I enrolled my dog in the flexible program at Dog Training Elite Chattanooga and could not be happier. The teaching style was clear and easy to understand, which helped my dog make rapid progress. I saw noticeable improvement in behavior after the first session and the results have been tremendous. Rod always explained each step in the training and made sure we understood . I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Chattanooga for anyone looking for effective dog obedience classes and reliable training.

My husband and I cannot express enough our deep appreciation for the tremendous support we have received from the entire team at DTE Western Chicago over the last year as Bentley, our miniature dachshund, has gone through his training to become a certified service dog. From the very first day on March 17th, 2025, the expertise and incredible knowledge demonstrated by Tim, Katie, Grace, Pauline, and Jamie convinced us we had found just the right place for Bentley’s training (and ours as well!). We’ve gone through all three two week intensive sessions (These are awesome one-on-one training experiences by the experts.), numerous group sessions (We recommend you attend these whenever possible. These sessions are so interactive and fun and provide a great platform for ongoing training.), several camps (These are great opportunities to refresh skills and manners and for your furry friends to just have fun!). Bentley loves the training team at DTE and gets so excited when we go to the training facility. Bentley has passed all three levels of the AKC Canine Good Citizen Tests, thanks to the ongoing patience and guidance from the DTE Team who are AKC certified as evaluators. Tim and Katie have continued to expand and grow the training experiences they offer along with their training team and most recently, Erik joined the DTE Team. He too has brought tremendous knowledge and support for our ongoing training journey and his group classes have been both fun and educational. We tried another dog training group before finding the DTE Team and wow, what a difference. The professionalism, experience, and entire program at DTE is well worth your investment of resources, most importantly, your time commitment with your furry best friend. All our love and gratitude to the DTE Team! Richard, Bettina, and Bentley

Absolutely fantastic!! Jeff was very thorough and extremely informative during the assessment and Meggie killed it for our first session. I can’t wait to continue with the process!!

Kayla has helped my nervous dog so much! His behavior has improved greatly!

Brad with Dog Training Elite was incredible! He listened to all my concerns and tailored training specifically for my English Bulldog(stubborn!!) I saw amazing progress every single week. Brad was timely, professional, and very knowledgeable when it comes to the way dogs process info in order to learn. 10/10 Would recommend to any family or friend!!

Tiffany came to our house to do a consultation. She was very professional very well informed and I felt very comfortable with her.

Blaize was knowledgeable and really listened to our concerns with Hugo. She was supportive and encouraging.

I walked in unsure about how to help my high‑energy puppy, but left feeling hopeful and supported. The trainer was incredibly patient, taking the time to understand my dog’s personality and showing me simple, clear steps. Each session felt catered to my and my dogs needs. I especially appreciated the gentle approach during our private dog training sessions, which made my nervous dog comfortable and eager to learn. After a few weeks I’m finally seeing good manners at home and on walks. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Greater Nashville for anyone looking for a caring and effective dog behavior specialist.

We had a great experience working with Hannah Randall from Dog Training Elite. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very flexible with scheduling, which made the training process easy to manage. She explained things clearly and helped us feel confident continuing the training on our own between sessions. A good dog trainer doesn't just work with the dog but also teaches the owners how to be consistent and effective, and Hannah did exactly that. We saw real progress and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive dog trainer.

Brad was so patient, knowledgeable, and respectful when in my home. Much progress with 2 very ill behaved pugs. I would highly recommend him for your home training needs!

Jessica is the best! She's calm, direct, knowledgeable, encouraging, so sweet! Our dog Poppy loves her and we do too 🥰

First session was very informative and went very well. Brennan is great! He truly understands your dog and Ziva just loved him! Super excited for our next session!

What’s better than competent, knowledgeable and personable dog trainers? When they come to your home and give individualized bespoke training! Iliana and Jason have been training my 7 month old goldendoodle Lola and they are outstanding …we’ve utilized all the techniques including choke, prong and e-collar. Lola is now a more confident dog and a joy to walk around our town of Woodbridge. They also run group sessions with their client dogs which is really valuable in socializing Lola to other dogs and managing her behaviors. When I take Lola to the dog park, she is very comfortable with other dogs and plays well with them! I highly recommend this dog training program. It has given me the tools to properly communicate and interact with my dog.

