Dog Training Elite knows dog training is truly a lifelong pursuit. As your puppy or dog masters the basics, you can move onto more complicated tricks and training. Maybe you’ve progressed from “sit” to seeing how long they can hold it, or you’re working on taking your pet through an obstacle course.

It can be hard to come up with new ideas to train your dog, and after months of having structured training one-on-one with your pet it can be especially difficult to know what to do next. What will benefit both you and your dog the most?

We offer dog training classes near you for puppies and older dogs that may be the answer you’re looking for. While group training classes aren’t always necessary, they can be extremely beneficial to both your dog and you.

    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.

Building Social Skills and Community

Classes are a mix of all dog breeds and sizes, and our classes provide necessary socialization skills and practice around high levels of distraction. We like to make our group classes exciting for both dogs and handlers, and we have created fun training games and an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing.

We are building a community and our dog training groups tend to feel like a family and less like a dog training group. Friends are made, bonds are formed, and both dogs and dog Owners look forward to their once a week group training sessions.

Signs Your Dog is Ready for Training

Read More
Read Less

Every dog can benefit from training, and it can sometimes be a lifelong pursuit. If you’re wondering if training is right for you, here are some signs your dog is ready for training:

  • Your Dog is Destructive: Whether it’s chewing on furniture or shoes, going to the bathroom in your house, or anything else your dog is not supposed to do -- it’s time to get them trained out of these sorts of behaviors. Even older dogs who were previously well-behaved may develop bad habits later in life and need a training refresher.
  • Your Dog is Aggressive: Aggression can manifest itself in multiple ways; perhaps your dog growls or snaps at you when you get close to his or her food, or toys. Even more concerning is when your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or humans. Yes, sometimes dogs play in a way that seems aggressive, but if your dog is lunging at or snapping at people or other dogs while you’re on walks, it’s time to get a trainer’s help.
  • Your Dog Misbehaves on Their Leash: Walking nicely on a leash does not come naturally to most dogs but it is something that can be learned. Again, even older dogs who previously walked well on a leash may start to act out.
  • Your Dog is Anxious or Fearful: If your dog is dealing with severe separation anxiety, or is fearful in new environments, a trainer can help. For separation anxiety a trainer will work with you and your dog on a routine to reassure your dog. General training, especially in group classes, can help dogs build confidence.
  • Your Dog Ignores You at the Park: Or on walks, or whenever you’re outside. If your dog is obedient when they’re in your home, but loses their mind outside, he or she would benefit from more training. Group classes can be especially helpful because they put your dog in a safe environment with the kinds of distractions you experience outside. Training your dog in situations where there are other distractions helps them learn to obey even when there are other stimulating sights and sounds.

The DTE Difference

Regardless of whether it’s an in-home training session or a group class, the Dog Training Elite training method is the same. We focus on “Classical Conditioning” or the “Pavlovian” method. Research has shown this approach as more effective with longer lasting results than other training methods.

We do not use harsh punishments or shock collars and instead pair balanced training with an electronic collar for superior results. An electronic collar is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog. It is a gentle electronic pulse, similar to the tug of a leash, used to get the dog’s attention. It is never used as a punishment for bad behavior.

Other dog trainers use harsh static collars or spray collars which have been shown to be less effective. The difference becomes clear when comparing a dog that is trained out of anxiety and intimidation vs. a dog who truly desires to please from the inside out. Our method nurtures a dog’s loving and naturally obedient nature.

Benefits of Group Classes

Just like humans, dogs all have their own personalities. Some may receive and respond to all the training they need from private, one-on-one instruction, while others may find great benefit from attending a group class. Group classes can be a great asset to both dogs and their owners, since it provides them with many different situations and experiences they may not otherwise have.

Here are some other benefits of attending group dog training classes:

Group dog training classes have a number of benefits, particularly with socialization. Taking a puppy to group classes once they’re immunized will help them grow into a well-socialized dog comfortable with other dogs and humans. Older dogs who weren’t well socialized as puppies can learn to socialize in a small, safe environment. Trainers will recognize signs of possible conflict between dogs and help owners learn how to diffuse situations and take care of their pets, and dogs will learn how to interact appropriately with each other.

Dog training classes can also be beneficial for owners! If you bring your dog to a group class, you’ll meet other dog owners and become part of a community. Dog Training Elite likes to make group classes exciting for both dogs and their owners, so expect to learn fun training games and enjoy an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing. Classes meet once a week, and both you and your dog will look forward to going every week.

Besides the socialization benefits, group classes are a great tool for dogs to learn to work around distractions. If your dog is perfectly obedient at home, but loses his or her mind at the dog park and forgets all they’ve learned, group classes are the way to go. Group classes are a safe way to help your dog learn to listen to you, even when they’re surrounded by exciting sights, smells and sounds.

In a dog training class, you are in control of the training. While your pooch may occasionally be used as the ‘demo’ dog, there will be very few instances where your dog only has to listen to the trainer. With a class, you are the trainer, and the instructor is just acting as a guide. With all of Dog Training Elite’s training options - in-home or through a class - you will always be the No. 1 trainer, not just sitting on the sidelines as someone else takes charge.

Each dog is unique, and the small classes at Dog Training Elite in Orlando will allow you and your dog to still receive personalized attention and training. You will also have the opportunity to learn from other dogs and their owners. Imagine the trainer advises another owner how to help their dog learn to play independently. Later, you might remember the advice and apply it to your own dog, away from the class.
