Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville exceeded my expectations. Top 3 things I loved: 1) Their patience with my dog – never rushed a lesson. 2) Their experience and knowledge of dog behavior – every session felt professional. 3) Their kindness and understanding – made the training feel supportive and fun. I found them easily when looking for dog training near me and would recommend them to anyone seeking obedience training for dogs.

5/5 stars – I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite. Brad was extremely knowledgeable and made it easy for us to understand each step in the training process. He was extremely dedicated to the training and answering any questions we had. He was appropriately firm but equally caring and affectionate with our Toast. We have seen a great improvement each week with Toast in regards to the commands but also in her overall confidence.

I was looking for dog training near me and found Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville. I appreciated the personalized approach and would definitely recommend them.

I felt the whole process was friendly and effective. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for dog training near me.

Brad with Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville far exceeded our expectations with his expertise! We felt so defeated with our dog’s behavior, and we had even had some tough conversations with our vet. After our initial in-home consultation with Brad, our hope had been restored. It was so rewarding to see the week-to-week improvement after each in-home training session, and I feel that we finally have our dog back! He is a much happier and WAY calmer dog now, and we are finally able to take him out in public again. Over all, I don’t think you’re going to find a more knowledgeable, patient, or experienced trainer in our area. Thank you, Brad! We are forever grateful for you!

Our experience with Brad at Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville was exceptional, from the professional approach to the responsive communication, we couldn't ask for more. Brad was knowledgeable and explained everything to us during the private obedience training sessions.

Parker has started helping us with Oakley our new golden retriever and we can already tell a huge difference in his behavior! he stopped, chewing on our couches and obeys simple command so far. We are extremely impressed and even more excited about the future. We highly recommend dog training elite in Nashville and surrounding areas.

Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville provided top-notch services! Brad really honed in on our dog’s needs. To be honest, I was very nervous that our dog’s reactivity would never get better. Marcus is a rescue that was found as a stray and was around 2 at the time we got him (Aussie). He is a total love bug with us but started resource protecting us, our home and the yard. He reacted extremely toward other people and dogs on walks and definitely when they visited our home. It was uncontrollable. The difference from the first private training session to the second was remarkable but on the last personal session at Lowe’s, he didn’t react to anything. We are now in the group classes and my worries have subsided. He still has tiny moments here and there but can be redirected quickly. The difference from this training is nothing short of miraculous. It’s only been 9 sessions so I know that after a few more group classes, all of Marcus’ reactivity will be gone. His is all fear driven and he is more and more confident with each session. If you have a reactive dog, don’t give up on them. Call Brad at Dog Training Elite!

Brad at Dog Training Elite was EXCELLENT!! He turned out super-hyper, headstrong dog unto a manageable and enjoyable pet!! It's a process and we're still working at it. But Brad gave me the knowledge and skills to be able to do that - not only with Java, but with our new puppy, as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and worth EVERY penny!!!

Brad is great!!! He’s friendly, upbeat, and most of all, great with dogs. He worked with us to tailoring our lessons to the behaviors we wanted to correct - especially aggression! In-home lessons were a great start (thank you, Scout!) and we’re excited to be starting group lessons next, something I wasn’t sure would be possible with our Pyrenees-Lab Mix!

Excellent puppy training from Brad. Brad was very patient with Archie snd clearly knew what he was doing. Archie has learned so much and is well behaved and pleasant to be around

We were impressed with Brad’s comprehensive understanding and expertise on dog training. He provided valuable insights and effective techniques that greatly enhanced our knowledge of dog behavior and how they react to training. He is funny too. During the training process we always looked forward to our session. We highly recommend Brad and Dog Training Elite.

Brad did an amazing job training our puppy. In just 5 training sessions our dog will come when called, sit and stay until we release him, lay down when we tell him to, and go to his bed when we give him the command. If you need a dog trainer, this is your guy.

Brad was amazing! Noticeable improvement in our puppy’s behavior within the first week.

Brad and team were AMAZING!! They are flexible and gave us the skills to keep our dogs calm and happy! So glad to be able to go out into public with my anxious dog!!! Thanks Dog Training Elite!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The trainers at Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville showed immense kindness and patience during our training sessions. Brad’s expertise and clear dedication to his craft made for detailed and clear training sessions that gave us the tools to confidently become leaders for our dog — creating happy dog owners and a happy, healthy canine citizen! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to create a strong relationship and bond with their dog. The in home sessions were a game changer for us as well, providing us with in the moment solutions to behaviors with our new Labrador puppy.

