Orlando Dog Socialization Classes

Socialization is crucial for a dog’s development, significantly impacting their anxiety levels, aggressive tendencies, and overall well-being. At Dog Training Elite, we recognize this importance and offer socialization training to help your pup feel comfortable around different people, animals, and unfamiliar places.

We introduce socialization in a controlled and structured way. Once you and our trainers are confident in your dog’s obedience training, we gradually introduce them to our dog socialization classes in Orlando, FL and public settings. By prioritizing obedience first, we ensure your dog has a strong foundation of self-control and responsiveness, making the process smoother and more successful.

At Dog Training Elite, we are committed to minimizing stress for both you and your dog. We use proven techniques and involve you from the very beginning. Whether you’re out for a walk, visiting a friend, or navigating a busy public space, you’ll have confidence in your abilities and your dog’s behavior.

When to Socialize Your Puppy

Read More
Read Less

Socialization for dogs should be happening throughout their lifetime. Still, getting a good start as early as possible is always best.

Socialization for puppies starts at just three weeks old as they begin to engage with their littermates and the world around them. The “sensitive period of socialization,” when puppies are primed and ready to try new things, is from 3-14 weeks of age. Because puppies can go to new homes at around eight weeks old, you only have a small window to get that necessary socialization training done.

You can start puppy socialization classes in Orlando, FL with DTE as soon as you bring your puppy home at eight weeks old! Our classes are puppy safe and provide an excellent opportunity for your puppy to meet new dogs and people while having new experiences outside your home.

What Do Our Puppy Socialization Classes in Orlando, FL Look Like?

Read More
Read Less

Puppy and dog socialization is not about teaching new commands or obedience but creating a positive experience around new stimuli. Socialization can look like taking them around your neighborhood, letting them hear and smell things at their own pace, and offering plenty of soft treats. It can also look like introducing them to a friend's healthy dog in a safe place and allowing them to greet the dog and learn about social cues and behavior from them, all while offering treats and praise.

Our socialization classes teach your puppy or dog that even if something is new, it can be safe and fun to explore! We create opportunities for your pet to safely meet new dogs, smell new things, hear new sounds, walk on different surfaces, and meet new friendly people.

Socialization is all about removing fear and entering new situations with curiosity.

    The process was a challenge for Pluto and for us, but we are very happy with our service dog. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible. 100% recommended.

    Where to start? I have APBT's and having dogs all my life, thought I could train these 2 as well. Well, I was wrong. Linked up with DTE and I have never regretted it. The owners and trainers are amazing. My pups were so happy to go spend the day with them for classes. Never once did my pups show signs they were mistreated, never. This video circulating is way out of context and doesnt do the trainer nor the program justice. Ive seen it and as an animal advocate myself, she did nothing wrong. The dog is not in pain and stopping gently on leash is a correct method. To the DTE staff keep doing the amazing job you're doing and ignore the haters and ignorant people out there that are jealous.

    Our special boy was a great family dog, but didn’t always come when called. Living on a busy street, we wanted to protect him from harm if he ever got outside accidentally. We met Dog Training Elite at the Home and Garden Patio show, where many dog companies advertise. Cheyenne and Chelsea were wonderful from the first time that we met them. They had several of their dogs with them, who were so well behaved. They would respond to multiple commands off leash with no treats or collars, just words of affirmation and petting. It was obvious they loved what they do and they loved their dogs. We did an in-house consultation and hired them for 4 in-home training sessions. They thoroughly explained their training process with e-collars, treats, and positive affirmation. By the end of class one, we already had a new dog. They not only trained him, but also educated us. By booking those sessions, we received lifetime access to group sessions. Two years later, Fosse still loves going to group walks at the Winter Garden Farmers Market and group training sessions around town. He is so proud and happy to be a well-trained and well-loved dog. He is smiling every time we hang out with Dog Training Elite and their trainers. They might be as proud of him as we are! I highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone in the Orlando area and so does Fosse!

    We had an amazing experiencing with DTE ! Our golden (Remus) did the platinum and is about to start psychiatric training. 10/10 recommend and cannot thank the staff enough ! Cheyanne and Chelsea are amazing with evaluating and helping you choose which program would be the best fit for you and your companion’s needs along with answering any/ all questions you may have . Logan and the other trainers that works with Remus , are super nice, helpful, and offer great feedback on your companion and ways to help you and your dog succeed in their program and dogs health! We saw an immediate difference in Remus within just 1-2 days of him training in the classes and it has boost his confidence level . He looks happier and shows a more confident and prouder stance in how he represents himself. In addition, the group classes and outings with the pack make it a great learning experience and welcoming to participate no matter where you are at training wise with your furry companion. We couldn’t be more proud and happy to be part of the DTE pack !!! In addition, this facility DOES NOT HARM and DOES NOT USE shock collars and it’s at the owners discretion on what training tools the owner would like to use whether it be an e-collar ( that vibrates/sounds) , martingale collar, or prong collar.

