George at Dog Training Elite Twin Cities was recommended to me by a breeder I respect. George had trained several of his dogs and he was very satisfied and encouraged me to call him. When I contacted George, I found him to be business like, prompt in returning texts, and patient and encouraging when working with me and Millie (my yellow lab puppy). I've been pleased with the training Millie and I have received. George really got to know the personality of Millie and helped me work on some of the behavior concerns I had with her. Now, after 10 weeks of in home training, she's become a sweet, obedient 9 month old puppy.I would highly recommend George at Dog Training Elite Twin Cities. He's a great guy.

These trainers are amazing!! They know their stuff!!They love dogs!! Jeff was great today with the Service Training

Julia has been amazing working with us and our Cane Corso puppy

Dog Training Elite has been nothing short of incredible. I honestly can’t say enough good things about their team and the results they’ve helped us achieve. When we started, my dog had plenty of areas that needed work—but through their structured training, patience, and clear guidance, everything changed. They don’t just train your dog—they teach you how to communicate effectively, which made all the difference. The trainers are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about your dog’s success. What really stands out is the transformation. My dog has gone from needing direction to being confident, obedient, and reliable in a variety of environments. Thanks to Dog Training Elite, he’s now at the point where he’s ready to take a therapy dog test—which I never would have imagined before starting. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This program works. It’s an investment that pays off in every aspect of your dog’s behavior and your relationship with them. Highly recommend.

Hi my name is Jackie and I have a 18 month old Rottweiler named Nova. I rescued her June 2025 from a Facebook add, she was covered in wounds and was living outside with a bunch of other dogs in a small gravel lot. She had never been inside, around people or experienced the world so she came to me very nervous and anxious. After about 6 months of getting to know her and bringing her around to new environments and people I began to notice an escalation in her response to meeting new people which went from cowering and hiding to lingering and nipping and it was impossible for strangers to be in the house and I no longer could bring her to work. Unsure how to help her I started researching and decided to meet with Chris! He was so kind and answered all of my questions and concerns. I was then paired with Karly for training and boy is she a wealth of knowledge!!! In just two sessions we have made HUGE GAINS! Yesterday she laid in her place cot with all of the distractions and triggers of Chris walking around the house and doing things that would normally trigger her. By the end of the session she was completely relaxed and unconcerned of what was happening around her and focused on me. I could cry I am so happy! If you are looking for compassionate, caring, and highly experienced and knowledgeable trainers look no further!

We did a lot of research on dog trainers before landing on Dog Training Elite. We are so pleased with the team, the process, and the tools they gave us through out the whole process. We had a lot of questions during the intake process and the team was extremely helpful. As the weeks went on and we learned more about our two dogs, the staff was always there to answer any dog care related questions! They made it extremely easy to book sessions and came to our house. After 5 sessions I can confidently say both our dogs have done a 180! I look forward to continuing their training in the group classes. I can't recommend this team enough.

The Trainers at Dog Trainihg Elite Central Nashville have been phenomenal. My dog, Friend Lee D(awg) is a very sensitive Kerry Blue Terrier who is so grateful I took the leap to get myself trained 🤣 Each trainer has been cordial, professional, quite knowledgeable in their training of Friend Lee. There is awesome communication with calls, texts, and appointment reminders. They have been patient with me and my dog -- very firm, gentle and consistent in their positive approaches. Friend Lee D is a totally new and improved dog. My family immediately noticed how calm and obedient he is. Friend Lee now has commands, assignments and purpose. We both know what we're doing and feel a sense of peace and calm. Our stars align!. I am grateful for entire Dog Training Elite team. Thank you all for your excellence! ~Jackie Grace

Matt was excellent. Really took his time to help me understand the basics I need to know and was thorough and clearly extremely knowledgable.

The trainers at Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville were extremely helpful and wonderful to work with! Incredible patience, highly knowledgeable, and top-notch professionalism throughout. Clear and consistent communication helped us achieve amazing progress with our dog, couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Jessica always does a great job!

Always great and caring

Nathan is my trainer for my German Shepherd puppy, he is very knowledgeable and excellent at working with dogs. Very flexible schedule, professional company, it’s been years since I had a puppy and knew I needed help. I would highly recommend using them for your dog’s training needs!

I'm so grateful I found Danielle! My dog, Nami, and I went through some traumatic events that resulted in Nami becoming very reactive and protective. She was always a super chill, obedient dog even as a puppy. I tried retraining her with previous methods I had learned from a different trainer, went and saw a dog behavioralist, and so much more. When we started working with Danielle, it only took a few weeks before Nami started to calm down and for the first time since we had moved to our new home, she relaxed. The way Danielle trained Nami was also a great bonding experience for us. I love her method of starting off with at-home training and then attending group classes. I had always thought Nami could become a service dog and Danielle also helped her become one! Danielle is always on time and very communicative, which is such a bonus! I already recommended her to multiple friends and a few of them have worked with her already and have nothing but good things to say!

I’ve had 4 dogs and Tom has been by far the best trainer I’ve ever had. He is organized and has a gentle approach to training. My 8-year old dachshund mix (who we thought just wasn’t the brightest bulb but turned out after we met Tom to just be stubborn) has thrived with Tom’s training. My dog, Alejandro, enjoys his time with Tom - he’s come so far. Highly recommend Tom and Dog Training Elite Louisville.

Brad has done a great job so far getting our German Shephard to listen to commands and be less reactive in a few scenarios we specifically hired them to resolve. We look forward to the public classes with the other dogs in training and would recommend Dog Training Elite locally. We have seen Einstein progress with a consistent and deliberate training schedule and we as owners have learned skills to enable him to succeed after training as well. Would highly recommend!

Completed my first session. I really like the approach to training and my dog seemed to respond really well to it. Looking forward to continued training with Rich and Sarah.

Danielle and Shelby are such great dog trainers! We got one on one classes to start and Brooks graduated to group classes and there has been so much growth since working with Dog Training Elite. I highly recommend.

George helped me a TON with training my dog so I can have a solid groundwork of obedience training before I start teaching him tasks to be a psychiatric service dog. He was always available to answer questions and was very patient. We would practice near my home or at Scheels, which was great because it was convenient for my schedule. I also liked learning how to use the e-collar. It's been a game changer for taking my dog on hikes with me!