I have participated in private in-home dog training with Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville, and I was impressed by Brad's expert guidance, bolstered by his kindness, patience and true desire to successfully train our dog who has done great with this training!

The expertise, patience, and kindness exemplified by the Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville staff made our dog training journey an incredibly positive and encouraging experience. Their positive reinforcement approach and expert advice on obedience training for dogs left us feeling empowered and confident to tackle any challenges that may arise. Brad was Awesome!!!

Working with Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville has been a game-changer for our puppy and family. We went from being stressed and overwhelmed with our puppy’s behaviors and how our kids reacted to them, to truly enjoying our puppy. Thanks to Brad and all he taught us, we have a great dog who fits in great with our family.

Choosing Brad to help us with our new puppies has made all the difference. We had a great experience working with Brad. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand each pup’s personality. His calm approach and clear guidance made training not only effective, but enjoyable for all of us. Highly recommend!

Brad was an excellent choice for training Piper. He was very knowledgeable and patient with Piper and us. I would recommend him to anyone but his services.

I'm the owner of 5 large dogs. My German Shepherd had started being aggressive toward my other dogs. I knew Brad had his work cut out for him, the first day was super intense. Brad worked his skills and got her under control. By the end of our training I have a different dog now and the knowledge to start training the rest of my pack. Brad was wonderful and I enjoyed working with him.

We loved working with Brad! He provided top-notch instruction and support for our Golden Retriever. We were blown away by how well Brad was able to care for and work with, not only Wesley, but us as well. Making sure we had all the knowledge necessary to continually work with Wesley. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Greater Nashville!

Our Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville experience was outstanding from the first moment to the end session! Brad not only made us feel comfortable, he approached us with humor as well, which is our comfort zone! He quickly learned our baby and honed in with patience and his lessons stuck due to his consistent approach with both our dog and us! I highly recommend to anyone needing their proof. This is it!

I was very pleased with the specialized coaching and detailed training skills that Brad (Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville) shared with me and my dog. His precise yet gentle training approach was spot on for my disability needs. Brad’s training instructions were instrumental in guiding us become a better and more effective service dog team. The home training sessions exceeded my expectations every week; we had a familiar environment in which we learned, practiced and troubleshoot new skills. Think about it, an expert coming to your home to do dog training - You can’t beat that! This is just some of the reasons that I am so glad I found this company and that Brad is our trainer!

We can’t say enough amazing things about our experience with Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville and our incredible trainer, Brad! Our 4-year-old Icelandic Sheepdog, Kylo has with a very enthusiastic herding instinct—cars, birds, squirrels, rabbits, even small children on our walks were all fair game in his eyes. But from the very first session, we were blown away by how well Kylo responded to Brad’s calm, confident guidance. Brad brought a perfect mix of kindness, patience, and consistent leadership to each session, and it was clear he genuinely loved working with dogs. We saw noticeable improvement after every visit, and best of all, Kylo was having the time of his life learning and growing. Brad made training fun for all of us—not just effective! Thanks to Dog Training Elite, walks are no longer chaotic but enjoyable, and we feel so much more connected to our pup. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, professionalism, and real results, Brad and the team at Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville are second to none. We wholeheartedly recommend them!

Brad was the best when it comes to working with my dog! Highly recommend to anyone with a dog that needs training!

I was impressed by Brad at Dog Training Elite. After working with my Australian Shepherd, who is a handful she is definitely a different dog . He has built up her confidence and she’s no longer scared of people . I would highly recommend any dog training . He is very patient and kind and he really loves the dogs.

Masterful and skilled! The best dog trainer I’ve ever met! He is so kind and compassionate also! Highly recommend!

Brad has changed my life! I can't say enough good things about this program but specifically about Brad himself. I came into this process uneducated, unsure, and anxious. After completing our 8 in-home one-on-one sessions I can truthfully say I am educated, sure, and no longer anxious! Brad made me feel comfortable from day one and met my dog where he was. Brad handled difficult situations with grace and never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed of my dogs behavior. I seriously cannot say enough good things - take the leap! It's well worth it.

Really appreciated the consistency and professionalism. Our puppy is much better behaved and continually getting better. So happy we did it.

Brad has been a tremendous resource for us and our new puppy. He is patient and has a wealth of knowledge that has proven to be very helpful in the training process! We would recommend him to anyone seeking some additional training resources for their dog!!

They were amazing at getting our five year old Great Pyrenees to not be reactive and listen better. Their techniques are doable and I cannot thank them enough! Such an improvement!

