    Absolutely fantastic and successful. I am so impressed by this organization I highly recommend them. Larissa was the trainer for my dogs and she went above and beyond my expectations Thank you

    Highly recommend Dog Training Elite! My rescue, Ziva, and I took the leap with the Platinum Package and have just completed our individual sessions. The training was personalized, well-structured, and thoughtfully paced, with a strong emphasis on building my confidence as an owner and reinforcing the importance of consistency. Ziva struggles with reactivity, which can make navigating unfamiliar situations challenging. After completing the individual sessions, I now feel equipped to support her needs. I also developed a stronger understanding of her personality and how to provide the calm, consistent leadership she needs to succeed. Ramiro was professional, knowledgeable, and realistic throughout the process. I truly appreciate the individualized approach and the focus on developing effective tools for specific situations that used to be stressful. We’re looking forward to the group classes and taking advantage of the lifetime support! Thanks for everything!

    This was an amazing dog training experience for our family. Any questions we had were addressed and Tina provided a lot of helpful information. Tina is very knowledgeable and supportive. We are grateful for her hard work with August! I would highly recommend this program!

    I have loved my training experience so far! Hannah has been my dog trainer and she was amazing. She explained everything so well, she is patient and helpful and never made me feel un supported at any time. She is so sweet and kind and I loved having her as my trainer. My dog Zoya started with the puppy and obedience training and now we are moving into service work and I couldn't be more confident with her because of Hannah! Overall great place and I couldn't be more happy with choosing dog training elite.

    I highly recommend Elite Dog Training!! Our dog was very timid and I was fearful that he was beyond help. We couldn’t even take him for a walk because he would shut down when we put a leash on him. Then we met Jen from Elite Dog Training. After the initial consultation, she arranged Mitchell to be our trainer. With Mitchell’s help, our dog is transformed! We are 100% satisfied with the results from this program and have no hesitation recommending this company to dog owners. Mitch is awesome!

    I will be honest, I was very nervous about how training our six-year-old heeler would go. With a growing family and lots of play dates in our future. Dixie wasn’t great with meeting other dogs or new people. Our family decided it was best to get her some formal training. Tina was absolutely amazing to work with. She was patient, kind, and understanding when it came to teaching us how to train Dixie and how to properly use the e collar. She also shared lots of tips and knowledge on how to handle various situations. After our 8 weeks of training, we feel so much more confident in Dixie’s behaviors and her ability to listen and obey our commands. She greets guest and other dogs more politely and is so much more obedient. I would hands down recommend Tina and Dog Training Elite!

    Highly recommend training with Elite! Our trainer Hannah was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, kind, and you could tell she knows her stuff. In the 8 weeks we trained my 5 month old she has learned so much! I went from being overwhelmed and frustrated to feeling positive about having strategies to now be able to take care of my dog. My dog responds me. She comes to me when I call her. We definitely have a much better relationship than we had from the start.

    Tina was fantastic to work with! Our two huskies have drastically improved and are much more manageable all around, especially on walks. Prior to training, we had almost given up on taking them for walks due to pulling and their reaction to other dogs. Tina worked with us and gave us the tools to be in control so walks aren't so stressful!

    Larissa was the best trainer for not just our Link but for us too. We were worried on how Link reacted to people coming to our property and she quickly has us at ease. Link was such a quick learner and has done so well after the training. Our only issue is his separation anxiety but continue to work on it. We feel much more confident now when we take him out in public and see how great he reacts to others and other dogs. Would recommend her and this team for anyone

    We had the best experience with Ramiro for dog training! Very flexible with our schedule and taught us so much about training our dog. Would highly recommend! The main thing we wanted to work on was healing on walks and our dog improved so much and also improved his behavior at home.

    Larissa is definitely a gifted dog trainer! Very well educated with vast knowledge of dog training. From the very first in-house session, Larissa used clear, concise and positive reinforcement methods that I picked up easily. From treat rewards to the e-collar, then onto group classes, Larissa was by my side. She taught me valuable training methods for my Golden Retriever puppy, Buckley. She is such an asset to Dog Training Elite! I’m so thankful I got teamed up with her… she is EXCEPTIONAL!!! BRAVO LARISSA!!!

    We had such a great experience with Larissa at Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin! Larissa is bubbly, energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is contagious! What we appreciated most is that she isn’t just training your dog—she’s training YOU to become the best dog parent you can be. 🐾 She listens to what your goals are, explains the “why” behind what you’re doing, and gives you the confidence and tools to keep making progress at home. Larissa made training fun, positive, and something we actually looked forward to. If you get the chance to work with her, you and your pup are in very good hands!

