Positive Reinforcement Training


Read More
Read Less

Positive reinforcement is widely recognized as one of the most effective and humane methods for training puppies and adult dogs. This training approach focuses on rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones.

This method is especially beneficial for puppies as it helps them develop confidence and trust their owners from an early age. Rewards such as treats, praise, or toys encourage puppies to repeat good behaviors, making the learning process effective and enjoyable. For adult dogs, positive reinforcement is equally effective. It shapes desired behaviors and helps prevent the development of bigger issues like anxiety, aggression, or destructive tendencies.

Why Dog Training Elite is Committed to Positive Reinforcement

At Dog Training Elite, we believe dogs learn best when they feel secure, loved, and motivated. That’s why we incorporate positive reinforcement into all of our training programs. Our approach is based on the idea that rewarding good behavior leads to lasting results, helping your dog develop the skills they need to succeed in any environment.

By focusing on positive reinforcement, we teach your dog obedience and strengthen the bond between you and your pet, making the training experience rewarding for both of you. Whether you’re working on basic commands, advanced obedience, or addressing specific behavioral issues, our commitment to positive reinforcement ensures your dog’s training is effective and humane.

    Bailey has been working her MAGIC with my sweet dutchess, the progress is so insane just after a few sessions- today we worked with her dogs (joker and delta) and my dutchess (pitbull) felt so calm with them and immediately all the training started to click. Truly working wonders!

    Karsen is fantastic. She knows her dogs & does a great job with my hardheaded Aussie. My puppy loves her & Gypsy.

    Working with Bailey has been such a positive experience. Her understanding of the individual dog's behavior & instincts is amazing. Her perspective & approach helped me connect with my Belgian Malinois on a whole new level. I’ve always had rescue dogs but this breed is oh-so very different. I realized very quickly I was going to need help. He (Bronson) is extremely smart, driven & quick to test all boundaries. Since he was a rescue I needed help w/ socialization & correcting some *very* challenging behavior problems. Bailey helped with confidence and firmness before my pup could outsmart me. Her guidance has made such a difference. She has taught me how to handle & understand him & his unique needs. She’s very caring toward both the owner and the dog and she’s enlightened me on training techniques I didn’t even know existed. I’m beyond grateful for her knowledge, patience and dedication. My sweet baby boy Bronson & I are very appreciative. High recommendations!

    We completed our 2nd session with Bailey and couldn't be happier with the results so far. Our Owen is making excellent progress, and we feel confident we'll get over the reactivity hurdle soon.

    We’ve had the best experience with Dog Training Elite. Bailey is fantastic. She is dependable and knows exactly what to do with our pup. She is intentional with her time and has been a great help to us, the owners, as we continue her good work when she leaves. I know our dog is in the best hands with Bailey, and we totally trust her guidance. Two thumbs up!

    Bailey is absolutely phenomenal. She has worked tirelessly with our Cane Corso Monocco and has transformed her into a well behaved baby. At only 5 months old she has learned so very much and I could not be more proud of all the progress and hard work Bailey has put into our girl!!

    I was very pleased with the first session. She was able to bring him down stairs in which he would not come downstairs for 9 months. We are on the road to recovery.

    Debbie came to our home to evaluate our new puppy as a serviced dog for me. He will be trained to sevice Parkinson’s (mobility issues) and PTSD (Anxiety). Debbie was very helpful, knowledgeable, and our pup responded to her quickly. He did throw a puppy temper tantrum while she was here. Even with his full on puppy rage, (teething and not being weaned properly from his mother), she quickly put him in check and demonstrated how to handle him and de-escalate the situation. I was extremely impressed and look forward to seeing what’s next for us.

    I was so sad and disturbed because my precious, very traumatized little one was not progressing much. I was desperate for help! I simply didn’t know what to do next. Then I found these people. Oh how thankful I felt! Still I wasn’t sure, but I had to try. I’m so hopeful now. Thank you very much, Debbie!

    My sweet (to me) Iris has recently started training with Jess. She’s already come a long way. Our first encounter was a bit scary. I thought Jess may become a puppy treat. Just a few weeks later, Iris & Jess are playing catch in the backyard. With her help, my time with Iris is becoming a much more pleasurable experience.

    I can’t say enough good things about Bailey at Dog Training Elite! She is everything I hoped for in a dog trainer—professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. You can tell she’s truly educated in this field. What impressed me most is that she brought her own dog with her, and we were able to see her training methods in action. It gave me so much confidence in her approach. If you’re looking for a trainer who knows dogs and genuinely cares, ask for Bailey. She’s the real deal!

Our Balanced Theory

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in using a balanced approach for all of our training programs.

Here’s how our approach works:

We provide owners with the practical skills and knowledge needed to manage their dogs in any situation. Our hands-on training ensures owners feel confident and capable of continuing the training process independently.

We train dogs in familiar environments. Whether at home or in a public setting, we ensure the training is practical and relevant to everyday challenges. This ensures your dog behaves just as well in the doggy park as he does in the home.
Our commitment to you doesn’t end with the initial training program. We offer continued training and resources to help maintain and build on your dog’s progress, ensuring ongoing improvement for both you and your pet.
Training with Dog Training Elite is an investment in your dog’s long-term behavior and your peace of mind. Our programs lay the foundation for lifelong good behavior and strong bonds, providing lasting benefits for you and your canine companion.

In-Home Training

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to dog training, many facilities only offer group classes. While these classes can be beneficial in certain situations, they often fail to address specific behavioral issues and provide personalized attention. Group classes tend to focus on general obedience in a controlled environment, which may not accurately reflect your dog's real-life challenges at home.

Benefits of In-Home Training

At Dog Training Elite, we prioritize in-home training before introducing them to group settings. Here’s why in-home training is an important first step:

  • Training in a Familiar Environment: In-home training occurs where your dog spends most of their time. This familiar setting helps your dog feel secure and comfortable, making it easier for them to learn and retain new behaviors.
  • Personalized Attention: Our trainers focus on your dog's specific behavioral challenges, providing customized solutions. This one-on-one approach ensures your dog gets the attention they need to succeed.
  • Fewer Distractions: Unlike group classes, in-home training minimizes distractions, allowing your dog to focus better on the lessons. By eliminating the chaos of group environments, we can address behaviors more effectively.
  • Involvement of the Whole Family: In-home training encourages active participation from all family members. This collaborative approach ensures everyone is on the same page, reinforcing consistent commands and behaviors across the board.

At Dog Training Elite, we offer both in-home training and group classes. It’s important to note we only introduce your pup to group classes when our trainers and you feel comfortable doing so.

By working one-on-one with your pup before they meet other friends, we address the root causes of their behavior and ensure they are well-behaved in the place that matters most–your home.
