I've had a great experience with Dog Training Elite Upstate SC. My dog, Riggins, has always been an anxious guy but since we've been working with this team his confidence has grown. Investing in this program has been one of the best decisions we've made for Riggins.

Dog Training Elite Upstate has been life-changing for our family. Our dog Arthur used to be reactive and terrible to our other dog, but their training completely turned things around. He listens now, he’s calmer, and our whole home is so much happier. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend them!

Let me tell you, Dog Training Elite honestly feels like a gift. When I brought Annie home from Paws last year, the poor girl—somewhere around ten years old—was hacking away with kennel cough and had no clue what a leash was. At first I figured, how hard could it be to teach her myself? I tried. We struggled. The cough lingered, my patience thinned, and Annie still had that wild, confused look in her eyes. This year, I swallowed my pride and called DTE. Best move I could’ve made! Seriously, they’re lifesavers! Because of their help, Annie and I finally act like a real pack. The training isn’t complicated; it just asks for time and a little dedication. You can either drop your pup off at their place or have a trainer meet you at home. We chose the one-on-one visits, and I’m glad we did. Being right there, hands on, made the lessons stick for both of us. Any time a new question popped into my head after a session, I fired off a text and—no joke—I had an answer that same day. No waiting around till the next class, not feeling lost in between sessions. Now Annie strolls beside me like she was born for it, cough-free and confident. I can’t thank Dog Training Elite enough for turning things around for us.

We started researching training after our 6-month-old golden retriever bolted into the road without a second thought. She wasn’t reliable with boundaries or commands, and we knew we needed real help. We signed up for Dog Training Elite’s at-home program, and we truly can’t recommend them enough. They’re professional, personable, caring, and—most importantly—their training works and it lasts. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. They tailor the program to your dog’s specific needs and adjust as you go. After training, Poppy is trustworthy, listens consistently, and can even be walked off-leash. She’s happier than ever. We take her to Unity Park with total confidence, and having guests over is easy. She’ll place on command and handles company beautifully. Every trainer we worked with was wonderful. A special shout-out to Sydney, who quickly became Poppy’s favorite. If you’re looking for dog training, DTE is the answer.

I used to think dog training was only for “misbehaved” or aggressive dogs, but our family’s goldendoodles aren’t this way. They are super sweet, but anxious and emotionally fragile. Their acting out wasn’t aggression…it was pure anxiety, and we didn’t know how to help them. Enter: Jared & the team at Dog Training Elite. They helped us see that clear structure, leadership, and consistent commands actually give anxious dogs the peace and confidence they need. Dogs want to do the right thing, but they just need us to show them how. Through a few weeks of hands-on training, they didn’t just teach us or our dogs simple commands; they transformed how we understand and communicate with them. The end result was three calmer, happier, less anxious goldendoodles. They now listen to us even in stressful situations like crowds or outdoors, and, in a way, they seem relieved to know exactly what’s expected of them. This isn’t a quick fix; it’s a total mindset shift for you as an owner. You’ll still put in daily work, but the foundation that Dog Training Elite builds in those sessions carries you and your dogs for a lifetime. Our family is so much happier because of their help. If you have an anxious, sensitive, or “fragile” dog, don’t hesitate to give dog training a shot. They gave our dogs (and us) their confidence back! Worth every single penny. I highly recommend Jared & his team!

We reached out to DTE because our dog had some concerning behavioral issues and we didn't know how to communicate with him to correct them. Not only did DTE provide training for the pup to become a trusted and loyal member of our family, they also ensured WE now have the tools to continue to foster our relationship with him. Can't thank DTE enough.

We came to dog training elite after our 5 year old rescue pup started nipping due to anxiety. Sydney with dog training elite gave us tools to ensure every member of our family and guests felt safe and welcome in our home. We reviewed commands that our pup knew but weren’t always able to be enforced to emphasize structure and boundaries. Now we are able to easily welcome our home to guests of all ages without worry of jumping or nipping and each member of our family feels safe and valued. Thank you dog training elite for equipping us with these tools!

Our Chessy, Banks, loved working with Jared! He has improved in his behavior at home and we look forward to doing the group classes with other pups in the area.

