Many dog owners express frustration when their dog returns from obedience school and has not learned one command successfully. While obedience school trainers teach your dog simple commands, effective training is best done at home with the owner. Each dog is unique, with its own temperament and behavioral issues. Full-scope training is not possible to achieve without an in-home dog training program.

During in-home sessions, trainers get to know the dog and its environment. There are often particular issues- chasing the mailman or barking at the neighbor’s cat - that are not observed in an out-of-home setting. Bringing a professional dog trainer into your home creates a personalized training experience, that addresses your dog’s particular issues.

In-home dog training is more successful than group classes because it minimizes distractions. Basic obedience and behavioral issues must first be addressed with one-on-one private training, and then these lessons can be tested in a more distracting environment. Dog Training Elite Green Bay / Appleton takes a comprehensive approach, pairing in-home training with group lessons to ensure your dog fully retains every command and can respond appropriately regardless of the environment.

In-home dog trainers can address a variety of issues, such as:


  • Housebreaking
  • Leash pulling
  • Aggression
  • Anxiety
  • Ignoring commands
  • Excessive barking
  • Jumping on people
  • Destructive behaviors

Positive Training Methods


At Dog Training Elite Green Bay / Appleton, we understand that you want the best for your dog, and our goal is to ensure all training experiences are positive for you and your furry friend! Our team of trainers has learned that positive reinforcement and classical conditioning are the most effective training methods. We never use punishment - we love dogs and we want them to learn in a positive, safe environment! By rewarding dogs for good behavior rather than punishing negative behaviors, our trainers effectively teach your canine companion how to behave.

In Home Dog Training Goals

While our professional dog trainers will be taking the lead, you, and any other family members who interact with your dog will be a part of the training process as well. In-home dog training empowers you and helps you build a positive relationship with your dog.

Benefits of Positive In-Home Training Techniques

Dogs enjoy training sessions if they take place with the person they love. Listening, learning, and acting on commands is a way for your dog to show you that he cares! The praise you bestow your pup (and the tasty treat you give) makes him happy, and this experience of learning is a great bonding activity.

Sending your dog off to obedience school removes you from the training process and prevents this special bonding from occurring. When you choose Dog Training Elite Green Bay / Appleton, we ensure you are part of the training process. All in-home training programs involve you and any other family members that care for your dog. Our trainers’ goal is to teach you how to train your dog.

Obedience commands are essential to any full-scope dog training program. These commands ensure the safety of your dog and prevent any undesired problems. Obedience is the core of successful training, and your dog must learn these commands before he can progress.

Our in-home training program focuses on ingrained obedience and our trainers ensure your dog learns essential commands, such as sit, place, come, stay, lay, off, drop it, and more. Once these key lessons are taught, our trainers will work with you and your pup on more advanced topics.

Does your dog jump up as a greeting, or charge the door anytime visitors announce their arrival with the doorbell? Or perhaps he begs from the table with wide, puppy eyes? These problem behaviors are easily corrected with the right training techniques.

Group classes or “puppy essentials” training programs cannot address most problem behaviors, as these issues are more likely to occur at home where your dog is most comfortable and confident. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home is the best way to address these behaviors!

In-Home Dog Trainers in Green Bay / Appleton

Searching for a professional dog trainer is stressful. Thankfully, Dog Training Elite Green Bay / Appleton has various locations and experienced professional dog trainers ready to assist you and your pet.

If you are looking for in-home dog trainers in Green Bay / Appleton, then look no further than Dog Training Elite.

We never use shock collars or punishments; our training method focuses on positive reinforcement, which has proven successful. We combine this positive reinforcement with an electronic vibration collar for optimal results. The vibration collar is not a shock collar nor does it cause pain - it is used to get your dog’s attention, like the tug of a leash. Our techniques have proven successful over the years, and we are proud to be a trusted provider of dog training services in the Green Bay / Appleton area.

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.

In-Home Dog Training FAQs


As your dog spends most of his time inside your home or around your property, this is where problem behaviors are more likely to occur. When you bring your dog to group classes, these behaviors are likely to go unaddressed. Bringing a trainer in your home allows for your dog to feel comfortable and gives the trainer a chance to catch and correct negative behaviors.
At Dog Training Elite, we create highly personalized programs because we know every dog is different. Our in-home dog training program focuses on basic obedience, housebreaking, and behavior correction. If your dog is a barker, a mailman chaser, or displays aggression, your personal trainer will focus on these unique behaviors.
Yes! Our professional trainers include you in the lessons and work hard to help you and your dog establish a bond of trust. When the dog owner is not included in the training process, it is extremely difficult to establish obedience in your dog. A dog dropped off at over-stimulating, distracting doggie daycare or group training sessions will have difficulty translating those lessons into his home environment.
At Dog Training Elite Green Bay / Appleton, we use positive reinforcement methods and a gentle vibration collar. We never abuse or use punishment tactics. A happy dog is an obedient dog, and we work with treats, praise and attention to help your dog establish healthy behaviors.

Dog Training Elite Green Bay / Appleton provides professional and personalized in-home dog training programs in near you Green Bay / Appleton.

My 2 goldendoodle have been training for 4 weeks and they are doing great. I was trying to train them on my own, at 10 months old they won't going good with the training. So I call elite and asked from help. My girls are doing wonderful since we started training with Ramiro.

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!!!

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.

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!!

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.
