    Lulu had training with Julia today. Julia is so good with her and I feel like she is progressing. My husband and I are very impressed with Julia’s knowledge and especially her patience with our sweet baby. Looking forward to next week’s lesson!

    Wonderful experience today with Montana from Elite..communicates clearly, knowledgable, and she is a friendly, kind person. The training is best price I have found for in home and classes. They offer service and obedience. She works individually with the dogs abilities. I am excited to have my first training.

    Parker, Montana and team are reliable, consistent, extremely competent, and professional. They mix all of these traits with a level of empathy and caring that make them very effective. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my thumbless child. It’s just too bad y’all don’t have a ten-star rating, because I would give him 11.

    Renia, is who I have been working with so far and she is amazing. Also the company worked with me on a payment plan, due to the Government shutdown and I have never been more grateful. I highly recommend them for any training needs, from basic obedience, to a service animal.

    Montana with Dog Training Elite is fantastic to work with. We dog parents love her and her style of training; now our baby pup, Rado, well….he would appreciate her not visiting his home 🤣😇

    Carol is easily one of the finest trainers I have met. I would trust her completely to work with my dog and me. I cannot afford training at this time, however. I appreciate her time and skill.

    Montana is a lovely young lady and Lydia took to her right away! This is in Nashville, by the way. She explained everything about the training program very well. She listened to the things I would like to do with Lydia and what I would like Lydia to be able to do. I appreciated her spending the amount of time she did and I felt well informed about the program. Thank you Montana, for throwing that BALL!!
