The Benefits of Puppy Training

Our classes help your pup grow into a well-behaved dog. Here are a few benefits you can expect from choosing our elite training:

  • Deepen Your Bond With Your Puppy: Training your puppy – and continuing training with new tricks as they get older – is a great way to bond closely. Puppies have a natural desire to please and will learn to rely on you for guidance and direction, establishing a foundation of trust and love.
  • Socialize Your Dog: Obedience training, especially with group classes, helps dogs become comfortable and well-socialized around other dogs and people. This is important for when you want to take your dog on walks or invite people into your home.
  • Improve Your Dog’s Safety: Training your dog to listen and obey your commands will help them stay safe in any situation. Learning commands like “down,” “leave it,” “stop,” and “wait” can keep your dog safe from messing with dangerous things like electrical cords and other situations outdoors.
  • Provide Mental Stimulation: Good dogs can become bad dogs if they don’t have a way to work out physical and mental energy. Training as a lifelong pursuit is a great way to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged.

    My dog Oakley and I have been getting training sessions with Jeff for about 6 weeks and the progress he has made has been wonderful! We still have plenty to go but to look back and see what we've accomplished so far has been so rewarding! I am so glad I decided to reached out to DTE. Thank you Jeff in helping me gain confidence and how to correctly handle Oakley. I highly recommend DTE to anyone interested in training their dog.

    Meggie is knowledgeable, patient with our dog,Ollie, friendly, and most of all, went over the behaviors we had started with our dog that weren’t giving us favorable results, without talking down to us. When she left we had a good game plan in place that we could follow and manage.

    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite Salt Lake City! From the moment we walked in, I knew my puppy was in great hands. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated, really taking the time to understand my puppy's specific needs and personality. The training sessions were structured yet flexible, allowing my puppy to progress at his own pace while ensuring all critical skills were covered. I was particularly impressed with their positive reinforcement techniques, which made training enjoyable for my puppy and helped him learn effectively. The trainers are not only skilled professionals but also genuinely passionate about what they do. They provided us with valuable tips and resources for continued training at home, ensuring lasting results. My puppy has become more confident, obedient, and happy, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The facility itself was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, providing a safe and stimulating environment for the dogs. The regular feedback and progress reports kept me informed, and it was clear they truly cared about my puppy's development. If you’re looking for top-notch dog training, I wholeheartedly recommend Dog Training Elite Salt Lake City! Thank you for transforming my puppy into the amazing dog he is today! Omg, we are thrilled!

    Jeff and Dog Training Elite have been excellent to work with. Our 4 year old adopted Frenchie has a traumatic past, and is very reactive when she sees other dogs. Jeff has helped us understand her behavior and train her to be less anxious.

Training Essentials for Your Puppy

Here are a few puppy training tips from the expert team at Dog Training Elite! If you have any questions or want to see these methods in action, give us a call. We are more than happy to show you a demonstration and provide you with a glimpse of what our professional team can do!

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in positive reinforcement and yummy treats do the trick! We recommend a high-quality, berry-sized reward that your puppy will enjoy. Rewarding your dog while training teaches them that you approve of that behavior and maintains their motivation to perform well.
Because you’ll be handing out lots of treats, you will probably want a treat bag or pouch. There are many options out there with different sizes, shapes, and ways to carry. The benefit of getting a treat pouch is the ease of access and the ability to reward your puppy quickly. If you aren’t interested in getting a treat pouch, we recommend getting a small bag to carry you puppy’s rewards.
A clicker is a great tool to have along with rewards when training a puppy. With a clicker, you can immediately provide a positive sound when your dog performs a correct behavior, and then you can reward them with a treat. Pairing a clicker with treats is a great way to instill positive reinforcement because you teach your dog that they get a treat when they hear a click. You can buy many kinds of clickers at your local pet store, and they even have helpful clicker apps.
A good leash is another essential when bringing home a new puppy. We suggest a leash made of a durable material like leather and about 6 feet long to allow for comfortable room for both of you. Training your dog on a leash will set you up for fun walks in the future, keep your dog safe, and prevent them from getting lost while out of the house. It is also beneficial for an excited puppy who wants to run around and play while training.
You'll need a sturdy collar or harness to attach a leash while training. Deciding between a flat collar or body harness is up to your personal preference, but it is good to consider your dog's comfort and demeanor. A collar is necessary while training and for safety while out and about. A collar/harness is also the best place to attach the identification for your puppy. If anything happened to your dog, you'd be glad you had a collar with your information on it!
Getting a dog crate is a great way to housetrain your puppy. You will want to get a durable and safe crate for your dog that has enough room for them to be comfortable. You want the crate to be a place of calm and safety for your dog, not a punishment zone. Getting your puppy crate trained gives you a safe space in your home to keep them while they are unsupervised and also prevents unwanted behaviors like chewing or peeing inside.
