Dog Training Elite is a professional, family-owned dog training company with over 40 years of experience that specializes in strengthening the bond between your dog and your family, with a strong emphasis on teaching your dog the highest level of obedience, despite even the toughest level of distractions.
In a safe, controlled environment, we guide your dog through essential socialization skills, teaching them to remain calm, focused, and well-mannered, even in the midst of distractions.
One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Salt Lake City.
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.

I’m Oakley Gurr. I am the woman behind the scenes here at the office. My job is to make sure our clients, employees, and pups are all taken care of! I have always loved animals—especially dogs. I whole-heartedly believe in the peace, comfort and companionship they bring. I have a service dog named Sully who is my shadow and best pal.
Hi, I’m Jeff Slack! I have loved dogs ever since I was a kid. I currently have 3 dogs and would own more if I could. I was a kennel tech for 3 years before I became a dog trainer. I’m also CPR and dog first-aid certified as well as AKC evaluator certified.
In my free time I love to play ice hockey, airsoft, and ride my Harley in the canyons. I am excited to meet you and your pups and help you reach your training goals. Let’s have some fun and make you and your dog ELITE!
My name is Jake Boldt. I had no clue I’d ever be a dog trainer. One night I was eating dinner with my mom, talking about how I have no clue what I want to do with my life then out of nowhere, Neal, the owner of the Arizona franchise says, “you like dogs?”... Of course I do! We talk, he hands me his card, and I go to apply. I was lucky enough to get the job, and now I can’t see myself doing anything else.
I have a black Labradoodle named Bo. He’s being trained to be my Psychiatric service dog. He’s been by my side learning this whole job with me and I couldn't imagine my life without him.
Worth every penny, and I should have signed up for dog training sooner. The whole crew at DTE are knowledgable, kind, and took the time to customize a training program for my unique situation and even individualized between my two dogs. I am so pleased! Thanks Jeff, Dallin, McCall & Oakley! You have been a game changer in my releationship with my dogs.

We did the platinum package that included 2 weeks of day camp, along with private lessons and group classes. We’ve been impressed with all of the individualized advice and direction we’ve gotten from DTE. And all the trainers are extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I was pretty blown away by the change we saw after just the first week. Our girl Stevie still has some growing to do, but I feel that we have the tools to meet our goals. Stevie was a reactive shelter dog that is quickly growing into a confident, playful, well-adjusted girl.

Dallin was great! He was on time and has awesome energy. My puppy loves him! He gave me some very useful tips on correcting jumping and button training my puppy. He is also very knowledgeable and explains behaviors in a very easy to understand way.

Our boys love Jeff and the entire team at dog training elite! We started the boys with their puppy program and obedience classes. Our 2 year old malinois is currently in the personal protection program and our 2 year old English bulldog is working on completing the therapy dog certification. We highly recommend them.

Thumbs up for Jake, McCall, and Oakley as well as Jeff, who did some home training with us earlier this year!!

McCall is so amazing! She really listens to what I’m saying and works so well with making sure not only my Service Animal Henry is understanding but that I as the handler is understanding as well. Love you McCall!

Dallin was professional in explaining the available programs -- without any pressure to "buy-up." I recently brought a 4y and 4m old Berner into my home. They exhibited their full range to him -- vocalization, jumpy, calm, puppy biting, and their need for attention. My animals quickly showed they were comfortable with him -- and he with them. We are looking forward to engaging in the 2w camp program!! Our vet is also delighted we have decided on this company/this program as a great fit!

The trainer was great. He was able to train me... and Juno (my Bernese) as well. We have gone from a dog with little obedience to a dog that walks without a leash. Something I didn't expect, the bonds between Juno and me are stronger.

We have loved the trainers we’ve worked with equally.
Jeff is awesome! Our pup has loved him, and so do we. He is very knowledgeable and has helped us tremendously.
Dallin is the best too! He is so gentle and friendly with our sweet dog, and we love his style.
Our lives are so much better thanks to DTE and we are so happy with their service.