    We had such a wonderful experience with Dog Training Elite! Tina did an amazing job working with our dog, Oliver. She was knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire training process enjoyable and easy to understand. We have seen such a positive difference in Oliver, and the tools and techniques Tina taught us have helped us continue reinforcing his training at home. She truly cares about the dogs she works with and wants to see both the dog and their family succeed. We are so thankful for Tina and everything she did for Oliver. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for professional, effective, and personalized dog training!

    I was so hesitant at first if this program would work for my dog, Moose. I wasn't sure if the e-collar training was going to work for a dog with severe reactive anxiety and with a past of trauma. We had tried different training methods with a different trainer and it just didn't work. I was so glad I was very wrong, and Moose did amazing with e-collar training! After 8 weeks, he knows his basic commands, and most importantly, was able to let a strange man into the house with attacking him. I finally feel like we're well on our way to having people over at our house again! Moose's baseline anxiety is even down. I can't thank Larissa enough for being our trainer and being so patient with us and Moose. She's so knowledgeable and able to adapt to any situation. She was exactly who Moose needed. I'm also very thankful for another trainer, Mitch, for helping us with a couple of lessons. He even came to the house to work on Moose's behavior with men entering and being in the house (his biggest issue). We are so grateful for the training we got with Dog Training Elite NE Wisconsin ❤️ it was worth the investment!

    Tina has been wonderful throughout Kevin’s training. She clearly explains each step, answers all of our questions, and has helped Kevin make incredible progress. We’re very grateful for her knowledge, patience, and support. Highly recommend!

    We REALLY enjoyed working with Mitch to train our 4 year old Sheepadoodle with confidence issues. Mitch was great training Arlo’s people as well. Larissa assisted with some specific on site training and at the DTE facility. Her explanations were very helpful. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend both trainers and DTE if you are looking for help training your per.

Why Obedience Training is Essential

Read More
Read Less

Obedience training is an essential investment for dog owners, especially those who have never owned a dog before. Training is a fundamental step to rearing an intelligent and well-behaved dog. Without even basic obedience training, a dog will be unable to learn more advanced skills, safely leave the house, or go off-leash.

Benefits of obedience training:

  • Safety: Obedient dogs are less likely to engage in dangerous behavior, such as fighting, biting, aggressive barking, or running away. As they learn to trust and listen to their owner, they will respond to commands and stay calm in threatening situations.
  • Socialization: Puppies must be socialized with other dogs to know how to positively interact with other animals and people. Without socialization, they begin to look at animals and people as threats, which leads to unsafe behaviors.
  • Behavior: Nondangerous but unwanted behaviors such as barking, pulling, jumping, and begging can all be minimized with proper obedience training.
  • Confidence and stability: When properly trained, dogs will become more confident, and comfortable in all different environments. Dogs will be more trustful while interacting with new environments and take away the stress of bringing them out with you.

Effective Training Through Positive Reinforcement and Classical Conditioning

Our Obedience Training Methods

Read More
Read Less

The goal of obedience training is in the name–training a dog to obey commands reliably. Obedience training for dogs can be lengthy and requires repetition, consistency, and positive reinforcement to achieve lasting results.

This training involves teaching a puppy or dog basic commands like sit, come, heel, or down. Dog Training Elite trainers also use obedience training to teach commands more unique to your situation.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Desired behaviors can be encouraged with positive reinforcement and reward-based training. Rewards satisfy your dog's natural desire to please and create a strong bond between dog and owner.
  • Customized Approach: We recognize that every dog is different, from breed to temperament, and because of that, they may be predisposed to certain behaviors. After meeting your dog, we will customize a training plan to meet their unique needs.
  • Professional Trainers: Dog Training Elite has highly experienced trainers who prioritize building trust between dog and owner. With years of experience to draw on, they successfully use communication and patience to get the behavioral results you want for your dog.
  • Long-Term Results: Our training methods are designed to produce lasting behavioral changes in dogs of all breeds and ages. Consistency and repetition are necessary for proper obedience training, but when you commit to training, you will be impressed with the results.

Common Questions About Obedience Training

Still have questions about obedience training? We’ve got you covered! Below are some frequently asked questions that might help clarify any remaining concerns you have. At Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin, we're here to ensure you and your dog have the best training experience possible.

The earlier, the better. Puppies are welcome! That being said, old dogs truly can learn new tricks - there is no reason an older dog can’t learn basic commands.
Besides basic commands, dog obedience training can address issues such as chewing, whining or barking, jumping to greet others, and begging for food.
No. Pain or punishment is never used in any form during training programs. The electronic collars we use produces a gentle “tug” to get a dog's attention. It is not a shock collar and does not harm or alarm a pet.
In-home training is necessary because it allows trainers to focus on the particular issues of individual dogs (like terrorizing a pet cat or chasing the mailman). During in-home training sessions trainers also work side by side with owners and any other family members so the dog understands who is in control.