From Fearful Rescue to Confident Companion – Exceptional Experience in Frisco! I cannot thank Joseph and the team at Dog Training Elite Frisco enough for the transformation in my 1-year-old GSD/Lab mix, Lily. I rescued Lily at 4 weeks old, and despite my best efforts, she struggled with severe anxiety, leash pulling, and reactivity toward people and other dogs. At 50 lbs, she was becoming impossible to walk, and I was truly worried she’d never be able to enjoy the world around her. After an insightful evaluation with Tra, we decided on the 2-week Board and Train. As a nervous dog mom, I was worried she would shut down, but Joseph was a godsend. To ease my anxiety, he provided daily pics and updates on her progress, which meant the world to me. Joseph didn’t just "train" her; he matched her energy, recognized her sweetness, and built her confidence from the ground up through discipline and engagement. He used creative training environments—like walks in the woods and outdoor sessions—to meet her exactly where she was. It’s clear Joseph views dog training as an art and is his passion; he invested so much heart into her, and the bond they formed was great to see. The "hand-off" was seamless. Joseph spent significant time showing me how to transfer those skills at home. Austin then provided the "missing link" with in-home reinforcement sessions. He was fantastic at coaching me to ensure I was executing commands the "right way" so Lily and I could have long-term success. Between the board and train and the group classes, Lily has become a thriving, loyal family companion. I have zero hesitation recommending Joseph for any Board and Train needs and Austin for expert in-home coaching. They didn't just train my dog; they empowered me to be a better owner and Lily a thriving, loyal family best friend!

Jeff was great with our dog Sera, she loved him and his dog. We are really excited to start training with him. Had our 3rd lesson with Meggie and it was very good she have us great advice. Meggie and Happy were awesome to work with and she is very positive. Finally went to a puppy socialization class with Jeff. It was really good for my puppy and really showed me what I still need to work on. Seraphina did really well and I was super pleased. I definitely have my work cut out for me though cause she could careless about treats. She just wants to play. She was definitely ready for bed last night and she's still tired this morning..LOL Jeff was out today and he was excellent with Seraphina. She is a very stubborn alpha puppy and he really helped me to understand how to handle her stubborn side. She is already listening better, but i am working on being the alpha in or relationship. I had to tie her to my desk cause I told her to stay and she kept leaving. Eventually I was able to untie her and she stayed and fell asleep 😴 💤 We all went to Lowes with Meggie and had a great class working on sit for duration and not breaking with distractions. Seraphina loves running through the big blue flatbed carts. It was very fun. Thank you Meggie. Just start the advanced obedience training and it has been worth it. This next step helps hold me and my dog more responsible. I have done lots of training in the past and I have learned a lot from DTE. Thank you Jeff. Thank you Meggie for another wonderful lesson Sera is really coming along with this second phase of training.

We have had a great experience with Dog Training Elite! The center based training with Austin was very helpful with necessary basic commands, and the in home sessions with Ali were amazing with specific needs in our home environment. Their office staff, along with their trainers are wonderful and truly care about your pups well being!

Our adopted pup had a very rough life in the beginning. We hired Dog Training Elite and worked with Bob and Mia. They helped Daisy learn how to trust people, be confident and learn many skills by command. It gave us a great start on how to continue with the training so we will have a well behaved pup and that in turn makes all of us happy!

Why we chose Vince at DTE to train our Presa Canario puppy Mater. I first spoke with Vince over the phone he had a kind gentle nature. Not only does Vince love dogs but he also loves people. Our puppy Mater took to him immediately as did my husband and I. We just finished our 6 in home sessions and we couldn't be more pleased with Maters progress but also our own progress Vince is so knowledgeable and relates that information so we understand. We learned so much. Vince isn't afraid to take extra time to answer questions, to work with you and your dog. He is a fantastic, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable trainer. Highly recommend his service for anyone looking for a great trainer.

When I first started training with Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast, I was honestly overwhelmed. Kora is reactive, and there were days I felt discouraged and unsure if we’d ever feel “normal” out in public. After Kora was attacked in February of 2025, I thought her career as a service dog was over. From day one, Tina and her staff met us with patience and zero judgment. Tina didn’t just hand me a list of commands — she helped me understand my dog. She taught me how to read Kora, how to advocate for her, and how to build her confidence instead of just correcting behavior. This past week, Kora passed her Canine Good Citizen test and earned her first title. I walked into that test nervous because while I know how far we’ve come, I still had doubts in myself. Watching Kora work confidently and walk out with that title meant more than I can put into words. Because of Tina and her crew, I have begun to slowly see my dog step back into service dog work. She has a renewed interest in working, she’s excited to go out in public, and my trust and confidence in her ability has improved immensely. This didn’t happen overnight. It took consistency, guidance, and a trainer who truly cared about our progress. I’m so grateful we found this company, and I recommend them to anyone who feels like they’re in the “hard stage” with their dog. It does get better — and having the right support makes all the difference.
