Ramiro Rodriguez

Owner & Head Trainer

Stephany Rodriguez

Head of Operations & Trainer

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.

We reached out to Dog Training Elite to do puppy training for our Great Dane. Before we started training we were having a really hard time getting our puppy to pay attention and listen. Throughout training and after we have a completely different dog. Stephany and Alli were amazing and always made the training fun and informative. I would recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone!

I have struggled with my black lab mix since I rescued him at 4 months old. He is now 3 yrs old. We have struggled with Eddie being fear reactive to strangers and other dogs. I tried everything. I mean everything as in music, calming treats, two types of medication that the vet prescribed and four different trainers etc. I am so thankful that I found Ramiro and his wife. Since the first day of meeting Ramiro he has been easy to talk to. He listened to my concerns and my goals and made them happen. The one on one training at my home, different neighborhoods and even my sons high school baseball game has been the best experiences for Eddie and I. Our last one on one was at home depot and Eddie made me so proud by accepting a treat from a stranger with no issues. Finally, the group class is amazing! Knowing that us and others at the group class are all there for the same reason. Very comforting to know that it is a controlled environment and the trainers are there to help you and your dog get through the tough parts confidently. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We have a smart but stubborn shiba-sheltie who’s 4. We were contemplating having to rehome her due to her debilitating anxiety. We tried everything from vet help, medication, YouTube training videos, etc. We decided it was time to turn to obedience training and that was the best decision we have ever made. The free consultation was super helpful for us to make the decision and have any questions answered. We got matched with Ramiro for our training and he was so knowledgeable, friendly, and helped transform our dogs confidence which drastically improved her anxiety! We went with the platinum package as that came with unlimited training and group classes. Ramiro made sure that we had our needs met and constantly checked in to make sure we felt satisfied with the training and would ask if we felt anything was missing. This couldn’t have been a better experience for us and our dog. We could have done weekly trainings forever it was that enjoyable. Thank you to Ramiro and his wife for the support and experience overall! They run a great business and are so passionate about what they do. 1000/10 will always recommend them!

Elite training took our rambunctious 18 month old who rarely listened, to an obedient, well behaved pup! I never would have imagined he could be turned around so quickly! Addressed every behavior we wanted help with - jumping up, off leash listening, manners when visitors to the home, walking without pulling. I liked the benefit of in home training by correcting behaviors where we mostly are. Quality of training was well worth the cost and liked that all training tools were included. It was clear to me how not only knowledgeable the staff is, but they genuinely care about the health and well-being of our dog and our family.

Dog Training Elite all the way!!! I bought a Belgian Malinois puppy, right off the bat the owner Ramiro knew what course of action to take to tame this three month old beast. Over the course of my eight week package I had the pleasure of getting to know Ramiro and his wife Stephany, these two take their job very passionately and seriously. I am extremely happy that I made the wise decision to go through Dog Training Elite because if I did not I would probably have a very stubborn puppy. The results of Ramiro and Stephany's Training is not only very effective but rewarding in its own ways, I would HIGHLY recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who is thinking of getting any breed puppy or is just looking to train an old dog some new tricks!!! Thank you Ramiro and Stephany for your time and effort towards me and Maverick!!!

Stephanie and Ramiro are excellent at training you and your dog. Ramiro solved some issues I was having with my German Shepherd. Communication was excellent. He was flexible with scheduling. He adapted and tailored a program to accommodate my needs and goals. His method works!

I am so happy that I made the decision to call this business. Ramero helped me and my dog immensely. I was ready to give up on her but Ramero’s patience and training with both of us helped turn things around. I now enjoy my dog and look forward to the Group sessions to build what we have learned. Thank you for helping us!!

The most important thing my dog learned was door manners, she used to bark her fool head off every time we had visitors and would not calm down until they left. Now she can be out of her kennel and is quiet the whole time they are here

Romero is great to work with. He took his time to review our family needs and was able to develop a plan that worked for us and our 2 Belgian Malinois. He is very knowledgeable, patient and open to feedback. If you follow the plan he created, and put the work in, I’m sure that your dog(s) will be well trained. We loved working with him and are happy to continue our journey with him. Kasha and Larry.

There is nothing better than a well behaved, obedient pup that can grow old with us. Ramiro and Stephanie did a great job. They were very professional. Totally enjoyed the training. Enjoy our well-trained Dog. It was a total success.

Our Coco had more spunk in her than we knew what to do with! It wasn’t until some friends came over & our 7-mo. old used our furniture like a parkour course, which was very embarrassing. She also had developed some bad habits that we didn’t know how to correct. We knew the training investment to have an obedient dog would make all of our lives much less stressful. We looked around & DOG TRAINING ELITE was by far the best value with options that allowed us to prioritize & choose the plan that was best for us and Coco. Ramiro & Stephanie were professional, organized, and we loved training Coco in our home. It was a great educational opportunity for us and taught us how to be amazing humans and see Coco happy and feel rewarded for learning life skill commands that we will use everyday. We can’t wait for our next stage of dog socialization where Coco will learn how to build her confidence and understand boundaries to keep her safe on outings and still have a ton of fun! We love the peace of mind and no stress days with our adorable well behaved Coco Chanel Robertson! Cheers🎉 Jon & Sarah

We found Dog training elite after realizing 12 weeks of pet store training was not carrying over to home. In home personalized training with Ramiro has taken our energetic puppy from one who maybe listened and bolted out the door, to one I could trust on an off leash walk. Well worth the investment to have a well behaved obedient dog.

We had an amazing experience with Ramiro. Super knowledgeable and extremely helpful with training our dog Henry. We were able to work through his aggression issues, and he learned basic manners that every dog should know. Henry went from a dog who was unable to be walked outside or meet new people to a well behaved, obedient, happy boy. It was well worth it, and we appreciate all of the help we’ve gotten. Highly recommend!!

Our rescue, Bandit, is loving but definitely had behavioral issues. Dog Training Elite was recommended by our groomer and we are so happy we decided to invest in this training. Stephanie was amazing, and was calm and patient with Bandit. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

Kevin and I have a bloodhound named Cash. She needed a lot of training with obedience and aggression mostly towards me. Romiro is amazing. He listened to all of our needs and concerns. His training sessions included Cash and Kevin and I as well. She learned many commands and I can now take her for a walk on a leash instead of her taking me! We definitely recommend Dog Training Elite if you are looking for help with your fur baby! Thank you Romiro for everything.

My boyfriend and I have a 5 month old belgian malinois that we got in november of 2023! He is the sweetest little man, but needed some major guidance in obedience. We were struggling for a while debating what, where, when, and how we should do training. We just happened to come across Dog Training Elite on a random weekday night, little did we know all our prayers would be answered!! Ramiro and Stephany are by far some of the best people we’ve had the pleasure of working with. they take the time to get to know their customers, and what they’re looking for. Maverick went through an 8 week platinum training program starting in December, and he just passed his Good Canine Citizen test with flying colors!! So young yet!! I really don’t think we could have made a better decision than going with Dog Training Elite. You can truly feel the care they put into their work, even outside of training sessions. Thank you Ramiro and Stephany! You guys have truly helped us raise our little man!

We adopted Ollie from another family. We were warned that he had some anxiety and behavioral issues such as resource guarding. When we first adopted him he was taking anxiety medication daily. We started working with Ramiro the same week that we took Ollie off the anxiety medication and everything took off from there. Ollie is a completely different dog from when we first adopted him. He is a lot more confident in himself and us as his owners. We now have the confidence in him to listen to our commands in a timely fashion even if there are distractions. We could not thank Ramiro and Dog Training Elite enough for the work they have put in with Ollie.
