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.


  • Empowering Owners
    We empower Owners to train so their dog knows who to obey at all times.
  • Personalized
    We deal with problem behaviors on a personal basis.
  • Environment Specific
    We train wherever issues tend to arise (i.e. jogging, park, home).
  • Supportive
    We support Owners in the off-hours (when training is "not in session").
  • Involved
    We work with all members of the household.
  • Simplified & Customized
    We plan training around the owner's schedule and require only 20 min/day follow-up practice.
  • Continued Training
    Additional programs / group sessions offered after in-home training.
  • Lifetime Investment
    We follow up & are invested in the owner's success long-term.
  • Satisfaction Ratings
    Our high client satisfaction rating sets us apart from competitors.

Chelsea, Cheyenne and Maria are fantastic! They shared effective strategies to train our energetic dog. Marley's anxiety and whining were uncontrollable. For private dog training sessions they were very flexible and made themselves available to accommodate our limited availability. Our dog's behavior has significantly changed for the best after we enrolled him in the Dog Training Elite Orlando. We are extremely grateful. Highly recommend.

After more than six months looking for a school for my fur baby, Peaches, which I needed to be my Service Dog due to my conditions, I thank God for letting me find this amazing place with 3 exceptional trainers. From the beginning Chelsea (owner) was so helpful and diligent with me and my worries that I was excited waiting for my appointment. The moment I got to know Cheyenne (owner) and my assigned trainer, Maria, I told my husband, “Honey, I am hook with Dog Training Elite Orlando”. I have to say these Ladies know their business and after making my research the amount charge is so reasonable compared to so many out there, that for me, it was a win, win deal. I can not recommend enough these amazing women. Maria was Peaches direct trainer and she is the sweetest, understanding and in addition loves her work. I am so grateful for them and their understanding during a difficult period in my life and making possible for me to have my loving Peaches with me helping me coupe with my situations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! UPDATE I am so happy, because I was able to take Peaches with me to Magic Kingdom for the first time and it was a great experience. She behave awesome even with all the distractions. Thank you so much Dog Training Elite Orlando, does ladies are out of this world!

Obi and I have had an incredible experience with the Dog Training Elite Orlando program. Chelsea, Maria and Cheyenne are very knowledgeable, patient, and really helped us understand how to communicate effectively with our furry friend. Obi has made significant progress in his behavior and obedience, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend this training program to anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dog and see positive changes in their behavior. Thank you for all your help!

The program that Dog Training Elite is amazing. We wanted to have some training so that our dogs would be well behaved and listen in the house with our 2 girls. We also have the thought to have them certified as therapy dogs so if we want to volunteer at different facilities to bring the dogs we would be able to do so. They break down the training into easy sessions that are easy to understand (both for the dog and for us as owners). I feel like I am prepared to continue with training even after the program with the skills they have given me. We have only done our 1 on 1 in home sessions and have some group classes that we plan to attend over the summer to help further the training we have completed already. They are super easy to schedule and work with as well as great communicators!

I continue to have an outstanding experience with our trainer, Maria. Her training methods are effective, and the results speak for themselves. Communication throughout the process with Dog Training Elite is excellent. What truly sets them apart is the personal touch – my dog, Daisy, and I felt not just trained but genuinely cared for. I highly recommend this skilled and compassionate training school!

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria! They not only help you train your pup, but they ensure you understand the training & training tools as well. When I take my Roo on walks, she walks next to me and when she see people and/or other dogs are approaching, she no longer gets crazy excited (barking/whining/jumping). If I have company coming over & entering the house, she doesn’t bark instead sits in her “place” until everyone is inside and she hears her release word. These are just a couple examples of how training with Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria have help me and my Roo. If you are looking for a trainer, I’d HIGHLY recommend Dog Training Elite Orlando.

