Dog Training Elite Los Angeles believes so strongly in the healing power of service dogs for retired military veterans that we have created "The Malinois Foundation". We donate our time and passion to veteran service dog training Los Angeles for the foundation.

Service dogs can help ease both mental and physical impairments attained through a veteran’s service to our country. Many veterans suffer from PTSD, physical disabilities, and a variety of other handicaps and service dogs have been proven to lessen symptoms and assist in integrating veterans back into normal routines as much as possible.

Dog Training Elite is proud to partner with The Malinois Foundation to help with training service dogs for retired military veterans in Los Angeles.

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.


  • Empowering Owners
    We empower Owners to train so their dog knows who to obey at all times.
  • Personalized
    We deal with problem behaviors on a personal basis.
  • Environment Specific
    We train wherever issues tend to arise (i.e. jogging, park, home).
  • Supportive
    We support Owners in the off-hours (when training is "not in session").
  • Involved
    We work with all members of the household.
  • Simplified & Customized
    We plan training around the owner's schedule and require only 20 min/day follow-up practice.
  • Continued Training
    Additional programs / group sessions offered after in-home training.
  • Lifetime Investment
    We follow up & are invested in the owner's success long-term.
  • Satisfaction Ratings
    Our high client satisfaction rating sets us apart from competitors.

My Clyde is a timid 9 year old rescue dog. Dog Training Elite showed me you can teach an old dog new tricks. After trying to train her for over a year, I came to realize this was beyond my capabilities. I am so grateful for Jon and Dog Training Elite. He was beyond patient. Not only he trained my dog but also took the time to train me, which was probably even more difficult. I love that they come to you and teach you in your home. Now I get compliments when I take him to places as he is very well behaved. Well worth every penny spent.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jon to improve the walking experience with my dogs, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Before his guidance, walking my dogs was a constant struggle, with each pulling in different directions and becoming easily distracted by every scent and object on the ground. Jon was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, demonstrating effective techniques to make our walks more enjoyable for both me and my dogs. His gentle approach and clear communication style made the training sessions productive and enjoyable. What impressed me the most was Jon's professionalism and dedication to his craft. He took the time to understand my dogs' unique behaviors and tailored his methods to suit their needs. His genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction, and my dogs responded positively to his guidance. Thanks to Jon, walking my dogs has become a pleasurable experience rather than a dreaded chore. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of professional dog training.
