Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

Best dog trainers ever. I have worked with several other trainers. David and Kristin are by far the best.— Paul Edwards

Kristin, Jamie, David, and the other trainers have been great working with our 10 year old son and his dog spider.— Scott Koch

Both David and Kristen are amazing trainers. I had a horrible experience with another training company. They both validated what happened and why I was so hesitant to start a new program and I’m so glad that we did because Asher has grown tremendously. I’ve noticed a difference in his behaviors. They are both professional, and also very supportive with making sure that my pup is given the best quality service, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I highly recommend dog training elite you won’t be disappointed.— Brandi DeHaven

Kristen is incredible!! In just one session I see such an improvement. I love my dog and want to make sure he has the best chance at being out in the world with other dogs who might be reactive or worse. No bad dogs, just bad owners and I certainly didn't want to be one of those. I'm reassured that I chose the right training service and look forward to creating the best system for my fur baby and best friend. Can't recommend Kristin enough!— Sabine Sa

Our Sheltie is seven years old and pretty set in her ways. Her barking inside and outside of the house has grown to be such a problem. We have been with David and Kristen for just four weeks now and the barking has noticeably improved, not to just us but others that visit. In addition, she will come, sit and place on command. Not 100 per cent yet, but certainly so much better than she was. One can tell that David and Kristen truly love the animals they are training and want the dog to succeed. Their enthusiasm and kindness are evident and so well received by our dog. From the results we have seen in our dog so far, we can highly recommend DTE for yours!— Don

Kristen and David have been amazing to work with. They have been patient with any questions I have. They ensure that I’m comfortable with each new session during and after each session. The techniques that they share are respectful and kind to both me and Minnie. I look forward to working with them on our training journey.— Donna Yaffe

David & Kristen have been phenomenal to work with us and our Goldendoodle, Ginger. In three short lessons, Ginger has learned so much. So thankful for their thoughtful and consistent approach to training! I am excited about the additional training upcoming for Ginger.— Mariilyn Fooshee

The professionalism, the trainers, their joy in watching the dogs succeed is hands down this best part of DTE. I truly don’t know who was more excited for training days or group training, Delilah or us. Great people, worth the time and definitely worth the money. Thanks DTE! Each one of you are an answer to our prayers and a gift from God Himself. Thank you for what you do!—

Hands down! Best trainers around! Day 1 I saw a huge improvement in hours. They come to your home on the dogs turf. My life is much calmer and Moose is much happier since I started with them. Every day gets better and better. This is what owning a dog is supposed to be like. The CLE is always available if needed. Highly recommend. Don’t hesitate.—

Kristen and David have been working with us and our 6 month old Vizsla named “Bristol”. We are on a journey that may last another 18 months. Bristol is my service dog and will assist me with my balance. Prior to starting our training with Dog Training Elite I researched many different types of training to include sending my dog off for months. Being a Veteran I knew that was not for me. Bristol is not only my service dog but also apart of our family. The fact that Dog Training Elite offers to train in our home is a large reason why I choose them to lead us on this training journey. Now when David or Kristen come to our home for training Bristol and our 8 year old Weimaraner Chloe are excited to see them. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite for your training needs.— Tom Payne

James Mulvaney 5 Jul 2023 David came today for our final obedience class and we couldn’t be more pleased with where Baylee is at. She understands the commands and responds immediately and at 5 months old is ready to move on to the service dog training classes.. With the DTE program we feel the results will be everything we expect and could hope for. Highly recommend this program to anyone who wants their dog to be treated by caring professionals—

Kristen is wonderful in helping with our dog we are getting service training. She is patient and very relaxed. She took the time to make sure my son was involved in the training and understood! We can’t wait to continue using them!— Alyse Grzymala

They have been amazing throughout this entire process. I highly recommend them! They come to you at your convenience for training which has been a life saver. Our dog loves them and has been learning quickly. He is being trained for service and we couldn’t be happier.—

DTE has helped our family so much as we’ve worked with them on my brothers service dog. The help and guidance they provide is game changing and allows Colton to have an increased level of independence while making him being out in the world less anxiety inducing for the rest of us!— Bailey Nutter

Kristin and David are amazing. My dog was driving me crazy! He was destroying our home and our lives. I’m just a few short weeks, we have went from complete chaos to calm! The trainers even felt like they became part of our family. Completely worth the money!— Dr. K Miller

I cannot recommend them enough! We’ve seen results from the very first session. Our dog loves them as does my son. They come to you and work around your schedule which has been such a blessing! They also host awesome group sessions. Worth every penny!!!— Jessi Cruz
