiastic mood that really proves her passion for what she does. Before training with Illiana, I reached a point where I was unable to safely walk my overly excited STRONG and stubborn dog, Baker. Illiana provided the tools, directions, and patience to correct this behavior. I have also attended a group training with Jason, and could not recommend them both enough. Having the opportunity to train Baker with other dogs in a safe (and still personal) setting, taught myself and Baker skills I didn't even know he needed! I strongly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT.

The staff at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT impressed me with their patience, kindness, understanding, experience, and authority, making them a standout in professional dog training, particularly in Puppy training classes, where attentive trainers helped us overcome challenges with gentle guidance.

The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was supportive, with excellent communication and helpful in figuring out what kind of program I needed. Trainer Jason listened to my expectations and successfully guided me in achieving good obedience training with my 8 month old puppy. We had 5 private sessions, both at my house and outside, and now I’m looking forward to joining the group sessions. I’m very happy with the results that provided me with a new bonding experience with my puppy. Thank you Jason and Dog training Elite of Southern CT !

The professional team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT provided exceptional care and instruction, offering patient and kind puppy training classes that truly made a significant impact on my pet's behavior and overall well-being. As an expert in their field, they expertly guided me through even the toughest dog obedience training techniques and helped me address my pup's anxiety issues, making them undoubtedly the best dog trainer for me.

Dog Training Elite of Southern CT's professional dog trainer has a remarkable grasp on pet training and obedience, effortlessly addressing my concerns while helping my dog to grasp new behaviors during the puppy training classes. Their extensive knowledge and warm demeanor made me feel at ease, and I'm thrilled with the results of our anxiety training for dogs sessions.

We've had a great experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. We have a rescue dog that has a lot of anxiety, and Jason provided us with guidance about how to give him more confidence. Jason was great about answering our questions, and provided a good mix of behavioral analysis and hands on training.

I have had only three private lessons, at my home and cannot express how Elite’s techniques has helped me train my rough collie. Jason and his team knowledge of the different breeds of dogs and the use of that knowledge to help me with techniques of owning a herding dog. They taught me techniques you can not learn on your own by getting to know my dogs living environment and my desire for Finnegan’s obedience training. All in my home within the distractions Finnegan deals with and I needed to understand to achieve obedience. I cannot praise their knowledge, care and thoughtfulness and it is proven in a short time. My fellow dog walkers, neighbors, expressed how much Finnegan has learned with this one on one in home training approach. I am thankful and highly recommend dog elite training. They even traveled to Woodbury CT for my one on one lessons. Thank You Jason, Loren and your team.

We were almost at the point of looking for a new home for our dog..until we found Dog Training Elite services of Southern CT. In the past, we've worked with a number of well-regarded local dog specialists, sadly without much progress. After an in-home evaluation and a full session with the Dog Training Elite team, we quickly determined a plan for managing our dog's high anxiety and addressing his aggressive behavior. The trainers at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT helped us expand our training options, that yielded amazing results. They were prepared with many ideas to consider, to try and helped us 'see' and 'mark' our dog's positive behavior. We jointly figured out what works better, and made both a short and longer term plans to work on. We are looking forward to continuing group sessions and expanding our dog's social circles in Fairfield and beyond. This has truly become a life-changing process for our dog and us! Thank You!!

The staff at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT consistently demonstrated a supportive and knowledgeable approach to pet training and obedience, providing expert guidance throughout Marco’s behavior modification journey. Jason's patience and understanding allowed me to build a strong bond with my dog and confidently apply the techniques I learned during in-home dog training sessions in Norwalk, ultimately transforming our lives with anxiety-free walks with our calm and well-behaved Pup.

We contacted Dog Training Elite just a few days after adopting our very sweet but very large one year old dog, Rusty, and are so glad we did. We’ve worked with both Jason and Illiana and can’t say enough good things about our experience with them. Rusty came to us with little to no structure in his world and some agent-of-chaos energy but we could tell he was ready to learn, and we were eager to start his training right away. Having Jason and Illiana in our home to help get us on the right track with training has made a world of difference for all of us and has helped us bond quickly with our lovable but energetic boy. Each session they’ve been able to directly address and help problem solve anything that’s come up as we’ve gotten to know Rusty’s personality and quirks a little more. Their instruction has been clear, simple, and easy for us to follow on our own. If anything isn’t working for Rusty or for us, they help us incorporate different techniques until we find what clicks. We have and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a dog trainer in southern Connecticut!

