Group Dog Training Class Schedule
Please Note: Group Classes are for Dog Training Elite Clients Only
Dog Training Elite offers small dog training classes after obedience training is completed and only once a dog is fully immunized. Dog obedience classes in Fort Wayne are held on a consistent basis and are included in most packages. Our dog obedience training classes are designed to place yourself and your dog in public places (surrounded by other dogs, people, smells, and sounds), so that you can train your dog to obey you... regardless of the many distractions screaming for their attention!
Our group class schedule is coming very soon...
...please check back often!
COVID-19 Reopening Guidelines
Dog Training Elite of Fort Wayne has been approved to reopen and resume offering our in-home training and group classes in Fort Wayne. We have reorganized our training programs to fit social distancing and heightened sanitation measures. In order to keep you and our training staff safe and healthy, we ask for your assistance on the following protocols.
In-Home & Office Guidelines
- If you or anyone in your household becomes sick, please inform us immediately. We can cancel and reschedule training sessions at no extra cost.
- Please follow general hygiene guidelines before and after your session, including hand washing.
- Thoroughly clean and disinfect all training tools before and after the session.
- If possible, most of the training session will take place outside - in your backyard or at a nearby park.
Group Class Guidelines
- We are limiting the size of group training sessions, so you must sign up online first.
- Only one person is permitted per sign up (RSVP for the number of dog attendees only). Multiple dogs are ok, but if they need more handlers you must sign up for each person individually.
- If you or anyone in your household becomes sick, you must reschedule.
We understand that you are excited about training your dog(s) and we want to provide you with services as quickly as possible, but we must maintain the health of our trainers in order to provide this service. Thank you for being flexible and proactive about preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Why Are Group Dog Training Classes Important?
- Provide Socialization
- Training Practice in Distracting Situations
- Fun and Friendly Community Building
- Small and Highly Personable
- For all Breeds and Sizes
- Included in Most Packages
- Basic Obedience Training Required
- Only for Fully Immunized Dogs
Classes are a mix of all dog breeds and sizes, and our classes provide necessary socialization skills and practice around high levels of distraction. We like to make our group classes exciting for both dogs and handlers, we have created fun training games and an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing. We are building a community and our dog training groups tend to feel like a family and less like a dog training group. Friends are made, bonds are formed, and both dogs and dog owners look forward to their once a week group training sessions.

Clint has done an excellent job working with my dog, Parker and me. The training sessions are consistent and detailed. We have learned quite a bit and are excited what we will learn in the future. Great job Clint. Thank you.— Denise J. Stump

My husband and I got a Belgian Malanois and knew we needed to get training for this smart, high-energy breed. We tried to do our own "YouTube" training... but that quickly proved we needed a professional. We were at our whit's end with Rogue (our Malanois). Clint came at the recommendation of a couple different friends who knew him, do we called him and set up training. Seriously, from DAY ONE, we saw such a difference in our dog! We swear she liked him better than us, her owners! He was always so helpful, accommodating and professional. He knows his stuff and it's evident, based on what we experienced during our sessions. Our only regret is that it went too quickly; Clint became a family friend! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing help with their dog!— Kaila Stafford

Clint was great with my 1 year old German Sheppard, Walker. Walker loves to run outside and sometimes ended up on the roof of the house. Clint provided the needed training to get Walker to listen when given a command. I really enjoyed the training at Lowes and Pet Smart to work on distractions. I feel confident that if I continue to use the tools he gave me, Walker will continue to improve and I will not worry about him not listening anymore. I would recommend Clint and Dog Training Elite to anyone who has a puppy or dog that needs obedience training.— Lisa Knapp

Dog training elite has worked wonders for our Golden doodle, Cooper, and cockapoo, Pepper. Cooper has had some situational aggression and Clint and Julia have helped with approaches and teaching us techniques for alleviating his tendencies. Pepper is coming along with her training as well. The results have been quick and loose leash walks were possible after the first session! We highly recommend giving Clint or Julia a call today!— Janet Brown

Clint has been amazing with our year old German Shepherd, Maximus. Max is reactive to other dogs on a leash, and during the one on one classes Clint has given us the tools to work on his reactivity. Clint also showed us how to work with Max on obedience training as well. We look forward to the group classes as well! He is a fantastic trainer, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I think Clint trained my wife and I more than he trained Max!— crazynexus

Clint was wonderful with our two year old German Shepherd, Rizzo. It was well worth the investment and Rizzo is much easier to handle. I can actually walk him now! Highly recommend!—

Clint was amazing with my golden doodle, Bowie. He was patient and taught me the commands needed and gave me confidence to control my very hyper puppy! Bowie is a completely different dog - still very lovable, but now she listens to commands and behaves so much better! Now my kids and grandkids will come visit me, as Bowie is no longer out of control! The neighbors are impressed that she no longer barks at everything that passes by! I highly recommend Clint to anyone needing professional dog training. It was such a great decision to make! Thank you, Clint!— Susan Mabe

Best decision I made. We are training for a therapy dog. Can’t believe how fast my dog has learned. My dog really seems to enjoy the time we practice she knows she has a job to do. Put the time in with your best friend you won’t be sorry. Elite has been great to work with 👍— Janelle Banks

Clint has been so patient and helpful with us and our energetic, anxious lab mix. He was a nipper, jumper and major leash-puller, in addition to having some trouble with anxiety and getting along with other dogs and staff at doggy day care. The in-home training sessions with Clint were really valuable, and Samson’s behavior is much more manageable just in time before we add a new baby to the family. We look forward to attending the group sessions soon!— Rachel Wetzel

Clint from Dog Training Elite is great. We were at our wits end with our Stella, a Mini Bernedoodle. My wife and I have had dogs of all kinds during our 37 year marriage. Stella has been the most challenging. When Clint arrived for our first session, I could tell he has a passion for training dogs and the client for success. There was immediate improvement the first day and everyday since. The investment in DTE 's training methods are well worthwhile.— Fred Converse
