Reactive Dog Training in Fitchburg / Leominster, MA

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Laydon was awesome! Super knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does. My dog’s behavior improved fast, and her training methods really work. Highly recommend Laydon if you want real results! Giuseppe appreciates your hard work too!

Jocynia did a great job was very informative and I would refer her to anyone. Thank you for your patience thank you for your kindness. God bless you.

She was great! Very experienced, very friendly, patient with me and my dog. Explained everything, answered any questions I had. I will definitely request her going forward..

She was great and communication was excellent 💯

Marcus and the DTE team (shoutouts to Matt F, Alaina, Josy and Laydon!) have transformed our rescue girl, Siri. We started this spring and have just seen her confidence blossom. Anytime we grab her e-collar, she gets super excited. Walks are much more enjoyable for us. She loves her trips to Home Depot. We look forward to continuing on in group classes as we further work on her socialization and desensitization skills in various environments. We also are considering certification in AKC’s Good Canine Citizen program as another goal because we also love doing this work with her to strengthen our bond as owners and handlers. We have worked with a handful of DTE’s trainers because we needed flexibility for crazy schedules, sometimes we would have hoped for more continuity between the trainers as we did get some weird conflicting info a few times. We also were grateful for them letting us expose her to their dogs and work through areas. Would love if there were even more group classes options in both days/times and locations. The outdoor classes could also benefit from having a mic with Bluetooth speaker as you can be pretty spread out and sometimes difficult to catch instructions.

(Translated by Google) Very good experience with my beauty and Jocy is very good at explaining everything to me so that it is easy for us to extend. I recommend it. Good jobs and Thanks (Original) Muy buena experiencing con mi bella y Jocy es muy buena explicandome todo para que nos sea facil de extender se los recomiendo.,Good jobs and Thanks

Our trainer did an amazing job the first session. We are so happy

Josie was great with my Bella who’s very skittish and shy. It was our first consultation today

5+ Stars to the entire team at Dog Training Elite! From the very beginning, the staff has been professional, responsive, and reliable. Scheduling is always prompt and the guidance and support have been consistent every step of the way. After working with several trainers in the past and hitting a plateau with our fear-reactive shepherd/husky mix, we reached out to Dog Training Elite feeling borderline desperate. It has turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dog. The expertise, especially with working breeds, has been incredible. The trainers not only helped us address reactivity toward people and other dogs, but also focused on building our dog’s confidence with new skills like placing in tricky spots and doing “doggy push-ups.” Training finally feels fun again (for all of us)! We were unsure at first about working with multiple trainers instead of just one, but quickly realized how consistent and supportive the whole team is. Special thanks to Marcus for helping us choose the right program and always being there with support, and to both Matts, who gave us a new level of confidence in how we handle challenging situations. Between one-on-one sessions and group classes, we now feel prepared to safely and positively bring new people and dogs into our lives (see picture with his new friend

Very positive adventure. Jocy was very professional but also made it fun and interesting.

She was amazing and very strait forward !! Definitely me and my partner loved her !

Jocynia, explained the training tools clearly and I was able to continue training my pup after the session was over. Very kind and easily understood! Thank You!

I highly recommend DTE Central MA! My fiancé and I started lessons with them when my German Shepherd puppy, Rio, was around 3 months old. He’s now 8 months old, and working with DTE has helped shape him into the best young dog. We’ve done private sessions with Marcus, Matt F, and Matt K, and each trainer has provided a ton of knowledge and help. They come right to your home, or meet in public for real-life scenarios. Scheduling has been easy. They’ve covered obedience, shaping polite behavior, and even scentwork. We’ve also attended several group classes in several fun locations, and they structure the exercises really well.

Patrick was very knowledgeable with a nice approach when evaluating our 14 week old pup Duke. He provided several tips on training with focus on positive reinforcement while creating a healthy bond. He also gave nice compliments about our boy and any parent just eats that up with pride. Thank you!

Our puppy is one of the best trained dogs because of Patrick at Dog Training Elite. I love that the trainers come to our home and work 1:1 with the dog in our/his space. Less distractions and very practical applications. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Patrick was patient with our dog and took time to explain and answer all of our questions.

Patrick was very friendly and professional and answered all of our questions.

Very informative and reassuring. Left feeling prepared for the next week of “homework” .

Great information in regards to our puppy training. In addition to the leave game, Patrick suggested to use a treat tray or lick it mat to help with engagement games as well.

Very calm, concise with training. I can already see the changes in my pup and myself in training.
