Evan Sutton - Owner
Evan Sutton
Owner

Hi, I’m Evan Sutton! After my service in the military, I was looking for something that was fun and rewarding. After applying through the Malinois Foundation to get a service dog, I realized dog training was that thing. I am currently the lead dog trainer and love building up my clients and team to reach their full potential.

Some fun facts about me: I’m 6’8” and a big teddy bear. I love riding motorcycles and off roading. I have 5 dogs: 2 Belgian Malinois, 1 Frenchie, 1 Bug (Boston Terrier/Pug), and a Dachshund. I am commonly known around the office as a Disney princess because all animals seem to flock to me…I’m not mad about it.

Head Trainer

Hi, I’m Deidre Wilson! With the help of awesome family and friends I sought out a dog trainer to train my Doberman to be a service dog for me. I found DTE and loved building up my training skills and how much of a difference my pup made. I joined the team to help others, reach their full potential with their dog and get their lives back just like I did.

Some fun facts about me: I’m average height but my hair makes me a few inches taller. I love lifting weights with my all time best at 500lbs for a single back squat. And no I don’t squat that much anymore but can get kinda close. I have just my one pup for now but am hoping to add another Doberman soon!

Hello! My name is Meagan Ahlstrom and I've always loved being around animals, especially dogs. I knew I wanted to work with animals and I started out as a dog bather in 2021 and have been grooming dogs since 2022. I wanted to further my dog repertoire so I seeked out dog training and found DTE! I love working with all the different types of dogs and especially love helping out at group class.

Fun things about me: I did woodworking for 4 years and have made several furniture pieces, I have a Pomeranian Chihuahua mix who I competed with in dog agility, and I love plants!

Hi my name is Kaycee Pullman! I am a mother of three incredible children and three incredible pups.

Working for DTE I have been able to embrace my love for dogs and bettering people's lives.

    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.

    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!!
