Dog Training Elite Suncoast has the best staff that truly makes you feel apart of their family. Their consistency with our wild pup has given us so much hope and eagerness to continue to come back!

Our trainer, Tonya, is patient with our dog and explains everything we need to do to continue with the training. Our dog, Lacey, loves her.

Aaron is a great trainer. So far we have done two classes and our dog Otto is doing great. Can’t wait to start the group classes.

We have been working with Dog Training Elite Suncoast for the last three months as we are working toward service dog level for my daughter. We have had only a great experience. The Elite Suncoast team have all been super kind, flexible, professional, adaptable, knowledgeable... I have only postive things to say and will continue to recommend them to friends and family! Five stars!

Excellent experience to have Tonya come into our home and train our puppy. Always very accommodating with scheduling, we are a busy family so the at home training was the best! I highly recommend Dog Training Elite you will see promising results in the comfort of your own home.

I cannot recommend DTE enough. They’ve been absolutely amazing working with my dog, Ozzy. He’s not even finished with his training yet, but he’s already a completely different dog. The improvement in his manners, obedience, and overall behavior has been incredible to see. What I appreciate most is their honesty and integrity. They don’t try to sell you more than you need—they recommend the training packages that truly fit you and your dog, nothing more and nothing less. That kind of transparency is rare and really speaks to their professionalism. Ozzy is training to become a service dog, and the foundation they’re helping build is already making a huge difference. I’m so glad they were the first trainers I reached out to. If you want to better your dog while also becoming a better dog owner yourself, I would highly recommend them.

The whole team at Dog Training Elite Suncoast in Clearwater is amazing. From our intro session and all the way through training, we've felt confident in their methodology and results. You can feel their care and love for dogs in everything they do and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get their dog properly service animal trained. Thank you to Aaron, Ryan, Nadine, Jerry, and Kim!

Tonya has been an awesome trainer towards my pet, Cori and myself. She is very very caring. My pet cori loves Tonya very much. We consider Tonya as family. I highly recommend Ms Tonya.

We’ve had a great experience so far with Dog Training Elite Greater Tampa, especially working with Tonya. Even with just a few classes left, the progress Parker has made since starting training has been amazing. He’s more focused, responsive, and much more confident, and we’re already seeing a big difference in his behavior and obedience. Tonya is patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in Parker’s success. She explains everything clearly and makes sure we understand how to continue the training at home. Each session has been effective and tailored to Parker’s needs. We’re really happy with the results so far and excited to finish the remaining classes. Highly recommend Tonya and Dog Training Elite Greater Tampa to anyone looking for real results.

Worked with our schedule, making great progress with our dog

We have 2 boxer male littermates, one is deaf. We were having so many issues with their behavior, we were at out wits end! Then Tonya and Zack from Dog Training Elite Greater Tampa, came to our rescue. The transformation with our boxer boys has been amazing! We have learned so much together with our pups. We would highly recommend this training program for anyone who needs help and great training for their dog.

They are the best. It has been a wonderful experience.

Fabulous experience with the training! Highly recommended. Tonya gave us so many useful tips and techniques as well as follow up materials to help us remember what was learned from each session. I love that she came to our house to help us with our mini dachshund puppy Coco! Thanks again Tonya!

Elite Suncoast is an excellent training facility all the trainers are great trainers ! My English Lab was there and once done with his training course ,l was very happy with the outcome ! I would highly recommend them to everybody who needs their dog's trained. Thank you so much Jill and Wilson!

Wonderful to work with! Helped us get our big boy certified as a therapy dog!

Tonya and Zach have been great. They are so easy to work with and have been amazing with my puppy. Oakley has come so far at only 6.5 months old.

Amp is a success story! She started off scared of everything, we couldn’t even walk her past the neighbors house, and now she is a certified therapy dog! Tonya is amazing!! 10/10 would recommend!!

Tanya was great! Patient and so knowledgeable and was a great help in training my wild twin puppies. Now almost 6 months old. Always great suggestions and brought me small tools that assisted greatly in the training.

When my son was diagnosed with diabetes in February, I did some research on training a dog to becoming service Dog and found DTE. Tonya came and assessed our two year-old goldendoodle and we discovered she was the perfect candidate to be a service dog. The tools she gave us helped build the foundation and with our at-home work, she took off running and loves to work! Tonya really knows her stuff! She took my mostly well-behaved goldendoodle and shaped her into the most vital member of our family. Now our girl is very consistent with her alerts and we are forever thankful to Tonya and DTE. 10/10 forever recommend!!!

Tonya and Zach taught me how to get my aggressively biting, barking, out of control chihuahua into a sweet friendly obedient boy! And soooo fast! He can come to work, go in public, have visitors in the house, and I don’t have to worry about people being in danger. I can even get him to stop barking with his pack at the door or fence! I didn’t think this was at all possible and am so very grateful for their patience and knowledge! Strongly recommend!
