Dog Training Elite provides a wide variety of k9 training services in Raleigh / Cary. With both private, in-home training and group-classes and a wide variety of training programs, we have something for everyone (and every k9). As the leading provider in dog obedience training services in Raleigh / Cary, we guarantee successful k9 basic command training and positive k9 behavior.

Our training method is based on classical conditioning which utilizes positive reinforcement to develop automatic reflexes to certain commands. We also use a safe, non-shocking electronic collar to ensure full attention of your k9 during training sessions. The electronic collar does not shock your k9; it gently vibrates when necessary to regain your dog’s attention. These positive techniques ensure easy training success, a happy relationship with your pet, and positive k9 behavior.

For basic obedience training, we start with in-home training. This allows us to involve all family members in the training process and to address all of your dog’s behavior. Some behaviors occur only in your home - like chasing the cat or mail man. By training in-home, our trainers can observe your k9 in his natural habitat. Once basic commands are covered, your k9 can graduate to group classes where he can learn to remain obedient despite the distraction of strangers and other dogs. This step by step process ensures deep-rooted training.

Dog Training Elite offers a vareity of expert K9 dog training programs near you in Raleigh / Cary.

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.


  • Empowering Owners
    We empower Owners to train so their dog knows who to obey at all times.
  • Personalized
    We deal with problem behaviors on a personal basis.
  • Environment Specific
    We train wherever issues tend to arise (i.e. jogging, park, home).
  • Supportive
    We support Owners in the off-hours (when training is "not in session").
  • Involved
    We work with all members of the household.
  • Simplified & Customized
    We plan training around the owner's schedule and require only 20 min/day follow-up practice.
  • Continued Training
    Additional programs / group sessions offered after in-home training.
  • Lifetime Investment
    We follow up & are invested in the owner's success long-term.
  • Satisfaction Ratings
    Our high client satisfaction rating sets us apart from competitors.

We’ve had our dog with DTE for the past 6 months and seen huge improvements as he is a poodle puppy and we needed him to be a service dog. Alex is the all-star team member and the trainer you’d want to prepare your family. Alex makes herself available for questions we have outside our sessions, is on time, friendly and goes the extra mile during Saturday classes at the park where our dog learns from other dogs/handlers.

This training saved our poor dog! Virginia was always so anxious. We tried everything we could think of including local dog training where you go to their facility. It wasn’t until Alexx came to our home that the light bulb went off for us as owners. She needed to be taught what she was supposed to do. Once Alexx started training Virginia, everything clicked. Now she is so happy to lucky and rarely shows signs of anxiety. She goes to her designated “place,” she doesn’t bark, she walks on a leash without pulling, and is very well behaved. In home dog training is the way to go and we highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

Cindy and Alexx are very responsive and helpful! Our “pandemic puppy” had become a terror and was extremely reactive around other people and dogs. When our teen wanted to get a service dog, we knew we needed help with our current pup before we could even consider bringing another dog into the household. Once our family started working with Alexx, we noticed a difference right away. Our pup started responding to commands and visitors to our home noticed how much calmer she had become. Our pup is still a work in progress but Alexx always has helpful suggestions to help us work through every issue. Cindy helped us find a reputable breeder for our daughter’s service dog in training and we will be working with Alexx again to train the new pup! I am so thankful that we found them!
