I have a brain injury and the trainer Jessica worked with my dog and me, her knowledge and kindness was so great. Knowing my limitations she made sure that I understood everything she was teaching. I highly recommend this group!

    Today we met Alisa at the mall and it was a very valuable experience!!! We worked on all the components of the Public Access Test We achieved things we couldn’t have without Alisa’s expertise and confidence building techniques. If you’re on the fence about their services, go for it, you will be so happy you did. Renee is an AMAZING trainer She has brought Sammie Jo to a new level and we couldn’t be more grateful

    Blaize was knowledgeable and really listened to our concerns with Hugo. She was supportive and encouraging. After each session she made sure we understood the lesson she covered and what we needed to work on with Hugo. It is reassuring to know we can always contact her with questions once we head back north. We enjoyed working with her.

    Today My dog Nova and I did our Public Access Test. Our trainer Renee Juliano a highly trained Dog Handler with Dog Training Elite. This test is to ensure that dogs that have public access are stable. The Bottom Line of this test is that Nova demonstrates she is safe to be in public and that I demonstrates I has control of Nova at all times. Our final Result was "Pass." Renee is a valuable quality skill in her trade nothing but the best.

    They heard my concerns related to my pup. Have tailored a program that IS working. Love being trained along with the pup (who is 4 yrs old and who needed an attitude readjustment).
