    Mitch has done a terrific job getting me on track for obedience training with my Mal. He is very dedicated and offers a level of service that has become exceedingly rare today. The entire experience with Dog Training Elite has been great. They are very responsive, and informative through the whole process.

    Training so far has been absolutely amazing. Our trainer is Hannah and she was very patient with me. I was struggling with the e-collar because it was my first time ever using one. I am about to start group classes and can’t wait to continue on this journey with my dog Finn. We are working towards service dog work and having someone there to help us along the way has been so encouraging!

    I highly recommend Tina at Dog Training Elite. From our very first session Tina demonstrated exceptional professionalism, extensive knowledge and genuine passion for dog training. She took the time to understand Stella’s obedience challenges and explained every technique in a way that was easy to understand and apply. Tina was always punctual, patient and affectionate with Stella making each training session a positive experience. It was clear that she truly cares about the dogs she works with and is committed to helping both the dog and the owner succeed. She was always willing to answer every question and address any concerns we had about Stella’s progress. She was always receptive, encouraging in her explanations giving us the confidence to continue reinforcing the training at home. I have also attended my first group class with Stella and was very impressed with the organization and the training that was worked on. It was a safe, welcoming environment and both dogs and owners were well supported. Looking forward to continuing working on Stella’s obedience with the guidance from DTE!

    Larissa was great working with our dog Wrigley! Wrigley is 8 years old and had some reactivity issues. We noticed improvement right away and it continued throughout the training process. We would recommend Larissa and Dog Training Elite to anyone who is struggling with a reactive dog.

    We could not be happier with the results. We had a very reactive and stubborn dog, Ramiro and his crew spent the time and had the expertise to make such an amazing difference in her behavior. Absolutely amazing. Thank you!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're wondering whether Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin is worth it, let me save you some time... ABSOLUTELY! We reached out to Dog Training Elite after what was honestly one of the scariest moments I've ever experienced with our one-year-old Yellow Lab, Finland. Like many young Labs, Finland believed every walk was an Olympic pulling event. We tried different leashes, harnesses, and every "miracle" gadget we could find. If he decided he wanted to investigate something, we were just along for the ride. Then came *the walk*. We were heading home when Finland spotted a service worker on the sidewalk. His whole back end turned into one giant wag, and he was determined to go say hello. I turned to avoid the distraction, and at that exact moment, a brown paper bag blew across the sidewalk. Naturally, Finland decided that bag was the most exciting thing he'd ever seen. In the blink of an eye, the leash wrapped around my leg, flipped me flat onto my back, and Finland dragged me into the street... just as a semi truck was approaching. Thankfully, the driver stopped in time and helped me up. I cried the entire walk home, convinced I'd never be able to safely walk my own dog again. The first thing I did when I got home was call Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin. Marcy answered the phone and immediately put my mind at ease. She assured me they could help make our walks enjoyable again. She wasn't kidding. From day one, both Marcy and Stephany were incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely cared about both me *and* Finland. They never made me feel embarrassed or judged. Every lesson built our confidence together, and before long, our chaotic walks turned into something I actually looked forward to. Today, our walks are relaxing, enjoyable, and something we both love. Finland still has his goofy Lab personality, but now he walks with manners and actually pays attention to me. Dog Training Elite didn't just train our dog. They gave me my confidence back. If you're on the fence about investing in training, don't wait until you have your own scary story. Call them now. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made for both our family and our sweet boy. Thank you, Marcy and Stephany, for changing our lives, one walk at a time! 🐾💛

    We chose Dog Training Elite because we needed help with our sweet but rambunctious 1 year old golden retriever, Greta. I was a little nervous about the use of an e-collar at first, but after our initial meeting with Rico and getting to feel for ourselves that the stimulation from the e-collar isn't painful, I felt more confident that it was the right choice. We started working with Tina and within one week we went from having to bribe Greta to come to us using a trail of treats to having her come to us easily. Now that we have completed our individual lessons, Greta can heed all of our commands and will get even better with more practice. She is still a young dog with lots of energy, but we can more easily channel that energy thanks to the skills we all learned through training. Tina was a patient and knowledgeable trainer, which was so helpful to us because in addition to helping my husband and I learn to train Greta she also helped our 6 year old work with her too. Any time we had questions Tina was able to answer them or find out the answer for us, including problem solving for some smaller non-targeted behaviors Greta was showing and troubleshooting when Greta needed changes to her e-collar set up. We look forward to continuing our work with Dog Training Elite in group lessons, and highly recommend their services!