I recently adopted a 7 month old male Catahoula who was a nervous wreck with all kinds of anxiety riddled behavior like nervous pacing. I signed up for classes at Elite Upstate and within 4 in-home sessions my dog has since shifted into a loving, personable, attentive boy who enjoys going out to see people on walks or in town as well as staying indoors and having a calm day in. I can't speak highly enough of the instructors and their temperament and patience with me and my dog despite the sessions being only an hour. I learned things about my dog through their program that I might not have ever learned had I not taken this course. I now have the tools to set my dog and any future animal I have up with direction, praise, and happiness that give both of us fulfilment. I feel as if I can properly communicate with my dog now that i've completed this training.

What an impressive transformation, After speaking with Jared, and him ensuring me that my dog was trainable in no more than 20 minutes a day. I had my doubts. What was I thinking in get a new LARGE puppy full of engery, at my advanced age😊 After Thor completed his week long class, along with our daily routine. He is becoming more than I ever expected. I now look forward to weekly training, and can’t wait to see how far he can go. You must give Dog Training Elite a try. You won’t be disappointed Thank you SO much!

We adopted a dog from a rescue, he was already one years old and is a Shepard/Mal mix. Very sweet dog but very nervous around new situations and people. Shawn did a wonderful job of not just helping show us how to help our new fur baby but the “why” behind certain behaviors. We will be working with Shawn again soon on some manners and help leaning into what specifically what his breed needs to thrive.

Our dog Raven is a wild child. She has SOOOO much energy and we were at a loss on how to harness it. We knew she could be such a wonderful pet if we could just figure out what she needed. Dog Training Elite Upstate showed us exactly what she needed. She needs a job. She wants to please and giving her a task frees her from trying to figure out what she should be doing. The trainers were unbelievably good. They tamed our wild child and gave us the confidence to know we can handle her. And the best part is, she’s still the same sweet silly girl. No zombies here! She just listens now and we know what we’re supposed to be doing as her leaders. I can’t thank yall enough!

My dog Gus was a mess and destructive now we go outside without a leash and dog friendly restaurants. My wife has severe medical issues and she walks with him. If he starts to wonder off she says come and he runs to her they are inseparable now! I never thought Gus would be this well behaved.

Dog Training Elite not only helped to train my new dog but also helped me to communicate better with him. I learned his manipulation methods and how to overcome that to give him more confidence and calmness in his day to day. It was a great experience with knowledgeable and caring trainers.

I have absolutely loved working with this company to help train my dog and would 100% recommend them to any dog owner. Not only will your dog be better behaved, but the bond between you and your dog will strengthen because you are speaking the same language. The trainers are very knowledgeable, eager to help, and quick to answer questions outside of regular training sessions. It's definitely an investment worth making if you love your dog and want to include them in multiple aspects of your life. I am thrilled to continue the training and unlock my dog's full potential!

I loved going through training with DTE! They were always available for any questions I had and I never had any issues scheduling appointments. My dog has improved and learned so much. Previously, she wouldn’t even leave the neighborhood and now she will walk downtown TR.

We are thrilled with our experience with Elite. We have a now 10-month-old Golden retriever puppy who was the most difficult puppy we've ever had to train. With just 6 weeks of in-home training she is manageable, follows commands, and stays in place off leash from far distances. Our biggest issue with Maggie was an off command being that she was constantly in our older golden retrievers space and face. We now have that mastered thanks to Elite. Our trainer, Sydney, was nothing short of remarkable and Maggie fell in love with her. I cannot say enough about the response time and the overall support from everyone at Elite through the process. Anytime we had a question or a concern they were, literally, back in touch with us and responding within no time at all. We highly recommend. We were referred to them by a neighbor whose dog had amazing results and after reading the other reviews we decided to give it a try. And boy are we glad we did. You will be too!

We got our dog when she was 10 months old and it was obvious that she had not been socialized and we think she was crated most of the time. She was very skittish and obviously afraid of new surroundings. We saw firsthand the success of DTE after our 2 grand dogs completed their training and knew that we wanted to give our sweet dog every opportunity to have the best life possible. Our last one-on-one session was today. We met the trainer at Lowe’s and Marley exceeded all expectations. We are so proud of her and the progress that she has made. Now we begin group sessions and we can’t wait to see how she will shine in that environment. We recommend DTE without reservation or hesitation. One of the best decisions we have ever made.