I can’t recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT enough! From the moment they arrived at my home in Trumbull, CT, I felt confident that both Althea and I were in great hands . The trainer we have been working with is beyond patient and has given me great tips to set me up for success for taking the therapy certification test we are working towards passing. It is clear that she is passionate about working with dogs and their owners towards building a trusting & loving bond! I saw massive improvements after only two visits and always look forward to what we will work on next. The company has always made scheduling easy and made me feel supported the entire time! I can honestly say we will maintain an ongoing relationship with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT and continue to work towards new training goals in our future!

The trainers at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT went above and beyond to ensure our dog received top-notch pet training and obedience. We have two golden retrievers that are wonderful dogs but lacked any structure. After a few sessions with Jason they are incredibly well behaved but just as fun loving as ever (and they seem genuinely happier). The training was very well thought out and we could practice during the week. We now feel comfortable bringing the dogs on walks in the mall and all around New Canaan. We could not be happier. thank you !!!

Jason came to my home in Guilford to help train my 10 month old puppy who had developed anxiety about going for walks. He gave me the tools to help her overcome her fears and we also worked on general obedience training, recall, and heel which have been amazing. I told him I was only interested in using a positive reinforcement approach and he encouraged it and helped me understand the benefits and scenarios of both methods, which was really helpful. Thank you Jason and Loren!

Jason at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was incredibly patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and calm, making it a joy to work with him and see our pup thrive during the service dog training classes. Jasons keen energy and professional approach helped get our once bossy Bernedoodle to tip top shape and a certified Psychatric Service Animal.

Jason at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT conducted pet training and obedience sessions with our dog River at our home in Middletown. He demonstrated exceptional patience, professionalism, experience, kindness, and clarity in his instruction. The professional and specialized in-home obedience and anxiety training was impressive, clearly tailored to our dog's unique needs.

The staff at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT possesses a remarkable level of patience, kindness, empathy, experience, and praise that instilled a sense of confidence in our dog's behavior, making the pet training and obedience process a truly effective and satisfactory experience especially during puppy training classes.

After four years of good but hyperactive behavior, River seemed to reach an uncharacteristic level of anxiety. This resulted in her becoming territorial and lashing out at our other dogs. One incident led to an accident and a trip to the ER. Seeing my fiancé devastated and at wit's end, I found Dog Training Elite. She called, and by that evening, we had an in-home appointment scheduled. I had never had to do obedience training for an adult dog before, so I was unsure what to expect. The clear instructions provided by Dog Training Elite of Southern CT made the entire learning process and training journey seamless and easy to follow. From dog obedience training and the anxiety training for dogs, I cannot say enough good things about our sessions. Within the first week, River was like a new dog; though she still had many issues, she followed commands and enjoyed the training. By the third visit, we had been instructed on many training options, techniques, and tools and given the choice of which we preferred. We appreciated the expertise and personalized attention of the professional dog trainer, who successfully bridged the gap between the concept and practical application. While every dog is different, I recommend that anyone in Middletown or surrounding areas who has a dog like River and thinks they may have to give it up, check out Dog Training Elite. We can not say thank you enough for helping with the tools and training us to keep River as part of our family, next up on the block are our other two dogs.

Oliver and I had an excellent training from both Jason and Illana. Easy to book with and always on time.

They are amazing! I have been working on making my dog Maddie a service dog and they offer personalized in home visits as well as traveling to areas near by. I live in Fairfield county and they don’t mind it at all!

Jason was very patient with my dog and provided all the necessary information and tools to get our dog trained in the fastest way possible

The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT demonstrated exceptional patience, kindness, experience, compassion, and professionalism throughout our interactions, making us feel confident in their abilities to help us with our dog's pet training and obedience needs. Their professionalism was on full display during their dog obedience training sessions, which were both effective and enjoyable for our entire family.

Jason, the owner/trainer is excellent! He came to my home in Bristol and helped us with obedience training for our newly adopted 4 yr old dog Max. Prior to Jason‘s arrival, Max had no formal obedience training-and it showed…literally within the week Max was heeling and walking politely on leash, instead of pulling and tugging!! Jason also worked with Max and gave us easy to follow instructions with all of Max’s basic commands-and they WORK! Jason is patient and personable and HE KNOW DOGS!! Worth every cent, and Jason’s always willing to take a phone call if you have a question. And the mobile service coming to your home is so convenient!!!!!

We have had our puppy Cooper for just over 9-weeks now, and puppy training with Illiana has been nothing short of perfect. She is very knowledgeable and shows us exactly what to do moving forward on any given training activity. She is very responsive by phone if we have any questions, and is overall very passionate about what she does. We will be moving forward with Dog Training Elite, and specifically Illiana for the next training program!

