We absolutely loved using Dog Training Elite to train our golden retriever. Craig was the perfect trainer to help with our dog and also gave us tips and tricks to keep working with our dog in between lessons. It was nice and easy that Craig came to our house so that we could translate the commands to the everyday environment that our dog would be in. We also love doing the group training classes so we can learn to focus and obey commands with distractions. Our dog’s behavior changed so fast after our lessons and our friends and family still comment on how good and how well trained he is. I will use Dog Training Elite for our future dogs and recommend them to any of our friends that are looking for training.

Absolutely adore Craig and staff. We transferred from the Venice location to our former home in the Orlando area and we were blessed with Craig. Whenever there's an issue with our Brussels Griffons Odile and Giselle we get a response within an hour ( most often less) and get a resolution to our issues. Craig is extremely polite as well as professional and ( at times) quite humorous. Our girls worship him as do we.

Craig transformed our dogs (2 miniature bernedoodles) behavior to be obedient task-trained service animals. Because of him, we have felt confident and comfortable to bring the dogs on 10 hour + flights. We couldn’t recommend enough!

Craig and his team did amazing getting Arthurtheservicedog to his full potential. Arthur is a rescued American pitbull terrier who today helps a veteran manage there PTSD.

I have been working with this company for a few months with my dog, Gucci. He has made so much progress with his temperament and overall. obedience. Being able to be more hands on with his training has taught me how to help him become successful and continue learning as he gets older. He has successfully passed his training test thanks to Craig!! I would highly recommend this company for training needs. Instead of just taking your dog away for training, they teach you the tools you need to be able to aid in the training process at home for on going and long-term success.

Dog Training Elite was a game changer for my Cane Corso. Zion became aggressive overnight, and we were afraid he would not only be a liability, but life became really stressful. We needed help fast. Craig's knowledge, and his calm nature gave us confidence and reassurance. His calm nature and welcoming demeanor made him the perfect person for the job. Zion is a completely different dog. We are forever grateful.

I found multiple dog training facilities near my house, but this one is exactly what they promise! The reviews are legit and the training is right at your door & at your convenience! Worth every penny!

Very helpful in training my therapy dog. Craig was great and very flexible with meeting times and locations. The group classes are a bonus too!

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite in North Orlando. The owner Craig is an outstanding trainer. Craig is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He has helped me train my English crème pass her Public Access Test and is now helping me finish her training to be a service dog for both me and with my husband’s mobility challenges. I can’t say enough good things about Craig and his expertise! I am so grateful to have had this experience training my dog. It’s been very rewarding watching how quickly my dog responds to the positive reinforcement that Dog Training Elite uses in its training program. Thank you Craig!

We have had an amazing experience working with Craig and his team to train our golden retriever into a diabetic alert dog! We have seen so much progress in her and can’t wait to see how much more she continues to grow!

We adopted our two-year-old German Shepherd about six months ago, and while she’s an amazing dog, she definitely is high-energy and needed some structure. Working with Craig has been a game changer! Iris has learned so much and the difference in our day-to-day life is incredible. She’s more focused, calmer, and so much easier to communicate with. We still have group classes ahead of us, and we’re excited to continue building on the progress she’s already made. Trainers at DTE are patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do - so thanks to Craig and the whole team at Dog Training Elite Orlando — highly recommend!

I cannot recommend enough going with Dog Training Elite. I have learned an incredible amount of valuable information on how to best direct my dog Enzo. To train him, learn with him, grow with him. The trainer I have the pleasure of working with is Craig, and he couldn’t be better. Polite, calm, friendly and assertive, he has taught me how to best provide the most successful future for my dog. My dog over the course of the training has vastly improved in his obedience, his attitude, and ability to learn. Every tip and trick is customizable to the specific dog, such as interchangeable phrases and terms. The trainer has taught me as the handler how to correctly encourage my dog, correct my dog, and encourage growth. I went from having a crazy silly puppy to a well trained and well mannered dog that I am working towards getting a certification to be a service dog. It wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for Dog Training Elite! Thank you, a million times over, for helping my dog and I grow into the best team!

We enrolled in the Puppy to Platinum program with Dog Training Elite North and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. When we began, we were struggling with basic commands and walking routines - both of which improved significantly within the first few sessions. The sessions were hands on, direct and easy to reinforce at home. Over time, we saw our dog become not only more obedient but more confident and relaxed in new situations. That shift has made a meaningful difference in our day to day - for both us and our dog. If you are looking for training that delivers results, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite North, Craig, and their team!! Five stars all day.

I have a 8 year old Pitbull and she grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats that are no longer around. So whenever she sees a dog or cat she’s barking and wanting to go say hello (bark) to where it’s an issue. I kept seeing Craig’s truck so I gave him a call and he has helped us tremendously. I take her everywhere with me now and under control. To be honest, I really didn’t have high hopes going into this, considering her age. But Craig definitely knows what he’s doing.

I’ve had a great experience with Craig while training Cairo. While training can be challenging since Cairo has a huge puppy brain, Craig has helped to teach and provide the resources needed to ensure Cairo’s obedience and ability to the service dog test. Cairo is an extra large puppy that is mixed with Cane Corso, German Shepherd, and Husky so it is extra important in choosing a trainer that can help you breakthrough barriers that may be associated with breeds that have a bit more attitude (or are drama queens like Cairo lol). Craig is patient and knowledgeable and makes training a fun process!

I am very grateful for the services I received from Dog Training Elite North Orlando. Craig the tainer is a spectacular person, an amazing trainer with our beautiful dog Bella. I recommend him 100%. Thank you, Craig.

I’ve been training my puppy with Craig since I brought him home and it’s been the best decision I could’ve ever made for us.

Craig is an excellent professional. He has helped my puppy in many ways and a lot of patience. Couldn’t recommend a better trainer.

I can’t say enough great things about Craig. He has been working with my dog since she was a puppy, and the results are amazing! He built such strong foundations that have shaped her behavior and confidence. His passion for dogs truly shows in every session. He has so much patience and such a calm, intuitive way with dogs. It’s like he’s a real dog whisperer! He’s also extremely professional, responsible, always on time, incredibly friendly and a really nice person to work with. My dog is completely transformed thanks to his guidance. I’m so grateful for everything he’s done and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and talented trainer.

Amazing results! My dog, Fenrir, is an exceptionally well-trained dog. Thanks to my trainer, Craig, and Dog Training Elite, Fenrir is able to come with me wherever I take him without causing any issues to the public and myself. I suggest investing into the program as it may help in the future.
