Destructive Chewing and Digging Training in Phoenix, AZ

Destructive chewing and digging can cause serious damage to your home and yard. At Dog Training Elite, we tackle these behaviors by identifying their root causes, such as boredom, anxiety, or lack of boundaries. Our goal is to provide lasting solutions that prevent further damage and create a more peaceful environment for you and your dog.

Our destructive chewing and digging training in Phoenix, AZ focuses on structured activities and consistent discipline to redirect your dog’s energy. We implement strategies like interactive toys and planned play sessions to keep your dog engaged, reducing the temptation to chew or dig. Clear boundaries and regular routines will help your dog understand acceptable behaviors.

We also consider environmental factors that may contribute to these destructive habits. Dogs often act out when they lack a designated space or feel stressed. By helping you establish a structured environment—whether through crate training or creating specific play areas—we reduce the triggers for chewing and digging.

If you're ready to stop the damage and regain control, contact us today to create a customized plan.

    We're 3 weeks in and we had results from the very first session. Azure understood our dog so quickly and she's taught us things about our dog and dogs in general that have gone above beyond my expectations of what we'd be learning. I love how she talks about and to our dog. I also love how she does the initial training each week, tweaks it where needed, repeats it many time, then coaches us through it. This is so worth the investment!!!

    We are in to our 3rd week......so far everyone has been very pleasant to work with....our 5month old puppy will not be the easiest to train however he's doing good for 3 lesson sessions. The training is equal for my husband and me along with our pup Norman. It is hard work but I think well worth it.

    Exceptional experience with Dog Training Elite! The team has been absolutely amazing helping me train my Belgian Malinois, Sandy. From the very first session, they’ve been professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable — and it shows in Sandy’s progress. She just graduated and earned her invite to the group obedience classes, and she’s now advancing toward her Personal Protection Level 2 training! What I really love is that the trainers come to my home each week and always work around my schedule. They’re easy to work with, reliable, and genuinely care about Sandy and me. Every session is productive, positive, and fun — Sandy can’t wait to see them each time. Yes, the training isn’t cheap — but as the saying goes, cheap ain’t good and good ain’t cheap. The results and peace of mind I’ve gotten are absolutely worth it. If you want true professionals who deliver results and help you build an amazing bond with your dog, Dog Training Elite is the real deal. 🐾

    They have the perfect program for my dog who is a pitti/german/mutt mix. They train you and your dog. My dog responded quickly and we saw changes in his behavior within 2 weeks.

    Dog training elite has given us the guidance for our Doberman puppy to be a well trained dog. They are available, helpful and are very professional. I would recommend them to anyone who needs puppy or dog training.

    We were so frustrated with our rescue-puppy that we were at wit’s end. Within the first week of training, we could tell a difference. It takes practice but we’re all learning and Kobe is so much more enjoyable. It is expensive, but worth the investment.

    I’ve only had a few lessons but the progress I’ve seen in my 9 month old Anatolian Shepherd has been awesome! Money well spent!

    We just started our dog training for our mini labradoodle . We have had 3 training sessions so far with Azure and Karen. Azure did our first session and provided a lot of good info to get us started. Karen packed so much into our second session. In between sessions someone is always available to answer questions. We are so excited to see our Cooper progress through the trainings.

    This place is excellent for dog training. It made a huge difference for us, we were at the end of our rope with a rescue from county who had a lot of behavioral issues. We did not know what to do and were desperate for a solution. Karen was our trainer and she was the absolute best. She was so good with our dog and the training. We could not have hoped for a better experience, it solved all of our problems. We have recommended Karen to anyone we know that is looking into dog training. 100% worth the money. Would do it again no question.

    Love the training. The trainers are patient, experienced, and appear to really care about both the client person and the client dog. Gave a 4 because of the cost and only two levels to choose from.

    If you are looking for top notch training for your dog I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They understand behavior and train in a method that is rewarding for both your dog and the owner/trainer. Training can be stressful and the trainers understand that and are responsive to both the need of the dog and the trainer so that it is an enriching and rewarding experience for your dog and for you.

    Jaxon has turned his attitude around thanks to Alexa! She helps us and him with his training and we now feel confident taking him in public settings. Not only does Dog Training Elite help with obedience training, but also with off leash, aggression and reactivity! I would definitely recommend them for your pet!

    Our 4 month old German Shepherd has improved since working with Dog Training Elite. We look forward to further improvement with working with Alexa. She’s good with our puppy Sammy.

    I have been very happy with their training! I feel capable and able to help my dog be successful and confident in what I’m asking her to do. Great people to work with. Highly recommend them.

    These trainers are masters at their craft! With their techniques and training our dog enjoys more freedom and the ability to go camping, hiking or whatever adventure comes our way.

    Karen & Neil rock at everything. Jax went from zero to hero quickly. I've paid thousands elsewhere with little results. :( Dog Training Elite is the STANDARD of dog training. The real deal. Jax is doing amazing and will continue to be a customer for life.

    This was a pricey one, but our dog needed help and this was the right place for the job. Our dog was quite reactive when people came over to our house. He really didn't like it and he would act aggressive, to the point where having someone watch him or even just having house guests over was a major ordeal. We went for the platinum package and overall the experience has been great. We've had private lessons with experienced dog trainers, they gave us the tools we need to keep our dog in check. Our dog is happier than ever and more confident, he's begun to play with our other dogs and more importantly we can have guests over without him losing his mind, he still doesn't like them but now we can get him to sit on his bed and calm down much more quickly. He gets over the guests being there and we can have a more normal life. Furthermore we had someone watch him when we went out of town for a few days (someone he's really not familiar with) and we had no issues. This was worth every penny, we got our lives back and his life is better. We're nearing the end of our private lessons but we have lifetime access to group lessons where he can continue to learn and grow. I would recommend dog training elite to anyone with a dog who needs training, and in fact I have recommended them to family.

    Dog Training Elite is all you need for the dog of your dreams. I have been working with Neal and his staff for 4 months now and I am blown away by how much we’ve accomplished in such a short time. My gorgeous Akita was very well trained by me in obedience but I wanted him to learn protection and socialization. I cannot recommend Neal and his team enough!!! Neal is the real deal!! If you want the dog you see in the movies then all you need to do is call Dog Training Elite.
