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!

Wow, Jeff arrived and quickly put our dog Delilah at ease. He showed us how to make the training session fun using lots of small treats for Delilah. Command, Mark, Treat and repeat. It’s us needing the training not our puppy.

McCall did an incredible job training our 4-month-old doodle, Peaches! She taught our pup all the basic commands, sit, come, lay down, off, and up, and our favorite, “place”! Peaches now knows how to stay in her place, even when we walk away, until we give the release command, “break.” It’s been a game-changer! McCall also introduced “calm stops,” helping Peaches learn how to regulate her emotions. I can’t say enough about how much she taught not just our dog, but us as owners! Every day, she provided clear breakdowns of what Peaches learned, what to practice, and always asked, “What else? What else came up? What else do you need help with?” She’s incredibly attentive, thorough, and supportive. We’re so excited to continue with in-home sessions! Peaches has learned so much, and so have we!

Had a great experience with Dog Training Elite. McCall was the main trainer for Daisy and the transformation we saw in just a couple weeks was incredible. She made sure to address all the concerns I had with Daisy. All the trainers that we worked with were great and super friendly. I would absolutely recommend people here. Update 9/16/25 They are still the best, was having issues with leash pulling while on hikes, Jeff met me on a hiking trail and really helped me get that under control. The group classes have also been invaluable and a great time!

We had the absolute best experience with Dog Training Elite! From the very first session, the trainers were professional, patient, and truly invested in helping our dog Sherlock succeed. Sherlock can be a handful, but they worked with him in such a positive and encouraging way that we quickly saw progress. Their training methods are clear, effective, and tailored to both the dog and the owner, which made it easy for us to continue practicing at home. What impressed me most was how much they genuinely cared about Sherlock’s success. They didn’t just train him—they also gave us the tools and confidence to keep reinforcing his good behavior long after the sessions ended. I can’t recommend Dog Training Elite enough. If you’re looking for trainers who are knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated to helping your dog thrive, this is the team you want! Sherlock is happier, more confident, and so much better behaved thanks to them.

McCall and the rest of the team did a great job of training our dog and working with him on core problems that he was having with confidence and reactivity. She also did a great job of making sure we understood everything that she taught him so we could continue his training and lessons at home. He is a different dog, we will be bringing his brother in next to train with her. Highly recommend bringing your dog to train with McCall and the rest of the team.

UPDATE: Jeff Slack has worked with Piper through the Majority of her training so far. He NEVER ceases to amaze me! Jeff remains calm, patient and reassures my dog when she starts getting scared. Jeff, Meggie and Dallin Renouard are by far some of the best trainers! Meggie did a fantastic job! She was very concise and encouraging to both me and my dog. She was very calming and my dog took to her VERY quickly! Meggie is an awesome trainer! Dallin helped me train my dog with the heel command portion. Super communicative, VERY patient with my pup, definitely knows his stuff! DTE is by far the best way to go to train your dog! HIGHLY recommend for whatever level of trainer you are, you won't be disappointed, only happy!

We have had the best experience on our training journey with DTE! Jeff, Meggie and Dallin are the best! Dallin came to our home for our first evaluation. He was great with our dog, and provided the information and resources we needed to begin our training journey. We just had our second session with Jeff, and have been so happy to see the results. The knowledge and passion Jeff has for dogs and training shows during each interaction. We look forward to future sessions, and continued training with Jeff and the DTE team!

Our first week of puppy boot camp has been amazing. Poppy (our mini dachshund) is learning so much every day during training but also able to do it when we practice with her at home in the evenings. I was worried the training wouldn’t translate but I’m so glad with the owner training I receive each day as I pick her up. Poppy is exhausted each day and I worried she might resist going back but no, she is anxious to get back each morning and snuggle her new favorite person, her trainer McCall! I love how they interact and how wonderful McCall is with her, and I’m sure every dog she works with. Our experience thus far has been really positive and I’m excited to see how much more Poppy will progress next week. Highly recommend Dog Elite Training!

McCall has been wonderful with our two puppies! The whole staff treats them like their own. Both puppies have learned such great manners.

We did the training camp and are now starting the group lessons. The arrangements are not cheap, but the instructors are very helpful and always willing to listen. McCall helped us with additional requests for other commands, especially drop it. We're comfortable with the investment because for the price, we're burying a lifetime of support.

I’ll be honest, I put off her last home visit for over a week because I was scared that she wasn’t going to make the cut for the next phase. During that time I increased a lot of the learned tools and skills in a variety of environments. Yesterday when Jeff came for her final visit to teach her the last command, it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life! She just knew what to do. I think she feels really safe around Jeff and she even took his feedback to heart when she tried to nip me. Bailey is going to keep kicking butt, and we are so freaking excited to start school with everyone else!

