Before training, our year and a half old frenchie was reactive and had no manners! Safe to say he was running our house. After the first session, we noticed a HUGE shift in his behavior! Now that we are 4 sessions in, he is more confident, less reactive and respects us. It’s been amazing to see his progression! We highly recommend Josephine Grace with Dog Training Elite Palm Beach County! It has changed our household.

We are about 5 lessons in with Josephine and our 8 month old puppy. We are so impressed with what Buddy/we have learned. Practice is the key, and they give you all the tools you need to have a happy, well-balanced dog.

I’m so grateful for the help and insight Josephine provided for my dog. Before my Nailah enrolled in Dog Training Elite, she was a cute and fluffy little menace. After training with Josephine, she is a totally different dog! Not only do Josephine train Nailah, she lovingly trained us as well. I’ve learned so much from here that I never even considered before. Nailah is still cute and fluffy but she is also a beloved member of the family. She’s stopped nipping us and counter surfing. She’s stopped her incessant barking and pulling us during walks. If you’re considering this program-do it. You will have a well behaved companion if you stick with Josephine!

We had struggled with our dogs behaviors and patience for years, but we never reached out looking for a professional training program. Josephine worked wonders with our three pups with noticeable improvements in their obedience, socialization, consistency, and behavioral issues. The pulling, barking, and aggression all were handled. I would highly recommend this training to anyone with even a sight curiosity of dog training improvement!

Amazing! OMG, I can’t believe this is the same dog! Chaos had such a successful training session today. He stays in his “place” even when he’s in a public place with distractions and people and other dogs. He is calm. He listens. He is so much less “reactive”. The change in this dog is really incredible. I am finally starting to trust him after our private training sessions. Now I can’t wait to start taking him to the group classes for socializing. There is hope for this previously out of control German shepherd!!!! A huge THANK YOU to our trainer, Josephine Grace, for helping make our problem “beast” into a calmer and more manageable dog.
Daniel Israel

Chaos is definitely calming down. And he’s a different German Shepherd than back when we started the training! He’s very smart and learns quickly. Elite dog training has given us some excellent methods for controlling his behavior

Josephine is amazing! We started working with her when our boy Benny was just six months old. He was a rescue and the unknown carried with the “pit mix” name was something we took very seriously. Not only was she reassuring that she would help us create a happy environment for our three boys but also to made sure that Benny stayed safe and happy! Together we researched his breed and learned about his temperament as we navigated his training. She was so helpful, reassuring, and answered any call or text whenever we had questions! A year later, Benny is still training with Josephine and continues to amaze us with not only how smart he is, but how loving and sweet he is to any and all that meet him! We had an instance a few weeks ago that left me with some questions. As soon as I texted Josephine, she called me a few minutes later and helped me solve the issue and connected me to other great resources! Her wealth of knowledge is priceless! We highly recommend Josephine and her team for dog training (and human training)!

Josephine has been absolutely fantastic to work with! She has given us the tools to help our dogs become the best versions of themselves. The difference in just 4 sessions has been night and day for these dogs, we love practicing and working with them every day to get better. Our dogs were very reactive on leash and now family walks are much more enjoyable! Highly recommend taking the time and effort to work with her, she is wonderful!

My daughter has a pure bred Corgi. She recently moved into a condo. She brought her dog to live there. She constantly barked The dog was not going to able to stay there. The dog is currently staying at our house. We decided to get a trainer She had several issues. She constantly barked, She jumped on anyone who came into the house and she was aggressive towards other dogs when she was being walked even though she likes other dogs We called and met with Josephine. We decided to give a try. She is making progress we did not think was possible. We have not finished the training but we are happy with the results so far. She still has a ways to go but we think she will continue to make progress and that will be able to live with our daughter. Josephine is very kind and patient and she knows what she is doing.