Brad is PHENOMENAL! His patience with our VERY stubborn 4 year old dog was incredible! He never wavered or showed any signs of frustration, but instead continued to confidently show his expertise and knowledge, even still somehow seeming to enjoy himself! Brad's care, compassion and passion for what he does is palpable. Our dog loves Brad!

The trainers at Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville were incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging, making the entire training process a positive and effective experience for both my family and our pup, ultimately transforming him into a well-behaved companion. With their exceptional expertise and caring approach, they helped us overcome our pup's behavioral issues and achieve the best results through their top-notch private in-home dog training.

It was such an enjoyable time watching Brad train our German Shepherd Kilo. I will recommend to everyone that needs a great company to train their dogs.

Brad and Dog Training Elite Nashville were the absolute best thing to ever happen to my dog. Our family has a miniature Aussie and boy is he a handful! Within 3 training sessions our dog Bandit was a new man! Once we were finished with our in home session it was like Brad had given us a new dog, it was amazing. I can’t speak highly enough of Brad and his ability to work with not just dogs but their owners. I would recommend them over and over!

Brad with Dog Training Elite has been FANTASTIC to work with. He is great at both dog training and training us to be confident and able to effectively train our dog outside of scheduled sessions. He has helped us be able to see and unlock our dog's potential. We thought we were doing okay on our own, but Brad has helped us take our dog's obedience to a whole new level. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville.

Helped out tremendously!!!! Night and day difference from day 1!! Brad has been amazing!

We have been so pleased with the work of Brad Okeson at Dog Training Elite. He has done wonders with our facility dog. Our school counselor was able to reenforce the skills taught. Our dog is now able to work effectively with the children in our school and they are responsive to him. Brad has been personable and great to work with.

Brad has done an amazing job with our Saint Rose School therapy dog, Cosmo. He has a gentle teaching style that works beautifully to encourage and teach Cosmo.

Brad is an excellent trainer. Our facility dog is pretty close to perfect!

They have done a wonderful job training our sweet Cosmo! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Brad is an excellent trainer, he was so accommodative with our schedule and AMAZING with our dog! We couldn't have been more pleased with the results shown through his training course, & would totally recommend him again and again to everyone and anyone. 🩷

Where to start: Brad Okeson is an outstanding trainer as well as a supportive listener and incredible teacher. He is all of these and also generous with his time and talent. Brad has been training our dog to be a therapy dog for our school. He assessed the puppies in our dog’s litter when they were 49 days old and chose our pup for his temperament, explaining how he was chosen. The very next week, Brad began working with our puppy, Cosmo, and me, as his owner and handler, in the environment for which Cosmo was chosen: our school. Brad has faithfully, continually, and patiently addressed issues, explained our puppy’s behavior, determined goals and helped us to reach them. Brad’s demeanor is pleasant and his style is gentle and firm - Cosmo adores him. He is delightful to learn from and watch in action. Cosmo is now eight months old and he is beloved by students and faculty alike. Cosmo’s behavior is so obedient, loving, and gentle that some of my colleagues have arranged to hire Brad to work with their own dogs in their homes. I cannot adequately express the admiration and gratitude I feel for Brad Okeson but I highly recommend him to you as you consider training for your pup.

Brad is the best!!! He is so attuned and amazing at his job. He made all of our dog dreams come true as he personalized our experience down to every detail. Everything little thing I wanted to change and work on, he made happen, happily and easily. I’m so thankful I went with elite before anyone else. I truly don’t know where else I would have gotten this wonderful experience with the best results.

Brad was a pleasure to work with and very patient with our stubborn beagle. Our beagle had food aggression issues. Brad help us understand the reason for the behavior and how to best deal with it.

Very reliable! I wouldn't look anywhere else for dog training.

Brad is great. If you need your dogs trained in the Nashville area give him a call!

Brad has an incredible way with dogs. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and does a great job at making every session productive and enjoyable. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get better at communicating with their dog and see real progress along the way!

Brad is phenomenal at communicating with dogs and has a unique ability to make training both effective and enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and delivers real results, I can’t recommend Brad highly enough!