Excellent presentation. We look forward to the training program. Jeff was great at explaining the program and demonstrating with his dog. We are excited to get started.Dallin did a great job training our Duke. He was exhausted after his first session 😊 Second session with Meggie. Duke loved Meggie. She taught him how to place. Now no more barking and charging the door. She was patient with Duke but he caught on pretty quick. She is a great trainer. Thank you! Third lesson with Meggie. She is so patient with our boy Duke. He did so good with his sits and door manners. He was great walking and sitting with Happy!!! Thanks so much Duke is learning so much! Fourth session with Meggie. Duke learned the down command. He can keep the down command and stay while I walk away. Meggie is a great trainer. Duke is learning so much. Thank you! Fifth session was healing. Duke did great even with distractions. Meggie has been a great trainer and Duke and I have learned so much. Duke is an obedient dog now. Thank you Meggie! We are looking forward to group sessions now!

SO KIND!! and very helpful!!! Obi started with his prong collar, which made a HUGE difference when taking him on walks! He has a solid heel with it. I can be "hands free" when walking him! And It really helped with his reactivity. We also did the puppy Obidence classes, which I highly recommend. They help your pup learn to behave around other dogs and also give you training ideas on ways to make their Obidence even better! And the trainers always help if your pup struggles with any of the commands or situations. (Like if your dog gets startled by noices or things) Even if you don't do the service dog training at minimum, do the puppy Obidence classes , the training is FABULOUS and EFFECTIVE!! Obi just recently got his e-collar, and he's amazing!! It's a HUGE step up from how he was. Some people may not love the idea of the e-collar. However, it is so EFFECTIVE at communicating with your dog, even at a distance. When I let my pup off leash, I am more comfortable with it because I know I can still communicate with my pup even when there is a lot of distance between us or even other distractions. And honestly, (speaking from experience) people who complain about using e-collars or even other training tools don't have well-behaved dogs. Or don't fully understand how to use them properly. This is why DTE helps you understand fully how to properly use the tools! Again, the e-collar is a great TOOL as long as you use it correctly. And the trainers 100% know the correct way to use it, making it one of the best tools!! My pup also loves when the trainers come over for the in home appointments. They are all really great with him. He learns so much from them in just the hour they are there! They really make all the training for a service dog easy to comprehend because of the broken up steps that just make it not so stressful or overwhelming. Because it is a lot of work. But with the right trainers (DTE!!!!) you will find the whole process easier and not overwhelming!!! WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!!!

Jeff was amazing with Dexter!!! 2 1/2 weeks ago Dexter broke a toe on his right front paw, the vet orders were Dexter stays in his crate other than to go to the bathroom. He seemed to have lost all his training skills and was out of control for being in his crate 24/7. Dexter is 6 months old Doberman that weighs 100lbs. Jeff came into my home and showed me how to stimulate dexters brain to tire him out. Works great!!! Jeff is a great trainer, thank you Jeff!!!!

Jeff gave us confidence that the training program will work for our lab! His attitude was very positive, and, after he demonstrated some behaviors with his own dog and showed us the collar used, we felt sure this was the right place for Ruby! We like the combination of at-home and in class training and the option for spot checks and help down the road. McCall always made us feel as though Ruby was her absolute favorite. We appreciated her positive energy!

Dallin came to our home for a training session, and I’m amazed with the amount of training that we could cover in the time he was here! Luna is so smart and does a great job when she has a focus, but she is our most anxious dog by far! Just seeing her reactions to noises in our home, he was able to suggest and practice some things to help build confidence. He gave us so many suggestions on how to help her through firework season, I’m really excited to help her feel calmer during those really big stresses! Dallin took us on a walk, and was not only able to help with Luna’s confidence while walking, but mine too! In just a short walk down the street and some practice, there was a significant difference in how Luna reacted to other dogs! We’ve been struggling to keep Luna’s muzzle on, but Dallin helped us work through the big issues! Thank you so much DTE, and Dallin for all you’ve done for us! We are so excited to see her continual growth!!

Great experience with Dog Training Elite! McCall was the handler with our American Akita for two weeks. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about dogs. From day one, she took the time to understand our dog’s unique personality and tailored the training to fit his needs. American Akitas can be very stubborn and that was definitely the case with our dog. We saw a huge improvement in behavior, focus, and confidence after just a few sessions. What really stood out was her ability to teach us how to better communicate with our dog — it made all the difference. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely caring dog trainer.

Dog Training Elite were wonderful trainers and I would recommend them to anyone who loves their dog. Our little one year old miniature Shih Tzu weighs 4.2 pounds and we were scared that he might not get the help he needed. And, it seemed very expensive to us. BUT, not only did he get the best help but the price now seems very reasonable for what we have gained. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants their dog trained. These people LOVE dogs and it shows!!

Dallin is above and beyond! You can tell he is a true dog lover, and someone who will ACTUALLY make a difference in a dogs life. Within 30 minutes, I knew that this was the company to train my little dog and hopefully get him on the way to service training. When they say “the last dog trainer you’ll ever need” they mean it. Every single person I’ve worked with at the studio has been WONDERFUL and truly have outdone the training expectations. I feel so confident in their program I would recommend it to anyone no matter what dog they have. I’m so grateful to have found such incredible people!!! Thank you DTE!!!

