Our Balanced Theory

We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

Chelsea, Cheyenne, & Maria at Dog Training Elite Orlando are absolutely amazing! They truly care about their clients and they have helped my dog Ahsoka and me so much! They have helped to take my dog from a demon to an angel. I felt like I was going crazy with her behavioral struggles, but now she is confident and calm in public settings, listens at home, and is able to go everywhere with me as my service dog. She is also successfully learning scent training, with their assistance. I cannot say enough great things about DTE Orlando! I don't fully trust many people with my dogs, but I trust them implicitly. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Dog Training Elite Orlando is a must do dog training program. They helped me make a crazy pulling and biting 3 month old, turn into a calm mannered service dog in under a year! She was able to pass her service test at a year old and now continues to learn from DTE’s amazing instagram posts! I highly recommend them for making your fur baby happy and obedient. Both you and your pup will love their programs!

I can’t even put adequately into words how amazing Dog Training Elite Orlando is! Chelsea, Cheyenne and Maria are the best trainers around. We did loads of research before deciding on DTE Orlando and we are beyond ecstatic that we did. We got an Australian Shepherd pup named Kida and started with their puppy program, which is great for first time dog owners or handlers! They came to us for a free evaluation and on the very first visit already had our pup eating out of the palm of their hands… literally; Working on everything from potty training to crate training and even some fun little tricks that our kids LOVED! They did such a wonderful job with our puppy training that we continued Kida’s advanced obedience and service training with them as well. Anyone who knows Australian shepherds knows they are a unique breed with lots of energy and quirky traits. DTE Orlando helped us with absolutely everything. Remember your dog isn’t a training vault! You have to be willing to put in the work on a daily basis because your dog is only as good as the work you put in as their handler. Because of the talented trainers at DTE Orlando I have been able to enjoy participating in social events again through Kida’s service training. Amusement parks… no problem! Crowded restaurants… not a big deal anymore. Shopping centers, malls, airports, cruise ships, movies, the list goes on and on. Bring your pups to DTE Orlando and I guarantee you won’t regret it! There is nobody better to trust your dogs with. And we learned they now offer boarding through their personal company Emery Ranch! Going out of town? Have your dog boarded with the best and get a refresher on some of that training at the same time!!

Having contacted you guys was the best decision that I could have made for my Belgian Malinois pup. Craig is a great trainer, very friendly, also patient with our dog (mostly at the beginning). He is also very flexible with the in-home training schedules. Now we are in group classes and they are really helpful so that our dog can socialize with strangers and other dogs. We have really seen a big change in our dog thanks to the training. I strongly recommend you to contact them if you are a dog owner, you won't regret it. Thank you for everything!!

I met Craig and Miriam last year and worked with them for several months. They were both extremely professional, communicated often and well, were kind and friendly, and were punctual. On the customer service side, they are a definite A+! Now onto the dog/training side of my review! I needed specific help with my Siberian Husky, so I hired them to help me achieve my training goals. I wanted to train her to loose leash walk on a flat collar or slip leash (get off her prong collar). This was a very challenging task for us to tackle as huskies LOVE to pull. I spent most of my time with Miriam doing 1:1 training, and she is fantastic!! Miriam knows a lot about working dogs, what drives them, and is familiar with the dramatic stubborn husky. She truly spent the time to get to know both of us to figure out the best way for me to teach my dog. Typical training methods were not working for us, so we got creative and developed unique games for my husky. Miriam really cares and wanted to help. She spent the time to watch my dogs behaviors, listen to what we were struggling with, and showed us not 1 but several methods! I learned that what worked yesterday, doesn't always work tomorrow. In my few months of working with Miriam and Craig, I was able to build up a large toolset of training tips to help me communicate better with my dog and we ultimately got her to pass all of her ACK-CGC Obedience exams! I definitely recommend Craig and Miriam for individualized 1:1 training! I will say this... no matter how amazing Craig and MIriam are, your dog's training will only be as good as the time YOU put into it! You also have to do the work.

We decided to get our dogs trained because we noticed their reactivity toward other dogs was getting worse. We were always embarrassed when taking them places because it would mostly end in them barking and lunging at most dogs while on the leash as well as some people. We recently finished in home training with our dogs and have began group classes (which we have always been afraid to start due to their reactivity). After the in home trainings and a couple of group classes, we are now able to take our dogs out in public with way less reactivity. It’s still a work in progress but they have made so much improvement. We look forward to seeing their continued progress

Craig and Miriam are the best trainers. They listen and are there for any problems that you may have in training your dog's. Craig trained my yellow Labrador puppy one on one and when she came home she knew all the basics! Thank you Craig! Thank you Miriam!

