Love all the trainers! They have helped happy immensely

I would give them 100 stars if I could! We were at a point with Kevin or St Berdoodle mix, where I had already reached out to a couple of rescues because I didn't see how we could help him with his aggression towards the male dogs in our home. After putting 12 stitches in our Beagle, I was at a loss. When I first met with Kristi, I cried as I told her how much I loved my dog and how brokenhearted I was that I didn't know if anything would help. We signed Kevin up for their two week camp and OH MY GOSH!! Just two days after being in class we saw drastic changes! The first day he pulled me all over on the way in the door. On the second day he walked calmly beside me. By the end of training, it was like we had a whole different dog! He follows commands and is much calmer. Don't get me wrong, he's still the same crazy, playful, lovable pup that we loved so much. But now he has manners! Just yesterday I took him to the Lake for his first time. We passed other dogs, including a little yappy one that kept jumping towards Kevin, but Kevin didn't flinch. He sat calmly next to me. If you love your dog like I do, this training is a complete game- changer!

My husband found Vince online when looking for a trainer to make our great dane Loki a service animal. I was hesitant at first, but after speaking with Vince I knew he would do an amazing job. Loki just finished his home sessions where he learned valuable skills that not only taught Loki but taught us as the handlers. Vince is extremely knowledgeable and has a way with dogs. He is flexible and understanding and overall an amazing trainer. Our first group session for distractions starts next week and we couldn't be more excited. After that his service animal training really begins and I know because of Vince, Loki will excel at this. Vince sets you up for success, and you can tell he actually wants you to succeed and to me thats a breath of fresh air. Looking forward for more training soon!

We love Dan so much! He’s an incredibly intuitive dog trainer and people trainer 😂 Our sweet but aggressive-biting, dog has responded so well to his training that I just can’t believe it. Same protective loving dog, but with more respect and trust that his owners are in charge and he can relax. Our other sweet girl has benefited from some gentle corrections, and the whole household is more at peace. Cannot recommend Dan enough, for both nervous owners and reactive dogs ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of working with Reina as my dog trainer, and I cannot recommend her more highly. From start to finish, she demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and dedication that truly sets her apart. Reina’s approach to training is both structured and personalized. She takes the time to assess your dog’s unique personality and learning style, then tailors her methods accordingly. One of the things I appreciated most was her step-by-step explanations for every exercise and command. She didn’t just show me what to do—she explained why we were doing it, how it benefits the dog, and what to watch for in my dog’s behavior. This level of detail made the learning process so much clearer and easier to follow. Throughout every session, Reina was incredibly patient and encouraging, with both me and my dog. She managed to create an environment that was positive and fun, while still being highly productive. Her instructions were easy to understand, and she made sure I felt confident and capable before moving on to the next step. She also took extra time to answer my questions and point out small things I might have missed, like subtle body language cues from my dog or slight adjustments to my technique that made a big difference. The results speak for themselves: my dog has made tremendous progress, and I feel much more equipped to continue reinforcing the training at home. Reina’s professionalism, knowledge, and natural ability to communicate with both dogs and people make her an outstanding trainer.

Alaina was great! Very friendly, professional, knowledgable.

I had the best experience with Dog Training Elite. I had a very nervous rescue with some aggression issues that I really was skeptical I could fix. Dog Training Elite was fabulous from the start with prompt communication and walked us through every step of the process. My dog is now calm and confident and more importantly, I know how to handle all the situations that had me nervous before I went through this. Larissa is the best dog trainer!! I highly recommend!!!

Great staff, great training, group classes fill up so fast wish there were more. Training our service dog teddy with there help and the results are astounding right from a puppy. Has competitive prices compared to other trainers. I personally have worked with Alex and Dom can't say enough nice things about them both. They whole family at DTE has been so vital in teddy being the big success he has become.

Very friendly and kind.

She was fantastic. She has a great understanding of dogs and how we as owners can change to help our dogs. She explains things well and answers all questions.

We had an outstanding experience with Dog Training Elite. Ramiro was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and flexible with our schedule. During one session, our puppy had a minor leg injury from earlier in the day, which Ramiro immediately noticed. He paused the training to ensure Oakley wouldn’t put any additional strain on his leg and rescheduled once he was fully healed. That level of care and attention truly stood out and made it clear that Ramiro genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Highly recommend.

Amazing. My service dog in training is showing amazing progress and I have no complaints. Every problem I've faced I've been given an effective solution for from the trainers.

My six month old puppy had challenges with being anxious and not very trusting of her surroundings. It took quite a bit of coaxing and many hours of training and practice but eventually she was finally able to assimilate into situations where she could be more confident. I am pleased with her behavior now. We do need to do some occasional refresher training to help her stay on track. Overall, the training we received from our trainer, Clayton was consistent and top-notch.

Dog Training Elite Michiana is absolutely amazing! Chloe and Rich have been working with my 9 month old golden retriever puppy, Callum, and they are beyond great! They have so much knowledge with dogs and training that it just amazes me! I have learned so much in our training sessions already. The way they can read dogs blows my mind. You can see their passion when working with my pup. Everyone I have encountered at this place has been so kind and helping, from the front desk lady to the trainers. Training with them is worth every penny, and I highly recommend this place…and them!!

Poppy and I have completed 5 private lessons with Grace. Each session has been very targeted towards one or two particular behaviors which makes it easy to understand and focus on the goal. We’ve made great progress regarding Poppy’s over-reaction to other dogs. I tried other training methods but none were effective in curbing her behavior. We’re on the right track and I’m looking forward to the group classes.

Our dog Gus and I both benefited from our training sessions. Gus and I both learned all the commands and enjoyed the process. George, the trainer, is a great teacher. His experience is evident and he developed instant rapport with Gus. We achieved all our goals and look forward to the group training sessions.

When searching for puppy training I was unsure of what to look for. However, my Pepper and I checked out a couple places. The moment he stepped into the training area at Dog Training Elite, he was mesmerized. I had to pull him away when it was time to leave. So truly Pepper chose Elite. There he learned the basics and it was so very easy to practice at home. The videos sent to me are the best source of reference for me as an owner. I have a busy work schedule so referring back to the videos and having practice sessions with Pepper have been great. I totally recommend Dog Training Elite, my dog has been very easy to correct and he remembers the commands. I haven't utilized the group sessions yet but I took advantage of a package that included a week long all day training camp for my puppy. Totally pleased with this investment and hope to continue utilizing Dog Training Elite in the future.

I got a 6 year old rescue 3 months ago & found that I couldn’t walk him by other dogs without him lunging & growling at them. I tried an online program but reached a point where he wasn’t improving. I reached out to Dog Training Elite & in 2 sessions he improved greatly around other dogs. He & I are still a work in progress but in our 3rd session he walked figure 8’s around the trainers dog without reacting. You have to put in the work but I’m so grateful to both Neal & Azure for getting my dog on the right path so I can confidently have him in public without being fearful of his negative reaction to other dogs.

Reina is friendly and knows her job very well. My dog loves her.

Reina is very knowledgeable and gave us homework that makes sense and is easy to understand and apply