    Ramiro was great to work with. Very educated, great at explaining and talking things through with us when we had questions about anything. Our 3 year old rescue Pitbull/Beagle mix is a totally different dog after the 8 in home sessions. We look forward to participating in the Group Sessions and continuing his journey.

    From our initial phone call with Marcy, I knew we had connected to the right training program for our golden Nellie. Marcy was encouraging, understanding, and validating. The training sessions in our home were so effective. Marcy was amazing with Nellie. She helped me control my own anxiety and she was very supportive and built confidence in our abilities to work with Nellie. Marcy was consistently patient, knowledgeable and professional. Nellie has learned so much. The training was exceptional and has made her a well mannered dog. We would highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

    Here’s a polished version that incorporates your additional feedback about Larissa’s work with your family and her approach to e-collar training: Our experience with Dog Training Elite was excellent from start to finish. Larissa was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in Nala’s success. She took the time to understand our long-term goal of helping Nala progress toward becoming a psychiatric service dog and tailored the training to her specific needs, temperament, and learning style. The instruction was clear and easy for our family to follow, making practice at home highly effective. One of the biggest improvements was teaching Nala to focus on us and look to us for direction rather than making her own decisions. Larissa helped us establish consistent leadership so Nala understands that we are the ones in control, not the other way around. After just three sessions, we saw major improvements in her obedience, engagement, focus, and responsiveness. By the end of the program, Nala was reliably following commands at home and in distracting public environments while maintaining much better attention on her handlers. Larissa was also incredibly patient in teaching us, as owners, how to properly train and communicate with Nala. She took the time to explain the purpose and correct use of the e-collar as a training tool, emphasizing that it is meant to reinforce communication and consistency rather than punishment. She even offered to speak with any member of our household to ensure everyone understood the training methods and the importance of using the e-collar correctly and consistently. What impressed us most was the focus on building the handler-dog relationship that is essential for a future psychiatric service dog. Nala learned to check in with us more consistently, remain calm around distractions, and respond confidently to direction. Daily walks became more structured and enjoyable, unwanted behaviors decreased significantly, and we felt much more confident handling her in a variety of situations. We are grateful for the skills, leadership techniques, and confidence Larissa helped us develop, and we highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone seeking professional, high-quality dog training.

    We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our dog, Poppy, is incredibly sweet but also very stubborn, and we weren't sure how much progress we'd be able to make. Thanks to the patience, expertise, and encouragement of our trainer, Marcy, we've seen an amazing transformation. Marcy took the time to understand Poppy's personality and tailored her approach to what worked best for her. She made training enjoyable for both us and our dog while giving us practical tools and techniques we could use every day. What impressed us most was Marcy's patience and consistency—she never gave up on Poppy, even when Poppy was determined to do things her own way! Poppy is now more responsive, better behaved, and much more confident. The improvement has made a huge difference in our daily life, and we truly appreciate all the support and guidance we received throughout the process. If you're looking for a dog training company that genuinely cares about your dog's success, we highly recommend them. And a special thank you to Marcy for helping us turn our stubborn pup into a well-mannered companion!

    Hannah was absolutely fantastic with Ozzy, and we all loved working with her. She was patient with us (it's as much about training the owners as it is the pup!) and broke down each lesson into easily manageable parts. Ozzy (and we) highly recommend Hannah for any dog training needs, and we are thankful for Dog Training Elite's curriculum, services, and professionalism!

    I cannot say enough great things about Dog Training Elite! My trainer, Hannah, was absolutely amazing — so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely wonderful with both of my dogs. I have a reactive older dog AND a puppy (Tilly, who just graduated her training — so proud!), and Hannah never made me feel overwhelmed. She actually gave me the confidence to feel like ‘I got this,’ even on the hard days. What really set them apart was that they came to our home to work with us in our own space, which made such a difference for both dogs. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate — I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite highly enough. Thank you, Hannah!

Building Social Skills and Community

Classes are a mix of all dog breeds and sizes, and our classes provide necessary socialization skills and practice around high levels of distraction. We like to make our group classes exciting for both dogs and handlers, and we have created fun training games and an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing.

We are building a community and our dog training groups tend to feel like a family and less like a dog training group. Friends are made, bonds are formed, and both dogs and dog Owners look forward to their once a week group training sessions.