10000000/10 would recommend this company! All three instructors are OUT OF THIS WORLD incredible! It is worth absolutely every penny invested into this training. I now have a fully trained service dog that I can bring with me everywhere and helps me out on a daily thanks to them. If it wasn’t for their incredible training, Everest and I would not be where we are today! We now comfortably take on theme parks, airports, stores, restaurants (even fine dining)- you name it and we’ve done it! Everest was a completely different pup before beginning this program. I will say it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. You will NOT see results if you do not put in the work as an owner/handler. They taught me exactly what to do and how to do it. Any questions I had along the way, they would help, but I was the one working and training her on a daily basis to get where we are today. I often get asked in public how I got her to be such a good doggy, but the answer truly is Dog Training Elite. They teach you all the fundamental skills you need to have an incredibly behaved life-long companion. Whether it’s a service dog or not, this training program IS worth it! These three ladies are almost like a magic wand waves over our lives! If you have the opportunity to, please invest in this program! The absolute best of the best here, so don’t look any further!

Got a new dog. Shepard mix. I've had dogs all my life. Wasn't worried about training her myself. She became a handful to the point I was thinking of giving her up. With there help I was able to get the unacceptable behaviors under control and now she has a happy home. Me to.

We have been training our dog through dog training elite for the last 6 months. The team over there is absolutely incredible! With so limited ways to get service dogs, the work that they are doing is quite literally changing lives. My dog has gone from a destructive, uncontrollable puppy to a working service dog. Everyone at the time is so friendly and knowledgeable. The group classes are great to help desensitize the dogs from smells, sounds, and distractions. With each training session my dogs skills continue to grow. If you are looking to get a dog trained, especially if you need a service dog (psychiatric or alert) Dog Training Elite is the way to go!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dog Training Elite Orlando!!! My first in home session was with Chelsea. WOW! What a difference the first one hour session made for my then 7 month old Golden Doodle, and boy did my pup love her. After a few sessions with Chelsea, Cheyenne finished up “our” final training session. My doodle responded to her as if she had been training her all along. Chelsea and Cheyenne are so loving and caring yet able to keep my pups attention as well as trust throughout each training session. In my opinion they are the best in the business!!!

100% RECOMMEND - Dog Training Elite Orlando is a godsend. My family got a corgi puppy (Sage) in January 2023 and at the time I never thought about doing dog training until I could not sit down on the couch to relax in the evenings without Sage constantly jumping at me. Everyone else in my house could sit down and do things except for me. When we went outside, I could not leave my property without her pulling back to come home, I couldn't even go to PetSmart or out in public without her pulling back when she heard a sound or saw other people. I saw Dog Training Elite at a home and garden show and contacted them for a consultation. When Chelsea and Maria arrived, Sage would not even come near them; if I sat close by, she wouldn't come to me. I knew I had to do something before it was too late. It was a big decision to make, but I knew it was something I needed to do. I joined the Dog Training Elite Family and within 2 weeks I saw a difference in Sage. I was able to sit down to relax, and we could walk off of our property and go for a walk. Each week I could see she was becoming more confident and started allowing Maria, Chelsea, and Cheyenne to pet her and approach her. Now when we attend group class she rolls over and wants them to scratch her belly. This was the best decision I made. Thank you, Maria, Chelsea, and Cheyenne for helping Sage and my family. You guys are the best!

When we bought our German Shepherd puppy I knew that the only way we could have this breed meant that we needed to be sure that she was fully trained. We researched many trainers and decided on Cheyenne and Chelsea. We had always had very easy dogs, temperament-wise, before our GSD and never needed formal training for them. This puppy was a new story! From the first visit I knew that our girl, Remi, was in the right hands. Having a German Shepherd has been a new challenge and Chelsea and Cheyenne at our side have given us the confidence and support to feel like we can handle her unique quirks, intelligence and reactive protective aggression. We went through the initial puppy training sessions with them and were thrilled with the results. Remi was immediately responsive to commands and was exceptionally obedient. Unfortunately, due to our schedule and circumstances, we were unable to follow through with the next phase of their recommended training and our dog became aggressive and reactive. We were feeling frustrated and concerned about our ability to keep her as a safe pet around others outside of our home. When I reached out to them about this, they immediately responded and gave me concrete suggestions and plans for how to address her behavior, despite the fact that we were at fault for not following through with the next part of the training that we were supposed to do with her. Chelsea and Cheyenne are incredibly committed to ensuring that you and your dog have the best relationship ever. Today they came to our house for over an hour to touch base and make sure that any regressions that our dog was having were addressed and nipped in the bud. They are dog whisperers, without a doubt! They not only know how to handle reactive and aggressive dogs, like ours, but they also are able to show us what to do to confidently do the same. I am so grateful that we found them and have absolute confidence in following their amazingly insightful suggestions and insight!
