    Excellent morning of training. She gave us confidence that 3 1/2 year old dogs could be trained ( finally ) to be polite and obedient.

    Dog Training Elite Orlando has been a joy to work with from the start. We started chatting last October about getting help training a future service dog puppy. They answered every question, and even offered suggestions to help us on the journey. In March we went to meet them and some of their service dogs in training that they had available. A few weeks later they called to tell us that a fully trained service dog was coming into their care that would be perfect for our family. 2 weeks later we met Jake and brought him home. In the short 2.5 months we have had him he has already begun to change our lives in positive ways. DTE Orlando has been supportive and helpful through it all. All of the trainers we have met are passionate about helping the dogs become part of your family. Emily makes the drive to us in Plam Bay once a month to offer her expertise in our home and out in our community. We have already talked about how they will help us when the time comes for another service dog.

    Our evaluation/assessment visit today with Denise was outstanding. She explained everything with no pressure applied, answered our questions, and encouraged direct access for any later questions. She is very tuned in to reality with our dog, maintaining his personality while being very clear about how goals are to be accomplished with necessary behavior changes. We very much look forward to the training and seeing what we are certain will be great results. Update: 11Nov2025: started training and Renee is awesome!!! Thank you for helping our boy Rudy! Update: 12Nov2025: training this week has been amazing. Renee is outstanding and we appreciate the structure, details and the daily videos so much! Update 20Nov2025: Rudy completed his in-facility training today. It's been a great 2 weeks, and we highly recommend Dog Training Elite. This training has exceeded our expectations and we see positive results already. We know we will need to be diligent about our continued training but the foundation has been so well provided for Rudy and us. Can't say enough about how excellent, patient and knowledgeable Renee and Jessica are. Our boy is a very friendly and exuberant guy, and thanks to the tools provided to us by these outstanding trainers, we know he will be an even better version of himself. Update June 1, 2026: Had a great visit with Renee today for a little training tune-up. Excellent training as usual. Very helpful!! Thank you!

    Great dog trainers - all friendly, personable and engaging. As part of the training package we purchased, we worked with 3 different trainers who came to our house and taught our Goldendoodle puppy commands like place, heel and off like magic. They make it very easy to understand and replicate, and they truly care about your dog and about you. Highly recommend!

    This was by far the best of the best. Rob was always so gracious and took my dogs training seriously. He definitely cares about his work. His dogs are so well behaved and were involved in a lot of the training. I highly recommend this team. They truly are Elite! From Alyssa and Leesee

    In speaking with Denise I felt that she already knew my dog. She projects a deep understanding, and knowledge of the business. I have engaged her company to train our dog and expect great results.

    Encouraging always and willing to reiterate information so I can make good choices with my dogs and their continued journey of learning!!! Today was our last one on one session and I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and Dog Training Elite! She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and easily relays that knowledge and experience so I can teach my two Aussies! Great experience 10/10!!!

    We have been having the best experience with Red from Dog Training Elite. The format of the lessons are great and we feel so supported through this whole experience. Red made us feel like we can achieve our goals and he helped with any question we had. I always felt comfortable asking any questions and Red always had a helpful answer that really worked! He’s so knowledgeable and we cannot thank him enough for the happy doggies we have!

    We had an outstanding experience with Hannah, one of the trainers! She was knowledgeable, patient and sincerely invested in helping both us and our dog. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for professional and results-driven dog training.

    Reina has been absolutely perfect training my mini dachshund so far!! We're about 1/3 through training and he's like a whole new dog!! He couldn't do anything before and already he's out and about getting compliments on his good behavior. Absolutely recommend!!

    Rhett with Dog training Elite in Knoxville is great at breaking steps down, advocating for the client and the doggy, and great at boosting confidence. I had a bad run with a positive only trainer who didn't know what to do with an anxious dog and on top of that they weren't positive only with humans and totaled my confidence. Rhett came in and raised my confidence back and has helped my dog become more confident. I can wait to see what the 8wks has in store.

    Payton has been amazing to work with! We’ve completed 11 of our 12 one-on-one training sessions, and within just two months, our 5.5-month-old Goldendoodle, Cooper, became service dog certified. What I appreciated most was how much confidence she built in both Cooper and me throughout the process. From training in busy downtown environments to feeling comfortable dropping his leash in high-traffic public areas, Payton was there every step of the way with guidance, encouragement, and expertise. She doesn’t just train your dog…she teaches you how to be a confident handler too! I love that she gave me the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing Cooper’s training at home, even when she wasn’t there. Thank you so much Payton!
