Evan Sutton

Owner

Hi, I’m Evan Sutton! After my service in the military, I was looking for something that was fun and rewarding. After applying through the Malinois Foundation to get a service dog, I realized dog training was that thing. I am currently the lead dog trainer and love building up my clients and team to reach their full potential.

Some fun facts about me: I’m 6’8” and a big teddy bear. I love riding motorcycles and off roading. I have 5 dogs: 2 Belgian Malinois, 1 Frenchie, 1 Bug (Boston Terrier/Pug), and a Dachshund. I am commonly known around the office as a Disney princess because all animals seem to flock to me…I’m not mad about it.

Hunter Davis

Lead Trainer

Hey there, I’m Hunter, a self-proclaimed dog enthusiast with a passion that borders on obsession! Ever since I can remember, I've been drawn to these furry, wagging bundles of joy. Maybe it’s their unbridled enthusiasm for everything from chasing a ball to greeting me like I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread, or maybe it’s just those puppy-dog eyes that melt my heart every time. My love for dogs isn’t just a hobby; it’s a lifestyle. And I can promise will care for your dog like it's my own.

And a little more about me: I love playing sports! From football to soccer, basketball to track, and even golf and baseball—I’ve tried my hand (and feet) at it all. Being the oldest of five boys, I come from a lively, tight-knit family where competition and camaraderie go hand in hand. So, if you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and maybe even teach them a trick or two, you’ve found your guy!

Hi my name is Kaycee Pullman! I am a mother of three incredible children and three incredible pups. In my free time I enjoy caring for my ridiculous amount of house plants, camping and being around those I love. From a young age people always told me I had an abundance of charisma and that I would one day help many people. Lucky for me, here I am! My passion for service dog training runs deep, being as I have seen first hand my kids lives impacted in the best way with their service pups. Working for DTE I have been able to embrace my love for dogs and bettering people's lives.

These people are AMAZING! I researched therapy training companies for my 3 years old Aussiedoodle to share his charm with others. It turns out training is more for the human than canine. Hunter is very professional, patient and compassionate to both of us. He reads my dog very well and I keep him guessing! If you are interested in possibly using Dog Training Eliite St George, definitely call them for an assessment of your dog and meet Hunter! You will not be disappointed. Kasey, who handles the administrative portion, is very personable and pleasant! Thank You

Hunter was amazing with our dog Harley. I took classes before the new owners but there were something he would never do. He would never let me walk away & stay. Hunter came to the house in one class I could walk out of the house & he would stay placed in the house with the door opened. It was amazing! I recommend this trading to anyone who is looking to have their dog trained. Thanks Hunter!

Backstory and why I am so glad they changed owners: We started off with this company a little less than a year ago to have our new dog service trained for my husband. The first trainer to show up, Sarah, was super cool and kind and had given us a pretty clear plan of how at home training was going to go, we thought training was going well, she was kind and we could tell she cared, but after our third lesson with her Hayden showed up at our fourth and basically just said he was taking over since we had a service dog and we were going to switch to public outings and just cut a lot of corners and cut Sarah's original plan extremely short. My husband felt like we were getting scammed and didn't like how all of a sudden we weren't getting personal training and just repetitively walking through stores and basically being told our dog was ready to pass his test, when we didn't even really have all the basics done at home. Just didn't feel right and I was in denial saying we'd get more home lessons later like they promised cause I didn't want to believe this training cost us thousands of dollars. But my husband really was not ok with it and knew something was wrong. Then the ownership changed and I'm soooooo happy it did! They took on all the old clients that had thought their dogs were service trained and have basically saved them from having issues in the future when they would find out they weren't. Hunter is so nice and definitely more knowledgeable than Hayden, or maybe it's because he actually cares. We've had more in-home visits in the past couple months than we did in the 8 months prior and my husband, who just feels things in his gut, magically, was happier and more involved since Hayden left and Hunter and Evan took over. We basically had to start from scratch because even the collar commands were incorrect before, but these owners are taking all this extra work on at their own expense and I'm so grateful for them. This is now worth the money and Jett, our pup, loves Hunter. Thank you guys for taking on this heavy load and helping all of the original customers out!

We love dog training elite St George! We have been working with them for a few months on service dog training and they have been super helpful and knowledgeable. We have seen a world of differences. My pup (rescue) was abused and anxious of the world and it is amazing to now see him so confident and able to explore. I can not say enough for this company. Our trainer Hunter is amazing and I hope you and your furry friends are lucky enough to work with them.

My pup and I have been in the service dog program with DTE since September 2023. I want to join the crowd of those who were unhappy with the training we were receiving at that point -- often feeling rushed, ignored, or like my poor dog was just stressed out. HOWEVER, The new owners, and Hunter specifically, have been amazing. We've been working with them for a few months, and I can already see a difference in my pup. He's happier and behaving better, and I feel like I'm actually learning how to implement the training at home! He's spends SO much time with us and never makes us feel rushed. My service dog is officially doing his task training now, and is excelling at it thanks to Hunter's patience, kindness, and willingness to work at my pups level. We are very happy with the new ownership, and I feel so hopeful about my pup as he becomes closer and closer to being fully trained!