Excellent! Our experience with Illiana has been fantastic. She is really helpful and punctual, she gave us great advice and definitely helped us improve our relationship with our dog and the training help us to communicate with him in a perfect way. I recommend her to anyone who has problems with their pet. Thank you 😊

We were very happy with the company Dog Training Elite. Jason was excellent!! He was great with our puppy Oslo and very professional . 5 stars all the way!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. Jason is absolutely the best trainer we could have asked for. He worked with our pup, Rio, on recall and house manners, and the results were incredible. The personalized approach to dog training made a world of difference, and Jason's expertise in obedience training gave us confidence every step of the way. The transformation in Rio's behavior speaks for itself—highly recommend to anyone looking for professional, effective training!

The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT demonstrated exceptional patience, professionalism, encouragement, kindness, and empathy throughout the entire training process, making what could have been a daunting experience for both my pet and me a truly positive and rewarding one.

We were blown away by their professionalism, which gave us the confidence to know that our dog was in good hands with a professional dog trainer.

My little one had some real behavioral issues and Jason is so patient and understanding. I’ve seen a huge change in her and my family is so happy with the results of this training program. I work for a vet and recommend this program to everyone that is struggling. We love Dog Training Elite!

If you're looking for an outstanding dog trainer company, Jason, at Dog Training Elite New Haven, is your go-to expert! His knowledge, patience and personalized approach made all the difference. From the very first session, Jason was able to assess my dog’s behavior and create a tailored training plan that addressed both basic obedience and specific behavioral issues. What really sets Jason apart is his dedication to both the dog and the owner. He empowers me with the skills and confidence to continue the training on my own. Plus, Jason’s passion for dogs and genuine care for their well-being is a plus. My dog felt very comfortable around him, compared to other strangers. Working with Jason and Loren (Operations Manager) they made everything easy from the 1:1 at home training sessions, group sessions, customer service and scheduling assistance. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with them. I will 100% be a returning customer. If I could give them ten stars I would!

We’ve had 4 sessions with Jason and each time we marvel at what a nice man he is in every way..He’s very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior..their quirks and affection.. our Lab puppy has learned so much from him as we did..We throughly recommend him as a dog trainer and behavior specialist..Lucy the black lab adores him🐾🐾.

Illiana was incredible with our dog. You can tell right away how much she knows about training dogs and how much she loves them. We thought our dog was untrainable, she showed us he is not. He is much better mannered and more enjoyable for everyone Great Job and Thank You Kim & Chip

We got a new English Bulldog puppy (Penny) in October 2023, and started training as soon as possible with the end goal of her being trained as a support service dog in public areas (nursing homes, hospitals, etc.). We mostly worked with Jason who is patient, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We also worked with Illiana a few times who is creative, knowledgeable, and patient. Both are great! As Penny started to grow, we unexpectedly found out that she has a genetic disorder in her neck/spine that limits her activity and our training options. The team was very patient and understanding and always willing to help. They were flexible and creative with training ideas, tailored to work within Penny’s personal tendencies, and with her medical restrictions which is hard to come by with a special needs dog. I also love that they come to the house, making the training more realistic and personable to the dog and us, not to mention it’s easier on the work schedule! Penny has picked up on all of her training commands quickly, and now it’s on us to be consistent and see it through! I highly recommend this company and team for your training needs!

Dog Training Elite has been an absolute game-changer for me and my 6-month-old German Shepherd, Jasper. From the very beginning, Jason's expertise and patience were evident. He has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs, and Jasper clearly felt comfortable and at ease around him. Jason's training methods have been instrumental in giving Jasper a solid foundation in obedience. He has made significant strides in his behavior, and I'm so grateful for the progress we've made together. Jason's guidance on using the e-collar has been invaluable. It's a tool that has proven to be a lifesaver in certain situations. One of the features I appreciate most about Dog Training Elite is their group sessions. These sessions have been fantastic for Jasper's socialization, allowing him to interact with other dogs and people in a controlled environment. Additionally, training in a busy park has helped him learn to focus and respond to commands amidst distractions. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective training program. Jason's commitment to both the dog and the owner is truly commendable.

Three weeks ago I contracted with Dog Training Elite and it has been an incredible and eye opening experience. Jason is our trainer and he is top notch. He has provided such valuable education that we have been able to train our 10 year old boxer and 18 month cane corso in this short time. Training as I’ve learned is about the owners showing consistency and following through. In just three sessions our dogs bark infrequently, walk on a loose lease (no more Mom drags), follow through on commands and don’t get on our furniture. The investment was well worth the exceptional outcomes. We wish we had done this years ago. Jason has proven techniques and a calming presence. Our dogs look forward to seeing him. We are excited to start group training next. Thank you so much Jason for helping our dogs reach their greatest potential (not to mention their humans)!!!

