Green Bay / Appleton Dog Socialization Classes

Socialization is crucial for a dog’s development, significantly impacting their anxiety levels, aggressive tendencies, and overall well-being. At Dog Training Elite, we recognize this importance and offer socialization training to help your pup feel comfortable around different people, animals, and unfamiliar places.

We introduce socialization in a controlled and structured way. Once you and our trainers are confident in your dog’s obedience training, we gradually introduce them to our dog socialization classes in Green Bay / Appleton, WI and public settings. By prioritizing obedience first, we ensure your dog has a strong foundation of self-control and responsiveness, making the process smoother and more successful.

At Dog Training Elite, we are committed to minimizing stress for both you and your dog. We use proven techniques and involve you from the very beginning. Whether you’re out for a walk, visiting a friend, or navigating a busy public space, you’ll have confidence in your abilities and your dog’s behavior.

When to Socialize Your Puppy

Read More
Read Less

Socialization for dogs should be happening throughout their lifetime. Still, getting a good start as early as possible is always best.

Socialization for puppies starts at just three weeks old as they begin to engage with their littermates and the world around them. The “sensitive period of socialization,” when puppies are primed and ready to try new things, is from 3-14 weeks of age. Because puppies can go to new homes at around eight weeks old, you only have a small window to get that necessary socialization training done.

You can start puppy socialization classes in Green Bay / Appleton, WI with DTE as soon as you bring your puppy home at eight weeks old! Our classes are puppy safe and provide an excellent opportunity for your puppy to meet new dogs and people while having new experiences outside your home.

What Do Our Puppy Socialization Classes in Green Bay / Appleton, WI Look Like?

Read More
Read Less

Puppy and dog socialization is not about teaching new commands or obedience but creating a positive experience around new stimuli. Socialization can look like taking them around your neighborhood, letting them hear and smell things at their own pace, and offering plenty of soft treats. It can also look like introducing them to a friend's healthy dog in a safe place and allowing them to greet the dog and learn about social cues and behavior from them, all while offering treats and praise.

Our socialization classes teach your puppy or dog that even if something is new, it can be safe and fun to explore! We create opportunities for your pet to safely meet new dogs, smell new things, hear new sounds, walk on different surfaces, and meet new friendly people.

Socialization is all about removing fear and entering new situations with curiosity.

    We took our puppy here to learn basic manners and obedience and they exceeded our expectation! In just 1 month our puppy has not only learned the commands but knows to listen when we give commands. The team was so helpful through the whole process; answered all our questions and made us comfortable with everything that came with training. Absolutely recommend them for any dog training needs! Thank you Larissa and Marcy for all your hard work!

    Every dollar is well spent with Elite Northeast Dog Training. Everyone who knew my dog knew he was a sweetie, but he didn’t always show it to most people—everyone said he “needed training.” After searching for a while, I found Elite Northeast and never doubted they could help me and my reactive dog. Now, I get daily compliments on how “good” and “well-behaved” he is, and I truly feel the difference—both of us are so much less stressed and more confident.

    Shiloh is a wonderful part of our family. He’s smart and trainable so we wanted him to get to be the best dog possible. We knew we needed help so we asked Dog Training Elite. Thanks to the great folks at their facility and Brianna we are pleased and proud of the progress Shiloh has made. Thank you Dog Training Elite and Brianna. Shiloh learned a lot and he loved the training he got.

    We have a mastiff/pit bull rescue dog who came with a lot of baggage. We had tried several other trainers without success. Brianna and Elite Dog Training are miracle workers and now after a short 8 weeks we have a dog that listens!!! I reached out to Elite Dog Training because I was afraid to bring my dog out in public but I can now bring him anywhere with confidence. Thank you Brianna and Elite Dog Training!!

    I am incredibly grateful for Larissa and the exceptional training experience provided by Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin. Under Larissa’s guidance, I’ve learned the tools and techniques needed to bring my dog, Hank, to an elite level of obedience. He is now well on his way to becoming a therapy dog who will make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. Larissa’s professionalism, compassion, and depth of knowledge far exceeded my expectations. Her ability to tailor training to both handler and dog made the process effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin to anyone seeking quality, results-driven training. Thank you to Larissa and the entire DTE team for your dedication and expertise!

