The Benefits of Puppy Training

Read More
Read Less

Our classes help your pup grow into a well-behaved dog. Here are a few benefits you can expect from choosing our elite training:

  • Deepen Your Bond With Your Puppy: Training your puppy – and continuing training with new tricks as they get older – is a great way to bond closely. Puppies have a natural desire to please and will learn to rely on you for guidance and direction, establishing a foundation of trust and love.
  • Socialize Your Dog: Obedience training, especially with group classes, helps dogs become comfortable and well-socialized around other dogs and people. This is important for when you want to take your dog on walks or invite people into your home.
  • Improve Your Dog’s Safety: Training your dog to listen and obey your commands will help them stay safe in any situation. Learning commands like “down,” “leave it,” “stop,” and “wait” can keep your dog safe from messing with dangerous things like electrical cords and other situations outdoors.
  • Provide Mental Stimulation: Good dogs can become bad dogs if they don’t have a way to work out physical and mental energy. Training as a lifelong pursuit is a great way to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged.

    We had an amazing experience training our dog Trenton. Ramiro was very informative and knowledgeable throughout the training. They were very flexible and worked around our schedule. Trenton has improved and we will continue to use the skills we were taught. We are looking forward to the group sessions. We will recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who is looking for dog training!

    We had an excellent experience at Elite. We were referred to them through friends and we are very happy with the training, staff and the results we have seen. Our dog would run away when we called him. He had a hard time staying focused and we definitely had to have them on a leash at all times. Since completing the training, he’s a totally different dog. He comes when called, stays close and no longer runs off. They provided us with education related to our feeding schedule with our dog and other things that we could change to help train our dog and be more consistent. We achieved all of the goals we had set for ourselves and our dog. Chad and Megan

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin has been nothing short of awesome! We brought our energetic, people loving dog Archie to them for help with basic obedience and some specific behavioral issues ( like excessive barking and jumping when meeting new people and some resource guarding). From the first day we were very impressed. Couldn't believe that he was able to place and stay just after day one, even when toys were thrown in front of him, he wouldn't budge and he LOVES toys. The trainers clearly understand dog behavior and were able to explain things to us in a way that made sense. They don't just tell you what to do but also why it is important, which helped us be more consistent with our dog training. They took the time to get to know Archie's personality and tailored their training methods to his specific needs. We enrolled in the platinum plus program and saw significant improvement in his behavior within just a few lessons. We learned valuable lessons and tequniques, such as heel and quiet, which really comes in handy when meeting new people. We were able to take our dog The Home Depot and walk around and meet new people and he did so good! He didn't bark or pull on the leash, which was the main reason we wanted to get training done. Thanks to the training, we feel like we can confidently take our dog into public places where they allow dogs! Great job Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin!

    Miss Fern and I are super grateful for DTE! Fern has come so far and she listens much better after completing her training. I could not have gotten her to the point of being off leash without all the help and she’s loving the freedom this allows her! She’s going to be so excited about group classes in the near future.

    Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin did a great job in the training of our black lab River! Ramiro is very knowledgeable and patient with the dog. Communication was great and he assisted us with any questions we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

    Amazing training program!! Ramiro really knows what he is talking about and helped transform our puppy into a more well-mannered, behaved dog. Highly recommend to all owners struggling with their dog’s behaviors who need more structured support!

    We really enjoyed our experience with Ramiro. He made the training fun for the whole family. Our dog went from being extremely reactive to being able to follow any command. The E Collar has been a life saver. We can let him outside off leash and we can have company over without worrying. We purchased the elite package, so we have a lot of comfort knowing we are covered for life if spud ever needs any more help. Ramiro was kind and answered all of our questions patiently. We will miss our weekly lessons!

    Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Kylo, our 8 year old Golden Retriever earned his Canine Good Citizen award today! It was by chance that I met Ramiro and his team at Dog Training Elite. They were holding a group class at the park and I asked their opinion on help with an older dog. And I’m so glad I asked. Kylo’s unpredictable reactivity to other dogs was just one of his traits that couldn’t be corrected even after attending several different dog classes. Ramiro came to our house to meet us (a free evaluation). It didn’t take long to realize that this training would be different. We chose the Platinum Obedience Package with 8 one-on-one training sessions plus much more. Ramiro came to our house for training sessions. Kylo learned new things. Just as important, Ramiro worked with us and I learned how my behavior made a difference in Kylo’s reactions. I wish I would’ve found Dog Training Elite years ago! Check them out!

    We just completed the in-home portion of Rico's Platinum Obedience Package. DTE has been 100% the best investment we could have made with our boy, and we couldn't be happier with the results. With Rico being a purebred Rottweiler, his breed stigma, size, and our living situation in a larger condo community, it was important for us as confident owners to have a well-mannered big boy. Our trainer, Marcy, was absolutely fantastic, and I cannot say enough great things about her. She made training fun, tailored each session to Rico's specific goals, and challenged us with things to try between sessions. This really allowed our stubborn boy to excel. I was ecstatic when Rico passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen certification at only 7 months old! The number of compliments we receive out in public with Rico is unbelievable. He walks confidently and proudly right next to me, does not react to the busy world around him, and can enjoy his best life at times off-leash. This team is over the top, flexible, reliable, and super compassionate. You can tell that they really love the work they do! We are so proud that Rico is part of the Elite pack and look forward to attending group classes. Thank you Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin!

