DTE has been awesome to work with! All of the trainers are very knowledgeable about training, and passionate about helping dogs and their families. I have a 4 (almost 5) year old male Dalmatian, Chipper, who is completely deaf and has been since birth. At his age, I really didn’t think training would have much of an impact but I have learned that training doesn’t only have to be for puppies. DTE has been very accommodating in incorporating hand signals for Chipper since he cannot hear verbal commands. Chipper is my best friend and never liked the idea of having to send him off to training for a few months, so DTE was a great option for training Chipper but not having to drop him off for weeks at a time. Not only have they helped Chipper, but they have helped me understand the difference between dogs being able to do “tricks” and follow “commands.” A big thanks to DTE on helping us reach our full potential!