I had Illiana one of the new trainers here and she was extraordinarily helpful with my one year old golden doodle who had horrible leash manners and resource guarding over stolen items. I have been very successful with crate training and having him lower his stress levels when guests come over. She has also helped with desensitizing him and various objects around the house as well as when in public talking to people he remains very calm and in a down position! I couldn’t have been successful without her input and I was more than happy to do my homework and train him with all the advice she gave me! I 100% recommend Illiana!

I worked mostly with Illiana and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. Our boys ADORE that woman. She's so incredibly intelligent and practiced and we felt very empowered every time we learned something new! Everyone else we've interacted with has been so kind and helpful and I don't regret this decision at all. It's been a wonderful experience so far!

Dog Training Elite made life with my pups so much better! I have 2 dogs (5yr old pit/boxer and 1yr old lab mix) that didn’t have any obedience training but also had some different needs. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and patient with both of them and their different needs. After just one lesson on leash training, our walks became enjoyable rather than a daunting task. And it’s only getting better! I’m so glad I found Dog Training Elite. I only wish I had found them sooner! And Loren was so helpful with scheduling and all my rescheduling needs! I couldn’t recommend them more! Thank you!

We had an amazing experience with Dog Training Elite New Haven! Our trainer, Jason, was exceptional. His love for dogs and expertise in training are evident in every session. Our dog was incredibly reactive, but thanks to Jason's fun and effective training methods, she is now obedient and well-behaved. What truly impressed us was how easy it was to apply the same techniques to our older dog, resulting in a dramatic improvement in her behavior as well. Jason's passion and skill made the entire process enjoyable and rewarding. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Dog Training Elite New Haven to anyone in need of top-notch dog training services!

I adopted a GSD in November and I was in desperate need of help. Jason was very patient and helpful. I personally love the group sessions as my dog is reactive and the group classes help so much. Thank you, Loren, for your help scheduling.

I do not have enough good things to say about trainer J and the team at dog training elite. I came to them with a 2 year old rescue malinois/shepard mix who had severe anxiety, extremely reactive, and every walk with her was a task. After 1 session we saw improvement and after 5 it was like a brand new dog! In just 5 sessions trainer J was able to take my girl from a reactive girl I couldn’t take my eye off for one second, to a dog that I enjoy taking with me everywhere I go and she’s loving her new life in brooklyn! Thanks so much trainer J!!

Choosing elite dog training for my service dog and regular obedience classes for my other dog was one of the best decisions I ever made! The trainers are knowledgeable and are not only good at training your pets but also helping you as an owner feel empowered and learn the proper techniques so that you don't confuse your pup. They are very knowledgeable in traditional training but also are adaptable. What I mean to say is that they really do look at the individual dog and family to evaluate the needs and best Best way to meet the ne meet those meet those needs.

This is my 1st time utilizing a trainer. Everyone from booking an appointment to the actual training of my do Franklin went easy and smooth. Everything was made so simple Franklin picked up on everything quickly. His behavior changed and he has become alot easier to handle. I highly recommend Jason as a trainer. Franklin was extremely comfortable and willing to work with Jason at every appointment.

We are super satisfied and definitely met our expectations. If you are looking to train your dog as a service dog or even to correct behavior, I’d highly recommend Dog Training Elite of New Haven. Jason and his team are very professional and knowledgeable in this field.

Dog training elite is a great company with exceptional service. We can contact them at any time and they always get back to us within a reasonable timeframe. Jason is an amazing trainer that is sensitive to the needs of his clients. We truly enjoy working with them on our journey through obedience and service training.

Highly recommend Dog Training Elite - New Haven! Loren, Jason & Jeremy are all phenomenal to work with! We couldn’t have had a better experience with a trainer! Experienced, knowledgeable, professional, communicative, and effective for canines AND their humans!! Elsa gives them two paws up!

DTE is the perfect choice for dog training. Everyone from Loren to Jason were nothing short of excellent. My dog Rayne has so much anxiety, that it caused her to become very reactive towards people and other dogs. After one session with Jason I started seeing an improvement. He really takes the time to focus on both you and your dog’s behavior. I highly recommend DTE.

Jason is a great trainer. He has done wonders with my dog Rayne. I can’t wait to do more group sessions!

