Doberman Training in Treasure Coast / Port St. Lucie, FL

What an incredible program and staff. In 8 weeks our dog was totally transformed. The program is well structured and the team goes above and beyond to make it a great outcome for the dogs and their owners.

From the very beginning of puppy selection for our service dog, Dog Training Elite and their team has been helpful and compassionate. They love Dogs, but they also love our family!

I highly recommend this great company to train any kind of dog with any type of issue. They know exactly how to understand and produce change with your dog. I’ve training my dog for a service dog and after 10 months I can say that my dog is ready to perform the tasks that will help me to deal with my mental health issues. All this thanks to Dog Training Elite Treasure Coast / North PB County.

They were great.

DTE is amazing! We have noticed such an improvement with our dogs behavior in just two weeks. Their ability to follow basic commands to heeling (biggest improvement) is amazing. Looking forward to seeing other positive changes in our pups.

Our dog Coco was so well trained and treated well by all trainers and staff. Within one week Coco was easily following basic commands. We’re in week two of training and can’t wait to see how she does. I highly recommend this group to train your best friend!

Our trainer, Graham, was very patient, considerate, friendly and he taught us several ways to communicate and exercise our needs, and Shilo's needs, to move forward with his training.. I would highly recommend Elite Dog Training to anyone who needs help in learning the tools to make your dog successful in and out of your house!

I have a residence in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, we do not have Service Dog Trainers on our island. I was fortunate to find Elite Dog Training in Florida nests my other residence. My dog still plays and gives hugs. She is still a dog. The difference is that she is now a trained dog. We enjoy each other’s company more than ever. I was unable to take her on walks because she would pull me all over the place. She would jump on everyone she met. Now, after training at Elite , she is a well mannered dog. I can take her anywhere. I strongly recommend Elite for service dog training and obedience training. It will make a tremendous difference in your life and your dogs. Thank you to Shelly, Laura, Lauren, Kristin, and everyone else at Elite that worked so hard to get my dog trained. I am proud to say that she passed her Canine Good Citizen Test which is not an easy test to pass. I could not have done it without Elite. It was well worth my trips to Florida to get my dog trained!!

Dog Training Elite has been monumental in training our young rat terrier Wally and our chocolate lab puppy Ralphy. Graham and Shelly have put together and incredible staff to train up any breed of dog. The dogs love the facility and the group training held at 1 of 2 parks in the PSL area. We will keep bringing Wally to group classes and look forward to Ralphys further training as he learns not only basic obedience but eventually training to be my father’s service dog. We recommend DTE for anyone, any dog, any time.

Fantastic Jupiter group class today!!

Dog training elite goes above and beyond the competition. They don’t just make sure your dog is trained, they make sure YOU are trained on what you need to do to keep your dog learning and growing. The staff is all extremely friendly and personable, I highly recommend them for any type of training you are looking for for your dog.

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but Dog Training Elite has crushed that myth. When my pup’s noise aversion got to the point where we were unable to go on our morning walks, I was at a loss for what to do. DTE listened to my concerns and helped both me and my pup reframe our relationship so that she knows she can rely on me when she hears a startling sound. We’re back to walking every morning, and I have the tools I need to help redirect her focus when scary things happen.

Before I brought Milo into DTE, he was stubborn, defiant at times, and had episodes of aggression. I could not bring him places or to family events because his anxiety was so high; he would bark and howl, chase kids that were running and playing, pull on the leash when I tried to restrain him and overall, was extremely difficult to manage. He was the boss and his attitude reflected that. He would jump on the couch when he wasn't allowed and would climb on the kitchen table to get food. He would jump up on people to get their attention. He would listen only when it benefitted him (aka I had a treat). My final straw was when he attacked me twice in one night because I was sitting in "his spot". I found DTE and called them. They told me to go in for an assessment so I did. I loved how thorough the assessment was and how the trainers were using psychology to discuss Milo's behavioral plan. This was the first time I heard about boundaries and communication in regards to dogs and training; up until now it was always treat training or positive reinforcement. Milo then started his training and made significant improvements his first week. I took him to my parents house on Saturday where they were having a children's birthday party. There were about 75 people there, a bounce house, a pool, it was a lot of chaos. Milo genuinely shocked me. He didn't bark or whine, didn't pull on the leash, didn't try to get human food, didn't chase anyone. He went and placed when I told him to and sat quietly, he sat and stayed as I walked away to do something, he didn't jump up on anyone who came up to pet him, even my parents told me they saw a different dog. Then he went for his second week of training and started his group classes and the things he did I didn't even think was possible for him to do. He would walk by dogs without even looking at them, sat and stayed, placed, heeled, all things I had tried to teach him previously and practiced but it never stuck consistently because he would decide when he wanted to obey. I fully believe this is because DTE doesn't rely on treats and rewards, but principles rooted in psychology and connection. Milo learned boundaries and respect and developed obedience out of his love for me, not because I was holding a treat in my hand. He is still demonstrating consistent change. I highly recommend DTE because the impact is long-lasting and fundamentally changes your relationship with your dog. The staff is incredible in supporting you and helping you and they are all so knowledgeable. You can tell they care and are invested in you and your pup. Overall, I'm very grateful for DTE and how they went above and beyond for me and Milo. They’re the best!

