    Please use this service if you are in need of a good dog trainer!!! Clint was so great working with my dog. She was very ill-tempered and suffers from separation anxiety. She had biting issues and was very temperamental to others and other dogs. When I inquired with other trainers they were not helpful and did nothing but throw kibbles on the ground. Clint on the other hand honed right on to the issues and helped me greatly when all other avenues seemed lost, especially when evening walking my dog was difficult. I was completely grateful for his fast service and the patience he had with my dog. Thank you Clint and Elite Dog Training for helping me and my dog!

    My dog was very anxious about a lot of things. I tried independently to help him, but I wasn't getting results. This company has shown me techniques that have now gotten us to the point where my dog is getting so much braver. Nathan was patient and reassured me that even my dog, a little older, a rescue, and with severe anxiety, could be helped. He was right. I love that now that personal training is over, I can get in group classes, which helps my dog get more socialized and confident. I can email with questions that might come up. This is a great company.

    When we reached out to Dog Training Elite Fort Wayne, we were desperate for help in training our 7 month old stubborn French bulldog. He is such a sweet soul but his behaviors were exhausting and nothing we did seemed to work. Within a week of requesting a consultation we were signed up and working our first session. We noticed a huge improvement immediately and continued to be overjoyed with the progress our puppy made. We are finally in a place where we can really enjoy him and he can do so much more with us now! It has been truly life changing. We had Nathan for all of our private sessions and he was wonderful to work with. We cannot thank him enough for the time and energy he dedicated to Porkchop’s training. I would highly recommend reaching out to Elite and working with Nathan for all of your training needs!

    Nathan was wonderful at training our Cavapoo to be a therapy dog. He was very professional, knowledgeable and fun to work with! I highly recommend 👍

    The training was exceptional. Both Nathan and Clint were fantastic. Knowledgeable and professional. My two older dogs 10 and 8 had never received training and really needed some help - I needed some help - and within a few sessions and I really saw a transformational change. I feel much more comfortable taking my dogs out in public. On walks. One of the best investments I’ve made. Highly recommend!!!

    We had a fantastic experience with Dog Training Elite Fort Wayne! Our 5-month-old English Shepherd didn’t even know her name or how to wear a collar before we started training. Nathan and Clint worked with us over six sessions, and the transformation has been incredible. They not only helped her learn commands but also taught us why she behaves the way she does and how she responds to different situations. We learned what behaviors to watch for and how to set her up for success. Each session was informative, and they were always available to answer questions, review commands, and provide guidance for at-home training. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build a strong foundation with their dog!

    Our little Georgi had a great time learning from two great trainers, Nathan & Clint. They both loved on Georgi while training her and she looked forward to the training. They were very clear and consistent with their commands to Georgi and with explanation of the commands to both my wife and myself. We are able to continue our training throughout the week with ease. The 5 weeks flew bye and we look forward to the park visits on Saturdays. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a stronger relationship with their puppies.

    Nathan was my trainer and he was great. My dog is smart, but easily distracted and very stubborn. Nathan was very good with my dog. He was very good at explaining how the training works and giving me good tips when my dog was being challenging. I would recommend this training to anyone who wants their dog to be well trained and happy.

    We had a Soft Coated Wheaton who needed help with some behavioral issues (aggressive towards other dogs, barking, walking, etc.). Dog Training Elite has helped tremendously. The in home training was great for our whole family to learn together. Also the in home training helped our dog learn in a familiar environment (full of the usual distractions). Nathan the trainer was always kind, patient, and helpful in answering all of our questions. Nathan has taught our whole family tools and commands to help our dog improve tremendously with his behavior issues. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

    Nathan is phenomenal! Our Great Dane Tiberius has transformed and became manageable. We are very grateful, and could not be happier with the results.

    My 2 year old shih tzu, Buddy was driving me crazy with all the barking and lunging at other dogs and cars. I now have a much calmer dog - who listens when I give him a command. The difference is AMAZING! Nathan is great at communicating the method and why. It's obvious he loves dogs. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

    I would recommend Dog Training Elite of Ft Wayne to anyone that wants their dog to be awesome. In just the 2 months of private lessons, my husband and i have seen an improvement in our dog. And I want to give a huge shout out to Clint and Zandra to help me train Athena

    I got a golden retriever puppy September 2023. This pup was scared to get in a car & did not like walks. I hired Elite to help me with training. They were awesome!! Clint, Nathan & Zandra were all part of his training. He just turned 1 on 5/25/2024 & he is the best behaved dog I have ever had. He loves his walks and has no problem getting in the car. I recommend them highly!

Our Training Method

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training, the approach matters. At Dog Training Elite Northeast Indiana, we rely on a balanced combination of positive reinforcement and gentle electronic collar techniques to provide the best results for you and your dog.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Dogs are eager to please and we take advantage of this in our training method. Unlike other trainers that use harsh punishment to reinforce behavior, we only use positive tactics. By showing dogs what we want them to do with positive reinforcement, we receive a better response. This is the preferred method for dog lovers! We certainly do not want to harm dogs, and we know most dog owners agree with us.
  • Electronic Collar: Our trainers use an electronic collar to support their positive reinforcement training methods. This is not a shock collar. The electronic collar simply gets your dog's attention and ensures superior training results when paired with a command.
  • Stronger Bonds: To develop stronger bonds between dog and family, we ask dog owners and other family members to take part in training sessions. Our goal is to help you train your new dog as a valuable member of your family with love and trust.