My 3.5 yr. old lab mix, Oreo, was becoming more reactive and territorial over time. He was our first dog (Covid dog), and we hadn’t properly socialized him or taken him places. It gradually grew to the point where we were having to put him up when guests came over and run outside to get him when anyone pulled up. His unpredictable behavior made me extremely anxious! I knew we had to do something, so I looked up dog trainers. The first thing that drew me to Elite was the free in-home evaluation and positive reviews … some related to reactivity and aggression. I met Brad and felt very comfortable with him. He was knowledgeable and extremely thorough when asking questions about history and behavior. He genuinely wanted to know what was going on with my dog and how to help him. Oreo responded well to Brad immediately. Brad was always right on time and even stayed a little longer at times to work on something we’d mention. The in-home sessions were so helpful, and he showed us what to do between visits. We are now in the stage of doing group classes, which I was very nervous about. My alpha male, reactive, unsocialized dog just attended his first group class and did amazing! I was/am shocked at how quickly he has progressed. At home, we are still figuring out guest interaction and logistics, but I have confidence knowing that on the leash I can control him in most any situation. With a bit more time and practice, I think we’ll be able to control him just using voice commands. He already responds to all of his voice commands off leach under normal circumstances. I can’t recommend Elite enough for most any issue. I honestly wasn’t sure if it would work or work well enough to be worth the cost for our dog, but it definitely has been. I realize now how wrong we went about things … we had not given him boundaries or taught him how to behave in a way he could understand. Just like with kids, I actually think he likes his boundaries and feels safe when they are in place. I’m excited for Oreo’s future and continued learning.

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. My trainer was Brad. He was very knowledgeable and patient with our dog. Great results.

Dog Training Elite is absolutely the BEST. I have had dogs my entire life and never seen a dog more wild than our Flair. She is a strong black lab & has so much energy we had lost control. We could not even walk her around the block due to jumping, pulling and running. My parents nicknamed her "the wrecking ball." After being knocked down and having my elbow dislocated, I decided to get help. I'm so thankful to have found Brad. He came to our home for a consultation and then began coming on Friday mornings for training. Brad is so knowledgable, patient, caring, and kind. He is definitely the kind of person you would want training your dog. He also taught my daughter and I how to work with and support all the new behaviors Flair was learning. I was amazed at how quick she responded to training. After a few weeks she listens, follows directions, does not jump on furniture or people. Flair even walks on a leash like a champ. This morning we moved from walking in the neighborhood to Lowes. She is doing better than I ever expected and it is all because of Brad. We are so thankful to Dog Training Elite for helping us enjoy every moment with our sweet girl. Flair even got her first pup cup today as a reward for doing such a great job!

We just finished our in-home classes. Brad is a great trainer. He's serious about his work but he also makes it fun. He's patient, he listens, and he cares. It's amazing what he can do with our stubborn dog, Willow, in such a short period. My husband and I have learned so much from him and we are extremely grateful. I'm happy that Jackie has joined him. She's lovely and a great trainer as well.

Brad is an exceptional dog trainer who transformed our Australian shepherd into the best-behaved boy both at home and in public. His expertise and effective training methods worked wonders, and we saw remarkable improvements in our dog's behavior in a short period. Brad's approach is professional, compassionate, and tailored to our dog's unique needs. We're so impressed with the results that we've already planned to have him train our new puppy, Keeko. We highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable dog trainer!

My trainer Brad was awesome and worked well with my dog. He gave me lots of practice to help myself and my dog master the new skill. He was informative, patient, and personable. I enjoyed each session and the group sessions gave me the perfect opportunity to see how well my dog really did after receiving the training. It is well worth the cost.

Great training and excellent trainer. In home training Malancy was very knowledgeable, personable, and has a passion for training. She made us feel at ease and was able to train us as well without making us feel dumb. If you want a trainer, she's the best.

Malancy was our trainer and she was wonderful! She was calm and patient with our very young, energetic and head strong boxer dog! She was extremely knowledgable and confident in her abilities. She gave me the confidence to know that my dog was not untrainable. I have seen tremendous improvement in my dog. My dog is listens and respects me now and doesn’t try to rule the house anymore. I loved our experience! Thank you Malancy!

Malancy (our trainer) is fantastic!! She really understands my GSD and within minutes of meeting us was able to assess our dynamics and relationship. Sofia WAS very reactive and we didn't gave good experiences leash walking or participating in canine/human activities. Working with Malancy has been a game changer for us. Sofia and I participated in a human/canine obstacle course race and she did not react one time to dog teams we passed during the race or even getting to the start line. I highly recommend Malancy to help improve the relationship you have with your K9!!!!

ELITE - 5 STARS - Working with Malancy has been a blessing.I was at my wits end. One of my four canines began acting out in an aggressive behavior toward another one. They could no longer be in the same room. Since working with Elite the tension has lessened, they can now be in the same room or outside, together, and with each session I learn something new on how to continue to be a happy canine family. Malancy practices really easy, practical, and life lessons training. Highly recommend if training is needed.

