Sarah did an amazing job working with us and our dogs! We learned something new during every session and our dogs responded very well to her methods. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite Michiana to anyone looking for quality dog training.

The trainers here are amazing. We never thought our dogs would be this well behaved and it only took a month! Sarah is wonderful with our dogs and is great at explaining what to do when we get home and practice with the dogs.

Absolutely amazing! I got a rescue dog that was scared of everything, including me. I couldn't get him to go outside, or trust me enough to even get close to him. Sarah and her team were able to meet him, understand the problem, modify their training plan specifically for him, set realistic goals for him with me and execute that plan - taking the extra time and care where he needed it most even when sessions ran well over the alotted time. The amount of care and curated planning specifically to my dogs specific situation was very impressive and I am very appreciative of the care and training Dog Training Elite provided.

Encouraging always and willing to reiterate information so I can make good choices with my dogs and their continued journey of learning!!! Today was our last one on one session and I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and Dog Training Elite! She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and easily relays that knowledge and experience so I can teach my two Aussies! Great experience 10/10!!!

Dog Training Elite Michiana is absolutely amazing! Chloe and Rich have been working with my 9 month old golden retriever puppy, Callum, and they are beyond great! They have so much knowledge with dogs and training that it just amazes me! I have learned so much in our training sessions already. The way they can read dogs blows my mind. You can see their passion when working with my pup. Everyone I have encountered at this place has been so kind and helping, from the front desk lady to the trainers. Training with them is worth every penny, and I highly recommend this place…and them!!

Our Dog Training Process in Notre Dame, IN

Dog Training Elite Michiana

One of our local dog trainers will come to your Notre Dame home to meet with you and your dog, assess any issues and strengths and help you select a personalized program that will best suit you both. We will then demonstrate one of our trained dogs to help you better understand our dog training techniques and the results they produce.

A Dog Training Elite Michiana graduate will behave both at home and in distracting environments due to our multi-environmental approach and the results will be lasting if the owner remains a key player in the training process. A dog signed up for one of our programs is a part of the Dog Training Elite Michiana family for life. Our Notre Dame, IN dog trainers are known for their ongoing and exceptional support given to owners. We believe in what we do and want to instill confidence in both owners and their dogs.
