Positive Reinforcement Training


Read More
Read Less

Positive reinforcement is widely recognized as one of the most effective and humane methods for training puppies and adult dogs. This training approach focuses on rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones.

This method is especially beneficial for puppies as it helps them develop confidence and trust their owners from an early age. Rewards such as treats, praise, or toys encourage puppies to repeat good behaviors, making the learning process effective and enjoyable. For adult dogs, positive reinforcement is equally effective. It shapes desired behaviors and helps prevent the development of bigger issues like anxiety, aggression, or destructive tendencies.

Why Dog Training Elite is Committed to Positive Reinforcement

At Dog Training Elite, we believe dogs learn best when they feel secure, loved, and motivated. That’s why we incorporate positive reinforcement into all of our training programs. Our approach is based on the idea that rewarding good behavior leads to lasting results, helping your dog develop the skills they need to succeed in any environment.

By focusing on positive reinforcement, we teach your dog obedience and strengthen the bond between you and your pet, making the training experience rewarding for both of you. Whether you’re working on basic commands, advanced obedience, or addressing specific behavioral issues, our commitment to positive reinforcement ensures your dog’s training is effective and humane.

    As it was my first experience with the company and trainer it's hard to leave anything but a first impression. My first impression is that this is a professional company, with a clear goal, with a clear end game that they're able to express in a way that lets you know they ARE doing this with a clear plan on training your pup in just manners, but also get them certified to be out n about, but in my case help ME train my pupper a philosophy that I agree with. Great start and I think any updates will be positive!

    Matt was great. My Jake will lie down but kept bouncing to a sit position like a yo-yo. Matt showed me the ecollar control and to use the red button which I didn’t know what it was for. He gave me a few hints to do also when he was acting jealous and excited if a child was hugging me. Matt was so knowledgeable. Thank you Matt

    Alana said she was a newer trainer with the company. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. I feel like my son will be good with our dog Butter as a result. I did notice she talked very quickly. I thought it could possibly be that she was trying to convey all the information she wanted but in a shorter amount of time:

    Everyone has been ANAZING to work with. From scheduling and payment, to getting me additional information I needed to the actual training. Everyone’s been very supportive and knowledgeable, working with the different trainers has been great!

    Matt was great! Commands and homework demonstrated with easy understanding!! Our dog Gracie responded to our lead as hoped! Matt sees quickly my areas of frustration and he gave me the tools needed for our next success in training. Looking forward to next session!

    I had my training session w Laydon and she is wonderful. She is very friendly and easy to talk to. She ensures that you understand and answers any questions throughout the session. She is punctual and professional. She has suggested things that may help out with ME being able to “control”, (for lack of better wording), and fully train my feisty and sassy, but totally adorable, super smart, and sweet, 3.5 yr old Chihuahua pup, whereas Vivian, the pup, listens to my boyfriend with barely any issues at all. Laydon is great and we have asked for her as many times as she is available!

    Tina never barked @ Kurtis, she was very comfortable with him! Kurtis had many suggestions to improve Tina with her separation anxiety, one being to obtain a crate which I have done, waiting for delivery.

Our Balanced Theory

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in using a balanced approach for all of our training programs.

Here’s how our approach works:

We provide owners with the practical skills and knowledge needed to manage their dogs in any situation. Our hands-on training ensures owners feel confident and capable of continuing the training process independently.
Our programs are customized to the unique needs of each dog, taking into account factors such as breed, temperament, and specific behavioral issues. This personalized approach maximizes effectiveness and helps dogs reach their full potential.
We train dogs in familiar environments. Whether at home or in a public setting, we ensure the training is practical and relevant to everyday challenges. This ensures your dog behaves just as well in the doggy park as he does in the home.
Our commitment to you doesn’t end with the initial training program. We offer continued training and resources to help maintain and build on your dog’s progress, ensuring ongoing improvement for both you and your pet.
Training with Dog Training Elite is an investment in your dog’s long-term behavior and your peace of mind. Our programs lay the foundation for lifelong good behavior and strong bonds, providing lasting benefits for you and your canine companion.

In-Home Training

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to dog training, many facilities only offer group classes. While these classes can be beneficial in certain situations, they often fail to address specific behavioral issues and provide personalized attention. Group classes tend to focus on general obedience in a controlled environment, which may not accurately reflect your dog's real-life challenges at home.

Benefits of In-Home Training

At Dog Training Elite, we prioritize in-home training before introducing them to group settings. Here’s why in-home training is an important first step:

  • Training in a Familiar Environment: In-home training occurs where your dog spends most of their time. This familiar setting helps your dog feel secure and comfortable, making it easier for them to learn and retain new behaviors.
  • Personalized Attention: Our trainers focus on your dog's specific behavioral challenges, providing customized solutions. This one-on-one approach ensures your dog gets the attention they need to succeed.
  • Fewer Distractions: Unlike group classes, in-home training minimizes distractions, allowing your dog to focus better on the lessons. By eliminating the chaos of group environments, we can address behaviors more effectively.
  • Involvement of the Whole Family: In-home training encourages active participation from all family members. This collaborative approach ensures everyone is on the same page, reinforcing consistent commands and behaviors across the board.

At Dog Training Elite, we offer both in-home training and group classes. It’s important to note we only introduce your pup to group classes when our trainers and you feel comfortable doing so.

By working one-on-one with your pup before they meet other friends, we address the root causes of their behavior and ensure they are well-behaved in the place that matters most–your home.

For many dog owners, having a well-behaved dog that can be trusted off-leash is a top goal, but it’s not always easy to achieve. Off-leash obedience requires a high level of training, where your dog listens and responds, even in a distracting environment.

At Dog Training Elite, we specialize in Worcester off-leash training. Our programs are made to match each dog’s unique temperament and behavior, ensuring the training is both effective and long-lasting. With years of experience handling all types of dogs, Dog Training Elite helps you achieve confidence in your pet, whether on leash or off.
