Puppy Socialization Classes in Utah County, UT

Bringing a new puppy home comes with a lot of responsibilities, from potty training to vet visits and teaching basic obedience. With so much to manage, it’s easy to overlook socialization. However, those first few weeks are crucial for helping your puppy grow into a well-behaved and confident dog.

Proper socialization introduces your puppy to new sights, sounds, and experiences, helping them become more confident and preventing unwanted behaviors. One of the best ways to socialize your puppy is through puppy socialization classes in Utah County, UT. At Dog Training Elite, we offer safe, guided sessions where your puppy can interact with other dogs and people.

The Importance of Puppy Socialization

Read More
Read Less

Socialization should be prioritized in the early stages of a puppy's life. Group puppy training classes are a great place to safely introduce them to new friends while teaching behavioral skills to help them appropriately respond. Owners who take their puppies to professional training acquire the tools to use positive reinforcement and redirection to help their young dogs know what to do in new circumstances.

Too often, owners and dogs become frustrated when they cannot communicate, leading to poor behaviors and habits that are harder to fix later in a dog's life. Our trainers will work with you and your puppy to help strengthen the bond between you and ensure you have a happy home with your four-legged best friend. Request a free in-home assessment today!

Utah County Puppy Socialization

Benefits of Early Puppy Socialization Sessions

Read More
Read Less

First-time dog owners are often unsure of when to begin training their dogs. Starting socialization with your puppy as early as possible will give them the best chance of learning that new things aren't bad or scary. When a puppy is not allowed to desensitize and get comfortable with new sights, sounds and smells, they may become overly fearful and unwilling to try something new, which creates a very small and scary world for them.

Give your puppy the best chance at a happy and exciting life with our Dog Training Elite Utah County puppy socialization sessions! Our trainers will help your puppy safely engage with new dogs, people, and experiences so they can grow up to be confident and curious dogs.

    They are always wonderful and understanding. We have a rescue that has some behavior issues, we have used trainers from big box stores and professional trainers. We have had the most success with Dog Training Elite! Some of what we learned at the big box store classes enforced bad behavior masking it as part of the learning. Should have started at Dog Training Elite!

    We have worked with Meagan and Deidre so far. We are only a few weeks into our training but it is clear that Dog Training Elite Utah County know their stuff. It has been such a positive experience. I looked forward to our future training sessions and can’t wait to learn more from this amazing group of trainers.

    Evan, Ryan and Deidre have been amazing! We had so much chaos and lack of structure for our dogs, and they have given us relief and resources. They have done all of the hard work in teaching new behavior to our dog, and then taught us how to continue the training. It has made all the difference in our lifestyle. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to everyone.

    Deidre took the time to go over all of our questions during our consultation. She worked well with our Great Dane and we already learned things even during our consultation. Thanks Deidre!

    Dog Training Elite has been absolutely phenomenal. I first started working with them to help my dog Nico become a service dog. Throughout the process, he and I have both grown more confident in what we do. The trainers have given me and showed me the tools to help Nico and I need to succeed. They are extremely knowledgeable and patient. One thing I value most is, they aren't just training the dog, they are training me as well.

    My experience so far has been amazing. I’m beyond happy with Deidre Wilson! She has been amazing with my Doberman and has such a natural connection with my entire pack. Deidre is not only talented but also takes the time to explain everything, educating me and giving me the confidence to succeed with my Doberman. I couldn’t ask for a better dog trainer! Kaycee is also fantastic, always patient and flexible with our schedule, making the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend them both and their staff.

    Follow up 6 months later-Reggie had some continued training to learn to fetch things for his girl, and is absolutely incredible at it thanks to Evan and his team!..We also took a trip to Florida with Reggie. First flight with him, Disney World, and Universal Studios for ten days straight. He did absolutely remarkable, and most people didn’t even realize we had a dog with us until they noticed his Minnie ears. He was able to ride several rides with his girl, and did incredible! Elite dog training is the absolute best of the best!!! We have a service dog for my 9 year old, and between Evan, and Kaycee I couldn’t ask for better people to work with! They have gone absolutely above and beyond to help our pup do any, and everything possible to help our daughter live the most independent life despite her chronic health problems. The amount of time, and work they have put into Reggie these last two years is astounding. Because of them Reggie is able to spend countless weeks in the hospital with my 9 year old, he goes to school with her everyday, and goes everywhere she goes. He is by far the best dog ever because of the incredible people at Elite. You can absolutely tell the people at Elite love what they do! 5 stars is not enough to describe what an incredible company this is!! We LOVE Utah County Elite dog trainers!!
