Separation Anxiety Training for Dogs in Connecticut

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.
