    I can’t say enough good things about JB and his team at Dog Training Elite in Madison. They are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about both you and your dog. The more effort you put into the training, the more you’ll see in return. The at-home sessions and group classes are excellent, and it’s clear how much the trainers love what they do. Pricing is more than fair for the amount of personalized attention and results you get. Highly recommend!

    I have level 2 autism and have always struggled with public meltdowns when I get overwhelmed. For the majority of my life, my mom was the only one that could calm me down and mitigate any meltdowns. I relied on her and my dad a lot to function and honestly thought that I would live with them or super close to them forever. I was fine with that until I realized I wanted to go to grad school at a university several hours away. For the first time in my life, I realized that I needed support for my disability outside of my parents. After talking with my parents and therapist, we decided a service dog would be worth a try. I immediately searched for programs in my city and happened upon Dog Training Elite Huntsville. My mom always said that your gut knows if something is good or bad, and from the first phone call with Christie I knew that this was the place for me. From the litter assessment to the puppy classes to adult obedience to the service dog classes, JB and Christie were so supportive and helpful. They were kind, understanding, helpful, informative, and just overall compassionate. I always left a training session or class more confident than when I went in. Thanks to them and the rest of the Dog Training Elite Huntsville staff, me and my service dog are now in our very own apartment, (mostly) independent, and getting ready to start grad school. I truly would not have been able to do this if it wasn't for my service dog and I will be forever grateful for Dog Training Elite Huntsville and their amazing staff.

    I can’t say enough great things about JB, Paige and the entire team of trainers! JB worked with my Golden Retriever, Meeka, and the transformation has been incredible. From the start, JB was professional, patient, and clearly knowledgeable about dog behavior and training techniques. What impressed me most was how he took the time to understand Meeka’s personality and tailored the training accordingly. The sessions were effective, positive, and engaging—not just for Meeka, but for me as a dog owner, too. I learned so much about communication, consistency, and reinforcement. Meeka was initially going to be a service animal but circumstances changed so JB tweaked her training so she'll be a Therapy Dog. Meeka is now confident, and happy and absolutely the best dog—exactly what I was hoping for. Every trainer I interacted with at this facility was exceptionally well-trained and supportive. It's clear they all genuinely care about the dogs and their progress. If you're looking for a top-notch trainer, JB and Paige are the ones to go to. Thank you for helping Meeka become the best version of herself! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Great training session for my Doberman. I was given very specific fixes to his leash work, as his hormones are coming in and his puppy training has gone backwards. I hear this is typical if you have a male dog. I will get him fixed after he has developed more. The in home training is so awesome and appreciate the patience ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I later changed up training to be at the facility due to my hands and Titan loves it, he gets 8 hours of hands on training which is better for everyone. I continue training g at home. The trainers are all so awesome and this facility is top notch!!!! Love this place and the people. I highly recommend!!!!!

    Paige and JB are amazing!! They have been very patient with me, since I'm learning as well. I'm just a few visits they had me and my pup doing things I thought would take much longer! The techniques they use are simple but very effective. We are working on full Service Dog and I know we will get there with the team we have working with us! Dog Training Elite is simply AMAZING!!

    The team at Dog Training Elite are amazing! From the moment I called them for information, they have been responsive and easy to work with. My husband is a 100% disabled vet. They helped train our puppy and worked with me on the best Service Dog package. We look forward to continuing training with them!

    DTE has been a huge help in training my dog Beans, he went from fighting me tooth and nail when it came to getting into the car, to having hopping in without a fuss. Training with DTE has also strongly reinforced the bond between Beans and me.

    I have NEVER been so excited to have my four legged fur baby trained!! JB and his training family ARE FABULOUS!!! My Noddle a miniature dachshund was so stubborn but JB worked with me so I could work through her behavior. As stated on their WEBSITE obedience was the first part of the training to be completed. I called and text on many occasions and every time I received a response quickly. Once obedience was completed then came the service training this was extremely very eye opening . I attended the adult classes during this time and I continue to attend because every class introduces new training for my fur baby. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JB. Thank you all see at class.

At Dog Training Elite Huntsville, we believe in-home dog training is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home training allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

In-home training minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of In-Home Training Techniques

Read More
Read Less
  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
