If you are searching for a responsible dog trainer for your pitbull, you have come to the right place. Dog Training Elite is highly experienced with the strong, loyal breeds recognized as "pit bulls." Whether you have an American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier or another bull-type dog breed, we can help you harness the power of these incredible animals. Our puppy, obedience and personal protection programs are perfect for these breeds and can shape your beloved Pitbull into a loyal, well-behaved companion.
Though their history of bull-baiting and fighting is sad, the Pitbull we know today is a refreshing change from the ferocious breeds of the past. More than a century of responsible breeding since the outlawing of dog blood sports in England has developed bull-type breeds that are strong and stocky yet kind-hearted, loving and fiercely loyal. The American Staffordshire Terrier is one of America's most popular breeds and is well-known for his outgoing personality and energetic playfulness. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are known for their loving mood and tenderness with children. While Pitbull temperament has taken a turn for the better, these breeds do have a history of aggression and must be trained probably. Our dog trainers are highly experienced in harnessing the power of Pitbulls and helping owners build safe and loyal relationships with their dogs.
Our Pitbull Training Program
Tall, stocky, and muscular, Pitbulls are impressive dogs. Their hallmark look features a large head with big, sweet eyes and prominent jaws. With responsible training, Pitbulls make both excellent family companions and personal protection animals. Our talented dog trainers can help you harness the power of this breed into an intelligent and safe watchdog.
Our Pitbull training program will cover the following commands and training milestones:
- Crate training and house breaking
- Socialization, dog-play etiquette
- Problem behavior correction
- Aggression and temperament control
- Heel and leash etiquette
- Basic obedience commands like come, sit, stay, place and more
Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

They are absolutely the best. My German Shepherd puppy was a real demon when he first went in, and they were able to transform him into a wonderful service pet that is well behaved and listens. They truly know their craft, and I absolutely recommend them. You’ll begin to see the difference right away and your dog.— Rodolfo Franco

We brought our German Shepherd puppy to Dog Training Elite and couldn't be happier. We had Geneva as our trainer who is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and made sure we knew what we needed to work on as well. We saw results after the first day too.— Shannon Sixkiller

if you are looking for a miracle like we were Dog Training Elite is the place to go-they changed our life for the better!! Geneva is so on top of communicating and telling you honestly how your dog is doing. you get videos and pictures of what your dog is doing everyday. I felt so safe leaving my doggo in their hands. You can have personal time with the trainer and your dog so you know exactly what your dog is learning and how you can keep up the work at home. Dog Training Elite has the best staff, i felt comfortable talking to everyone there because they are so kind and you can tell they have you and your dogs best interest in mind. TAKE YOUR DOG TO DTE!!!! we love everything about them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone who is wanting to get their dog trained :)— Megan Nichols

Fantastic trainers and proven methodology. We have a 1 1/2 year old 80 lbs Sheepadoodle. Within about 6 weeks, he changed from a leash-puller to a full on off leash dog. We hike and run with him off leash and enjoy walking with him a lot more (I climbed a 14er Mountain with him yesterday fully off leash). Life changing for us. Highly recommend.— Arun Sundar

I was really nervous about finding a good company to train my sons service dog & spent months researching. Dog Training Elite was the only one I found that would do at home training. I'm a hands on/observe learner. It was so great to have Melanie & Salena come to my home, show me exactly what to do, & practiced with me until I felt comfortable. They explained the process & answered my questions with kindness. They were always right on time & eager to work with us. They also worked really well with Drake. I feel he did so much better being at his home with me for his basic training. They also answered emails/texts within the same day. They worked well with me to figure out a plan that would work best based on my sons special needs/disability. Drake has now graduated from his basic training & we're excited to start group trainings. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite if you want convenient & professional dog training no matter what services you are looking for.— Rose Carter

Dog training Elite has been awesome for our family. Our dog Koa has been going since he was 9 weeks old. Koa has learned so much and grown so much because of their training. We can’t wait to see our pup graduate into a service dog. They are flexible with our schedules and work with us even though we live about an hour and a half south. They have been amazing.— Brittany Lay

Dog Training Elite was a great decision for us. We have a pitbull mix named Luna and went with the Platinum package. We just finished our 7 private sessions! Jeff has been wonderful with training. A true professional and GREAT at training. Does the job and does it well. We are super happy with Evan too and are confident that all Dog Elite trainers have the experience and skill! Luna is ready for Group lessons and we can’t wait to see her progress in the coming months!— Kristen McGee

My wife decided to surprise me by bringing home three Malinois Puppies. I called Dog Elite Training Because I quickly got overwhelmed with these high-energy dogs. Can you imagine how crazy it was for me, a simple dog owner, trying to train 3 Malinois puppies? Dog Elite came to my rescue. Lexi, the trainor, has been amazing with the Malys. They are so much more obedient. They respond to my commands. It’s amazing. Everyone who meets our dogs are so impressed.— Joseph Vijungco

DTE is the only training method that has worked with my 1.5 year old stubborn lab. It has brought order back to our house and made her an all around better pup. The team is professional and knowledgable, I would recommend them to anyone!— Laura Bickel

Had a great experience with DTE! I was a little skeptical of the method at first, but we stuck to the program and did the homework as instructed. We are lightyears away from where we started with our dog in just 2 short months. Looking forward to the group trainings to get us to our end goal.— Cole Harte

Jason helped me with my 2 Dogs. I have a Pit mix that was reactive and is now no longer reactive and does great off leash, along with a Hound mix that was near impossible to get to listen to simple commands that now can be off leash and listens very well.— Rick M

The basic obedience camp was 1000% worth the money and time. My golden doodle is basically a completely different dog. Erin (the trainer) was so kind, patient and let me pick her brain about more training tips after the camp was finished. Would do this again in a heartbeat!— Hollie Steed

These same traits also make pitbull ownership an incredible responsibility, however, and professional pitbull dog training is a must. Dog Training Elite is experienced with this breed and can help you foster a positive pet-owner relationship. Contact us today for more information.
