    Justin arrived at my house according to the schedule. After hearing and observing the issues we have, he demonstrated with his dog the outcomes we expect to accomplish. He was very professional. He identified issues with both my dogs that we will work to improve.

    Larissa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was patient when working with us and took our aggressive corgi and whipped him into shape. Who would have thought with a little obedience training we would have a whole new dog!

    Steve is a really good instructor! The dogs took to him right away and instructions easy to follow. The dogs caught on quickly and easy to follow through for the remainder of the week. Highly recommend this form of dog training.

    I got the platinum training in home, for my 11 month pup after I adopted him and it’s worth it. The support to work alongside with my timing is the best. A lot of it depends on myself following through on training and being consistent. Price was worth it and we got the e-collar at the first session. All our questions were answered about the exams the pup must pass at the end, etc.

    We had an excellent experience working with Clayton at Dog Training Elite. From the very beginning, he was punctual, professional, and incredibly patient—not just with our dog, but with us as well. He took the time to really listen and understand our dog’s anxious personality, and tailored his approach in a way that helped build confidence rather than overwhelm. Clayton is very straightforward and always communicated a clear, structured training path, which made the process feel manageable and purposeful. His methods are not only thoughtful but truly effective. Since working with Clayton, our dog has shown immense improvement in both behavior and confidence. We’re so grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer.

    Everyone was very knowledgeable and helpful. I started with puppy classes and I'm currently working on getting my dog certified to be a therapy animal. I couldn't have done it without Elite. They are always ready to answer any questions I have and show me how to correct and praise my dog. While the cost is high it is worth every penny to have a well behaved dog and trainers to reach out to if I run into any problems. 10/10 stars!

    I was impressed by the trainers, they were very kind and patient with both our dog and my husband and I. The sessions were always relaxed. We were able to ask a lot of different questions, and they were sure to always ask if we had any issues, did we need anything, were we understanding everything ok. I seemed to always have questions, they didn't mind one bit to answer, re-explain, or demonstrate until I understood. The whole training process was way easier than I thought, turns out it was just knowing & understanding my dog. We're so glad we did this program. Our little Winnie is now a trained dog with the same cute/sassy personality we love. We loved meeting Scout and training with him too!! Thanks Brad!
