    My life has been forever changed by this training. My service dog and I have learned how to communicate with one another, trust one another, and be a team built on mutual care and love. I’ve learned so much about myself and I would recommend this training for anyone interested in training their dog.

    Today My dog Nova and I did our Public Access Test. Our trainer Renee Juliano a highly trained Dog Handler with Dog Training Elite. This test is to ensure that dogs that have public access are stable. The Bottom Line of this test is that Nova demonstrates she is safe to be in public and that I demonstrates I has control of Nova at all times. Our final Result was "Pass." Renee is a valuable quality skill in her trade nothing but the best.

    They are truly the best. They are knowledgeable about what they do and always so helpful. They have made a huge difference in our lives in what they have accomplished with our service dog and we are still in training so it’s incredible what they have done for us. Our service dog has been life changing because of them. They are also wonderful people with genuine caring hearts, we love them and we just couldn’t recommend them enough.

    We had Clint as our Trainer. He was great with my overly anxious loud dog. Took no time at all for Miley to realize there is nothing to fear. I learned not to just ask Miley to listen but to command her to listen. This made a huge difference. My family and my family friends have all notices she is much more calm when they are over. Would totally recommend!

    Ramiro did an incredible job walking us through the process with Koda. The transformation from the beginning was noticeable and welcome. We have the tools necessary to keep moving forward. It was well worth the investment to have confidence in managing Koda’s instincts and getting the desired behavior. We would highly recommend Ramiro and Dog Training Elite to help in your situation.

    Amazing staff! We got our dog and he was about 7 months old was not confident due to his previous owners. After training not only does he do an amazing job at commands but he has so much more confidence in himself. We got a new puppy recently and she will be going thru the same training with them

    Michael from Dog Training Elite has been absolutely amazing to work with. From the very first session, his knowledge, patience, and ability to connect with both us and our dog really stood out. What impressed us most was how he helped us understand Cricket’s strengths and showed us how to use those to guide his training. After just one session, we could already see a noticeable shift in Cricket. He became more focused, more eager to please, and started moving out of that chaotic puppy phase. Michael doesn’t just train the dog. He teaches you how to communicate and work with your dog in a way that really sticks. We’re incredibly grateful for his guidance and couldn’t recommend him and Dog Training Elite more highly. If you’re considering training for your dog, you’ll be in great hands with Michael.

    Wow. I am very impressed with the training Annie and Oakley received at Dog Training Elite (DTE). Mitch and Tina are patient and attentive camp counselors/trainers. They did a great job helping Annie and Oakley to improve their manners and learn new skills. (Ms. Manners would be proud). Special kudos to Marcy who coached the dogs and me as we worked through annoying, challenging and bothersome behaviors at home. Marcy is an exceptional trainer. She possesses outstanding dog training skills, great people skills and exceptional communication skills. The girls are definitely starting to flourish as new behavior expectations are established and achieved. The combination of day camp and home visits is a winning formula. As the dog training journey continues, we look forward to attending group classes and watching the girls thrive and become great canine citizens. The customer service I received, from the moment I inquired through camp and home visits, has been exceptional. It is clear that DTE leadership and team members are not only committed to providing great canine training but also on delivering outstanding and professional customer service. Bravo Team DTE!
