    Dog Training Elite is awesome! The trainers are super friendly and really know what they’re doing. My dog listened better after just a few sessions, and they showed me how to keep the training going at home. I’m really happy with the results and would definitely recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who wants a well-behaved dog.

    Marcus from dog elite training is amazing. He loves his job and what he does and that shows. We are currently training my young daughters diabetic alert dog an he does a great job including her and letting her be the one working the dog. We are so happy to be working with Marcus and can’t wait to see the end results with our dog.

    Marcus came out and showed us different things to help, went over so much in detail. Definitely makes me want to get on board with the training for layla. He made sure we had no questions or anything. Was very soft spoken and patient with her as she didn’t want anything. Was very gentle with her and for her to be comfortable with anyone that fast says a lot.

At Dog Training Elite North Shore, we believe in-home dog training is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home training allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

In-home training minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of In-Home Training Techniques

Read More
Read Less
  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
