The Benefits of Puppy Training

Our classes help your pup grow into a well-behaved dog. Here are a few benefits you can expect from choosing our elite training:

  • Deepen Your Bond With Your Puppy: Training your puppy – and continuing training with new tricks as they get older – is a great way to bond closely. Puppies have a natural desire to please and will learn to rely on you for guidance and direction, establishing a foundation of trust and love.
  • Socialize Your Dog: Obedience training, especially with group classes, helps dogs become comfortable and well-socialized around other dogs and people. This is important for when you want to take your dog on walks or invite people into your home.
  • Improve Your Dog’s Safety: Training your dog to listen and obey your commands will help them stay safe in any situation. Learning commands like “down,” “leave it,” “stop,” and “wait” can keep your dog safe from messing with dangerous things like electrical cords and other situations outdoors.
  • Provide Mental Stimulation: Good dogs can become bad dogs if they don’t have a way to work out physical and mental energy. Training as a lifelong pursuit is a great way to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged.

    Today, February 3rd was my first Elite Dog Training visit. There was 2 trainors that came, Kayla and Kristin. During the 90 plus minutes they were here was terrific. Their easy personalities made things so much easier to understand about how program works and the hands on approach used for my puppy’s first lesson was great. They were very thorough and quite knowledgeable. If my lessons from here on in are as good as today’s’ was than I will be so delighted that I chose Elite Dog Training. If Kayla and Kristen could possibly come back when possible that would e even better. Thank you Nancy Starbird

    What a fun week. This week was "down" which seems highly acheivable and can be added with other commands. Kurtis answered every question and was knowledgeable with canine behavior; mentioned situations we didnt even think of.

    We were referred to Dog Training Elite by a friend who had a great experience with them. Our dog struggled with reactivity toward men, and after trying multiple training options with no success, we were feeling stressed and discouraged. Matt worked with us over three sessions and made remarkable progress with our dog. He was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with reactive dogs. He provided practical guidance not only for training our dog, but also for helping the people around him create a calmer, safer environment and prevent bite incidents. His balanced approach combined positive reinforcement with E-collar redirection, and we’re incredibly grateful for his help.

    Marshall has helped us so much with our 7 month old amstaff Achilles. He knows so much about the breed and our boy is coming along nicely because of Marshall’s knowledge and expertise. We have learned so much and are so grateful for his help. We are going to have a well trained pitty after all! Thank you Marshall!

    Dog Training Elite was great. Layden was great with my puppy! Gave sound advice on feeding, crate training and potty training!! Can’t wait for our next lesson!

    We’re about halfway through our 1:1 training sessions and I couldn’t be happier with our experience so far. Laydon and Kristen have both been absolutely wonderful — kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The progress my pup, Pepper, has already made has blown me away, and I can truly see the difference in her behavior and confidence. Every session is very productive and also a lot of fun, which makes the whole process so enjoyable. They explain things clearly, are patient, and genuinely care about both the dogs and their owners. I’m really looking forward to completing the rest of our 1:1 sessions and starting group sessions soon. I would highly recommend Laydon and Kristen at Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for excellent dog trainers!

Training Essentials for Your Puppy

Here are a few puppy training tips from the expert team at Dog Training Elite! If you have any questions or want to see these methods in action, give us a call. We are more than happy to show you a demonstration and provide you with a glimpse of what our professional team can do!

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in positive reinforcement and yummy treats do the trick! We recommend a high-quality, berry-sized reward that your puppy will enjoy. Rewarding your dog while training teaches them that you approve of that behavior and maintains their motivation to perform well.
Because you’ll be handing out lots of treats, you will probably want a treat bag or pouch. There are many options out there with different sizes, shapes, and ways to carry. The benefit of getting a treat pouch is the ease of access and the ability to reward your puppy quickly. If you aren’t interested in getting a treat pouch, we recommend getting a small bag to carry you puppy’s rewards.
A clicker is a great tool to have along with rewards when training a puppy. With a clicker, you can immediately provide a positive sound when your dog performs a correct behavior, and then you can reward them with a treat. Pairing a clicker with treats is a great way to instill positive reinforcement because you teach your dog that they get a treat when they hear a click. You can buy many kinds of clickers at your local pet store, and they even have helpful clicker apps.
A good leash is another essential when bringing home a new puppy. We suggest a leash made of a durable material like leather and about 6 feet long to allow for comfortable room for both of you. Training your dog on a leash will set you up for fun walks in the future, keep your dog safe, and prevent them from getting lost while out of the house. It is also beneficial for an excited puppy who wants to run around and play while training.
You'll need a sturdy collar or harness to attach a leash while training. Deciding between a flat collar or body harness is up to your personal preference, but it is good to consider your dog's comfort and demeanor. A collar is necessary while training and for safety while out and about. A collar/harness is also the best place to attach the identification for your puppy. If anything happened to your dog, you'd be glad you had a collar with your information on it!
Getting a dog crate is a great way to housetrain your puppy. You will want to get a durable and safe crate for your dog that has enough room for them to be comfortable. You want the crate to be a place of calm and safety for your dog, not a punishment zone. Getting your puppy crate trained gives you a safe space in your home to keep them while they are unsupervised and also prevents unwanted behaviors like chewing or peeing inside.
