Elijah did a great job of explaining the various packages to me and answering all my questions. You could tell he’s a real dog person. He even brought his own dog which has been trained using CDT’s methods to show me how my dog will be trained!

Matt has been fantastic! We are learning so much and seeing huge results with our dog. Matt has been teaching us to focus on our dog’s needs and to manage our expectations. Our dog is very agressive towards other dogs and today Matt brought his dog out to use as a distraction and to teach us how to handle our dog in real situations with another dog nearby. The progress is unbelievable. Highly recommend!

We are beyond grateful for the talented trainers at Elite. Our furry baby is excelling and we could not be where we are with him without them!

Always a pleasure to work with Meggie!!

Dominique at Dog Training Elite is amazing! From day one, she was patient, professional, and genuinely caring—not just for my dog, but for me as an owner too. She tailored training to my dog’s personality and needs, and also taught tasks for PTSD and anxiety that have been incredibly helpful for both my Whiskey boy and myself. Thanks to Dominique, I’ve seen amazing progress in behavior, obedience, and confidence. She makes training fun and rewarding, and her follow-up support shows she truly cares about long-term results. If you want a trainer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled in behavior and therapeutic training, Dominique is the one to call. Highly recommend!

Our assessment of Buddy went well. Now on to lessons and practice and hope all is successful. The program sounds good.

I’ve been really impressed with my first two sessions! These guys know their stuff and are clearly experts. I’m already seeing results and can’t wait to see how this progresses. Also really excited DTE will be bringing my dogs to my wedding. Super comforting having expert handlers for our big day.

Great job working with our dog at home and out in public? Went with the service package to get extra training and well worth it. Very patient with hyper Doberman puppy. Flexible schedule and accommodated some last minute changes due to puppy mishaps. Very highly recommend.

Dominique is wonderful! Belle has learned so much in these past few weeks. She is doing so well not only Belle but, I have learned a lot. I highly recommend Dominique as a trainer. She has a lot of in-point, patience and extremely helpful. I especially like the one on one training. I am very happy with Dog Training Elite and Dominique. Thank you!

Our trainer Payton has been amazing with our German Shepherd Bella. She has been patient with Bella and strict when needed. Our Bella has shown so much progress since starting her program all thanks to Payton. Payton is aslo very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions and concerns. While also helping us be better when it comes to Bella's training. Thank you so much!!!!

Jessica always does a great job!

Magie is slowly turning an over the top wild reprobate into a responsible citizen. One week and it's night and early morning, not quite day yet. Following him with a pooper scooper has finally stopped..it's a good thing he is so cute.

Trainer is great very patient with adults that can rush things they haven’t worked with. Seems expensive although at the end of training perhaps we won’t consider putting our pet up for adoption

Words cannot explain how thankful we are for Josh and his team. We did the 8 week obedience package and it was worth every penny. Our dog has had history of aggression and reactivity and it’s as if he’s a whole new dog. He’s calm, happy, confident and overall enjoying life with us again. Josh not only trained our dog but us as well. On how to be good owners, listen to cues, be strict in our training and grow trust with each other. His tactics and knowledge in training were extremely impressive and incredible to observe. We did in home lessons and even met out at different public spaces to help assist our training. Our dog was so excited everytime he got to be with Josh. He has a way with animals that made me trust in him that much more. We enjoyed our time with his dog Lilo as well, she was incredible and so talented (sorry you were the bait Lilo lol). It makes my heart so happy to know we made this decision and our dog is better off for it. If I could change anything it would be signing our boy up with Josh sooner. Thank you Josh and the Dog Training Elite Team for everything. Love, Taylor, Bryan and Kliff

We had a great conversation. Very informative and straightforward. Thank you!

I am incredibly happy to have found Josh and his team at Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland. The depth of knowledge and experience combined with patience and the ability to explain not only the process but also how and why, has made all the difference in MY confidence to train our oldest. Throughout our sessions communication was always clear and empathetic, and the expertise shown in basic obedience lessons really made a clear picture for our dog. I’ll be using the skills Dog Training Elite has given me to train my younger pup (as well as future dogs) which makes the value of this package exponential!! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top‑notch dog trainer in Cleveland.

From the moment I sent the initial request email, to Parker showing up the very next day, the entire experience has been wonderful! We chose the Platinum package and already have our first appointment scheduled this week!! I’ve already picked up a few techniques to help with our dog’s patience, and they’re already working! Our main challenge has been barking—especially at other dogs, whether they’re walking by or on TV. Our dog isn’t aggressive at all, just excited and a bit overly talkative. We’re really excited to continue working with Parker and the rest of the team to help make life a little quieter (and calmer) for everyone!!!