When your puppy goes from the size of a baked potato to the size of a small bear in a single year its easy to miss some critical training! Our trainer Malancy got us back on course and really helped me through some frustrating behaviors while never wasting time on things I wasn't worried about. I appreciated that she didn't come into our training with her own idea about how Herman should behave, but listened to what things were important to me. No shaming me into keeping him off the furniture or the silly "alpha" rhetoric that's all over the internet. Just simple, executable commands that all build upon each other to help your dog understand exactly what you need from him. He didn't learn any silly tricks but rather improved significantly on his manners. Additionally, she helped us work through the difficulties of training one dog in a two dog household and tailored the training to include both dogs where possible. She was super flexible with scheduling and incredibly patient with my giant, lazy boy.

So happy to have found Dog Training Elite for our 11 month old Pyredoodle, Sophie! Gracie, Sophie’s trainer (and I suppose ours as well 😊) is fantastic! She is patient and consistent whenever we have a lesson. We always looked forward to the in home lessons with Gracie and now look forward to the off site ones as well. Sophie is becoming (and continues to become) a well mannered pup thanks to Gracie!! Shout out to Brad and Malancey as well, Dog Training Elite is AWESOME!!

Malancy (our trainer) is fantastic. We have gone from a wild boxer puppy (10 months), named Kash, to an easily controllable one year old in a few short weeks, with her help. The progress on a weekly basis is unbelievable. I come away from each session completely shocked at what our puppy is learning and the control that Malancy is teaching my wife and I to have with him. An added bonus is it really seems like Kash is enjoying being trained. I highly recommend this program to anyone who has a four legged friend that needs help with manners. The difference is night and day and we certainly have not regretted this decision.

Malancy with Dog Training Elite has been my savior! Before working with her my schnoodle Luna was extremely stubborn and even though she knew basic commands, she refused to listen. I specifically chose DTE for behavioral training, and I am so happy I did. Not only does Luna LOVE malancy, I finally feel like she loves me too! This training program has made our relationship so much better. She’s learned discernment around other dogs, walks and heels perfect on a leash, listens to all basic commands and it has even helped her stay calmer alone when I leave her to go to work. I can’t thank DTE and Malancy enough. Now that she’s fully training I feel comfortable getting her a playmate and I will once again work with Malancy when puppy comes home. :)

Malancy was an amazing trainer, her energy and passion was infectious! Tess loved every minute of her training and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Thank you to Dog Training Elite.

We are so pleased we chose your company for training. Malancy is so good at her job that we were fortunate to get her. We’ve come to love her and what isn’t to love. Our puppy has learned from the best of the best. We’re gonna miss her. This is the best training in this area.

These guys deliver! After a few sessions, I was able to take my dog on a walk without fearing she’d be aggressive to others. Malancy and Brad are super!

We were assigned Melancy to help train our pup. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend her and Dog Training Elite!!

My dog is so much better! I have a husky mix with a huge running away problem but after the in home sessions in our package his recall is amazing. He’s improved so much! Our trainer Malancy is so knowledgeable about dogs and how their minds work, somehow she was able to conquer his stubbornness and showed me how to make this a forever change! Love Dog training elite and Malancy!

I am totally satisfied and happy with the results. My dog “Jackson” was very difficult to deal with. He was always dragging me or pulling, he was combative with other dogs and just uncontrollable . However, after a few lessons we got him to sit, finally! Then lie down, then go to your place. We got him use to walking near other dogs. Now I look forward to walking him in the park, I can take him to dog park he has learned to play rather than be aggressive. Brad was very patient and did a good job teaching me how to teach Jackson.

With an in-home demonstration and a full breakdown of what they offer and what you can expect from the training sessions, you can't go wrong when starting work with Dog Training Elite. Malancy has been laser-focused and firm with our dog, completely methodical as a trainer, and the progress we have seen in six weeks has been incredible. We not only have a much better-behaved dog but also a road map on how to work with him going forward. If you have a dog who's out of control or simply requires a bit of direction, Dog Training Elite's services are exactly what you need.

Our trainer was Malancy. My wife and I found her to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Our dog Dan loved her also, and she made a positive difference in him from day one. Dog training comes very natural to her. Thanks Malancy for everything.

Brad from Dog Training Elite was great! My territorial dog has become much more calm! We were able to get another dog and have since added goats. We would have never been able to do that prior to training!

