Many dog owners express frustration when their dog returns from obedience school and has not learned one command successfully. While obedience school trainers teach your dog simple commands, effective training is best done at home with the owner. Each dog is unique, with its own temperament and behavioral issues. Full-scope training is not possible to achieve without an in-home dog training program.
During in-home sessions, trainers get to know the dog and its environment. There are often particular issues- chasing the mailman or barking at the neighbor’s cat - that are not observed in an out-of-home setting. Bringing a professional dog trainer into your home creates a personalized training experience, that addresses your dog’s particular issues.
In-home dog training is more successful than group classes because it minimizes distractions. Basic obedience and behavioral issues must first be addressed with one-on-one private training, and then these lessons can be tested in a more distracting environment. Dog Training Elite Dallas—Fort Worth takes a comprehensive approach, pairing in-home training with group lessons to ensure your dog fully retains every command and can respond appropriately regardless of the environment.
In-home dog trainers can address a variety of issues, such as:
- Housebreaking
- Leash pulling
- Aggression
- Anxiety
- Ignoring commands
- Excessive barking
- Jumping on people
- Destructive behaviors

Positive Training Methods
At Dog Training Elite Dallas—Fort Worth, we understand that you want the best for your dog, and our goal is to ensure all training experiences are positive for you and your furry friend! Our team of trainers has learned that positive reinforcement and classical conditioning are the most effective training methods. We never use punishment - we love dogs and we want them to learn in a positive, safe environment! By rewarding dogs for good behavior rather than punishing negative behaviors, our trainers effectively teach your canine companion how to behave.
In Home Dog Training Goals
While our professional dog trainers will be taking the lead, you, and any other family members who interact with your dog will be a part of the training process as well. In-home dog training empowers you and helps you build a positive relationship with your dog.
Benefits of Positive In-Home Training Techniques
Develop a Strong Bond
Dogs enjoy training sessions if they take place with the person they love. Listening, learning, and acting on commands is a way for your dog to show you that he cares! The praise you bestow your pup (and the tasty treat you give) makes him happy, and this experience of learning is a great bonding activity.
Sending your dog off to obedience school removes you from the training process and prevents this special bonding from occurring. When you choose Dog Training Elite Dallas—Fort Worth, we ensure you are part of the training process. All in-home training programs involve you and any other family members that care for your dog. Our trainers’ goal is to teach you how to train your dog.
Quickly Teach Obedience
Obedience commands are essential to any full-scope dog training program. These commands ensure the safety of your dog and prevent any undesired problems. Obedience is the core of successful training, and your dog must learn these commands before he can progress.
Our in-home training program focuses on ingrained obedience and our trainers ensure your dog learns essential commands, such as sit, place, come, stay, lay, off, drop it, and more. Once these key lessons are taught, our trainers will work with you and your pup on more advanced topics.
Correct Problem Behaviors
Does your dog jump up as a greeting, or charge the door anytime visitors announce their arrival with the doorbell? Or perhaps he begs from the table with wide, puppy eyes? These problem behaviors are easily corrected with the right training techniques.
Group classes or “puppy essentials” training programs cannot address most problem behaviors, as these issues are more likely to occur at home where your dog is most comfortable and confident. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home is the best way to address these behaviors!
In-Home Dog Trainers in Frisco
Searching for a professional dog trainer is stressful. Thankfully, Dog Training Elite Dallas—Fort Worth has various locations and experienced professional dog trainers ready to assist you and your pet. Besides basic obedience issues, our trainers are experienced in service dog training, therapy dog training, and any other specialized training your pup may need. If you are looking for in-home dog trainers in Frisco, then look no further than Dog Training Elite.
We never use shock collars or punishments; our training method focuses on positive reinforcement, which has proven successful. We combine this positive reinforcement with an electronic vibration collar for optimal results. The vibration collar is not a shock collar nor does it cause pain - it is used to get your dog’s attention, like the tug of a leash. Our techniques have proven successful over the years, and we are proud to be a trusted provider of dog training services in the Frisco area.
Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.
Empowering Owners
We empower owners to train so their dog knows who to obey at all times.
Personalized
We deal with problem behaviors on a personal basis.
Environment Specific
We train wherever issues tend to arise (i.e. jogging, park, home).
Supportive
We support owners in the off-hours (when training is "not in session").
Involved
We work with all members of the household.
Simplified & Customized
We plan training around the owner's schedule and require only 20 min/day follow-up practice.
Continued Training
Additional programs / group sessions offered after in-home training.
Lifetime Investment
We follow up & are invested in the owner's success long-term.
Satisfaction Ratings
Our high client satisfaction rating sets us apart from competitors.

