    ​I hired Dog Training Elite to work with my Malinois/GSD mix, Sandy, and it was the best investment I could have made. Let’s be clear: this training isn’t cheap, but good things rarely are. For the level of expertise and the results I have received, the price is more than fair. ​We started with private sessions where Neal and Karen came directly to my home. They don’t cut corners—we spent time building a rock-solid foundation in my own environment first. In fact, we had to demonstrate that control to "earn" our invitation to the group obedience classes, and eventually the protection group. I respect that standard; they ensure every dog in the group is truly ready. ​The knowledge base here is incredible. Neal walks the walk (watching his own protection-trained Malinois, Chewy, is inspiring), and Karen’s background in French Ring with Tervurens brings a technical precision that is hard to find. ​Now, at 8.5 months old, Sandy is thriving in the protection group. The decoy brings fantastic positive energy to the sessions, and Sandy’s confidence is skyrocketing. If you want real results, hire this team.

    Elite has a very comprehensive training program. The commands are consistent and clear as to what is expected from your dog. There is a lot of commitment and practice that goes with the training, but so far I have seen immense improvement.

    Dog Training Elite was amazing in helping us with our stubborn puppy’s basic obedience training! Karen, Alexa, and Azure were patient, knowledgeable, and tailored their approach to fit Booker’s dramatic personality. Thanks to them, our once headstrong puppy is listening and is so much better behaved. He’s catching on quickly. We have a lot more work ahead but I highly recommend this team and the approach.

    Azure was our trainer. Our dog Chip was very stubborn and we couldn’t get him obey. This training enabled us to get him to pay attention and obey commands right away. It is a difference of night and day. We appreciate what she was able to do for him and us. Thank you so much!

    I can not recommend Dog Training Elite DTE) strong enough!!!! From day 1 the changes in my dog’s behavior blew me away. My Akita knew the basics and was a very good dog but I wanted an exceptional dog. A dog that would protect me or my family when needed but also he needed to be on his best behavior at ALL times. My training began with Karen (an excellent trainer with a natural gift to communicate with your furry best friend) Now we are working directly with Neil and everyday I feel like we are moving leaps and bounds. My Akita looks forward to his training days and he truly is a very happy participant in his training process. He wants to do all the things we ask of him and you can tell he cannot wait to learn something new and receive my praise. Again I highly recommend Neil and his team. If you want your dog to be the dog you see in the movies then DTE is the only call you have to make!!!!

    Fantastic trainors. They are very patient and encouraging. I love that they come to your home for the initial training sessions, then progress to public spaces and group classes. I would highly recommend this group to anyone! There are no bad dogs, just bad handlers.

    We started the training less than two months ago, and the results have been dramatic! We were dealing with a highly energetic English setter who was constantly barking in our fence to any walkers passing by, plus reactive behavior toward other dogs when walking on a leash. I had tried the usual trainers with a reward-based program with no success. This is not my first dog ownership. My previous experiences were with dogs that were much easier to train. The barking was, for me, a significant problem due to its impact on the neighbors. However, after the first visit with Neal, the barking was gone!! The training immediately corrected the jumping on the couch or at the counter. We have completed the home visits and are participating in the group classes with fantastic success. He is still a happy and playful puppy. The difference now is that he obeys our commands and understands the limits. Neal and his team have been professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Thank Neal, Ashley, Azure, and the rest of the team for all their help.

    Dog Training Elite has done a great job of training my service dog. The combination of one-on-one training, group classes and their training techniques have been invaluable! Highly, highly recommend them!