Josephine is an awesome dog trainer. She is very easy going and really knows how to not only communicate with our dog, but even more important with the owners. Throughout the process, she’s not only teaching the dog what to do but teaching the dogs owners how to continue the training process, which is probably the most important part of this journey. Our 22 month old Bernadoodle has really progressed amazingly well over just 4 or 5-1 hour sessions. We have also put in the work necessary to make this successful and are constantly hearing comments about how well-behaved our puppy is. I highly recommend Josephine and Dog training elite to anyone Who has not made the commitment to train and learn the follow up for having a well-trained dog

We got a rescue puppy who ended up being a completely different mix than we thought. We thought he was a small breed but ended up being a German Shepard/boarder collie mix and was timid and aggressive with age. I was feeling completely helpless and really didn’t think we could keep him but I wanted to try one more thing. Josephine came to our house and as much as she taught him, she taught me more. He gained respect for my authority and I gained control. I no longer have any fears from him! We have had parties with 20 people, multiple different dogs in and out of the house, doors left open and more. We are now confident he can be a part of our family forever. ❤️

Great so far, lots of progress with my German Shepherd. Excited to see how this develops going forward.

I can’t say enough about Josephine, Gracie and Dottie! Josephine is helping us with our two little pups that we adopted during Covid. They are loving little guys, but were totally out of control whenever company came over or someone came to the door. So much so, that we would have to put them in a bedroom just to open the front door ! They were over excited to greet guests, jumping , barking for attention - absolute chaos! With Josephine’s help - we are able to control them so much better and they are more relaxed when company is over. They are definitely a work in progress, but in a short few weeks we have seen such an improvement in both of them !! I highly recommend Josephine for your dog training needs - you won’t be disappointed!

We have Cavaliers. Both reactive and one in particular, a large male, demanding and at times quite annoying. That was before a chance meeting with Josephine and her dogs Gracie and Dottie at the Wellington Amphitheater, after which we signed both Cavs up for training with Elite. After a few weeks with Josephine there is a marked difference in obedience and behavior allowing us more freedom to enjoy our pups. In the past we could not walk them if other dogs were around as they wound act like the hounds from hell. Now they pay attention to us and can remain calm which was the number one goal we had with the training. Importantly, the training is probably as much training us as it is our Cavs, but together we have learned how to drastically improve our dog owning experience, keeping all the good that comes with it and filtering out the bad. Josephine has the tools, techniques and knowledge that made it happen. We did not believe it could. But it did! Thank you.

Josephine is just the sweetest! She has done amazing work with our dogs and we are so grateful. We have 3 rambunctious pups (different sizes and different breeds) who don’t normally warm up to people quickly but they felt right at ease with Josephine. She treats them as if they are her own and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Everyone should sign up with Josephine! 😊

I was very nervous but Josephine explained everything and I was much calmer. She was able to work with me when we had to individualize my beagle's training regimen. Thank you!

Josephine has done a great job in helping us train Dolly.. She is patient, soft spoken but provides us with the tools and lesson plans to train our puppy.. Walking was incredibly difficult with Dolly pulling and barking at other dogs and bikers… After one lesson, she is heeling, not barking or pulling !!

Josephine is a great trainer. She really connects with the dogs and teaches you how to do the same. I loved the convenience of having her come to us for weekly appointments. She is extremely knowledgable and patient. Unfortunately we had to head back up north and could not spend more time or join a group. Thank you! Danielle and Leroy Brown

We have a golden retriever. 4 years old. We had behavioral issues with her. She would pull on the leash and go after bicycles ect. My wife called the dog trainer to train our dog to correct the issues. We bought her best program and she met with us weekly . She sits, lays, heals, and comes to me on comand. Also she can stay in place when people come over instead of jumping all over them. We are now educated in what to do going forward and will continue to use her expertise in the future.

I've been working with Josephine on training my Shih-poo Louis. He was very willful when we started, pulling on the leash when we went for walks and barking incessantly when he heard the doorbell or any noise outside. He's gotten much better with the pulling and although he will still start barking when he heard a noise, he'll quite down when I tell him to stop. I'm very pleased with the progress he's made. Highly recommend if you have a dog with annoying or troublesome behaviors.
