    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.

    I called Dog Training Elite and they were more than happy to help out almost immediately I've had my dog training with them and it has made a world of a difference I can tell they really take time with the animals and care for them just as much as I do! I will be recommending Dog Training Elite to everyone I know!

    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.

Our Training Method

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training, the approach matters. At Dog Training Elite North Shore, we rely on a balanced combination of positive reinforcement and gentle electronic collar techniques to provide the best results for you and your dog.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Dogs are eager to please and we take advantage of this in our training method. Unlike other trainers that use harsh punishment to reinforce behavior, we only use positive tactics. By showing dogs what we want them to do with positive reinforcement, we receive a better response. This is the preferred method for dog lovers! We certainly do not want to harm dogs, and we know most dog owners agree with us.
  • Electronic Collar: Our trainers use an electronic collar to support their positive reinforcement training methods. This is not a shock collar. The electronic collar simply gets your dog's attention and ensures superior training results when paired with a command.
  • Stronger Bonds: To develop stronger bonds between dog and family, we ask dog owners and other family members to take part in training sessions. Our goal is to help you train your new dog as a valuable member of your family with love and trust.
