Expert Puppy Trainers

Marcus was very professional, on time, and accomplished our goals for our session.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Stephany, Ramiro and the team are so great! They took on two of our puppies at once! Both dogs will be service dogs and they worked very hard to understand the needs of our 2 sons so that they could train the dogs for them as individuals! They were VERY patient with the humans too! They are helping us work through all situations with respect and patience. They also do an AMAZING job work with my son who has severe anxiety! They made him feel confident and heard! Although everyone has been amazing, Marcy, Tina and Mitch worked very hard to prepare them during their days at the facility. Marcy has done the after visits and continues to be SO supportive and accommodating to our family's needs. BRAVO to the team at Dog Training Elite! Excited to see the growth that we will all see in the next steps of our training!

Jessica is amazing!! She is so patient with my Pixie.

I'm training a service dog with Dog Training Elite, and everyone has been great! They're very knowledgeable and explain everything in a way that makes sense. They've helped me through the whole process, from finding a dog through the training. I'd highly recommend them!

Tiffany was great with Eddie. She was quickly able to understand what type of training Eddie would need and gave very good suggestions and recommendations.

This company has really helped my dog's and my own confidence through our path to seizure alert and response training! Obedience training has come in clutch!

We adopted our precious little bundle of joy at 8 weeks old. He came home and it was absolute chaos!!!!! Biting, chewing furniture, Zoomies he did it all 🥺 my husband and myself we were at our wits end and thought we had made the biggest mistake of our lives. However, we were referred to Dog Training Elite. We met with the owner Grant who told us what we would expect and how our dog would begin to behave. In just a matter of weeks we had a completely different puppy (a puppy that we absolutely adored and fell in love with) he is very well mannered and has a much better temperament all thanks to Grant and Rivers trainer Taylor ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this place is a 10 out of 10 if you want to love your dog I am speaking from experience because I did not love mine and I am embarrassed to say that now 🥺 but 100% thanks to them we have an excellent dog and he's still just a puppy he couldn't be any more well-behaved ❤️

Very impressed with the way Bailey handled my dog.

DTE St. Louis is absolutely phenomenal. When our rescue pup (a male pitbull mix) was around a year and half, we realized as first-time dog owners that we needed professional support. Matt and the DTE Team met with us for 2 free consults as we decided between the service dog training and obedience training. After our pup had a traumatic incident with another dog while we were away and we began struggling immensely with dog reactivity (e.g., barking and lunging on leash), Matt tailored the 3-week in-faculty obedience training specifically to our needs surrounding reactivity, impulse control, and hypersensitivity. Matt, Dom, Jon, Alex, and the entire DTE Team have been incredible with us throughout this process. They made sure to explain from the beginning that though we can regulate a dog’s behaviors through training, we cannot completely change a dog’s personality, which helped us understand our pup better as we worked to strengthen the ways in which we communicate with him and assess his needs/stress levels. Within the 3 weeks of in-facility training, we saw massive improvements in neutrality while on walks in our neighborhood, and it only got better once we began attending Saturday and Monday obedience group classes. DTE focuses not just on teaching your dog, but on teaching you, as the dog’s handlers, how to effectively communicate with your dog. They use a balanced approach that includes an emphasis on your body language, lots of positive reinforcement, and importantly, the setting of clear expectations and boundaries (e.g., with e-collar training). The DTE Team excels in assessing each individual dog’s needs and adapting when the situation calls for it. To give you an example, group class is very challenging for our dog-selective pup. The first few months went well, but after a stressful period of travel, our pup regressed a bit and began barking and lunging more both on walks and in group class. The trainers worked with us to adjust how much space we gave our pup during class, and modified the way he participated in group activities so that he could remain under his emotional threshold before we asked him to do more challenging exercises again. DTE has given us a safe space to implement all that we’ve learned during training and to receive support as we navigate the difficult journey of counter-reactivity training with a pup we love tremendously. It is not easy, and we are still working towards our goal of neutrality around other dogs, but I went from experiencing debilitating panic while taking my pup for a 10-minute walk before the DTE training, to walking him for hour+ periods in more public places with confidence, both in my leadership skills and in his ability to make the right choices. And for reference, we are about 6 months into training using the DTE methodology. For anyone struggling with these types of reactivity issues, I cannot recommend DTE highly enough. Thank you to the entire DTE Team!!! We wouldn’t have made it this far without your unyielding support.

Very happy with this special session. Now I'll work on the things she showed me.

Neil is an awesome trainer. Our German Shepard is showing such great progress. This dog went from wanting to eat you to such a well behaved boy. Neil brought 2 other trainer last session an Cosmos barked twice , We gave him the comand and he settled down and one of the other trainers got to work with him and Cosmos did so well. That was such a HUGE difference. We are so thankful for Neil and his team.

I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Larissa. She was outstanding—kind, knowledgeable, and truly gifted at what she does. Our dog, who we honestly thought might be too old to learn new tricks (or even just basic good behavior), responded incredibly well to her approach. It was a pleasure having Larissa come to our home week after week. Having in‑home training—especially since we live 50 minutes outside of Green Bay—was such a huge benefit and made the entire process so much easier for us. Five stars to Elite Dog Training, and an extra‑bright 5+ stars to Larissa!

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.

Red was a huge help to us! He was so patient and kind while helping us work with our very reactive dog. Definitely recommend.

Excellent experience!

Overall, I highly recommend this trainer to anyone looking for effective, compassionate dog training. The results were noticeable, and my dog is now more confident, obedient, and happy.

Larissa was the BEST! She worked with our dogs, Honey and Bane on basic obedience and some reactivity to other dogs. Our dogs are SO much better now. One of our favorite things we worked on was “place”so our dogs would sit on our couch when someone came over and they wouldn’t greet them until we release them. We also enjoyed working with our dogs to be more neutral while walking. When training dogs, you also have to train the owners and Larissa did a great job navigating the situation when we had some stressful training sessions. Sometimes our dogs were being stubborn and my fiancé and I were both getting frustrated. But Larissa calmed us both down and we were able to have a productive session. Larissa is very patient and always very positive. We looked forward to our sessions each week. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Our experience with Dog Training Elite Orlando has been incredible. Eros started in the Platinum program and now we are continuing with the Service Dog program, and we have truly seen an impressive transformation in his behavior, obedience, and confidence. What makes this place special is the quality and dedication of their trainers. Chelsea, Cheyenne, Logan, and Emily have been absolutely wonderful. They are always patient, professional, and it’s clear that they truly love what they do. They have guided us step by step and are always willing to answer questions and help us improve as handlers. The training doesn’t focus only on the dog; they also teach the owner how to properly work with their dog to maintain long-term progress. Thanks to their support.

Debbie was very patient and explained things very well so we understood what she was doing and why
