David Foster
Owner & Trainer | Dog Training Elite Oklahoma

David earned a BS from Texas A&M and an MBA from Dallas Baptist University. For the past 19 years, David has worked closely with veterinarians in the animal health field, inspiring him to become a part of Dog Training Elite. After many years of bird hunting, David decided he wanted to train his new puppy, Tux, an English Setter/Poodle mix, to be a hunting companion. He was so impressed with the programs Dog Training Elite offered, he chose to train Tux here, and now owns his own company. Whether you simply need obedience training or a service animal for your family, David believes a well-trained dog is a great companion for everyone. 

David and his wife Kristin are huge animal lovers and have a small homestead with dogs, cats, chickens and alpacas.  They have 3 children who are all currently in college; Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, & the University of Arkansas.  When not helping with the family business, you will find David hunting (with Tux), playing golf, or mountain biking.

Kristin Foster
Trainer | Dog Training Elite Oklahoma

I’m Kristin Foster. I have 3 children in college and have been married 24 years to David. We are a dog loving family - always having 2-3 dogs to love on at a time. I worked with families of children with special needs for 15 years training the parents in behavioral, communication, and self-care areas. I am now training the dog owners on how to get the best out of their dogs and enjoy a peaceful and calm home. My experience in the special needs world compliments my current role in assisting those who desire a therapy or service dog to help with anxiety, PTSD, mobility, and/or Autism. When you see what dogs are truly capable of, it makes you want everyone to see it first hand in their homes too!

Paul's love for dogs led him into training. If he isn't busy teaching dogs new tricks and obedience, you can find him fishing or at the races supporting his son. He is happily married to his wife of 27 years and has 3 kids and 4 grandkids.

FAQs

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Oklahoma City.
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.

    I cannot even begin to express how strongly I recommend Dog Training Elite Oklahoma for any training needs. We are using them for our service dog training. Their love for the animal and it's potential is amazing. They have been so gentle with Rose during her service dog training and in just 3 weeks she is a completely different dog! We can't wait to she her live up to her full potential and have a purpose after service dog training.

    The trainers have been very helpful to us in getting our Autism Service Dog trained. They have worked well with our busy schedule. We are still in training and have completed the obedience portion and we have seen some major improvements in our dog.

    Prior to DTE, Dashi was very nervous and reactive around other dogs, people, and vehicles. Treats were required to get her to do anything and we would never have dreamed she could ever be off-leash. Now, she is so well behaved and much better around all sorts of distractions. She regularly goes off-leash and is so much more confident and obedient! We can have so many more adventures now because we have confidence that she will listen. DTE was a game changer and our whole family is grateful! Multiple people have noticed that she really is a different dog. We won’t have another dog without DTE!

    Look man, my day was a straight up "BREAK SOME shhtuff" day! While dealing with a family emergency, I realized, I was 30 minutes away from home and my apt started in 10 minutes! I called Kristen who relayed the message to Korbyn (already patiently waiting at my home because you know... punctuality matters... sorry again . She got a heads up that I was having a hard time and NEEDED the therapy. (I'm not crying, you're crying!) When I arrived to my home, 40 minutes later; (I said sorry...) Korbyn sensed my stress/anxiety and informed me that she enjoyed the views my Homefront offer. She just told me if I needed some time to center or grab a drink she would sit right there and enjoy the view. INSTANT relief. Despite my tardiness, she ensured I understood every aspect of the information she provided me. I even had a breakdown moment in front of this young lady y'all. There is not a single, tiny little thing I can say negative about her. I am HONORED to post this. ~ Adam

    Kristin and David helped me train my pup and now he is my full time service dog! They are so thoughtful and passionate about what they do. Couldn’t recommend them more!

    This is the company and these are the people to use to train your dog. David and Kristin are amazing! They are patient yet authoritative with my dog. I saw an improvement in my dog after just the first session. But not only is my dog learning, but I’m also learning how to be a better owner. David and Kristin make the training simple and have given me the tools to reinforce everything they have taught my dog. I am so fortunate to have found them. I highly recommend David and Kristin and Dog Training Elite.