    Ramiro was amazing for Apollo and I. Apollo is young doberman and a service dog in training. With Ramiro's very patient and communicative training style, Apollo passed his Canine Good Citizenship test at under a year old. He has learned multiple important commands. Ramiro and the team at Dog Training Elite are always on hand to help address issues or concerns. Every lesson we walked away feeling supported and encouraged. Any dog I have going forward will be going to Dog Training Elite.

    It was such a great experience, I would highly recommend! The training was amazing. Our pup is well behaved, does tricks and we want to thank dog training elite for working with us, we learned so much!

    They were so helpful and adaptive to the individual needs of my Tato. With their training and tools his obedience is night and day better. There were so many other benefits but seeing my dog live his best life with their help has been amazing. The only regret I have is not signing him up sooner.

    We purchased the Platinum Obedience Package after we adopted our Kiki Pancake this past summer. We are experienced husky owners and Kiki was our fifth husky so we thought we could train her like our past huskies. Kiki proved us wrong. She is the epitome of a stubborn husky and too smart for her own good. I reached out to DTE and they responded quickly and we had a consultation set up within a week. Kiki started training in October and graduated her Platinum Obedience Program this week. The change in Kiki is unbelievable! She is a completely different dog. Kiki comes when we call her, she understands and performs basic and secondary commands, she stops unwanted behaviors when we tell her to and she walks like a little lady on a leash instead of dragging her mom through the neighborhood! When we initially had problems with her ecollar, Stephany came out the next day and worked with us to find options and alternatives that would work for her so we didn't lose training time. We are so incredibly grateful for Ramiro, Stephany and team and their hard work and dedication to our Kiki! They are so patient with our stubborn and defiant husky! It's a huge relief to not feel alone and to have support when you have a dog that knows how to push all your buttons! We're looking forward to group classes and continuing Kiki's training with Dog Training Elite!

    We adopted our second dog, Kora, a little over a year ago. She had a lot of energy and anxiety, and was a constant source of stress. She barked at visitors for hours, snapped at people, and was a nightmare on walks. She would urinate and chew things up whenever we left a room without her. We tried treat and clicker training on our own, but it seemed like she just was getting more anxious. We didn't feel comfortable bringing her anywhere like we do with our other dog, and were considering rehoming. Ramiro from Dog Training Elite was a game-changer. He patiently explained the root causes of Kora's behaviors and provided us with clear, effective training techniques. With his guidance, we were able to provide structure and help Kora become a more confident and well-behaved dog. Thanks to Ramiro's expertise, our dog is now a joy to be around. She's calmer, more obedient, and much better socialized. Even the behaviors not directly relating to obedience have greatly improved. Now we feel comfortable bringing her to other peoples' houses, to the park, and to the store. It's been a rewarding experience, and now that Kora passed the canine good citizen test, we're excited to join group classes. We're so grateful for the positive transformation and highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone struggling with a challenging dog.

    We just completed training (platinum package) of our Boxer Tiki. Tiki needed help with reactivity. We used trainers before, but never achieved any tangible results. We couldn’t have people at our house, the door bell triggered Tiki’s reactivity to the point that we couldn’t open the door. Dog Training Elite was our last resort. With Ramiro’s guidance we achieved great results. Ramiro is very patient, knowledgeable and has very commending presence. With Ramiro’s help we not just improved Tiki’s behavior. The whole experience help us to be better leaders for Tiki. When the door bell rings, now Tiki goes to his place, we can take him to the public places. It wasn’t possible before. It is work in progress, but with Ramiro’s help we are on the right track. We are very impressed with the results. Highly recommend.

Training Essentials for Your Puppy

Here are a few puppy training tips from the expert team at Dog Training Elite! If you have any questions or want to see these methods in action, give us a call. We are more than happy to show you a demonstration and provide you with a glimpse of what our professional team can do!

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in positive reinforcement and yummy treats do the trick! We recommend a high-quality, berry-sized reward that your puppy will enjoy. Rewarding your dog while training teaches them that you approve of that behavior and maintains their motivation to perform well.
Because you’ll be handing out lots of treats, you will probably want a treat bag or pouch. There are many options out there with different sizes, shapes, and ways to carry. The benefit of getting a treat pouch is the ease of access and the ability to reward your puppy quickly. If you aren’t interested in getting a treat pouch, we recommend getting a small bag to carry you puppy’s rewards.
A clicker is a great tool to have along with rewards when training a puppy. With a clicker, you can immediately provide a positive sound when your dog performs a correct behavior, and then you can reward them with a treat. Pairing a clicker with treats is a great way to instill positive reinforcement because you teach your dog that they get a treat when they hear a click. You can buy many kinds of clickers at your local pet store, and they even have helpful clicker apps.
A good leash is another essential when bringing home a new puppy. We suggest a leash made of a durable material like leather and about 6 feet long to allow for comfortable room for both of you. Training your dog on a leash will set you up for fun walks in the future, keep your dog safe, and prevent them from getting lost while out of the house. It is also beneficial for an excited puppy who wants to run around and play while training.
You'll need a sturdy collar or harness to attach a leash while training. Deciding between a flat collar or body harness is up to your personal preference, but it is good to consider your dog's comfort and demeanor. A collar is necessary while training and for safety while out and about. A collar/harness is also the best place to attach the identification for your puppy. If anything happened to your dog, you'd be glad you had a collar with your information on it!
Getting a dog crate is a great way to housetrain your puppy. You will want to get a durable and safe crate for your dog that has enough room for them to be comfortable. You want the crate to be a place of calm and safety for your dog, not a punishment zone. Getting your puppy crate trained gives you a safe space in your home to keep them while they are unsupervised and also prevents unwanted behaviors like chewing or peeing inside.
