Dogs trained through Dog Training Elite West Valley's Protection Training Programs are pets first, protectors second. Personal protection is both fun and provides added peace of mind. Our Personal Protection Training is command-based, meaning that our dogs are taught to have control and not be aggressive until asked to engage with a threat.

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.

I can not recommend Dog Training Elite DTE) strong enough!!!! From day 1 the changes in my dog’s behavior blew me away. My Akita knew the basics and was a very good dog but I wanted an exceptional dog. A dog that would protect me or my family when needed but also he needed to be on his best behavior at ALL times. My training began with Karen (an excellent trainer with a natural gift to communicate with your furry best friend) Now we are working directly with Neil and everyday I feel like we are moving leaps and bounds. My Akita looks forward to his training days and he truly is a very happy participant in his training process. He wants to do all the things we ask of him and you can tell he cannot wait to learn something new and receive my praise. Again I highly recommend Neil and his team. If you want your dog to be the dog you see in the movies then DTE is the only call you have to make!!!!— mari griffin

My dog has been in training for a couple months now and Savanna has been amazing. She always listens to my concerns and is able to come up with solutions when my dog was having difficulty with a skill. This has been a great experience for Tod and I. Thank you, Dog Training Elite and Savanna!!!— Heidi Hollister

Savanna with dog Training Elite is amazing! She is very patient and friendly to my overly hyper dog Cairo. She’s also very knowledgeable about training dogs and always provided the reason they train they way they do, which for me is very important.She explains in great detail and is always willing to help and give advice. I highly recommended this training company for you furry friend!!!— Adelia Esquibel
