    I’ve worked with Scott for about a month now, and it’s been time well spent. He’s a great trainer: calm, patient, and a fun personality dogs really respond to. We’re three sessions in, and it’s already made a big difference in my anxious GSD’s confidence, which is a huge relief to me. Excellent training philosophy!

    Scott and Jen are AMAZING to work with. When they came to the house to meet us and evaluate my Neko, they took the time to get to know her, her personality, and listened to my concerns about Neko's behavior and my expectations about her training. Scott gave me a couple of tips and things to do with her that I started on following their initial visit. I could already see a change in her behavior. I was nervous about how Neko would act at our first group session, but her behavior had changed so much (for the better) that I actually cried tears of joy when it was over. I cannot thank both of them enough and am extremely grateful to them for their understanding, help, and support. You cannot go wrong with DTE!

However that was not the case .The dog had way too much energy and he was being confined to much . Meaning he was on a leash ,and crated at night . The company came to make an assessment . We was assured the dog trainable . Austin ,came .what a transformation ‼️‼️‼️ We call. Austin The Dog Whisperer. The dog loves Austin . We highly recommend Austin . .

    I adopted a dog with a high prey drive, so finding the right trainer was extremely important to me. I chose Dog Training Elite Huntsville because I wanted not only one-on-one training but also the opportunity to participate in their group sessions, which we’ll be starting soon. My private sessions with JB have been incredibly valuable—not just for my dog, but for me as well. He takes the time to explain the “why” behind each training exercise, making it easy to understand and continue practicing at home. I especially enjoy when he brings his own dog to our sessions. Having a well-trained dog there provides real-world learning opportunities and adds so much value to the training experience. JB is patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I’m already seeing progress and look forward to continuing with the group classes. I highly recommend JB and Dog Training Elite Huntsville to anyone looking for professional, effective dog training.

    We have had an incredible experience with this team training our pup, Hershey, to be a service dog. From day one, they have been exceptionally patient with her as she learns and adapts to her training. They don't just train the dog; they provide fantastic coaching to help her grow, mature, and succeed, while also helping me learn to communicate with her and meet her exactly where she is at. On top of that, their flexibility with scheduling has made balancing everything so much easier for our family. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dedicated, thoughtful, and professional dog training!

    Bob made a positive impact in our lives during our training with our goldendoodle Willow. He taught us the best way to train Willow to become the more obedient dog we were wanting. His confidence in us meant the world and he was always respectful and encouraging. Not only is Willow now an even better dog, but we feel like we are better dog owners going forward. Thank you so much Bob for being willing to come to our area and improve our lives!

    Kim from Dog Training Elite is terrific. She has a very compassionate manner with dogs and people alike, and her guidance helped strengthen my relationship with my dog. Additionally, the ongoing group classes are such a nice option for continuing the work after the individual training is over. We have seen nice progress in our dog's reactive behavior, and we are hopeful that we will see continued change as we implement the techniques were were taught. We view this as a very worthwhile investment in our dog's future.

    Our Dachshund is a major barker! We have owned several and we know that barking is their thing. Noah's bark is the loudest we have ever had! It also didn't help that he barked at everything and everybody all the time. We are having a big long camping trip in the fall and we just can't take him because we would be asked to leave the campground! I called David for help. He said an e-collar would work well. Boy was he right! We are doing well with the collar. We just use the vibrate so far. David was kind and let us work with Noah on our own before pursuing more formal training. Noah may need more and we will certainly be getting in touch with David! We really appreciate the help he has given us and being kind and doing Noah's issues by just what he needs at the moment. Noah by nature is a very sweet and loving little dog. We are really enjoying our house being alot calmer and quieter. Thank you David for giving us our sweeter and much more quiet little boy back 💙
