    Dog Training Elite Nashville has been fantastic! Aiden, Parker, and Reina all did a fabulous job with us, and we’ve seen such a dramatic difference with Gus. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping both us and Gus succeed. It’s truly an investment in yourself and your dog, and the results are so worth it. The progress has been incredible, and we’re so grateful for their guidance and support. Highly recommend!

    Trey was The BEST!! What I thought would be impossible with teaching out pup he handled with ease and made it happen!! And our little dog wagged his taiol the whole time! He was loving learning and gave Trey all the kisses and thanks after!

    I’ve been working with Dog Training Elite for 2 months. I’ve seen incredible improvement in my dog’s behavior, temperament, and resource guarding. I’ve worked with Austin and Trey, both of which have been wonderful. They’re encouraging and very professional. Absolutely worth the money.

    Parker took time to answer all of my questions and gave a positive first impression of the company. I am eager to get started with my puppy’s (and my) training!

    Rhett was very professional, and knowledgeable. He was able to explain pricing, and services clearly, and efficiently. I feel as if Elite Training would be an amazing fit for us.

    Best dog training experience of my three. Red is kind, considerate, and well-trained. On our eighth lesson, we took my 60-lb dog to an antique mall. We walked in the areas for 50 minutes, and Memphis didn’t touch anything. He also was approached by several people and was a perfect gentleman. Five stars all the way.

    We have loved working with Dog Training Elite! We have two young children – and being able to work with these trainers has really helped our Portuguese water Dog, Arthur, be such a great little member of our family. They are so responsive, professional, and knowledgeable!

    We are so happy we found and entered a training program with DTE! When we started, our pup, Tarkin, was high energy and difficult to handle. Now, he is a respectable member of society and very good boy 😊 As a concerned owner, I really appreciated their style and approach to his training. It was very easy for us both to understand and the progress he made speaks for itself.

    This training has been so vital to enjoying our dog/yard/walks again. Shoko has made incredible strides. This program has allowed us to feel secure again and empowered with the training. Red, the trainer, has been fabulous every step of the way. *pic of Shoko at her last outing prior to group lessons and her laying calmly in place outside.

    We’ve been working with Red on Bernie’s therapy dog skills. We always benefit from his professional and knowledgeable teaching. Plus, he makes it fun!

    Enjoyed working with Parker and Montana. Both were very knowledgeable. Nova’s behavior at home has improved! Appreciate the flexibility with scheduling lessons

    They have been prompt and professional. My dog has enjoyed each person. He has been calm and performed well which is hard for an English Bulldog.

    Red is an extraordinarily kind and patient person, my 3 year old frenchie Zeppelin has come so far in the 4 months since we started training with Dog Training Elite. Not only has my boy learned solid commands, but walking on a leash and interacting with other dogs has been a night and day difference. Our trainer Red not only provides support and praise, but has provided me with peace of mind and assuages all fears/concerns still to go with furthering our training goals. He’s a genuine asset to your organization, and we look forward to our next lessons with him in group classes. Thank you for all that you do!

    Red is a very professional and excellent trainer for our pup. He always gives great tips and encourages both me and my pup during our sessions. I highly recommend him for all your puppy training needs.

    Red from Dog Training Elite is the BEST! We truly cannot sing his praises enough. He helped turn our crazy puppy into such a well behaved dog. We love how communicative Dog Training Elite is - they have made this such a smooth training process.

    Gus has been training with Red, Raina, and the Dog Training Elite team since he was 9 weeks old. We could not be happier with the puppy training Gus has received, and we are looking forward to starting group classes soon. He has transformed from a crazy, often frustrating puppy to a companionable and trustworthy friend in just a few short months with their help. He’s ready to keep learning and growing under their steady and gentle training.