Our experience with Dog Training Elite has been just what we and our dog needed. Everyone is so encouraging, knowledgeable, helpful with any concerns and questions. They focus on building a relationship between you and your dog. We attend 1-2 group training sessions a week to help keep us and Rio on task. Training definitely requires time and consistency but it really is worth it!

I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation and to highly recommend the outstanding services provided by Dog Training Elite. Our beautiful 10-month-old Giant Schnauzer, Mimi, began her training journey with them a few months ago, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. Initially, I had my doubts about whether Dog Training Elite could train Mimi to the level they described. Their promises seemed almost too good to be true, and I was skeptical about their ability to deliver. However, I am thrilled to say that they have far exceeded our expectations in every way. The dedication, hard work, and commitment of the Dog Training Elite team have been truly impressive. Mimi has been excelling in her training and is well on her way to becoming a Therapy Dog. The transformation we have seen in her behavior and skills is a testament to the exceptional training methods and the care provided by the team. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Shelly, Sam, Jessica, and the rest of the team at Dog Training Elite. Their professionalism, patience, and genuine love for the animals they work with are evident in everything they do. We cannot thank them enough for the positive impact they have had on our beloved Mimi. If you are considering training for your dog, I wholeheartedly recommend Dog Training Elite. Their services are truly outstanding, and they have made a significant difference in our lives and in Mimi's development. Thank you once again for your exceptional work. Vincent and May

We would highly recommend dog training Elite, the staff is caring and supportive for all of our needs .

I can’t say enough positive things about Dog Training Elite Treasure Coast! I have had many dogs in my life and I have worked with someone in NY, that is very well known, on tv and internet, but I have never had an experience like I have had with DTE treasure coast. The program they have just works. This is not a class that you show up once a week and go home to try to teach your dog, with very little support. With DTE Treasure Coast you are part of a community. Shelley and Graham have put together such an incredible, caring, dedicated group of trainers. They spend the time needed, using the amazing skills they have, to train your dog during boot camp and then they train you how to follow through on what they have taught your dog during there group classes. I have witnessed first hand dogs that once struggled around other dogs completely transformed and they now walk around in our group classes with the other dogs, I’ve seen them train dogs to pull wheelchairs, assist disabled vets, bring medications to their owners, and relax someone with anxiety or PTSD. They can truly help you to build whatever relationship you need with your dog. I can say that thanks to Graham, Shelley, Kristin, Clara, Jessica, Sam, Nate and Jorge, I have a relationship, a trust with my Toby that I have always wanted but never quite had with my other dogs, thanks to how well trained he is! We wouldn’t have that if it wasn’t for the love and support that we have received every step of the way from our DTE family. So, if you are looking for a service dog, a therapy dog or just a family pet that you can trust, reach out to them, you wont regret it. Toby gives his word🐾

I reached out to Dog Training Elite at a breaking point with my highly reactive golden retriever, Lucy. After speaking with multiple trainers in the area, it was clear that no one came close to the caliber of care, professionalism, and results offered by Graham, Shelley, and the organization they’ve built. From the start, they met both me and my dogs exactly where we were by offering a thoughtful, structured, and incredibly supportive approach. I chose to train two of my dogs simultaneously, and throughout the process, I’ve grown tremendously - not just as a pet owner, but as a person. Their training has given me deep insight into dog psychology, body language, patterns, and motivators, and more importantly, how to set my dogs up for long-term success. Graham and Shelley are everything you could hope for in trainers: patient, intelligent, highly perceptive, and deeply committed to both the dogs and their humans. They’ve spent countless hours refining my handling skills with clarity, kindness, and thorough explanation. A big part of why this program is so successful is they focus on teaching, rather than simply correcting, both pet & owner behavior. Beyond being a trainer, you can automatically sense they are genuinely amazing people who truly care about others. Lucy was aggressive and defensive the first time she met Graham, unwilling to let him near me or the house. Today, after months of working through her anxiety, she immediately greeted him with affection and excitement. It brought tears to my eyes as I feel like I have a totally different dog now. This huge shift was only made possible because of their work! If you’re searching for exceptional trainers who truly understand dogs and empower their owners, look no further. Dog Training Elite is the only choice.

If you are looking for a wonderful facility to have your dog properly training this is it!! Great staff very attentive we have now graduated to service dog training looking forward to the future we are very grateful 🙏

I love how easy it is to sign up for group classes and if we need to cancel a class it is just as easy to cancel also the instructors are so friendly and make you feel like you are family
