Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

Cheyenne came out for first training visit for our border collie, Hubert. She is very knowledgeable and made sure we understand how to work with him on new skills. We had been taking him elsewhere for basic training before beginning his service dog training with Elite. The one exception was as she was leaving: she made a comment that we baby him too much; however she didn't give any examples so we would know how to correct it.— Donna Friesen

We had our first at home training session today. Cheyenne came out on time and ready to get after it. She explained the process very well to my wife and I who are new to everything. Looking forward to the rest of the sessions and getting these pups more training!— Adam Hartquist

We absolutely loved dog training elite! Every trainer was very knowledgeable and skilled. We did the puppy obedience course with our German shepherd and loved our results! They took the time to make sure our puppy understood each task and that we understood how to reward and affirm her! Treats were provided, the facility was clean and nice, staff was friendly and attentive, and we left happy and with a ton of new skills mastered! Thank you dog training elite! We 10/10 recommend them, you and your pup will not regret it!— Enid Contreras

Honestly have had such a great experience with Dog Training Elite and Felicity is one of my favorite trainers. You can’t go wrong with any of the staff, but she is one of the stand outs in my opinion.— Lisa Baker

Worth the investment!! Our puppy has responded so well to the training and especially loves his buddy Felicity who trains him at our house. They are extremely professional and give you so much information to set you up for success with the process of training. Scheduling is flexible, and your pup will be tired after which is always nice 😊— logan shimp

Today, we had our last training session with Felicity. Our golden doodle is 3.5 months old. Highly recommend Dog Elite to help provide the foundation training for your puppy. We able to walk outside without dog dragging us or constantly stopping. Felicity was great with our dog. She explain very well how we should be performing out the commands demonstrated. She even provided helpful tips and products to assist with some behavior issues. Thank you so much.—

We were desperate for help with our stubborn Great Dane puppy. Two weeks into formal training and with a lot of consistency on our part, she’s like a new dog and we are so grateful! Tre came for her evaluation, heard our frustrations, and answered all of our questions. The training sessions were scheduled around our schedule and the trainers were always punctual, relational, and professional. The training itself is well-balanced and helped us set clear boundaries. We are so grateful!— Chandler & Kelli Snyder

If you’re looking for reliable trainers and a network to share experiences and advice regarding your animal, Dog Training Elite is the place! I had no clue where to start my dog training journey and decided to give Dog Training Elite a try; I don’t regret my decision. The trainers take the time to understand your needs, give suggestions, and care for you and your fur baby. Not only is my service dog performing fantastically, but I understand ADA laws and have a network to contact when I am confused. I will strictly rely on Dog Training Elite for all training services from now on and suggest you do the same! Their customer service skills and attentiveness to fulfilling your need will leave you wondering why you didn’t join sooner.— Melissa Watkins

Dog training elite has been the best decision for our family and high energy goldendoodle pup Ziggy. All of the dog trainers we have had have been absolutely wonderful. Felicity especially is a true expert at her profession. She has put Ziggy and I at ease and helped me feel confident with handling our rambunctious pup in different environments and scenarios. He has come so far in the 2 months he has been training and look forward to seeing him progress even more! Thank you Felicity and Dog training elite for your care and support!— Jenna Crites

Kyler and Sophia are amazing! They have helped my dog Trinket and I so much! Trinket struggled with bad reactivity towards other animals. I'm very happy with the results of our training and know we both will have a better quality of life by not stressing out when leaving the house. Thank you both!— Ana Kaase
