The Benefits of Puppy Training

Dog Training Elite

Early training shapes a puppy’s behavior for life. Teaching structure, commands, and impulse control early makes daily life easier and sets the stage for a well-behaved dog.

Without proper guidance, puppies can quickly develop habits like jumping, barking, or chewing that become harder to correct over time.
Training strengthens communication and trust, creating a better relationship between owner and dog.
Exposure to new people, places, and other dogs helps puppies become more adaptable and reduces anxiety in unfamiliar situations.
Obedience commands provide control in unpredictable situations, keeping puppies out of harm’s way.

Puppy Training 101

Key Commands For Puppies

Read More
Read Less

Obedience commands help puppies understand what is expected of them and how to respond in different situations. These skills are fundamental for shaping a well-behaved and responsive dog:

  • Down: The "down" command teaches a puppy to lie down and stay in place until released. This command helps with impulse control and keeps a dog calm in busy environments or when guests visit.
  • Break: "Break" lets the puppy know they are free to move after following a previous command. This command helps structure training by showing the puppy when a command is over and they are allowed to move.
  • Heel: "Heel" teaches a puppy to walk calmly at the owner’s side rather than pulling ahead or lagging behind. Practicing this skill improves leash control, makes walks more enjoyable, and helps the dog stay focused in public settings.
  • Come: A reliable recall command is one of the most important skills a dog can learn. "Come" trains a puppy to return immediately when called, helping to prevent dangerous situations like running into traffic or getting lost.
  • Leave It: "Leave it" teaches a puppy to ignore or drop objects they shouldn’t touch, such as harmful food, household items, or dangerous materials. This command helps prevent destructive behavior and keeps the puppy safe.

    I have a 8 year old Pitbull and she grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats that are no longer around. So whenever she sees a dog or cat she’s barking and wanting to go say hello (bark) to where it’s an issue. I kept seeing Craig’s truck so I gave him a call and he has helped us tremendously. I take her everywhere with me now and under control. To be honest, I really didn’t have high hopes going into this, considering her age. But Craig definitely knows what he’s doing.

    I’ve had a great experience with Craig while training Cairo. While training can be challenging since Cairo has a huge puppy brain, Craig has helped to teach and provide the resources needed to ensure Cairo’s obedience and ability to the service dog test. Cairo is an extra large puppy that is mixed with Cane Corso, German Shepherd, and Husky so it is extra important in choosing a trainer that can help you breakthrough barriers that may be associated with breeds that have a bit more attitude (or are drama queens like Cairo lol). Craig is patient and knowledgeable and makes training a fun process!

    I can’t say enough great things about Craig. He has been working with my dog since she was a puppy, and the results are amazing! He built such strong foundations that have shaped her behavior and confidence. His passion for dogs truly shows in every session. He has so much patience and such a calm, intuitive way with dogs. It’s like he’s a real dog whisperer! He’s also extremely professional, responsible, always on time, incredibly friendly and a really nice person to work with. My dog is completely transformed thanks to his guidance. I’m so grateful for everything he’s done and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and talented trainer.

    Amazing results! My dog, Fenrir, is an exceptionally well-trained dog. Thanks to my trainer, Craig, and Dog Training Elite, Fenrir is able to come with me wherever I take him without causing any issues to the public and myself. I suggest investing into the program as it may help in the future.

    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite! My dog used to eat everything she could find, and I was constantly worried about her safety. He not only helped her stop eating random things but also taught her how to stay calm and focused in public. Now she walks right beside me in public — totally well-behaved, no pulling, no distractions, just confidence and control. I’m so grateful for the time, patience, and care that went into her training. It truly feels like I have a whole new dog. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone struggling — it’s worth every bit! 🐾

    We have a female Belgian Malinois and started training at about 5-6 months old. She was a rescue so we had little knowledge about her parents, she is now just over a year old and become an excellent pup. We did need at home sessions with Craig but she took well to the training almost instantaneously. She is still a bit reactive in specific scenarios but is now under control. While we have had plenty of dogs in the past, this was our first Belgian and we’re glad we got professional help early…her drive, energy, and want to work are amazing but needed some guidance and control.

    I am very happy with the results of my Irish Doodle training, it is giving excellent results, apart from the classes having the opportunity of group meetings in the park and training there are being very helpful for him and form me too. I recommend 💯 this school.

    I would highly recommend Dog training Elite north Orlando! We worked with Craig the trainer and our 8year old pitty. Before training with them our dog was very reactive and mouthy when she would see other dogs wanting to play with them (we pretty much couldn’t take her anywhere) So we did the 1 on 1 home training first. & now She attends the group classes! She goes everywhere with us! She is so good on our walks & Listens very well! I will say it is a 2 sided road you Must also put in the work with your pup and be Consistent! So if you are on the fence about hiring them, go ahead and do it you won’t regret it!

    Again phenomenal experience with Maria! Could not be any happier with Bandit's progress. Can't wait to join in group classes!

    Had our first training session with Maria today and she handled our 100lb Rottweiler beautifully. She was able to analyze and understand his temperament, and explained how everything work beautifully and even threw in a bit of humor as well, because training your dog can be a stressful experience. It was just the first day but I’m glad we booked the lifetime package, because I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    We had an amazing experiencing with DTE ! Our golden (Remus) did the platinum program ( basic/advance obedience) to help prepare him for intro into service dog 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 best for you and your companion’s needs along with answering any/ all questions you may have . The trainers, Jaeden and Maria , are super helpful and offer great feedback on your companion and ways to help you and your dog succeed in their program! 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. We couldn’t be more proud and happy to be part of the DTE pack !!!

    Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria are excellent dog trainers. Upon meeting them you instantly know working with dogs is their passion. My little puggle, Maggie, is adorable but was a “hot mess” when it came to behavior. Maria worked with us in home and within a few lessens she was much better behaved. She loves people and didn’t understand that not everyone loves her, her jumping on people has stopped. The group walks in Winter Garden and obedience training in Phelps has helped further improve her listening and behavior. She’s learned how to behave around other dogs and people. I’m considering taking her training to the next level with their therapy dog training. I highly recommend this team for your dog training needs.

    Craig was amazing training our puppy but also training us! We would have never known all the tips and tricks to help our puppy without his help! Thank you so so much…our puppy is almost a year old and is off leash running with the kids and we are truly enjoying her more than I could have imagined with Craig’s help!!
