The Benefits of Puppy Training

Dog Training Elite

Early training shapes a puppy’s behavior for life. Teaching structure, commands, and impulse control early makes daily life easier and sets the stage for a well-behaved dog.

Without proper guidance, puppies can quickly develop habits like jumping, barking, or chewing that become harder to correct over time.
Training strengthens communication and trust, creating a better relationship between owner and dog.
Exposure to new people, places, and other dogs helps puppies become more adaptable and reduces anxiety in unfamiliar situations.
Obedience commands provide control in unpredictable situations, keeping puppies out of harm’s way.

Puppy Training 101

Key Commands For Puppies

Read More
Read Less

Obedience commands help puppies understand what is expected of them and how to respond in different situations. These skills are fundamental for shaping a well-behaved and responsive dog:

  • Down: The "down" command teaches a puppy to lie down and stay in place until released. This command helps with impulse control and keeps a dog calm in busy environments or when guests visit.
  • Break: "Break" lets the puppy know they are free to move after following a previous command. This command helps structure training by showing the puppy when a command is over and they are allowed to move.
  • Heel: "Heel" teaches a puppy to walk calmly at the owner’s side rather than pulling ahead or lagging behind. Practicing this skill improves leash control, makes walks more enjoyable, and helps the dog stay focused in public settings.
  • Come: A reliable recall command is one of the most important skills a dog can learn. "Come" trains a puppy to return immediately when called, helping to prevent dangerous situations like running into traffic or getting lost.
  • Leave It: "Leave it" teaches a puppy to ignore or drop objects they shouldn’t touch, such as harmful food, household items, or dangerous materials. This command helps prevent destructive behavior and keeps the puppy safe.

    Dog Training Elite and Larrisa have been amazing! I tried a few different trainers and felt disappointed. My puppy is fearful of people and we were having issues with excessive barking, but Larissa helped him become way more confident and far better mannered. I plan to keep working with DTE to hopefully help my pup become a service dog, and will work with them with any dogs I have in the future.

    We had Ramiro as our trainer. He was patient with us & Stormie. We enjoyed working with him a lot. Ramiro did the training at our house which helped him to see the problems we were facing. We purchased the platinum package so if we need Ramiro in the future to help us, there isn't an additional fee. It also allows us to bring Stormie to group classes for no additional fees. The package included Everything we needed to train our dog. An e-collar is included & our dog needed a muzzle for the first few classes. We have seen a difference in Stormie's behavior & look forward to going to group classes to help her continue with training. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a dog trainer They are Great!

    Ramiro was a very professional, knowledgeable and informative. He was very patient with us as well as with Nova as we worked through the training program. We have seen exceptional progress with Nova and will continue to work with Ramiro and Dog Training Elitr to refine and further develop her obedience skills and ability to meet and interact with other dogs and people. We also plan on utilizing the Saturday group sessions, as well as scheduling additional individual one on one training. We would highly recommend dog elite training services. Given that our pups are a lifetime commitment, the expenditure made will be invaluable as we removed forward.

    I had Hannah as a trainer for my dog and it was amazing. She was always willing to change things around to help my dog learn in ways that are better suited for him

    Ramiro was excellent! Very thorough and never makes you feel uncomfortable asking the same question over again. It is nice to feel back in control and not like my dog has trained me. 😂 He is tougher but that doesn’t deter our dog from wanting to be by him. I guess it proves his point that dogs want to be led. We did the platinum option so we can go to group classes and ask questions for the life of our dog. I wouldn’t hesitate at all in recommending this business. Just call you will be happy you did!

    Ramiro and his team were extremely knowledgeable and educational throughout the entire training process. We were dealing with resource guarding with our golden. They went above and beyond, even scheduling extra sessions with us for help. We were more than happy with the training we received and Goose seems like a much happier dog being able to control his emotions correctly. We will be recommending any future dog owners to Dog Training Elite!