Why Choose a Professional?
Hiring a professional, in-home trainer will provide you and your dog with the personalized, distraction-free, supportive environment you both deserve. Your four-legged family member will be the star of your sessions, and you will learn how to communicate effectively with your dog to achieve the best results.
Why train at all? Training keeps your dog's mind active and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Whether you're interested in agility training, learning some tricks or something else, a professional trainer will help you prioritize what is important to you and your dog.
In-home training allows you to make appointments around your busy schedule, eliminating the need to commit to group training sessions. Schedule sessions when you can be present to celebrate all the growth your dog accomplishes.
Dog Training Elite Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) offers the best in-home dog training in Frisco because we understand every dog is different. Our professional trainers will tailor training to your dog's breed, their environment and any other needs they have. They can give suggestions and tips for bonding with your dog and help to translate your dog's behavior. Our trainers love watching the relationships between dogs and their owners grow through this approach.
No one expects you to be an expert. That's what the experts at Dog Training Elite are for! A professional trainer is committed to your growth and can take the time to break things down without rushing you through a session. Your dog will love this style of training, and we know you will too!

We are so happy with all of the work we have done with Dog Training Elite. While all of the trainers are professional and knowledgeable, we spent most of our sessions with Luke and couldn't be more pleased. We recently took Delilah on my work trip to Vancouver. She is only 9 months old, and we have been in training for about 5 months. She performed so well! She was perfect on the planes, great through TSA and even controlled her zoomies for 8 days. She was amazing. One thing I loved about this program, and working with Luke, was the focus on functional commands and obedience. They teach the basics for everything you need to be successful with a service dog, without any of the fluff. Another great aspect was that Luke always had his own service dog Cowboy with him and could easily model what commands and skills should look like. Plus Cowboy is just so damn cute. Thank you Dog Training Elite and especially Luke and Cowboy!— Kris Thibault

This is a great place to train your dog. In just two sessions we’ve seen remarkable results and plan on coming back for a while. Highly recommend.— Ruhaab Markas

We love Dog Training Elite, especially our trainer Felicity. She was a huge help with our first puppy and was an obvious choice for our second. With each lesson our pups learn a behavior/skill and then we learn how to give the command and reinforce the behavior/skill on our own. Having a well behaved dog makes dog ownership a lot more enjoyable and we highly recommend this company anytime someone asks.— Alison Ford

Awesome !! Eval went good so good I hired them to train my Belgian Malnois !! Haven't started yet ( next week) they are so busy . But just what he did for her in my home was impressive . These guys are professional and very clear with their objectives and goals for your pet and for what you need as an owner . So looking forward to working with them . Thanks Trey I appreciate you bringing your Mal just so I could see how they should be acting and not a crazy hyper Mal like I have as she is only a yr old this month. I am so excited for these lessons to begin. Kim M— Kim Margowski

Phenomenal! We purchased the 4 class puppy training- it was great to get different perspectives and work on what we needed help with, not just their agenda of training. Training was logical, easy to follow, and customized to our puppy who learned certain things faster and other items slower. Highly recommend for puppy training. Would be great if they offered one off hour sessions afterwards instead of having to purchase a full package.— Rachel Nosal

Could not say enough good things about Elite Dog Training from the communication, to the professionalism and patience they bring every step of the way. And special shout out to Felicity who has been amazing every visit and has performed a miracle with my dog, Olive!— Elizabeth Swiontek

We started with DTE-Frisco this spring for our puppy. The training surpassed our expectations to the point where we went with the two week camp training. Again, our expectations were surpassed on what our dog learned, the quickness she learned it and the exceptional professionalism they showed. Especially Luke. He has been an exceptional trainer with his patience, passion and care for our dog. Everyone at DTE has been great but I can't say enough great things about Luke. Now that our dog has done so well, she's on to therapy training as she thrives around people. We've been so happy with DTE. I would highly recommend anyone with a puppy to start off on the right "paw" and jump on the training. You and puppy will be happier for it!— Jessica B

