    Danielle has been terrific to work with! The in house visits were super helpful for our dog in calming his reactivity and now the group meet ups are great reinforcement for our dog (and us). Highly recommend!

    We had the best experience with Dog Training Elite training our Australian Shepherd, Remi, to be my service dog! Training class material was very easy to understand by our trainer which made days in between meeting with the trainer much easier being able to understand exactly what we had to do with Remi and the more we did between classes the faster we made it through our course including group classes which are very well organized and easy to follow instruction! Would highly recommend whether you’re looking for just obedience training or want to train a dog to work, these guys are amazing!

    Working with Danielle and Dog Training Elite has been amazing. She has been working with our dog Augie who is being trained as a Diabetic Alert to support our 12 year old daughter who is a type 1 diabetic. Steadfast with encouragement, Danielle has shown great patience with our young daughter and very energetic golden retriever puppy while also keeping us on track with clear and direct instruction. We are very grateful to the time we have invested with England Dog Training Elite and would recommend them to anyone!

    We reached out to Danielle after our dog had some severe changes in behavior, he is a rescue and showed signs of anxiety and mistrust. Working with Danielle and Shelby has absolutely changed our lives for the better. Our dog Max has made strides in his behavior, reactivity, social interactions, trust and obedience. We are complimented so often on how well behaved he is. He has learned to trust us and others. He became very weary of other people, and this weekend he was around so many people in different environments and was so happy to be there and be with others. His reactivity and leash manners are so great from group classes. He no longer barks when others walk into a room, when theres a noise in another room, or when someone walks down the stairs. I was so hesitant to use an E-collar for Max, but it has truly changed our lives, and I learned I was truly misinformed on how E-collars worked. To top it all off, Max wouldn't let shelby pet him at the start of training, and now months later he gladly welcomes her for pets. Its been worth every penny to watch our Maxxy thrive! We are not at the end of our training journey, we will always work with him on new skills and confidence boosters, but having Danielle and Shelby has been great.

    After searching for a dog trainer I came upon Dog Training Elite. Danielle returned my call promptly, answered all my questions, was incredibly patient and easy to talk to. I have a toy poodle named Blu that tends to react to people and other dogs. We attended our first group class and Blu did amazing. I was very impressed with how organized the class was and supportive everyone there was. Don’t hesitate, call Danielle! You will not be disappointed!

    Great program! The instructions provided excellent one-on-one training that really helped me learn how to work with my dog. And the group classes are a great way to reinforce what was learned.

    Our dog Daisy went through training with Danielle and I can’t begin to describe how much I would recommend E Collar training to others. She is now ready for anything that could come her way and the peace of mind that we have when taking her on different adventures is all we could have hoped for from training and more. Her recall, obedience, patience and more are all beyond her years and it’s very much thanks to Danielle and her skills as a trainer. Daisy gets so excited when we take her E Collar out to put on because she knows it’s time for an adventure, car ride, walk, or even just some errands she can join in on! Thank you Danielle + Dog Training Elite!

    Highly recommend Dog Training Elite RI! Danielle has been fantastic to work with, and our dogs absolutely love her. Our puppy has transformed with this structured training and benefits so much from the group classes. Before starting training he was so reactive to other dogs and would pull to try and go meet them, and now he’s much more balanced and understands how to behave neutrally around other dogs. I never imagined he could sit quietly just a few feet from a whole group of other dogs in class while we all practiced training exercises. If you listen to Danielle’s instructions, and stay consistent with training and coming to class, then you will see results in no time.

    I can’t say enough great things about Dog Training Elite of Rhode Island! Danielle has been an incredible trainer and gave me all the tools, guidance, and resources I needed to work with my dog, Austin. Thanks to her training, Austin has gained so much confidence, improved obedience, and developed a stronger bond with me. He’s now well-behaved both at home and in public, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Danielle and Dog Training Elite to anyone looking to transform their dog’s behavior and relationship!

    Danielle has been a joy to work with! Kind, understanding to my dog and me. My dog, Frannie, wants to impress because when she does well, Danielle awards with praise and love. Instructional, clear concise direction. I was very nervous to attend my first group session; Danielle managed a group of anxious owners and some reactive dogs (mine can be!) beautifully. I look forward to remaining group sessions! Worth every penny!

    Working with Danielle at Dog Training Elite Rhode Island has been life-changing for me and Callie. Callie had some training before, but with Danielle things finally started to make sense and move forward consistently. The biggest difference has been the confidence Danielle gave me to guide Callie and really be part of her success. I’m so grateful we found her—if you’re committed and want real results, she’s the one to call!

    Harper( my one year old Lab) and I are having the best experience! She has a tendency to be over excited about people and dogs. Danielle has helped us be better citizens. We had our first group lesson and I couldn’t be more pleased with our work. Harper thinks Danielle is marvelous and so do I. I think my relationship with Harper is so much better. When I was looking at training for Harper and me, I did a ton of research and Dog Training Elite kept coming up and I’m so happy to have found them and Danielle.

    We hired Danielle to help us train our 1 y/o GSD, specifically with her fear reactivity towards other dogs. Danielle was very nice and professional right off the bat and quickly called me to set up an appointment once I had inquired. She came to our house and evaluated Olive and we started training a week later. Since Olive was already pretty familiar with obedience, we mainly focused on her staying calm in situations where other dogs may be present. Today we had our first group class with 16 other dogs and their owners. I was nervous to say the least but Olive did great and her reactivity was kept at a minimum! This is only the beginning, as Olive still has a long way to go but we are impressed with her progress thus far and we are excited for the classes to come. We would definitely recommend Danielle to others!

    Like so many others we have had an incredible life changing experience with Danielle. We moved from TN where we lived in a rural area into the city of Providence where there are a ton of dogs and Bean would lunge and bark at everyone and everything that moved. I was so anxious every time I had to take her out. Within two lessons I started feeling more confident in her and she started feeling more confident in herself. Danielle was so reassuring that she would get where she needed to be and even though an ecollar was a part of training she really emphasized praise which Bean really responds to. I love seeing her so proud of herself on our walk down Blackstone (a place we could have never gone before training). We graduated from private classes last week and had our first group class today (and I do mean we because I think I needed to learn more than Bean). Danielle prepped us well that she might struggle in the group at first but to stay the course and by the end of class she was in a down position with dogs 5 feet away from her on a loose leash. I could not have dreamed she would be where she is when we started. Truly so thankful for Danielle and would highly recommend her as a trainer!!

    Danielle is a great trainer. She worked with my dog one-on-one for several sessions at my home and even brought her dogs to work with my dog on a couple of days, which was very helpful. My pup graduated to group classes today, which is exciting. So far, the program has been beneficial, and I would recommend using Dog Training Elite.

    Danielle has been a life changer! Our Stellina a rescue came with many behavior issues. We experienced two other trainers prior Danielle and we were loosing hope. With our one on one training with Danielle and attending the group sessions Stellina has changed significantly. Danielle's expertise can make a difference for you and your furry friend as well!!!
