In-Home Dog Training in Frisco, TX

From Fearful Rescue to Confident Companion – Exceptional Experience in Frisco! I cannot thank Joseph and the team at Dog Training Elite Frisco enough for the transformation in my 1-year-old GSD/Lab mix, Lily. I rescued Lily at 4 weeks old, and despite my best efforts, she struggled with severe anxiety, leash pulling, and reactivity toward people and other dogs. At 50 lbs, she was becoming impossible to walk, and I was truly worried she’d never be able to enjoy the world around her. After an insightful evaluation with Tra, we decided on the 2-week Board and Train. As a nervous dog mom, I was worried she would shut down, but Joseph was a godsend. To ease my anxiety, he provided daily pics and updates on her progress, which meant the world to me. Joseph didn’t just "train" her; he matched her energy, recognized her sweetness, and built her confidence from the ground up through discipline and engagement. He used creative training environments—like walks in the woods and outdoor sessions—to meet her exactly where she was. It’s clear Joseph views dog training as an art and is his passion; he invested so much heart into her, and the bond they formed was great to see. The "hand-off" was seamless. Joseph spent significant time showing me how to transfer those skills at home. Austin then provided the "missing link" with in-home reinforcement sessions. He was fantastic at coaching me to ensure I was executing commands the "right way" so Lily and I could have long-term success. Between the board and train and the group classes, Lily has become a thriving, loyal family companion. I have zero hesitation recommending Joseph for any Board and Train needs and Austin for expert in-home coaching. They didn't just train my dog; they empowered me to be a better owner and Lily a thriving, loyal family best friend!

We have had a great experience with Dog Training Elite! The center based training with Austin was very helpful with necessary basic commands, and the in home sessions with Ali were amazing with specific needs in our home environment. Their office staff, along with their trainers are wonderful and truly care about your pups well being!

Ali is an amazing trainer! She is so kind and patient. Ali has helped Daisy so much with her anxiety.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the training I have received so far with my dog saki! She did a two week in training facility followed up with several sessions with Tra. I am really pleased with the results I have seen so far. Saki is the sweetest dog but she doesn’t not do well meeting new people in my own home. She had even nipped a few friends. We have been able to work on that with her and I have learned how to help her be more calm and have less anxiety when meeting new people. Previous training groups basically said I would just have to put her in another room which didn’t work because she would just bark the entire time. Now I know how to get her to be quiet and it be peaceful even if she isn’t ready to meet the person yet. I really appreciate the free consultation provide because that made me decide immediately that Tra and the rest of the team were perfect for Saki. They are also very prompt with scheduling as well. Next step is working on big boy Bear and excitement around others! Will be working with them again in the future!

Off to a bit of a rough start being transferred between trainer. Then got Alina who earned my dog’s trust and now he loves lessons and works hard. We have made great progress and are almost ready for our trip to Utah. Cannot say enough great things about her.

Ali’s been great with me and my dog Spike, who has “reacted” negatively to people and other dogs, but he likes Ali (almost), as much as me, and that says a lot. Ali is good at communicating with both of us, and we’ve made significant progress with obedience and recall, and we’re working on getting Spike more comfortable around other dogs. I’ve been very happy with Ali as our trainer.

My puppy is currently being trained by Dog Training Elite, and our experience has been great. Ali is our trainer and she is phenomenal at what she does. My dog gets beyond excited to see Ali every single time she arrives for our sessions. She knows exactly what she is doing, is so loving with my dog but also gets him to do precisely what she wants him to do. It’s incredible to watch him work with her. You can tell she really takes pride in her trade and also loves dogs so much and truly wants to see the dog and their owner succeed in their training.

Ali has been awesome working with my mini dachshund, Lucia. From the beginning, she has been patient, intentional, and genuinely invested in helping Lucia grow. Lucia has made so much progress since working with her. Ali has been training her in service tasks, which is her specialty, and it has been amazing to watch Lucia build confidence and truly step into her work. You can tell Ali really understands how to train service dogs with clarity and purpose, and she takes the time to make sure both the dog and the handler understand what is being asked. Her group classes have also been such a great experience. They are challenging in the best way and push both the dogs and the handlers to think and stay engaged. She keeps everyone on their toes and creates real life scenarios that make a big difference in how reliable the dogs become. I am so grateful for the care, structure, positive energy, and knowledge Ali brings to her training. Lucia would not be where she is without her, and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for serious, intentional training.

