About Us

Our Team

Craig Fizer - Owner & Trainer
Craig Fizer
Owner & Trainer

Craig's love for working with dogs began as an early age, appreciating the positive impacts they have on improving people's lives. He takes pride in teaching clients how to connect with their dogs on deeper levels, enabling them to strengthen their bond. Craig's career experiences span Software Engineering with a large corporation and VP for a small construction company- where he developed a passion for providing high levels of customer service and problem-solving skills.

Ready for a new path, aspiring to work with animals as a career, he was introduced to Dog Training Elite, in Utah. Once he learned about their over 40 of experience, highly effective training methods and commitment to serving the community, Craig found his new venture. He's excited to bring a new standard of Elite dog training to Central Florida. In addition to the opportunity to give back to the community through DTE's partnership with the Malinois Foundation-training service animals for people in need.

When he's not training dogs, he enjoys spending time with his 3 children and 2 dogs-Sadie (Labradoodle) Murphy(GSP). As a Florida native, he appreciates the great outdoors- golfing, boating, paddle boarding, hiking and coaching youth sports.

He looks forward to meeting you and your canine companion!

    We couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite North Orlando, Craig and his team. Our mini bernedoodle, Koa started with the in-home puppy training program at 12wks where all training was individualized to him and us (we needed training too 😉). We have seen tremendous changes in Koa’s at home and social obedience commands and look forward to continuing to work with Craig and his team to have him Therapy Dog certified. From basic obedience training to intensive therapy dog training, Elite Dog Training North Orlando is our trusted partner in all our dog training needs.

    We had a wonderful experience with Dog training Elite North Orlando. We adopted a 4 year old rescue that had some reactivity after being abandoned and stuck in the shelter for 6 months, and she is also incredibly excitable. Craig and Miriam helped us understand her and even our other dog better, and taught us how to work with and train them! She’s so much better now and we are way better equipped to give her a great life. I’d definitely recommend them!

    Craig has helped me to train my 8 month old Heavapoo. She now gets in her create and I can leave her there while I go out. I live in a Condo so barking could be a problem. She now responds to quiet. Could not have done this without help. Highly recommend Dog training Elite.

    We are so unbelievably happy we went through with dog training with Dog Training Elite. One of our dogs had some scary reactivity issues that had us considering rehoming him and the other was a puppy with no manners. Today we have two dogs who are able to stay on their place and focus on us when new people come into our house. Barely even a bark!! Craig is an amazing dog trainer who brings such a calm energy to us and our dogs when we start to get stressed out. Within 5 weeks of Craig coming to our house, our dogs are completely different. We were also really impressed with that lack of a sales pitch Craig gave us on our first meeting. We looked into a few different training facilities and Craig felt the most upfront with what he recommended (not like he was looking for more money) which was a nice change of pace. We can’t recommend Craig and this company as a whole more, worth every penny.

    My three French Bulldogs were transformed with the professional one-on-one behavioral training of Dog Training Elite. DTE provides techniques which are easy to practice with your pups and very effective. All three of my Frenchies have mastered several essential commands in a short period of time. Most importantly to me, I can now walk all 3 of my Frenchies without them pulling me. Walks are now enjoyable and much longer since they are not pulling and getting out of breath. I highly recommend DTE for training any pup needing behavioral modification.

    Dog Training Elite’s team is WONDERFUL. Finneas and I are so happy with how our training is going. My boy is on track to becoming a service dog and we have a long way to go… but I couldn’t be happier to have Craig and his team by our side during this process. THANK YOU

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team for all of your people training needs lol No, but seriously, they have worked magic with my Zoe and Me. What I love is that they come to your house or to public spaces to work on issues specific to you and your pups needs. Their packages also include group training classes, which are always educational and FUN. Craig and Miriam love what they do and it shows. They are patient, encouraging, and dedicated to seeing you and your pup grow together. I just can’t say enough good things. Oh and did I mention they offer service animal training also!

    We love our trainer, Craig! He drove over an hour to complete training sessions with us on many occasions. My puppy loved him and learned so much from him. He turned my puppy into a well-behaved dog. I am so grateful for everything he's taught me! I feel I can use the knowledge I've acquired with my future pets.

    I can’t recommend Craig and the rest of the team at DTE N. Orlando. Craig came in at a time we needed him the most with our 2 shelter dogs, with two very different temperaments. He is extremely patient with both, and dedicated to seeing them succeed. If you want a trainer that not only is great with your dogs, but really listens to what you want and how you want your dogs to succeed I highly recommend Craig and the rest of the DTE team. They are THE BEST.

    Craig and Miriam are an amazing team, working with the handle and dog. I personally was in need of a great deal of help to train my service dog to do multiple tasks. I followed their directives, today I have a life again. Through the training my dog, I able to live life to the fullest whether it be going to the mall, hospital, church or grocery shopping my service dog is there working right beside me to handle any task he is called upon. Craig and Miriam want help you and your dog succeed at any stage of life either of you are at, it will change your a d your dogs life for the better.

    3 months ago my fiancè and I came across dog training elite on the internet. We were having obedience issues with our at the time 8 month old golden retriever cooper. We were definitely blown away from the initial consultation, and we ended up getting trining for our year and a half old Shiba Inu Nala as well! We were blessed with Maria as our babies instructor, and let me tell you she was the most professional person when it came down to what the training involved, and held us extremely accountable which in end made all of the difference for our kids. I would recommend Dog Training Elite to any and everybody, especially if you’re seeking overall guidance in your current, and future obedience training. 👍🏽

    Craig is a definite must as a trainer if you need help with your dog. I HIGHLY recommend his company, Craig is professional, patient, kind and courteous with not only your beloved dog, but also you the owner. My stubborn Yorkie has made so much improvement so far in the four weeks of working with Craig. More to come.

    My dog is a rescue puppy and had every issue in the book. Dog Training elite implemented structure and obedience into my hazel and she’s never been better. Cannot recommended enough to friends and family.