Love love love these trainers. The time and care they’ve spent working with me and Kaia is unlike any other I’ve seen before. My golden retriever puppy went from a crazy 10 week old puppy to a 10 month old getting ready for her service test coming up soon. I’m so grateful to them and their work as it’s made such a huge impact on my life.

I don't have enough good things to say about Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria. We have been training our Doberman mix to be a service dog and the expertise, care, and patience is why I love these ladies. They truly want the best for you and your dog. I will never hesitate to recommend them.

I truly cannot say enough good words about my experience with Dog Training Elite Orlando. As a first time German shepherd owner, I knew I needed trainers who were knowledgeable on the breed. I am truly grateful for my choice in trainers. They have been so supportive, understanding and so willing to help when it came to my Apollos reactivity. They truly never give up on their clients and are there for you if you have any questions or need help. Apollo has grown up into such wonderful boy and I truly believe it wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Chelsea, Cheyenne and Maria! It definitely is an investment both financially and time, but if you want a well behaved dog for the long run, I 100% recommend Dog Training Elite!

The trainers at DTE Orlando are FABULOUS! Not only are the trainers competent and know what they are doing, they care about you and your dogs. The trainers tailor the training program to your specific needs, and they make sure to hone skills. I have used DTE to train both of my dogs, and they are lifesavers! I wish I had found them sooner. DTE is wonderful!!

I can’t say enough about the training my dog Carina received from Maria. She was absolutely AMAZING. I honestly didn’t expect the results I got in my crazy 1 and half year old golden retriever Carina. She is the most loving girl, but had all the “typical” bad behavior you could think of. We can now enjoy wonderful, long walks where she stays easily by my side. No pulling at all and sometimes I forget she’s on a leash. No more jumping on people when they come through the door either. Carina is working hard on her obedience and I couldn’t be more proud of my girl! Thank you so much Maria and Elite Dog Training of Orlando. I can’t wait to bring Carina to her first group class! If you are considering dog training, I highly recommend !! Just do it, you won’t regret it.

I did extensive research for training for my German Shepherd Puppy. Originally, my goal was obedience and behaviors as she is a working dog. While I qualified for a service animal, I never thought it was possible for me to be a handler and financially able to afford it. From the beginning, Chelsea and Cheyenne at DTE Orlando set themselves apart from the other companies/trainers we interviewed. The main thing was how they explained that they train the dogs AND owners and support through out. I took a chance and was nervous, but after our first session with Maria as our trainer, a weight was lifted. Chelsea came to support and explain more while Maria took the time to build a bond with my then scared 10 week old puppy, Nala. I knew this was going to be a match. What I didn't realize is the full impact Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria would have on us. Nala passed obedience and we went on to advanced obedience, service training, training camp, and scent training. While the training is affordable and effective, this team brings so much more to the table that you don't find with other trainers and companies. I can never thank the three of them enough for their time, support, encouragement, patience, challenges, new adventure, and welcoming into a training "pack". The individual classes are catered to you and your pups individual needs, but the group classes are helpful with socializing, fine tuning skills, and working with others in the DTE "pack". Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria are there to support when you are struggling, but will also be the first ones to celebrate you. Nala and I have grown each individually and as a team together. We look forward to each class and session and pack walks. They make training fun and not overwhelming. We have been able to accomplish things that I never thought would be possible. (Nala met Mickey!) Having a service dog has positively impacted and changed my life for the better and none of that would have been possible without them. I am so thankful I chose DTE Orlando and this team and will never be able to thank them enough.

Chelsea and Cheyenne have been amazing with my golden retriever, Finn. He took to them immediately. They are patient with him and with me. They worked with my children as well to get them comfortable in helping to train Finn. They have gone above and beyond for us and I recommend them 1000%.

We love Dog Training Elite. We have a puppy who was a real handful. She was pulling on the leash, jumping on everyone and running around the house like a nut. Maria came to our home and everything changed for the better. Our puppy is now a year old and she is a joy. We cannot thank Maria and Chelsea enough. They were very professional we are all so much happier.
