Local Dog Trainers in Fitchburg / Leominster, MA

He was very helpful. She will walk on a leash now. 🤗

Marcus is friendly and quite accommodating to my communication needs. He was very thorough when explaining the programs and he gave some light training which was fun!

Buddy really responds well with the training, Matt does a good job and is very knowledgeable.

Patrick was amazing! He answered all our questions explained everything in depth, a lot of info, but very informative.

Patrick was very helpful on our evaluation with Hercules today. Answered all our questions and already knew off bat what Hercules needed to work on. Thank you for your time Patrick!! Highly appreciated.

Patrick is top notch!

First visit with Patrick from Elite and we and Poppy learned a lot. It was very successful!

Marcus is a great trainer. I am very happy with all of the trainers.

Five stars! We were fortunate to have started and completed most of our training sessions with Matt Keefe who is key to the transformation of our anxious 3-year-old cockapoo Noodles (prone to aggressive barking and growling). Matt is the ultimate professional dog trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. In the beginning, he carefully explained and outlined the plan which convinced us to sign up for the Platinum Obedience Training. He tailored each session to Noodles’ needs (i.e., overcoming stranger anxiety especially toward male strangers). We transitioned gradually from training inside the house, to outdoors and then to public spaces in a comfortable pace. We learned so much from him during each session. He would always ask if I had any specific concerns or questions and I appreciate his step by step directions and demonstrations on what to do for different scenarios. The group sessions were very helpful too, for the exposure to other dogs and simulation of different types of situations. This is probably the best testament to our dog’s positive transformation: when we brought Noodles to a holiday party after 3 months of training, my brother-in-law asked if we “sedated” our dog prior to the party because Noodles was not barking at all and was so well-behaved. Thank you to Matt K and the entire staff of Dog Training Central Massachusetts.

Matt is amazing, patient and knowledgeable. We have already started to see progress throughout the second meet, I am very happy. Highly recommended

Marcus was great!

Marcus was great! Training was something I had debated doing for a long time, especially since my dog was 4 but I’m so glad I did and so glad I chose Dog Training Elite. From the beginning, there was no judgement and they were flexible and accommodating. My dog has come a long way and I have so much more trust in him than I did before. I also appreciate being able to email questions and notes and get feedback that way (outside of our sessions). Overall, I’m very happy with the service provided and would highly recommend!

Dog Training Elite Marcus came today and explained everything to us! We have a Parson Jack Russell who is out of control they will help us get Maggie trained and be a better dog.. we can’t wait for training to begin.. They showed us another dog who was trained it was a real treat to watch Duncan. We are hoping Maggie will do as well as Duncan ( there’s hope)

Our experience with this company has been truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. Matt Fennell, in particular, was an outstanding trainer and exceeded all of our expectations. It's important to note that the trainers focus on equipping you with the skills to effectively train your dog, and Matt excelled in this regard. As someone who has always had a deep connection with dogs and grown up with them, this was my first time seeking professional training. The results have been so amazing, and the bond I now share with my dog is stronger and more rewarding than ever before. If you are committed to following the guidance provided by Matt or any of the trainers, and are willing to put in the effort both during and outside of the training sessions, you will notice the same results I did. Such a great experience!

Matt was informative and helpful!

Marcus and Patrick were amazing. They helped us train our lab puppy. She had a lot of energy and was a bit of a challenge compared to our last pups. The trainers are very knowledgeable and helpful. If we had questions in between sessions we could just reach out and they would guide us on whatever challenges we were having. They accommodated my work schedule which was a huge help. We feel it was definitely worth the money and highly recommend them!

I have been very happy with the services both Marcus and Matt have provided me and my family while working with my 6-year-old German Shepherd, Whiskey. She is so smart but very high strung and constantly in overdrive and they are committed to leading my partner and me in navigating her training while helping her to meet her full potential! I’m excited to continue with them!

DTE and especially Marcus are THE BEST. No one I’ve ever met knows and works with dogs like Marcus at dog training elite. We call him the “dog whisperer” but in truth mostly he has to train me, the handler, as much as my dog Wally. He has a really clear and consistent way of communicating which has transformed Wally from a nippy jumping puppy into a dog who is about to pass his public access test for service dog work. The company in general is excellent and all the staff and trainers are really responsive and work with me and Wally to make the best training sessions around my schedule, meeting at our house or public places to practice his service work. I would absolutely recommend Dog training elite and Marcus to anyone who wants to properly and seriously train and develop their relationship with their dog and is willing to put in the time and energy! Wally is learning so much so fast and is doing great. Thank you!! Update: Wally just passed his public access test!! Thanks so much Marcus for everything you’ve taught us both!!!

Patrick was friendly and knowledgeable, great experience so far!

You guys are amazing! We are learning so much, we’re making a lot of progress I’m so thankful.!!
