Group Dog Training Class Schedule
Please Note: Group Classes are for Dog Training Elite Clients Only
Dog Training Elite offers small dog training classes after obedience training is completed and only once a dog is fully immunized. Dog obedience classes in Tampa are held on a consistent basis and are included in most packages. Our dog obedience training classes are designed to place yourself and your dog in public places (surrounded by other dogs, people, smells, and sounds), so that you can train your dog to obey you... regardless of the many distractions screaming for their attention!
Why Are Group Dog Training Classes Important?
- Provide Socialization
- Training Practice in Distracting Situations
- Fun and Friendly Community Building
- Small and Highly Personable
- For all Breeds and Sizes
- Included in Most Packages
- Basic Obedience Training Required
- Only for Fully Immunized Dogs
Classes are a mix of all dog breeds and sizes, and our classes provide necessary socialization skills and practice around high levels of distraction. We like to make our group classes exciting for both dogs and handlers, we have created fun training games and an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing. We are building a community and our dog training groups tend to feel like a family and less like a dog training group. Friends are made, bonds are formed, and both dogs and dog owners look forward to their once a week group training sessions.

I first started looking for training for my puppy because I want him to eventually become a service dog. The training he’s been given has not only improved his behavior, but it’s also given me the tools I need to practice and train with him on my own. My puppy went from not listening and going potty in the house, to behaving even when I’m not giving commands. I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to handle my new dog, and this service gave me confidence that he could become a well behaved pup.— Joselyn Hernandez

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Suncoast and would refer them to anyone without hesitation!! They are professional, caring, knowledgeable trainers and we were extremely happy with our entire experience. We were very close to rehoming our French bulldog Luke due to his aggressive nature, but thanks to Aaron, Ryan and Kim...we still have our pup and he is so much better than before!! They worked wonders with Luke and also taught us (as his owners) so much. We are thankful that we chose Dog Training Elite Suncoast for our training needs...they are absolutely awesome!!— Rebecca Phillips

Elite Training has helped us tremendously with our dog. She was always a good dog but she is so much more obedient now then she was before we started with them. We have had several people compliment on how well-behaved our dog is. Thank you so much for helping us get her to the point she is now.— Deborah Williamson

Working with you was an incredible experience. Working on a 6 year old dog, I thought was impossible, I was wrong. Now Kooper is amazing and he is my service dog. Kooper learned many new things and lost bad old habits. I can do anything with him, even without a leash. For whatever needs you have with your dog, I recommend Tonya ad Luis, they are amazing.— Francesca Ciancio

Very knowledgeable and extraordinarily patient with dog and client. Tailored the training to our specific needs. Always on time with organized lesson plans. Truly a dog-changing experience. Thank you Tonya.— Ed Mandel

These words are not enough to thank Tonya for what she did with our beloved Sheepadoodle Teddy! She started teaching him the basics (sit, off, stay, place, heel, down) and being so smart that helped us to teach him a few extra commands like "paw", "watch". "high five". Teddy is a lovable puppy but has TONS of energy which gives him frequent "zoomies" or burst of enthusiastic desire to play, run, and jump over us and being big and heavy, by accident tends to push or pulls us really hard. Tonya has been able to teach him (and us!) to manage these bursts of energy and he is way calmer than before (and at the moment I'm writing this he is still a 8-month old BIG and HEAVY puppy (a bit over 60 lbs). THANKS TONYA for your continuous help, for being so caring and dedicated for your job. She is a natural animal lover so she does her job with that in mind: LOVE. THANK YOU!!— Steven Padin-Aquino, P.E.

Took Isla all the way to a fully qualified service animal. All I get is comments on how well behaved she is.— Kevin E

I could not recommend the Dog Training Elite Suncoast team more! Kim, Ryan, and Aaron are so attentive to your needs and your dog’s needs. They go above and beyond to make you feel confident in yourself, which translates to confidence when working with your dog! They all bring such a positive outlook to the training sessions that I constantly found myself looking forward to the next one and they always treat you like their family. You will absolutely be making the right decision if you decide to work with them!— Grace Steinhauser

Ryan and Kim offer the best in dog obedience training! Our little Boston Terrier Rue was suffering from intense separation anxiety and was assessed by Ryan and Kim as perhaps the most stubborn girl they had ever met. She was about one and half years old when we got started with the process and we definitely made progress. About two months into the training she began to be very reactive to other dogs and became a little aggressive. Dog Training Elite's entire staff shifted the strategy and went above and beyond with a personal commitment to success. Rue is now a much calmer, happier dog we are very satisfied with the way she has developed.— Gordon Wilder

Dog training elite has been key to Nala’s training journey. It helped me to connect and understand her behaviors and how to properly train her for the long run. Ryan and Kim have been very professional in answering all of our questions and even providing recommendations. I’ve been witness of how they’re like this with everyone one else in the group. I feel that we hit the jackpot with Dog Training Elite Tampa.— Aurora Torres

I am more than pleased with Dog training Elite trainers Ivette and Raul, they are more than happy to work with your dog and will instruct and give you the right information to work with your dog, Maia started when she was 6 months and she’s a working progress with flying colors. Absolutely amazing how fast she learns all it takes is consistency. Will recommend this training program to anyone.— Michelle Pons Santiago

Kim, Ryan, and Aaron are the best dog trainers. They are very patient both with my Frenchie and me! If you need a specific area that needs work, they are there for you and your dog. People continually comment on how well behaved my little Frenchie is, especially for his age; he is now 1 1/2 years old and began his training when he was 9 months old. Jackson is now a certified service dog and it's all thanks to Dog Training Elite Suncoast.— Deb Barrett

Kim and Ryan were amazing with our Pitbull who was protective of me even at the expense of my wife, kids and visitors. Within a couple of sessions our dog was sitting, heeling, laying down, placing and obey our commands. It has brought us all much relief and enjoyment with our dog Radley! Thank you Kim and Ryan.— Cleary Calendar

Kim has been amazing. In the first week of training Athena was 75% more behaved. She’s patient with Athena. We look forward to training days. Can’t wait to see how much Athena grows with the rest of the training. If you’ve been looking for someone to train your baby. Don’t look any further! They are amazing— Kristy Grosse

We have had a great experience with Dog Training Elite Suncoast. They are helping us train our stubborn Great Pyrenees to become less reactive and down a path to a happier home life for everyone. We have had no issues and continue to go to trainings as much as possible. Each member of the team is knowledgeable and patient with every dog.— Nick Mclachlan

This Training has been such a positive experience for both myself, and my 4yo Newfoundland Cole. The trainers are positive in all their direction,and also take the time to laugh at some of Cole's silly antics. They are also great at communication such as answering any questions when "not" in training class. Cole has made great progress with their program. I priced and met with other trainers prior to selecting Elite, and they were the most professional and give you the most 'bang for your buck '. I would not hesitate to recommend Elite to anyone.— D Kay

Wow I found this trainer by luck. Now I say it was destiny. There was no mistake. I wanted to get a dog I didn’t own yet trained but I had certain criteria that had to be met. I wanted a service dog for PTSD but the trainer had to be a female. Kim had no hesitation for my request. After about 5 sessions kim asked if she could bring her son as Queso did t want to heal. I have to say I trust Aaron as much as Kim. If you need your dog trained this is the company to go with. A+ service.— Susan Hetherton
