    Dog training elite has delivered me the dog of my dreams. I worked with Hailey Roover, who was kind, knowledgeable, patient and always available. My dog being sprout is now a Certified service dog. We couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you, dog training, elite!

    As always my experience at DTE has been great. Marshall was my initial contact at DTE and it was great to train with him again so he could see Mo’s and my progress. Marshall had great suggestions for my remaining individual lessons that will assist with my goals for Mo and myself.

    DTE is amazing. Been working with Marshall for a few weeks now and I’m not sure there’s anyone I’ve ever met that understands why a dog does what they do and how to work on those behaviors. Best decisions we’ve made with our dog was using DTE

    After one week of camp training, Logan transformed my terrier into an obedient dog that recalls what she learned in class. She improved tremendously at socializing with other dogs by being at camp with them.

    Dog Training Elite is an outstanding “family” with whom to work. I say “family” because that’s how it feels when I’m with them, or they’re referring to another trainer. Christy and her team formatted a Therapy Dog training course for me, based on the commands my dog already knew. The timing between training sessions was perfect. We had ample time to practice and I never felt rushed. Tammy was very diligent in working with me for scheduling our next training session, and followed up with reminders. If I ever needed anything to assist with my training, all I had to do was ask! It could not have been easier! Thank you DTE!!

    Before my dog went to their doggie daycamp program, he was completely unpredictable, aggressive towards dogs, bikes, etc, and not great on a leash! Now, he's doing amazing! We've been able to walk past other dogs, bikes, scooters and he's been very redirectable! Josh came out to the house for our 1:1 visit and gave me pointers to keep us moving in the right direction! Highly recommend!

    Kristen was wonderful with my dog. She answered all our questions and really trained us along with the dog which was much needed for continued success.

    Debbie provided all the info I didn’t know I needed and answered all questions I had. Debbie confirmed my inquiries as valid, and I wasn’t just a task to check off the list. She made sure I was seen and heard in an uncertain time where I am, it seems, pulling teeth for answers from others. Debbie is a wealth of knowledge and compassion and will, I’m certain, continue to be pillar unto which I lean during this transition in my life.
