Elite, Award Winning Dog Training Services in Nashville, TN

I have LOVED my experience with Eric and Dog Training Elite! The best investment I could've made for me and my dog. 10/10 I would recommend them!!!

I love Dog Training Elite! We recently finished our 6 private lessons and have moved on to our 12 group lessons. I can't believe how well our 6-month-old golden retriever/lab mix listens and obeys. I LOVE that she listens because we've bonded through our training and not because I've bribed her with treats. Both Malancy and Brad have been amazing to work with and the training has been so consistent. We're new to group lessons, but it's already been great to take what we've learned at home and now apply it in a group setting with other dogs and dog parents going through the same program. DTE really wants you and your dog to bond and succeed. They're super professional, supportive, and non-judgmental. I also love how the training I've been doing with our dog is translating into her also respecting and obeying my husband and kids with the same commands and praise. At first, it sounded like a lot of money to me to pay for dog training, but I promise you it's worth every penny. I love knowing that by the time we fully graduate from training (if not sooner), we're going to be able to take Pepper anywhere dogs are allowed without having to worry about her or fight with her to get her to obey. If we decide to go the therapy dog route after completing our initial training, I'll definitely be sticking with DTE for that training as well.

Worth every penny! We aren’t even halfway through with training and I’m just blown away. Jason is AMAZING. He’s so great with my dog, I couldn’t even believe how easily he captured her attention from day 1. He made training simple and easy to understand and was available anytime I had questions or concerns. My life with my dog has improved significantly and I’m very excited to see how much further we can go!

I had a dog I was certain I would have to re-home if I ever decided to travel…at least until I met Jason and his beautiful dog at the Lawn and Garden show. My beautiful little Sheltie has blossomed since training began last spring. We have a ways to go to become a bit more social, but the change in my dog and in her level of confidence is remarkable! Thanks to Jason and to Dog Training Elite. I would recommend you to anyone!

These guys are absolutely awesome! They have taken our 1-year old Great Dane and have helped us transform her into the best, most well behaved dog I have ever owned. Eric, Jason, and Parker are pure professionals. Thanks to them the same out-of-control Great Dane is working to become the service dog that I need. Couldn’t thank you all enough for what you have done for me and Shada.

Could not have asked for a better experience! I had Parker literally meet me and my anxious kids the day after we brought our 8 week old puppy home to TN on an airplane. Parker got us set off on the right start and helped alleviate so much of our anxiety about training our first dog. Eric then helped us during dog training build the skills that we needed to be successful at home. I loved the in-home training so that we could focus on personalizing our training and getting our pup used to the daily routine of our busy home. Plus my kids could also get trained since they were the ones who needed to learn how to be consistent and clear with the commands. Here we are at 5 months old and our puppy is such a joy to have in our home - all thanks to Parker and Eric, our dog whisperers.

Parker and Eric have worked wonders for my pup, Moose! I’m told all of the time that he’s so well-behaved for his age. I feel so much more confident as an owner and have no problems taking him out in public. One of my favorite things about Parker and Eric is their strong but fair approach. This training was so worth it! Highly recommend.

Amazing

We have an Australian Shepherd, Duke, who loves everybody and just gets really excited in general over people and his frisbee. In his excited state it's tough to get him to listen to commands that he already knows. I felt like I had good treat training down but I needed help getting him to listen when I needed him to the most. Now my dog knows how to recall perfectly, he is so well behaved and I can communicate with him super effectively and reliably. We have a lot more fun together now because of our training. Parker is awesome! He is extremely patient and he listens to what your concerns are. What sticks out in addition to his ability to be a great dog trainer and to be so confident his work, is his ability to also communicate in a straightforward but encouraging way to us as the humans. It seems half of dog training is also human training. I can say with confidence that our time and financial investment into training has paid off tenfold!

Parker and the team are phenomenal! We really appreciated their help and support with Brody. Highly recommend.

We are absolutely thrilled with the Training that our Eddie received from Parker and Jason - we started with him as a puppy and everyone is amazed at how well he's doing for such a young dog. I recommend them to all of my neighbors. Well worth the money for a well behaved puppy!

Parker and Jason are phenomenal dog trainers. We have a Malinois and worked with Parker in the home for 8 sessions. By the end of those 8 sessions my dog, Malcolm, was able to stay in his place while company came to the house. We also have been able to take him in public just about anywhere without fear of negative behavior. We have now “graduated” to the group sessions with Jason. These are so much fun for us and the dog because he has always struggled being around other dogs. I am so glad I invested in this training. Ultimately it has made my dog more confident and our bond stronger.

Dog Training Elite is an incredible business. Parker is so slay and nose what to do. He is practically a medium for dogs, like a mind reader. What a fabulous lad.

My German Shepherd was out of control. Brad taught me how to teach my dog and how to modify his behavior. At first he was aggressive towards other dogs and would pull so hard it would hurt my arm. Now he is a pleasure to take for a walk. He heels well, sits, lies down on command. Will stay in his safe space for hours. He is only 18 months old. He is a pleasure to have in the house. He now plays with other dogs at the dog park and has calmed down a lot. Thanks Brad for helping me learn how to teach my dog, I now enjoy my relationship with him.

Jason has been absolutely fantastic to work with! When we began, my puppy was wild. Now here we are 6 weeks later and he is doing very well! I am excited to continue training and very excited to be able to take my dog out without worry whether or not I can control him. I highly recommend them!!

I had a good experience with Dog Training Elite. My dog listens and follows commands. I appreciate the time and expertise during the private and group lessons. Parker was able to work with my very stubborn dog.

Parker is an amazing trainer! He transformed my spoiled rotten 2 year old chocolate lab into an awesome dog! Just the first day (1 hour) of training she was a totally different dog. Now I can take her anywhere with or without a leash. She listens to my commands and doesn’t drag me where she wants to go, but right beside me the whole time. I used to watch dog training shows like Cesar Millan and think I can do that, but man I was wrong! I had no idea I was doing it all wrong and then Parker showed me in less than an hour what a great dog she can be! I am so happy with DTE and Parker!

Parker and staff at Dog Training Elite are second none! Their knowledge and skills cannot be surpassed. Parker is not only a great trainer, he is also a great teacher. The lessons he has taught me about training my own dogs have been invaluable. If you are looking for dog training, look no further.

I loved my experience with DTE. The in-home visits were easy to schedule and the trainer was very helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to get amazing help for their dogs to schedule with Dog Training Elite. Also shoutout to Jason, our trainer, for being so friendly and informative throughout the training process.

Parker and Jason are AMAZING they truly teach by communicating with the dog not intimidating them. Highly recommend!!
