    Rhett with Dog training Elite in Knoxville is great at breaking steps down, advocating for the client and the doggy, and great at boosting confidence. I had a bad run with a positive only trainer who didn't know what to do with an anxious dog and on top of that they weren't positive only with humans and totaled my confidence. Rhett came in and raised my confidence back and has helped my dog become more confident. I can wait to see what the 8wks has in store.

    Payton has been amazing to work with! We’ve completed 11 of our 12 one-on-one training sessions, and within just two months, our 5.5-month-old Goldendoodle, Cooper, became service dog certified. What I appreciated most was how much confidence she built in both Cooper and me throughout the process. From training in busy downtown environments to feeling comfortable dropping his leash in high-traffic public areas, Payton was there every step of the way with guidance, encouragement, and expertise. She doesn’t just train your dog…she teaches you how to be a confident handler too! I love that she gave me the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing Cooper’s training at home, even when she wasn’t there. Thank you so much Payton!

    Choosing to train here was the best decision I ever made for my dog. Although, he started late, it didn’t matter because he still picked it up and changed! Joe and Marlene made training so fun and educational. I love how I was involved with everything and learned just as much as my dog did.

    Life savers. Everyone I’ve spoken with and I have had a training session with has been incredible, and knows exactly what is best for my dog. I am not even done with all my sessions and my dog has already become so well trained. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

    We've had a great experience with Carrie! She is very knowledgeable and great at what she does. My dog is a very stubborn bull terrier that I've had trouble training and communicating with. All of my other dogs when told to jump would ask "how high?" while my current dog instead asks "why?". Carrie has helped to decode Stevie's language and get through to her in a way she understands. Much of our lessons have been spent training ME rather than the dog and its really working. I've seen incredible progress in only 3 lessons and look forward to continued training.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Austin was amazing to work with! His guidance, patience, and expertise helped Zeke successfully become a therapy dog.

    When we picked up our Aussie, he was doing a obstacle course like it was nothing. He is learning so much and so am I. Can't wait to see what happens next week.

    I highly recommend this training for your dog. We had Taylor work with me and my daughter's dog. He is knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Even though my daughter is skilled in training dogs and had already trained our dog for agility tricks and service work, we wanted to find another effective approach to help tweak some minor obedience issues. Taylor's approach and methods are solid and work well. Be willing to learn and work with your dog as Taylor shows you a better way to manage and teach your dog effectively. It makes life with your dog soooo much more enjoyable and easier and will improve your relationship with your dog forever.