    Brianna was amazing! Incredible how much 8 sessions can change a dogs behavior! Our dog was a good dog but just needed some things trained out of him and Brianna was able to help us train him to be a well behaved boy. He even passed his K-9 good citizenship test a week early! Highly recommend! They may be a little more expensive, but it is well worth it! You get what you pay for and Dog Training Elite is a perfect example of that. We will be recommending them to anyone looking for help with training their dogs.

    OUTSTANDING! I haven't personally used their training service however the women who answers the phone (sorry I forgot her name) was very kind in listening to the issue my dog is going through and was able to give me some helpful advice. Thank you

    Everyone at Dog Training Elite Northeast was knowledgeable, friendly, and so helpful! We looked for training because our new rescue rottweiler mix puppy was showing signs of aggression towards our 3 y/o lab as well as new people and dogs. We were so worried we wouldn't be able to solve the problem, and had never used any e-collar training before. We were initially nervous but Brianna made the entire experience comfortable, loved our dogs, and moved totally at our pace. It's like night and day! Now our girls are confident, well-trained, and we feel confident having our friends come into the house and taking them out and about. Thank you to everyone at Dog Training Elite for changing our lives!

    We are so happy we went with Elite after reaching out to multiple trainers in the area. We were given different options for how to go about training; in public, at their facility, or in our own home. It made it very convenient and helpful to train in different environments with our dog. Ramiro was a great trainer, not just for our skeptical dog, but also as worrisome owners. He explained each step and helped us and our dog work together to help us be more confident in public and having visitors over. Being a rescue, our dog has a tendency to be on high alert but training has helped him trust us and relax.

    Awesome experience with Ramiro! Completely transformed our dogs. Had issues with them being aggressive towards each other and with a baby on the way, we had to find a fix. Ramiro solved all of our issues. Highly recommend

    Dog: Hazel, 2-year-old Shelter Lab Mix Program: Platinum Package Issue addressed: Severe leash reactivity (lunging, barking toward other dogs,motorcycles, bicycles and joggers. Dog training Elite Northeast Wisconsin is a great investment in Hazels future. For shelter dogs with unknown baggage and deep-rooted anxiety or guarding issues.This program provided a safe, effective, and transformative solution that allowed Hazel to finally relax and be a confident family member. From our very first session, Hannah Randal demonstrated incredible patience, professionalism, and a genuine love for dogs. Instead of just drilling commands, they focused on why Hazel was behaving the way she was and taught me how to communicate effectively using positive reinforcement.

    We couldn’t happier with how Ramiro helped us transform our insanely hyper pup. We knew Rambo was a smart boy, but we struggled with showing him direction. Ramiro helped us mold Rambo into a focused and eager to learn good boy! Give Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin a call today and your relationship with your dog will be so much better!

    Ramiro was extremely professional throughout all of our sessions and a superb teacher with the whole process. Our Mini Aussie went from a non stop barking dog to a very well mannered companion. I would without question recommend this training to anyone who is looking for dog training.

    We worked with my dog that was reactive and hard to control. They understand recuse dogs and how to work with them. I am impressed with the results and he passed his K9 test.

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite and more specifically our amazing trainer Brianna! From the very first session, her warmth and kindness made both us and our pup feel completely at ease. She’s incredibly flexible, always willing to adjust her schedule or approach to meet our needs, and her deep knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques is truly impressive. What sets her apart is how she blends professionalism with genuine care. She didn’t just help us train our dog; she built trust, confidence, and a meaningful bond between us and our pup, Brewer. Our dog has learned so much and has truly made amazing progress, and we’ve also learned so much from her along the way. We absolutely love her and feel so lucky and grateful to have found someone so talented and compassionate. Brianna truly understands dogs and treats every family with respect and heart! We highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking to train their dog.

    We took our Labrador to Dog Training Elite and we had a fantastic experience. Our boy was already pretty well-behaved and tempered, but we wanted to ensure he was a good listener, knew important commands, and get him used to distractions, new people, new places, etc so that we could count on him to operate well in all kinds of circumstances. Ramiro was so great to work with, Chubbs learned so much and is such an incredible companion thanks to Elite’s help. Would definitely recommend working with them!