Our trainer was outstanding. He gave 100 percent effort. Our dog who can be agressive, eventually warmed up to our trainer thanks to his patience and persistence.

Trainer Hunter, is just what my pup and I needed. Norah, my spunky Aussie-doodle, has already learned so much from Hunter, as have I. Norah is much more respectful and intelligent after proper training. Norah and I are doing full service animal training. It is a lot of work, but it is done with an emphasis of care, not only with Norah, but with me. Thank you Hunter and DTE! Shout out to Evan who has also helped me tremendously!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot thank Evan, Hunter, and Kaycee enough. They went above and beyond to make accommodations for extra support either in person, phone, or texting. They are the A-Team to have for helping me with my service animal and helping me meet a hard deadline before I leave town. My Great Dane attached instantly which tells me she reads them as leaders who also love and care for her, and not “do this!” because I tell you to do so. That is huge, as a Great Dane is incredibly sensitive and needs special handling. My quick rundown: 1) after assessing my girl and my short deadline, they tailored the training for focus on the top 5 ‘must haves’ first. This was after long onboarding conversations with both Kaycee and Evan. We dove right in with full 1-hour sessions that provided me with easy to do homework so results for that week’s lesson were ingrained quickly. The use of an e-collar was hard until it was explained and demonstrated. This, in conjunction with our already established treat/reward training, was taken into account and has been well received by my girl. So far, highly effective and notable progress is being made. Overall Experience is a 5/5: I highly recommend this very specific A-Team. The communication, accommodations, and approach coupled with Evan’s expertise, is making me smile!!

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite with Hunter and Evan! They really are dog whisperers because they genuinely care about and love dogs. Implementing the commands, rules and boundaries with our pups is helping to make Toffee and Frito an even more beloved part of our family. I loved that Hunter took time to teach my daughters and husband and I how to use the e-collar correctly for obedience training. They also worked individually with Toffee and Frito. We have been given all we need to succeed in our homework for the week and reinforce the learning. We always look forward to the next visit! The time Hunter and Evan have spent with us has won us over. This training is completely worth the money. The new ownership and trainers have far exceeded our expectations. Even the company and scheduling is well organized and just fantastic. Moreover, our dogs love Hunter! He has gone above and beyond to help us get the kind of training that ensures our pups are healthy and happy and we are too!

Hayden and his team of trainers have been so wonderful to work with training our dog! About a year ago we started working with Dog Training Elite to service train my dog and we have had nothing but positive exprience from day one. Even now, if I ever have an issue or concern with my dog, the trainers are more than willing to help out. 10/10 best investment for my pup!

Sarah and Hayden have done such a great job for us and our dog Lil'bit. They helped us to be more confident which has given our dog an opportunity to rise to his confident self. With all the preparation we were so happy when Lil'bit was introduced to other dogs. Hayden did such a great job helping Lil'bit understand how to interact with other dogs. Both Sarah and Hayden have helped us to be confident with our dog around other people and other dogs. Thank you for bringing more freedom to our home.

I adopted Watson two years ago after losing my 18 year old Peekingese. I have gotten older and I needed help with Watson's training. I am so glad I called dog training elite. The e-coller has never left any marks on my dog however it does help him to pay attention to what is being taught. Hayden (the trainer) is professional, dependable and very patient with me. Hayden explains the training techniques thoroughly and I am seeing real results. Thank you Dog Training elite!

In the beginning, I was involved with the shock collar for my dog, and I was not comfortable with doing it, and really didn’t want to believe in it. But after being educated about the guard and how it teaches the dog faster and more relevant to the situation. So it took me a little while but I grew into it and now it’s become an every day lesson with my dog.

I can’t even tell you how happy I am with the results of training our puppies with Dog Training Elite St. George. I guess since I’m submitting a review I will try. I have 2 dogs ages 5 and 1. We have all but given up on our five year old ever responding to us when we call him (unless it’s on his schedule). When we got the new puppy, we decided to make the extra investment to train him right. We really want to have a well behaved dog that doesn’t freak out in public. Hayden from Dog Training Elite trained both dogs for us! Now, when people come over, the dogs will stay in their place. They don’t jump up on people. We can take them for walks or to festivals and they are so well behaved. Now, I’m one of the cool dog owners that has the awesome dogs- not just one, but two! Also- we have trained our little dog to be a service animal and he gets to visit the kids in the hospital and they love it.

Hayden at DTE has been absolutely outstanding in getting my crazy German Shepherd Dog under control. He has taught me a great deal on how to control my dog’s behavior. In just a few short weeks I am able to walk my pup with confidence without all the barking and pulling. Thanks Dog Training Elite! Money well spent.
