    I had the best experience with Dog Training Elite. I had a very nervous rescue with some aggression issues that I really was skeptical I could fix. Dog Training Elite was fabulous from the start with prompt communication and walked us through every step of the process. My dog is now calm and confident and more importantly, I know how to handle all the situations that had me nervous before I went through this. Larissa is the best dog trainer!! I highly recommend!!!

    We had an outstanding experience with Dog Training Elite. Ramiro was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and flexible with our schedule. During one session, our puppy had a minor leg injury from earlier in the day, which Ramiro immediately noticed. He paused the training to ensure Oakley wouldn’t put any additional strain on his leg and rescheduled once he was fully healed. That level of care and attention truly stood out and made it clear that Ramiro genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Highly recommend.

    Hannah, our trainer, did an outstanding job with Benito, our one-year-old Goldendoodle, during his Platinum training package. Over the 8 classes, we saw a significant improvement in his behavior. He no longer jumps on people, walks are much calmer, and he has much better manners around others, and he even learned a few great tricks along the way. Hannah traveled from Green Bay to Oshkosh for every class, which truly shows her dedication and professionalism. In the middle of the course, we had a family emergency involving our daughter during one of our scheduled class meetings. She had already made the drive and was incredibly understanding, did not count the class, and rescheduled it without any issue. Benito clearly built a strong bond with her and would even cry when she left after class. We are very grateful for her commitment and highly recommend Hannah and Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin.

    If I could give 10 stars I would! Stephany, Ramiro and the team are so great! They took on two of our puppies at once! Both dogs will be service dogs and they worked very hard to understand the needs of our 2 sons so that they could train the dogs for them as individuals! They were VERY patient with the humans too! They are helping us work through all situations with respect and patience. They also do an AMAZING job work with my son who has severe anxiety! They made him feel confident and heard! BRAVO to the team at Dog Training Elite! Excited to see the growth that we will all see in the next steps of our training!

    Our trainer Ramiro was great to work with, and the transformation our dog went through from the beginning of her training to the end was spectacular. During the initial meeting our dog Bella was constantly barking and lunging at Ramiro, a behavior we had seen with most house guests. It was to the point we would relocate Bella just to have friends or family over. Ramiro was calm, professional, and confident he could help us. By the third training session Bella was excited for Ramio to come, and showing huge growth. Ultimately Ramiro trained us how to work with Bella and our consistent efforts paid off. During our final in home session Bella was able to walk through a Home Depot relaxed and in a perfect heel. Her reactivity has significantly decreased, and we have the tools to help her through stressful situations now. We look forward to bring her to group classes and continuing her training.

    We had a great experience working with Hannah Randall from Dog Training Elite. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very flexible with scheduling, which made the training process easy to manage. Hannah took the time to understand our dog and adjusted her approach to fit their personality, which made a big difference. She explained things clearly and helped us feel confident continuing the training on our own between sessions. A good dog trainer doesn’t just work with the dog but also teaches the owners how to be consistent and effective, and Hannah did exactly that. We saw real progress and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive dog trainer.

    I waited close to a full year to write this review, because I'm the type of person who wants to make sure the quality of a service that they paid for actually is long-lasting. And let me tell you, it is long-lasting. At first, when I saw the pricing on the training through these guys, I thought this better be worth it. And this IS EXTREMELY worth it. My dog had a fence reactivity and also reactive towards other dogs and did not like them. After this training he changed completely and was good around other dogs. I highly recommend these guys. They are the best dog trainers I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and in the future, if and when I would need a dog trainer again, I will definitely be coming back to these guys.

    Dog Training Elite changed our lives in so many ways! We brought our two rescue dogs to DTE and the results from their training and expertise exceeded any of our expectations! Marcy and Brianna taught us so much, as well as our dogs! It's hard to put into words the success we've had with Marcy and DTE, we now have two dogs that respond to us, calmly walk with us, and most of all know what we are asking of them and they seem happier! One of our dogs was a demand barker and we never thought we could fix that and now we have had people come to house and ask if she is a different dog...Marcy was so patient with our dogs and teaching us every step of the way and she made it so enjoyable! She made it feel so easy to learn and her positive continual support helped us and our dogs feel more confident about understanding the process. She has such a great way of explaining everything and really understands each dog and their individual personality. We have tried many other training methods that didn't work and can't believe how fortunate we are to have found DTE; my daughter trained her two dogs with them as well and has had immense success! We are so grateful to Marcy and DTE for giving us the training and knowledge to enhance our dogs' confidence, happiness, and quality of life!

    Great experience working with Hannah and Dog Training Elite! Hannah was always professional, prepared (and flexible to meet Lacy’s needs), positive and enthusiastic as she worked with us! She left us detailed notes on what and how to continue training between her visits. Looking forward to the group training! Thank you!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite. I came to them with a reactive dog who pulled constantly on the leash, and walks were stressful instead of enjoyable. From the very beginning, Ramiro was patient, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just train my dog - He taught me how to communicate better and stay calm and consistent. The techniques he used were clear, effective, and humane, and the progress we’ve made is honestly amazing. Walks are now manageable and enjoyable, and my dog is more focused, confident, and responsive than ever before. If you’re struggling with reactivity or leash pulling and feel overwhelmed, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They truly care about both the dog and the owner, and the results speak for themselves.

    One of the worst parts of a dog passing away is realizing that if you want that same companionship you have to go through a learning phase with a new dog. After your heart heals and you decide to bring a new dog into your home, you quickly realize you've forgotten everything you thought you knew about training a pup and the excitement of a new family member quickly turns into tired exhaustion, frustration, and a hopeless feeling that your new dog may never be as good as your old dog. Reaching out to Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin provided instant puppy behavioral improvement, helped train the trainers (us owners), and provided hope for a future with a well behaved dog. The entire team was helpful, responsive, and experts in their respective areas, but Larissa was exceptionally fantastic and great to work with. We are looking forward to continuing our training toward a therapy dog certification and would recommend Elite to anyone wanting some additional help and guidance training your dog.

    Six months ago we wouldn't have even considered bringing our dog to a public store, and today Bear passed his final training at Scheels. Ramiro and his team are great to work with. You will be happy with their services.

    We are very happy we decided to sign up with Elite to train our yellow lab Birch. From the minute my husband met Marcy and team he was impressed with their knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. After 4 days of camp our puppy knew all commands they taught. They will give you the techniques and follow-up help for you to continue training at home. Thank you Marcy and team for your patience training a high energy pup!! He is a better pet for it.

    Very glad I went with them for training my service dog. They have answered every question I've had, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable. I have been working with them from the time my pup was 9 weeks old and he's now 7 months. The owners and all the trainers are truly amazing people! Had to add a picture of the traine.

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.