    We had a good boy in Fosse before Dog Training Elite. Now, we have a great boy! He completed Therapy Training and loves to meet new friends and spend time with them. Chelsea and Cheyanne have been consistent resources and continue to help Fosse grow as a dog. I was hesitant to use the ecollar due to things I had read but when used correctly, it can truly change your relationship positively with your dog. Something else that I did not expect was the community that we would gain from other clients. If someone is investing this much into their dog, they are dog people. We often stay after class chatting with other owners. The pack walks are social fun for dogs and owners alike. DTE is not cheap, but we have been more than happy with the results and that has been a tremendous value.

    Craig has been an amazing trainer for my golden retriever since he was just 8 weeks old. We originally started training with the hope of him becoming my guide dog, but he turned out to be the sweetest lovey-dovey who just wants to love everyone he meets! Even though that path changed, Craig’s professionalism, knowledge, and patience made such a difference. My dog learned great manners, is incredibly well behaved in public, and is always a joy to take anywhere. Craig is truly great with animals, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and experienced trainer.

    Round 2 with DTE Orlando. Our first GSD has gone through their training program and was so successful that now my second GSD is in the program. All of the trainers are awesome and give great feedback on training for your doggies. Both Chelsie and Cheyenne have been there from the beginning with us and have helped tremendously. Shoutout also to Jasmine, Emily, Logan,and Brooke! It takes a Village 🥰

    As a local business owner, having a reliable 'office dog' is a game-changer for our daily operations, and we owe that entirely to Cheyenne and Chelsea at Dog Training Elite Orlando. ​We originally brought Okey to them as a 6-month-old with the goal of service dog certification, and the process was so seamless and professional that he is now the perfect addition to our workspace—calm, focused, and impeccably behaved around clients. We were so impressed by the 'elite' standard they maintain that we’ve already entrusted them with our two newest puppies. If you’re looking to elevate your dog’s behavior to a professional level, I cannot recommend this team enough. They are truly the best in the industry!

    Cheyenne and Chelsea at Dog Training Elite Orlando have earned our trust completely. After seeing the incredible transformation of our 6-month-old service dog, Okey, we knew we couldn’t go anywhere else. We now have two more puppies in their care, and the results are already showing. They make the training process fun for both the dogs and the owners. Do yourself a favor and send your dogs to the best in town!

    Training a dog can feel like a daunting task, but Cheyenne and Chelsea made it feel effortless. The progress our pup made was nothing short of amazing. The entire experience was so positive and well-organized that we didn't think twice about enrolling our two new puppies. If you want an easy, enjoyable, and effective training journey, Dog Training Elite Orlando is the only place to go.

    Absolutely stellar experience! Cheyenne and Chelsea are miracle workers. They took our 6-month-old dog, and helped us turn him into a service dog with such ease. We loved the process so much that we brought two more puppies to them for training! This is hands-down the best place in Orlando for your furry family members. Five stars isn't enough!

    If you are looking for top-tier obedience or service dog training, Cheyenne and Chelsea at Dog Training Elite Orlando are the best in the business. They helped us transform our 6-month-old dog, Okey, into a fully capable service dog through a process that was seamless and stress-free. The quality of their work is so consistent that we now have our two newest puppies training with them as well. It is an absolute joy to work with this team—don’t hesitate to trust them with your dogs.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dog Training Elite Orlando. We started our journey with Okey, our 6-month-old pup, who we hoped could become a service dog. Thanks to Cheyenne and Chelsea’s expertise, the process was incredibly smooth and rewarding. They didn’t just train Okey; they gave us the tools to succeed as a team. We were so impressed with the results and the enjoyable experience that we’ve already enrolled our two newest puppies in their program. If you want trainers who truly care and deliver elite results, look no further!

    We brought our anxious 4-month-old Rough Collie puppy to Cheyenne and Chelsea for obedience and service dog training. They are truly incredible trainers who transformed our unruly nervous puppy into a emboldened model service dog. In fact, we were so impressed that we were bold enough to get two more pups (at the same time!) who we’ve already enrolled into their programs! If you want your dogs to be well-behaved members of your family, who can accompany you anywhere—from public outings to stress-free vet visits—this is the team to call. As a pilot and surfer, having "adventure dogs" who can keep up with my lifestyle is essential. My oldest has accompanied me surfing, kayaking, flying, to theme parks, shopping, everywhere. The impact on our home’s stress level has been worth every penny. I cannot recommend them enough.

    Today we had a lesson at the Training Site and it was really interesting to see how my dog behaved around other dogs doing the same training. If you’re not sure if your doing the training correctly, just asked the staff. They know your dog well and are super friendly.

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite Orlando has been incredible. Eros started in the Platinum program and now we are continuing with the Service Dog program, and we have truly seen an impressive transformation in his behavior, obedience, and confidence. What makes this place special is the quality and dedication of their trainers. Chelsea, Cheyenne, Logan, and Emily have been absolutely wonderful. They are always patient, professional, and it’s clear that they truly love what they do. They have guided us step by step and are always willing to answer questions and help us improve as handlers. The training doesn’t focus only on the dog; they also teach the owner how to properly work with their dog to maintain long-term progress. Thanks to their support.