The best! Ally turned our dog stubborn puppy into a compliant angel! Thank you so much. 💙💙💙💙💙

Jordan is one of the trainers that we worked with in training our Rottweiler, Naya. He used his Rottweiler, Atlas, to aid in the training of our girl. It was obvious that his dog was expertly trained. It was very impressive to watch him interact with him. Jordan was very knowledgeable and professional. He helped us immensely. Each session we had, I felt like we got more than our money’s worth. We could see progress very quickly in our Naya. I would and have recommended Jordan and DTE to anyone.

Ali has been my service dog trainer for myself and my Golden Retriever, Cooper. She is very knowledgeable in her training and her ability to effortlessly maintain control over a very active and curious, 4 month old puppy is amazing! After only a couple of months, I am now able to take Cooper anywhere with me, including restaurants, where he is a complete angel and stays in place with no further commands. I also have another Golden and a rescue dog in my home and with all of the distractions they create, I still am able to maintain control of Cooper. Ali has changed mine and Cooper’s life, allowing me to comfortably go wherever I desire. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone with the need for service dog training, or any type of training. Also, I consider Ali a friend as well since my entire furry family absolutely loves her!!

Highly recommend Dog Training Elite, and specifically Ali as a dog trainer! Ali has been doing in-home sessions with us to help our Maltipoo puppy learn core obedience skills- including sit, place, down, heel, leave it, and more. As first-time dog owners, we’ve found her guidance invaluable. Ali is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and warm, but she also doesn’t hesitate to give us honest feedback when we need it, which we truly appreciate! Our puppy absolutely loves her, and each session leaves us feeling more confident and equipped. We’ve seen such great progress and genuinely recommend Ali and Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for an effective dog-training experience.

I have a 7 months Dutch shepherd mix, I am very happy with the training, already can see improvements on my dog and Ali our trainer is so nice, she is always on time and very kind but firm. We are still at the beginning of the journey but so far I’m happy and excited for the future. Thank you so much. Today was my last class, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My puppy and I worked with three different trainers: Ali, Trey, and Austin, and each one exceeded my expectations. What really stands out is that they took the time to understand both me and my dog as individuals, tailoring each session to our specific needs, pace, and level of maturity. I always felt seen, supported, and understood. Their communication as a team is also exceptional, no matter which trainer you work with, they’re all on the same page and aware of your progress and goals. I 100% recommend Elite. We’re even hoping to move toward service dog training next, so hopefully more to come soon!

They have changed the staff and ever since they are more engaging without never following up with you. “Ali” a new dog trainer is amazing. They need more people like her that are passionate to teach and know what they’re doing. Ever since I had training sessions with her my dog and I have been behaving tremendously well and are improving fast. When I started that wasn’t the case. I grateful for having Ali with us. She is a sleeping gem.They need people like her that want to be there and not just show up to the session and do the minimum and leave. The only con is that they never follow up or find you to keep rescheduling. If you never contact them they will never contact you. That’s the only issue I see but other than that good people. Now things look Better with “Kelly” the scheduler as she leaves reminders and figures out how to go around your schedule and make your needs met for the dog to be trained.

I’ve had a few in home trainings now with Ali. She’s great! Super knowledgeable, is able to command authority and show sweetness to my dog at the same time! Shes confident and dedicated to the training. One time my dog was being a little testy and she patiently continued to give a command until he responded. And then she loved on him and rewarded him! She’s a great teacher for me as well! She helps me understand how to implement the same training Elite does with my dog at home and at work. 10/10 Recommend Ali and Elite!!

We had a great experience with our trainer Ali. Our dog made good progress during the basic program and we look forward to continuing with her.

I cannot say enough good things about this training facility!!! They were flexible and encouraging as we worked thru the training and my dogs anxiety. Ali, specifically, has been a life saver and has really connected with my pup. She has made training fun and even possible (which was questionable at first). I highly recommend training here!!

Very happy with Dog Training Elite. Great trainers who are wonderful to work with especially Ali and Megan.

We have had 3 puppy training sessions and are very impressed with the knowledge, patience and passion Ali has! 10/10 recommend!

We have worked with several trainers from here and they have all been great. Ali is exceptional. She is very professional, kind and wise. Our dog has gone from an absolutely unmanageable puppy, to an under control lovable boy. He has transformed under their great training and we are SO grateful! We love him, and we love Dog Training Elite!