Thank you, Jason, for helping us with our Doberman. Although he is our 2nd dobie he presented us with a challenge having such high anxiety we didn’t experience with our older one. This was new for us and became very frustrating. Jason reassured us we were doing everything right and with some consistent training and technique helped our Dobie become more adjusted and able to work through his anxiety. Walks are now a pleasure vs a stressful time for the 2 of us. The group sessions were vital for us, the consistency of the trainings helped him be around other dogs and begin to trust other dogs vs stress out around them. The one-to-ones were personal and Jason dedicated the time to exactly what our Dobie and I needed to be successful. We continue with the group sessions to keep the consistency. Thank you for helping us get our Dobie to a better place for him and our family.

Jason and Jeremy provided exceptional dog training for our English Lab. Their expertise and patience helped shape our dog's behavior in a short amount of time. Their methods use positive reinforcement as well as insightful techniques to truly make a difference. They are super qualified to take your dog to whatever level you desire. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking effective and compassionate dog training.

Dog Training Elite has made a significant impact on my dog's behavior; he now listens attentively and responds well to commands, showcasing a remarkable improvement in his overall obedience.

Jason is amazing with our German shepherd. His approach is very gentle and our puppy took to him immediately. She even wants to go home with him when he leaves. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend. Loren was a pleasure to work with and Jason is a magician. It's a big investment in time and money and it's absolutely worth it. It's like we have a new dog! We enlisted Jason's help at a critical juncture--our young beagle was acting like a boss--and thanks to Jason's patience, skill, and good cheer, we now have a better-behaved dog. Have worked with many trainers over the course of 20+ yrs of dog ownership; Jason is far and away the best. Thank you!!

Dog training Elite has been wonderful! They’re always available to answer your questions and help when needed. Jason and Loren are excellent! Definitely recommend!

We have had a great experience with DTE. We have worked with both Jason and their new trainer Jeremy, and both are fantastic. They have helped our dog Chevy channel all of his energy and us to work with him. Both them and Loren are so easy to contact and always make themselves available in a timely manner. You can also tell they all truly care about the dogs that they work with. I love that with our package we will have them as a resource for as long as we need. They have been such a blessing to our family! Definitely recommend.

Jason is great! We have made major improvement with my pups social anxiety, the group classes have been a huge help and Luke continues to improve with each class

I 100% recommend working with DTE. It was worth every penny! Jason absolutely transformed my dog in 5 sessions. He went from a crazy dog who wouldn’t listen and was misbehaving, to an easy going good boy who I can walk in public, not worry about him jumping or biting on guests, and always coming when I call him. Loren was super easy to reach at all times and communicate with! Even better, I am continuing my training when I go to school in a different state, Jason and Loren have set me up with the trainers there! They also offered zoom calls or to reach back out if I needed any help and to keep them updated. They really care for the dogs they are working with and want to make sure they are making progress!

We have loved working with Jason! Our pup absolutely loves him, and he has made such strides in his training because of this company. The flexibility of scheduling is really beneficial to us with our busy lives. Highly recommend!

We truly never thought our dog Millie would be able to be around other dogs but with Jason’s help she has turned into a completely new dog. Taking her for walks is no longer an issue after leash training and we no longer dread having to take her outside! Definitely recommend Dog Training Elite for any type of behavioral issue you may have with your dog.

Dog Training Elite of New Haven has been an excellent experience. Trainer, Jason, did a wonderful job of helping us to understand & communicate better with our dog CHESTER. Jason was able to transform Chester into an obedient and first class SERVICE DOG. The staff's service and communication have been outstanding. This experience surpassed our highest expectations & allowed us the opportunity to collaborate with fellow animal lovers. We would recommend this service to anyone without reservation. Sincerely, Awilda Santos and Robert Smith.

Dog Training Elite is amazing. My at-home training here in Branford was invaluable. It helped my dog Poppy understand and know what was allowed and what wasn’t and why. It has taught social skills and how to be a good dog in various, and sometimes, uncomfortable situations. The e-collar I use, is a wonderful tool and Poppy is happier now than before training. It has been worth every dollar. Highly recommend.

Dog Training Elite is the absolute best. It has been a wonderful experience from the very start. Our trainer, Jason, was incredibly knowledgeable and willing to help with anything we needed here in Branford. In just a few months, we've seen a major transformation with our rambunctious 2-year old Aussie, Vita. By using the e-collar provided, training went way faster than expected, just by using it to get Vitas attention. Amazing!! It A big thanks to everyone at Dog Training Elite. We are so appreciative and happy we sought out help from this organization