Signs Your Dog is Ready for Training

Read More
Read Less

Every dog can benefit from training, and it can sometimes be a lifelong pursuit. If you’re wondering if training is right for you, here are some signs your dog is ready for training:

  • Your Dog is Destructive: Whether it’s chewing on furniture or shoes, going to the bathroom in your house, or anything else your dog is not supposed to do -- it’s time to get them trained out of these sorts of behaviors. Even older dogs who were previously well-behaved may develop bad habits later in life and need a training refresher.
  • Your Dog is Aggressive: Aggression can manifest itself in multiple ways; perhaps your dog growls or snaps at you when you get close to his or her food, or toys. Even more concerning is when your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or humans. Yes, sometimes dogs play in a way that seems aggressive, but if your dog is lunging at or snapping at people or other dogs while you’re on walks, it’s time to get a trainer’s help.
  • Your Dog Misbehaves on Their Leash: Walking nicely on a leash does not come naturally to most dogs but it is something that can be learned. Again, even older dogs who previously walked well on a leash may start to act out.
  • Your Dog is Anxious or Fearful: If your dog is dealing with severe separation anxiety, or is fearful in new environments, a trainer can help. For separation anxiety a trainer will work with you and your dog on a routine to reassure your dog. General training, especially in group classes, can help dogs build confidence.
  • Your Dog Ignores You at the Park: Or on walks, or whenever you’re outside. If your dog is obedient when they’re in your home, but loses their mind outside, he or she would benefit from more training. Group classes can be especially helpful because they put your dog in a safe environment with the kinds of distractions you experience outside. Training your dog in situations where there are other distractions helps them learn to obey even when there are other stimulating sights and sounds.

The DTE Difference

Read More
Read Less

Regardless of whether it’s an in-home training session or a group class, the Dog Training Elite training method is the same. We focus on “Classical Conditioning” or the “Pavlovian” method. Research has shown this approach as more effective with longer lasting results than other training methods.

We do not use harsh punishments or shock collars and instead pair balanced training with an electronic collar for superior results. An electronic collar is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog. It is a gentle electronic pulse, similar to the tug of a leash, used to get the dog’s attention. It is never used as a punishment for bad behavior.

Other dog trainers use harsh static collars or spray collars which have been shown to be less effective. The difference becomes clear when comparing a dog that is trained out of anxiety and intimidation vs. a dog who truly desires to please from the inside out. Our method nurtures a dog’s loving and naturally obedient nature.

Benefits of Group Classes

Just like humans, dogs all have their own personalities. Some may receive and respond to all the training they need from private, one-on-one instruction, while others may find great benefit from attending a group class. Group classes can be a great asset to both dogs and their owners, since it provides them with many different situations and experiences they may not otherwise have.

Here are some other benefits of attending group dog training classes:

Group dog training classes have a number of benefits, particularly with socialization. Taking a puppy to group classes once they’re immunized will help them grow into a well-socialized dog comfortable with other dogs and humans. Older dogs who weren’t well socialized as puppies can learn to socialize in a small, safe environment. Trainers will recognize signs of possible conflict between dogs and help owners learn how to diffuse situations and take care of their pets, and dogs will learn how to interact appropriately with each other.

Dog training classes can also be beneficial for owners! If you bring your dog to a group class, you’ll meet other dog owners and become part of a community. Dog Training Elite likes to make group classes exciting for both dogs and their owners, so expect to learn fun training games and enjoy an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing. Classes meet once a week, and both you and your dog will look forward to going every week.

Besides the socialization benefits, group classes are a great tool for dogs to learn to work around distractions. If your dog is perfectly obedient at home, but loses his or her mind at the dog park and forgets all they’ve learned, group classes are the way to go. Group classes are a safe way to help your dog learn to listen to you, even when they’re surrounded by exciting sights, smells and sounds.

In a dog training class, you are in control of the training. While your pooch may occasionally be used as the ‘demo’ dog, there will be very few instances where your dog only has to listen to the trainer. With a class, you are the trainer, and the instructor is just acting as a guide. With all of Dog Training Elite’s training options - in-home or through a class - you will always be the No. 1 trainer, not just sitting on the sidelines as someone else takes charge.

Each dog is unique, and the small classes at Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin will allow you and your dog to still receive personalized attention and training. You will also have the opportunity to learn from other dogs and their owners. Imagine the trainer advises another owner how to help their dog learn to play independently. Later, you might remember the advice and apply it to your own dog, away from the class.