Dallin has worked wonders for pup! Dwayne has come so far and continues to improve every session and every group class! I was skeptical of the group class at first because our dog had some reactivity issues, but after 4 classes with Dallin, Meggie and Jeff- we have seen a world of difference! Dallin listens to what is important to us (like taking our dog on trails, etc) and he brought Matilda tonight and we were able to have the best little hike with them both while working on skills!

It was great meeting Jeff during our free in-home evaluation. He arrived right on time and immediately made both us and our dog feel comfortable during the meet and greet. We really appreciated his nonjudgmental approach, especially as we work through a few challenges with our 10 year old dog, who isn’t always the most obedient.

Move over Cesar Millan—Utah has its own Dog Whisperer, and his name is Jeff Slack! Jeff, Meggie, and the entire team at Dog Training Elite are absolute rockstars. From day one, they were hands-on, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Every trainer we worked with was excellent and truly passionate about helping both dogs and their humans succeed. They didn’t just train our dog—they gave us the tools to help her grow into a happy, confident, and well-behaved member of our family. Huge thank you to everyone at DTE!

My dog Kilo just completed the first step of a lifelong journey with Dog Training Elite (DTE). He had the opportunity to be worked with at the Sandy facility with his amazing trainer McCall and her team. Upon pick-up, the trainers work with you as the dog parent to learn the skills and techniques to practice on our own. Training with DTE is truly the last one you will ever need as a dog parent. The habits/changes my dog has learned from the first day to the immense growth he has demonstrated two full weeks later has me MIND BLOWN. In fact, McCall and her team has treated my Kilo like their own pet and this is a big deal for me coming from Hawaii where Ohana is so important. 10/10 recommend to anyone needing any dog training services and it is worth the expense for the time, consistency, dedication, love, and quality they put into each day of training. I am excited for the next step of having some 1:1 training sessions and joining group training sessions. Im grateful that my dog’s journey wont end here and we will have lifetime support and unlimited group class experiences that help us as dog parents be more confident in working with our own dogs, and maintaining our dog’s learning outside of the facility. Look at my happy dog and make sure you all follow his Instagram acct to follow his journey with DTE and learn more about his experience: @Kilothepitt_

I URGE you to reach out to DTE to schedule a consultation, We reached out to DTE after spending $3500 on a training course through another local training company which left us feeling stuck and not hopeful. We picked the at home lessons along with life long group classes. It is a BANG for your BUCK. Every group class is organized well and the trainers are happy to help guide you through the struggles. We started training with a reactive and timid Rottweiler. But the growth that our pup has shown from our first lesson to now is miraculous. The E-Collar has been a blessing as well and has saved our dog from bad situations. We owe our deepest gratitude to Jeff and the team members at dog training elite. Jeff saved our sanity and has transformed our daily life with BAMF for the better. I could not recommend this place more.

Today we took Gus (9 month old Boxer) to Scheels. He is a nervous dog so I thought the surroundings would help desensitize him. Meggie was super patient and reassured Gus the whole time. He did a lot better than expected. Meggie is great to work with.

Excellent trainers! We loved meeting with Dallin and working with him. They love and respect the dogs they work with and really know what they are doing. I’d trust them with any dog.

Dolan showed up On time and courteous and knowledgeable no rushing very explanatory. I’d give a 5 star if I’ve used their training facility and felt the same way I feel today.

I have nothing, but positive things to say about McCall and Dog Training Elite. My pup, Bear, has become more confident and obedient almost overnight. Im so excited to put his training to the test when we go camping this year. Thank you

Absolutely recommend. We got our black German shepherd early and were nervous about taking him into puppy classes so young. Our at home visits are perfect for us until our puppy is big enough to attend puppy school from them! He is already learning so much, We can't wait to see what he can become

Jeff and Dog Training Elite are Amazing. He is such a help I’m not just obedience, but having a working relationship with my service dog. His instructions are clear and he gives us goals To work toward. I Highly recommend working with Jeff.

Been doing PTSD service dog training with them for almost a year and it's been nothing short of amazing! Everyone is super friendly and caring and it's been a breeze to work with them! I started on the gold star training program when my pup turned 1 and suddenly forgot all the training I taught her(aka turned into a stubborn teenager). They helped me navigate and understand her body language and behaviors and it's the best investment I made! We've enjoyed the group classes at Fairmont Park too!

We've worked with McCall, Dallen, and Jeff at Dog Training Elite for several months. First for puppy training when our puppy was 11 weeks old, then for obedience training, which we are finishing up today. It's been a great experience, and they are all so good at what they do! We purchased a training program that has lifetime support, which we plan on using often. If you're on the fence, use DTE. They won't disappoint.