    Dog Training Elite NE Wisconsin has been the absolute best decision we've made for our puppy. Ollie started working with Ramiro when he was 6 months old. As a puppy with high energy and high-distractibility, we weren't sure how it would go. Ramiro broke down every training session into simple steps for us and each week built on the previous week. It was easy to keep up with the training because we were able to see small moments of success in Ollie right away. We were immediately impressed by Ramiro's expertise and obvious love for dogs and his willingness to see each dog as an individual. We have also had experience with one of the other trainers at Dog Training Elite, Marcy - and she also has an obvious love for animals and she is also extremely knowledgeable. She, too, has been willing to help out with any questions we have about our puppy. Ollie just passed his Canine Citizenship test - something we didn't think would be possible when we started this journey. Thanks, Dog Training Elite!

    We have two dogs—one 6 years old and one 2—and before training, neither of them had any structure. Unfortunately, they picked up each other’s bad habits to the point where walks were stressful and nearly impossible. We couldn’t control them, they barked constantly when outside, and they wouldn’t listen to commands once there were any distractions. That’s completely changed now. With simple, consistent commands, they actually listen. Walks have become enjoyable instead of overwhelming, and we can confidently have them outside without nonstop barking. They’re calmer, more responsive, and overall much happier—and so are we. The time and money we invested were absolutely worth it, and we’re committed to continuing the work to reinforce these great habits. We truly cannot thank Ramiro and Dog Training Elite enough. Having the training done in our home, in their natural environment, made all the difference. It was a game-changer for our dogs and for us.

    Larissa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was patient when working with us and took our aggressive corgi and whipped him into shape. Who would have thought with a little obedience training we would have a whole new dog!

    I can’t say enough great things about Dog Training Elite! My dog Dyna and I just completed their program, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. A huge shoutout to Marcy and Mitch—they were absolutely incredible to work with. Both of them were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in our success. They took the time to understand Dyna’s personality and tailored the training to fit her specific needs, which made all the difference. If you’re considering dog training, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite, especially if you get the chance to work with Marcy and Mitch. This program was 100% worth it.

    Ramiro worked with my Aussie Brooks! Brooks is very high energy and we wanted to get him to listen better on command. Ramiro worked to personalize our experience and we got the exact training we were hoping for! Looking forward to group classes in the future.

    Ramiro was great to work with! It was so convenient that he came to our house for training sessions. Our dog Gordy has made amazing progress—he’s tackled his fear of floors and is now getting along so much better with my husband. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

    So many WONDERFUL things to say about DTE and Stephany and the crew. They’re always so kind and attentive to the dogs needs and are very helpful with any struggle that you and your dog needs to overcome. It’s always a fun time going to group classes and doggy day camp! Thank you guys for being so great!!!

    Larissa was such an amazing help from day one! She really understood our boy Lewis and allowed him the space to gain comfort and confidence. He was previously very reactive, and still has improvements to make, but Larissa gave us the tools and the knowledge to improve our bond and our dogs life!

    So happy with Dog Training Elite and how far our dog Walter has come with his training. Our trainer was Larissa and she was amazing! She was professional, flexible the times we had to change an appt or two, and knowledgeable about our dogs quirks and mannerisms. She was very patient with our stubborn dog and knew how to get results and train Walter well. She also did great with getting our dog and showing us how to stop his resource guarding which was our main concern on top of everything else we were able to accomplish with Walter. We have so much more confidence taking our dog for walks in public and new places that we would’ve second guessed before. Our dog loves her and gets so excited to see her. We would recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking to have their trained and behave better. Larissa is a great trainer and personable as well (also love her dog Zero! What a well behaved role model!) Can’t say enough good things about our experience with DTE.

    Ramiro was amazing getting our crazy 120lb American Bulldog to settle and be a good listener! We can take him on walks without being dragged down the road!! I really love the in home training and can’t wait to attend the group classes at their facility.
