    I am SO happy with our dog, Hank’s, quick turn-around!! He really needed some help with his manners, and Nathan was SO good with him!! He also did such a great job of explaining everything he was doing, why he was doing it, and how we can continue to work on it at home, as well as in different environments. He answered all our questions and took his time with us. My kids even joined in at times, and he was good with them as well. You can tell he’s passionate about his work, and that he really cares about the dogs and the families!! I am so thankful I hired these guys!!! 10/10 recommended!! ☺️

    Alex S is absolutely fantastic, she has come in and helped our situation out so much. Our dobie, Goose, likes to test his boundaries and we are able to overcome this easily. Not only this, he is thinking through his actions/ future actions which is making him a great dog! Highly recommend

    Quality training with quality people who care and work hard with us to make sure Skye can be the best service dog that she can be. I feel they are really in it with me for the long haul. Great family business that works together well and is teaching us how to be consistent and have fun.

    Christy and Taylor were fantastic to work with! They were incredibly patient with our puppy and always took the time to answer our questions. Their communication was excellent, and they were so supportive throughout the entire training process. We were amazed by how much our puppy grew and learned in such a short time. They also did a great job explaining the "why" behind their training methods, which gave us the confidence to continue reinforcing everything at home. We couldn't have asked for a better start with our new dog and highly recommend them!

    I can’t say enough great things about Sunnee. We have two dachshunds, one with prior training and one with none. Working with both of them at the same time has definitely been a challenge. Sunnee has been incredibly supportive, patient, and helpful throughout every session. She’s extremely knowledgeable when it comes to training dogs, and honestly, she’s just as good at training the humans too lol. We’ve already seen great progress and feel so much more confident continuing their training at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate trainer.

    Jason primarily helped us with leash manners for our newly adopted rescue pup. We’ve seen so much improvement so quickly and it has helped make walks more enjoyable for us all. He’s very generous with his time and happy to answer any and all questions as things come up. Highly recommend Jason!

    DTE is the best! I can't say enough about Kim, Aaron, & Jenna. They always go above & beyond and bring in real life experiences. Not only do they train your dog but they teach you how to reinforce what your dog has learned. So many people comment on how well behaved my dog is and I tell them it’s thanks to DTE.

    We can't say enough good things about Teddy's training experience here. Before training, Teddy struggled with high reactivity and walks, public outings were often impossible. Matt, Dom, Alaina were incredible and supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand Teddy's needs and gave us the tools and confidence to continue his progress at home. The transformation has been a complete 180. Teddy is calmer, focused, and walks are now enjoyable instead of challenging. The team genuinely cares about every pup they work with and are passionate about helping them succeed. We're so grateful for everything they've done for us!!!

    Mrs. Debbie is an absolutely amazing dog trainer! I can’t say enough good things about her knowledge, patience, and dedication. In 3 weeks, I’ve seen incredible progress with my puppy. The difference in her behavior and focus has been amazing, and it’s all thanks to Mrs. Debbie’s training techniques and genuine care for both Azula and me. She takes the time to explain everything, answers questions, and makes sure you’re confident continuing the training at home. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and wants us to succeed. If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, encouraging, and gets real results, I highly recommend Mrs. Debbie. Azula has come so far in such a short time, and I’m excited to see how much more she continues to grow. Thank you, Mrs. Debbie, for everything you’ve done for Azula!

    WOW what a great experience! I was skeptical at first as I thought our dog was untrainable. Our dog is a whippet mix and a handful, didn't listen, wouldn't follow simple commands, wouldn't walk on a leash, and we were at our wits end. We found Dog Training Elite in Fort Pierce and am so glad we did. After one week, he's a different dog. He's learned all the basic commands and is a pleasure to be around. The videos they send of his training sessions are fun to watch and the "how to" videos are a great follow-up after the training is completed. The trainers are so patient and take their time with your dog (and you). I wish we would have done this sooner. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite and wish I could give more than 5 stars.

    The Best decision we made for Cody and my family!! I honestly thought my dog, Cody, was untrainable. Cody is a 6-year-old, energetic Labrador Retriever who would pull us down the street every single time we went for a walk. We couldn’t take him to parks, he wouldn’t listen, and he had a hard time bonding with strangers. I truly believed that was just the way he was. Then we met Kevin. From the very beginning, Kevin was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly understanding. What amazed me most was how quickly he bonded with Cody. Seeing someone connect with my dog the way Kevin did gave me hope that things could actually change. Kevin took the time to teach both Cody and me in a way that was easy to understand and follow. He never made me feel overwhelmed and was always willing to answer questions and help us work through challenges. His patience with both of us was something I’ll always appreciate. One of Cody’s biggest challenges was being around other dogs. Walks were stressful because he would react whenever we passed another dog, and I was constantly worried about how he would behave. Kevin worked with us through those issues and helped Cody learn how to stay calm and focused. Now we can walk past other dogs with so much more confidence. Today, Cody walks perfectly by my side. The pulling is gone, his bad habits have improved tremendously, and he listens so much better. The difference in our daily lives is unbelievable. We can finally enjoy walks, trips to the park, and family outings without stress. It’s honestly been such a breath of fresh air!!🥹 Words can’t fully express how grateful I am for everything Kevin has done for us. When I say we tried everything for Cody before the training, I mean everything!! At one point, we even wondered if Cody had sudden rage syndrome because of the way he would act. Our neighbors thought he was a horrible dog and that he would never change, but Kevin saw something completely different in him.Before Kevin We tried no-pull leashes, anxiety medication for trips to parks and the vet, muzzles, different training methods, and everything else you can think of, and nothing worked at all!! If you’re considering training for your dog, I cannot recommend Kevin enough. I had so many doubts and fears that Cody would never change, but Kevin proved me completely wrong. Thanks to his patience, knowledge, and dedication, Cody is a completely different dog today. Thank you, Kevin, for helping me build a better relationship with my dog and making our lives so much easier. I will absolutely be recommending you to all of my friends and family! ❤️

At Dog Training Elite, we believe training in your home is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home methods allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

Our training approach minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of Training

Read More

  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
