If you have been searching for the right trainer for your Border Collie in Elizabethtown, you have come to the right place. Famous for its incredible herding abilities, the Border Collie has a long history as a skilled working dog. With intelligence that can outshine that of a Poodle, Border Collies are also praised for their quick learning. Loved for both their unique, energetic personalities and adorable look, these pups are popular among American families. Like many other active and intelligent breeds, Border Collies require extensive training. At Dog Training Elite, we offer various programs that are suitable for these great dogs: puppy training, obedience and therapy animal.
Affectionate and incredibly active, Border Collies make great dogs for those that have the time to provide the right amount of attention. This breed needs exercise and plenty of it, as well as mental stimulation. The best way to keep your Border Collie mentally healthy is training. Starting in puppyhood and continuing through adulthood with advanced lessons, training will ensure your Border Collie stays mentally nimble and builds a strong, obedient relationship with you. Our talented dog trainers are experienced with this wonderful breed and are ready to assist you in training! We help transform wild, playful puppies into loving, long term family companions.
Our Border Collie training programs cover the following commands and training milestones:
- Crate Training and house breaking

Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

I cannot say enough positive things about Marlene and Joe. Our Boy is 4 and a half months old any strangers often are SHOCKED that he is so young because of his behavior. Bodin has been working with them since he was 12 weeks old and i can’t wait to see who he is after all his trading is completed. I will recommend Dog Training Elite Kentuckiana to anyone and everyone! Thank you for all that you have taught baby boy Bodin and us!— The Andersons

Marble is a completely changed GSD from the first day we started. Marlene and Joe were so amazing! Everything I wanted to have them train Marble on, they did that and so much more! I think the best thing about everything is the in-home experience and the ability to observe what's going on where most places have people drop their pets off and never really experience the process. Marlene and Joe were very helpful and for me, it speaks volumes when Marlene would request updates on the homework she gave us during the week. This was an investment that was WELL WORTH IT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!— LaVar Quarles

My dog and I had such a great experience with Marlene and Joe. After only four weeks of training with them I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my dog. We both learned so much, I could not recommend Dog Training Elite and Marlene and Joe enough.— Sandra Lopez