I started my training with my Puppy when she was 8 weeks old. Like has been working with us for the last 3 months and I am SO happy with where Oakley is now. Luke goes above and beyond and is so good with my pup. 10/10 recommend.— Catherine Calomeni

I have had the absolute best experience with Dog Training Elite. We started with puppy training and are now in obedience, after that we will start training for service dog! Jordan, Felicity and Luke are kind, personable, obviously care for my dog. They are patient and listen and answer all my questions. I never feel rushed, and they take my disability into account while we are training. That is very much appreciated. They go way above and beyond 🥰. I wholeheartedly recommend Dog Training Elite for any of your training needs.— Elizabeth McKenzie

We were looking for help with our 65lb 11 month old pit rescue when we found DTE. Theo has severe anxiety - mostly involving new experiences and the outdoors. We like to travel and getting him into the vehicle and keeping him inside it was a nightmare. Theo was terrified of being on a leash and would try to back out of his collars and harnesses. This made the experience nerve racking, knowing catching him in a fearful environment would be next to impossible. We can now walk Theo on a leash and he wags his tail while doing so. There are times when he is still scared but they are getting less and less as we continue to work with him. We had wonderful experienced with most everyone who came out to the house for our sessions but Felicity and Jordan were our favorites. Both had exceptional teaching skills and I felt we got the most out of those lessons. It is clear they both enjoy their jobs and the animals they work with. While Theo is no best in class puppy, he was said to be most improved! Would recommend DTE to others looking for help with their companions.— Ashley Rubino

I couldn’t recommend Dog Training Elite more!! Felicity and Jordan have been direct and patient while working with Maggie and I. Without them, I would not have the smart and confident dog I have now and would be a ball of frustration. I always look forward to our sessions so I can see my girl grow!!— Daniel Williams

We worked pepper and indie with Jordan a handful of times during our training. Jordan and atlas were fantastic with indigo. Jordan was firm with her in her training and gave us pointers to correct her reactivity to other dogs and to help her pulling on the leash. Atlas was well mannered and a great partner to help stimulate indigo and let her react in a controlled environment. I would recommend Dog training elite to anyone. Our two dogs are much better mannered, have boundaries, and get along much better.— ezra auerbach

Awesome training. They helped me with a few behavioral issues I had with my Great Dane. They are very patient, courteous & compassionate !!! Well worth the money. Bentley is soon to become a service dog— Kimberly Rybka

Jordan was extremely helpful and patient! We have way too many dogs with lots of personalities. He was able to assist with E collars and beginning training for us. He was professional and efficient. I would recommend Jordan and Elite any day!— Diana Durden

I would recommend Dog Training Elite to everyone! I had the opportunity to work with many talented members of their team. Jordan and his amazing dog Atlas helped me and Aries work on distractions in public. He was patient, clear and very knowledgeable. Jordan took the time to explain how Aries and I could be a better team and help pass our PSA. If I could give 10 stars to the Dog Training Elite team I would!!!!— Sharon Davidov

Jordan has trained our dog on multiple occasions, in our home and in public places (our pup needed help with wanting to bark at every dog she saw). He was attentive, helpful, able to answer ALL of our questions, and kind. We would recommend him to anyone.— Alli Thompson

Chesty has been a remarkable addition to our family. Since we first got him as a puppy we knew he had great potential, we just never knew how. We started working with Jordan and his dog Atlas with basic to intermediate training. We were impressed with his level of dedication and professionalism that we decided to continue Chesty’s advanced training. His level of knowledge and expertise was quickly demonstrated, having a steadfast and effective solution for every issue that Chesty had was something that we truly appreciated. Kyler and Tray have helped transform him from your average family pet, to a certified service animal that will protect and love our family for years to come. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite for any and all dog training development.— rigoberto solis

Jordan and his dog Atlas were amazing with my puppy, Punxsy. She was in training to be a service dog, and he was so patient, knowledgeable, and Punxsy loved him. Punxsy is now a certified service dog (only 7 months old), and I was able to fly home to Delaware a week ago to visit my family. She was perfect in the airport and on the plane. Jordan played a major role in her training and getting her certified as a service dog. Thank you Jordan and Atlas!— Sheena McIntire
