About Us

Our Team

Craig Fizer - Owner & Trainer
Craig Fizer
Owner & Trainer

Craig's love for working with dogs began as an early age, appreciating the positive impacts they have on improving people's lives. He takes pride in teaching clients how to connect with their dogs on deeper levels, enabling them to strengthen their bond. Craig's career experiences span Software Engineering with a large corporation and VP for a small construction company- where he developed a passion for providing high levels of customer service and problem-solving skills.

Ready for a new path, aspiring to work with animals as a career, he was introduced to Dog Training Elite, in Utah. Once he learned about their over 40 of experience, highly effective training methods and commitment to serving the community, Craig found his new venture. He's excited to bring a new standard of Elite dog training to Central Florida. In addition to the opportunity to give back to the community through DTE's partnership with the Malinois Foundation-training service animals for people in need.

When he's not training dogs, he enjoys spending time with his 3 children and 2 dogs-Sadie (Labradoodle) Murphy(GSP). As a Florida native, he appreciates the great outdoors- golfing, boating, paddle boarding, hiking and coaching youth sports.

He looks forward to meeting you and your canine companion!

    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!

    Craig is an excellent professional. He has helped my puppy in many ways and a lot of patience. Couldn’t recommend a better trainer.

    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!

    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!!

    I was at my wits end when my stepdaughter recommended Craig, who she knows from high school days. We have a Morkie; now 7 months old. Hired a trainer initially to teach the basics of sit, stay, come. When our Lily started showing signs of aggression, disobedience and so on; we knew we needed something more. I was truly ready to send her back to the breeder Along came Craig and he convinced me that we would have a new dog before it was over with. I could not be happier with the results. Lily has come such a long way and other than a few tweaks, we see a new puppy really; just what we wanted. He is amazing and patient and made the whole process fun. So knowledgeable and intuitive. I would highly recommend him. Dog Training Elite North Orlando should be your next call if you need help with your furry friend. Thanks Craig!

    I have a dalmation puppy and needed help in training her. Someone else in my neighborhood had used Elite and Craig in training her dog and recommended him. I’m so glad she did!! They do the training by coming to your home and training in your environment. Also they do group classes every week. It is great for socializing hour dog and practicing with their instruction. They also have pack walks which gets your dog in other environments which is great. I would highly recommend Craig and Elite Dog Training!!

    I highly recommend Dog Training Elite in Orlando. Craig Fizer and his team have been outstanding in providing guidance with training, and instilling confidence in me and my three year old German Shepherd dog. She had some basic obedience training as a puppy, but due to a heart problem, and lots of down time and hospitals, she had very little training or socialization for most of her life. She became highly reactive to other dogs. After a few personal sessions for obedience at our home, Craig started introducing her to other dogs, and showing me how to manage situations. Everything is gradual and controlled, and she is now participating in group sessions and pack walks. She gains more confidence with each session. I am very happy with the results we are achieving. It’s been a great experience.

    We’re so grateful for the help we received from Craig as we prepared our dog for the arrival of our baby girl! Our pup had been struggling with barking and some anxiety, but with Craig’s guidance, we saw a huge improvement. Not only is he barking less, but he has also picked up new commands (like “quiet”) and seems so much more relaxed and happy overall. The training was gentle, clear, and tailored to our family’s needs—and it gave us so much peace of mind going into this big life change. Highly recommend!

    Craig was instrumental in helping us train our Goldendoodle puppy, Tally. He is patient and easy to work with. Dog Training Elite North Orlando has a great program and Tally is well behaved after going through training. She loves the group training in the park and we enjoy taking her with us to places now that she has manners. We highly recommend Craig and Dog Training Elite North Orlando.