I started my dog with the basic gold package to work on obedience. Malancey has been my trainer and she has been wonderful! She has helped me learn to watch my dog for cues on his behavior and has helped my dog learn to listen and obey while still having fun. Malancey came to my home for the training (I’m unable to do group training due to my work schedule) and it has been so helpful to have training done in my home setting so that I can continue that same work during the week. She has also offered different tips and tricks, outside of basic commands that have been so helpful! I’m closing in on the end of this golds package training and I really look forward to continuing on to therapy training next. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Greater Nashville because I am learning so much, but also I am seeing my dog become even more of a sweet, smart, and Obedient puppy! Thank you so much Dog Training Elite!

Elite dog training is simply the best ! Our golden retriever Nala is so smart and well behaved now. Malancy is a wonderful, respectful, and talented dog trainer who is always welcomed in our home. Her love and passion for training dogs is evident !

I am currently going through the training with Malancy as the trainer. My family and I have been working with her to establish the baseline for our dog Luna. She has been phenomenal in working with our dog. Teaching her the basic fundamentals of what is required to eventually become a service dog. Everyone praises how well behaved and trained Luna is. Malancy was very thoughtful, and thorough in explaining the whys and don'ts of this process. I would highly recommend and encourage anyone seeking training services to move forward with Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville!!

I interviewed multiple dog trainers. This company does what they promise. They come to you for a demonstration for free!— they stand behind their work. No gimmicks. They know what they’re doing; they’re effective. The training is straight-forward, easy and sustainable.

8 weeks ago my wife and I were at a crossroad. Our 1 1/2 year old lab was destroying everything in and outside of our house and he would overwhelm guests by jumping/peeing on them. It had gotten to the point we had to keep him in our garage when we were expecting visitors. He was and is the sweetest thing, but no matter the amount of dog training books or videos, the situation we were in was only getting worse. We were at a point when we thought he wasn't going to work out with our family, so it was decided that we needed some help from the professionals. We reached out and talked with Brad at Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville. He was empathetic with us and the situation we were in. He reassured that whatever behaviors our dog was expressing, could be easily remedied. Malancy at Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville was the professional trainer we worked with throughout the entire process and she was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We just finished our last in home training visit and we couldn't be happier. With their guidance and expertise, our dog is not only well-behaved, but truly feels like he's part of our family. Thank you again to Malancy and the team at Dog Training Elite for helping mold our puppy into the best dog we've ever had.

Absolutely amazing, they’re 100% respectful and extremely knowledgeable at what they do. Can’t thank them enough for helping us with our dog!

I'm not gonna lie. My french bulldog is a hot mess. She's adorable but has high anxiety, dog reactivity, and acts out by eating all of the wood in our house (stairs, windows, furniture...anything expensive, obviously). At our meet and greet I just said, "good luck." We have just finished the in home training portion and are about to go to group trainings. Let me tell you. They are miracle workers. We even had a neighbor ask his dog why it couldn't act more like ours! I never thought I'd see the day. And they did it while we had a 12 year old senile french bulldog wandering around trying to sabotage all the classes. But they were patient and friendly always. And they have been able to accommodate my work and travel schedule. The holiday didn't even mess things up, which really surprised me. If you think your dog is untrainable, definitely call Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville. You won't be disappointed.

I was completely satisfied with the service and training I received from Elite Dog Trainer, Brad Okeson. I recommend him with a five star plus rating!

I recently purchased the golden package from Dog Training Elite and it was the best thing for my dog. I have a Mali-Dutchie and she needed a job. She enjoyed the training so much and the trainers were patient and kind with her. They are always there to provide feedback and answer any questions. They were encouraging to my dog and worked really well with her. I would recommend this training for any dog no matter what you want their skill set to be.

I would highly recommend them, very knowledgeable people , and super nice!!! There is absolutely no one else i’ll go to for my pups!!! If you use them, you won’t regret it!!!

Great trainers and worked with my dog very well!

Great dog training! I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Brad is a fantastic trainer. Very informative and easy to work with. I highly recommend!

I Absolutely loved training and learning with dog training elite! I highly recommend.

Brad and the Dog Training Elite system is fantastic. His knowledge of dogs is impressive and he was able to teach us how to better communicate with our dogs. I HIGHLY recommend! You will not be disappointed.

Brad is a great trainer and super easy to talk to!

I see now that it requires my presence to be part of the dog training for our dog. There are things that I can then do to reinforce the behavior until the next session. Quick progress with their methods.. very pleased!

Brad is an excellent dog trainer!
