    Justin did a great job in our initial meeting. He explained what I could expect with Dog Training Elite and demonstrated with his dog some of the commands. I look forward to the training Sercy and I will receive in the months ahead.

    or whatever purpose you are contemplating for training your dog, Elite is the only place you need to look. From the beginning, Jackson made us, and our pup, feel safe, loved, and excited to work. Professionally, Jackson was always punctual, took proper time to help us understand the training philosophy and expectations, and really motivated us to work dilligently with our dog. He was with us the entire way through the Platinum dog training. Most recently, our pup has just completed his Service Dog PA test. He passed with 100% score because of Del’s efforts. Del was our trainer during this phase and will be throughout the remaining parts of the service dog training. Del has a deep understanding of the importance of a service dog and treats this process with the attentiveness and care that is necessary to this process. We are so grateful to have worked with these two guys though this process. The dog and our livelihood were always the top priority, and we will appreciate that forever. Please consider them for your pup’s journey.

    Dog Training Elite Asheville changed our life forever. We brought Sophie into our home at just 12 weeks with one goal in mind. For her to become my service dog. Little did I know that this journey would bring us to find Nicole and David. There is not enough words to describe this process with them. I am a first responder that suffered from severe PTSD and other health related problems. How was it going to be possible to continue doing the job I love? Well DTE walked us both through building confidence, trust, hope, resilience and most importantly public re-engagement. Being a first responder our schedules are always changing with short notice and DTE was able to accommodate us. More than just training Sophie, this team found a tough job of training me! It was not easy or pretty but one thing that I have learned is that "never disable but differently able." Sophie is now 3 years old and is thriving in her job. During our hardest time she has been right along side reminding us to appreciate even the little things. Sophie is not just a dog or a pet but a member of our family that has provided freedom. We are one team continuing to work on self-care and sharing the love for service animals. I encourage everyone to please call Dog Training Elite Asheville and begin your journey to living life to the fullest. Please remind yourself that regardless of any cost for training, your wellness is priceless. Use this training as a investment to a better life!

    Top 3 things I loved: 1) The experienced and knowledgeable trainers who really understood my dog’s needs, 2) Their patient, encouraging and supportive approach during every session, 3) The flexible private dog training options that felt like a personalized program. I was looking for dog training near me and found exactly what I needed. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville.

    Bella, our 6 month old Golden, was the Queen of the house. It was our fault for not being consistent and we needed help. Bella would take things off the counter and bring them to her bed. Not chewing them up, just holding for ransom, treat. She also would hold on to the back of my robe and not let go. Someone we meet had introduced us to Dog Training Elite located Upstate SC. We have completed one on one classes and group training for the week and now we meet once a week for more group training. Where you meet great people and their dogs. Bella is amazing. She craves commands and I can’t believe the change in her. I’ve had 9 dogs and this is our first training, I highly recommend these guys. They are all great. Thank you

    Worked on “come” today. Jesica did very well with the boys and us. We learned just how to initiate a learning process for a command.

    I highly recommend Brennan for dog training! I needed help with my new, very hyper puppy, and Brennan was a lifesaver. From the very first visit, he worked with him and I was honestly amazed—I barely recognized my own puppy! Brennan uses positive reinforcement methods that my dog responded to immediately. He learned new commands each visit, and I was given the tools to communicate effectively. The program is easy to follow, and now my puppy is well-behaved and loves spending time at the park. I highly recommend personalized training with this company to build a lifelong bond with your pet!

    Jocy is amazing! Nothing more to say. She’s been wonderful and she’s helped me a lot! She is very knowledgable. Our bulldog is very dog reactive but Jocy has helped us so much it’s definitely improving every day and we are grateful

    Had a great evaluation with Alaina this afternoon. She gave us great in-site on our German Shepard. She also gave us a great proposal for training. I would highly recommend this group for your training needs.

    Dog Training Elite West Michigan has been transformational for our family! We've been working with Carrie for a few months to take our two Ausiedoodles to the next level. They had a solid training foundation going into it, and Carrie met us where we were at, spending time developing in the areas they most needed. Our dogs are more confident and relaxed, and so are we! Would definitely recommend Carrie to anyone wanting to make fast progress with their dog training goals.

    I would direct anyone with a new dog or puppy to this company! Hailey was awesome- she was professional, accommodating and was able to help our family train and turn our young puppy into a well-behaved service dog! Cannot extend enough appreciation to Hailey!

    We loved our training experience! Our dachshund pup has learned so much in a short period of time. Kyle, our trainer, was top notch and truly helped our family understand how to think like a dog and communicate with her effectively to get the results we were looking for at home and in public. Highly recommend!!

    Scott has been a great trainer to work with and is willing to take the time to work through things to help me get it right when I work with Toby. I have noticed an overall improvement and feel more confident on the work I am doing between sessions.
