Local Dog Trainers in Salt Lake City, UT

Meggie was very thorough and knowledgeable

We were so impressed with our first meeting with Jeff. He analyzed our dogs and was very honest with his recommendations. He gave us hope that there is a solution to assist with some bad behaviors the dogs have developed but didn’t sugarcoat the truth in telling us to be exactly where we want the dogs behavior to be when around others (dogs people they don’t discriminate) we’re about a year out of daily corrections and praises. I was excited to know that we can correct the behavior. He was very direct in the fact that the owner is as much involved as the dog and trainer. The owner will also be given homework. I was so impressed that before we start our second lesson, we are to show the trainer where the dogs have come over that week. I love that. He was also very clear that every dog has their own personality and what works for one dog doesn’t always work for the one sitting right next to him or her. I agreed with this philosophy, 100% There are no bad dogs just bad trainers dog training elite is the (sorry for the pun,) elite in the dog training world. If you want a training facility that trains you as much as the dogs this is the trainer for you.

Meggie and the team at Dog Training Elite of Salt Lake are the best!! Our dog loves working with them and had made fantastic progress!!

We had a fantastic experience with Dog Training Elite. Jeff was clearly very knowledgeable and confident with dogs, and even though this was just a meet-and-greet, he took the time to show us exactly what we could expect from training. He was amazing with our young, hyper Dalmatian—calm, patient, and engaging—which immediately put us at ease. It was obvious he understands dog behavior and knows how to work with high-energy breeds. We left feeling excited and confident about the training process. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite and Jeff!

Jeff is always extremely professional. I love how much he cares for and loves dogs! Great guy! Look forward to having him back

Meggie was very personable, professional, did an excellent job of explaining the programs, and displayed in-depth general knowledge of dog behavior and specific breed traits.

Jeff has provided us with amazing tools to help us create a lovely well behaved dog 😊❤️.

Jeff is great. These people know what they’re doing. Training humans to train dogs! And it works

McCall is super professional and thoughtful about training our puppy to mine and my wife’s needs! Not only that but teaching US how to work with the puppy ourselves! 10/10

We had Jeff Slack in our house today to meet our new puppies and he was absolutely fantastic and his vibes were fantastic and we’re excited to work with him

Jeff was great with our dog Sera, she loved him and his dog. We are really excited to start training with him. Had our 3rd lesson with Meggie and it was very good she have us great advice. Meggie and Happy were awesome to work with and she is very positive. Finally went to a puppy socialization class with Jeff. It was really good for my puppy and really showed me what I still need to work on. Seraphina did really well and I was super pleased. I definitely have my work cut out for me though cause she could careless about treats. She just wants to play. She was definitely ready for bed last night and she's still tired this morning..LOL Jeff was out today and he was excellent with Seraphina. She is a very stubborn alpha puppy and he really helped me to understand how to handle her stubborn side. She is already listening better, but i am working on being the alpha in or relationship. I had to tie her to my desk cause I told her to stay and she kept leaving. Eventually I was able to untie her and she stayed and fell asleep 😴 💤 We all went to Lowes with Meggie and had a great class working on sit for duration and not breaking with distractions. Seraphina loves running through the big blue flatbed carts. It was very fun. Thank you Meggie.

Soooo helpful and patient

McCall (and everyone else at DTE) was absolutely incredible—it truly felt like she treated Gunner like her own!! She took our dog—a well-known trash goblin—to a certified good boy. Gunner is seriously the most well-behaved and obedient boy now! He LOVED going every morning, and would even start whining in the car as soon as we turned into the parking lot! We’re excited to start the group classes to keep up on Gunner’s training!

Thanks to the Jeff and Yaga team for teaching Brady and I some new behaviors. We appreciate you so much for helping US become a better team. I highly recommend Jeff and all the trainers at Dog Training Elite.

Wow, Jeff arrived and quickly put our dog Delilah at ease. She’s always so happy to see him. Today we learned the Heal command. She did extremely well even with distractions like Jeff’s dog walking with us; small killer dog barking at us; and motorcycles going by. We highly recommend the Elite Dog Trainers to all wanting training for themselves and their dogs. Mary and Curtis.

We had a fantastic experience taking two dogs through the program. McCall was an outstanding trainer and made great progress with both our adult dog and our puppy. We are really looking forward to sending our other two doggos through the program soon!

Always a joy working with Jeff. Out dogs love him and we are learning a lot about training our pups.

Jeff is the dog whisperer! First day went well! Coco is progressing nicely!

I have loved working with Jeff and his dog. Our dog loves him too. He has a great way to teach and connect with us.

These trainers are amazing !! They are so knowledgeable and patient! They know their stuff!!
